"personal reasons" ? What? Is he out to really make a statement and demolish these guys the last 2 races? That's the only personal reasons I can think of seeing how he has the c'ship all sewed up.

Personal reasons means he's testing the 2015 Kawi.

I don't even know where to start on this one.

Kenny with Monster? No.
No motivation? More likely a 450 rookie discovering just how long the full Supercross season is.
Anderson? I think you might want to look for him on a white bike next year.

Hmmm......let him fill-in for the summer KNOWING good and well he won't be producing any podiums BUT with the intention of signing him for a full-time '15 gig (using this summer as a better way to get back into "racing" shape)????

That's where I believe you're wrong Wink . The "white" fork tubes are a giveaway that it's a factory bike.....plus that's Dana and I doubt he hangs out at a privateer trailer through the week haha

Maybe the Reed fill in scenario is what some of that "cryptic" information that was being sent out via Mama Two Two a few weeks back was all abooot?

.. I heard Monster may not be the team sponsor for Kawi next year ???... So perhaps Discount Tire is stepping up and having Chad be part of the equation makes sense.....

Nice point out dude At first I just thought maybe he was standing in Tedders trailer until I seen Dana also. I do find it odd Kawi would just say "Eh screw it throw Hanny on there" I mean dudes got mad talent but its gunna look goofy with Kawi not having any wins or podiums this year. Maybe if we have a healthy Reed on a two two bike that is .hah

Nobody. I see Jake Weimer as the sole rider under the Monster Kawasaki awning for outdoors. Heck, JW12 is fast outdoors! I'm going out on a limb and calling him top-5 overall when the smoke clears.

I don't know about top-5, I mean I would love to see it he's an awesome guy. However I think it's going to take a bit for him to gain back confidence to compete up front. He's got the talent that's for sure, he's just kinda fallen short in the last couple years I hope he finds a way to get things rolling again.
Lucky to be top ten. Just the way it is.

I'm thinking that Kawi is thinking that if they aren't going to get their money's worth out of him for the outdoor nationals, they're going to make him test the shit out of the 2015 bike until he has to take care of business. . . whatever that means.

I'm kind of baffled at the fact that a lot of you guys are finding hard to understand what "personal reasons" means...

Fu#%ing house is under a canopy of Oak trees in full bloom raining yellow(pollen not JS7) down on the yard, roof and into the air vents. It's been 3 weeks of misery so far and even the over OTC allergy meds make me feel like a zombie, so I tough it out out and cough and gag all night long.

At least Hangtown is just around the corner... Woohoo

Monster could buy out 94's red bull contract. Kenny has no motivation lately. Faster qualifier or near fastest and just does not
ride to his potential. Tells me he is done with KTM. Too bad he does not appreciate having the Man as your manager. Anderson has no problem kicking @ss on the KTM.

Do you mean "MotoConcepts"? Wink

Anderson said himself that his deal for 2015 will look "familiar". Pretty much tells me that, if it's a white bike...it's a Rockstar Husqvarna. But...what do I know?

Didn't Reed say he believed he had come up with some better parts than the Factory Team had? So, if he is in fact correct, why go to a bike that he is less comfortable on? I understand that money could be a factor but I've heard him say more than once it's not about the money. Lay off the whole team and the great bike you've built for what?

It's not about the money when it comes to getting paid but when it comes to paying I think it might be a little about the money and maybe some of his current sponsors don't want to help with outdoors would be the only reason I could see him taking them up on the offer and they will probably let him uses his group of guys while rv's crew gets the summer off also maybe just maybe he can get a leg up on the competition for next year when factory kawi gets to race the 2015 model

It would be interesting to see how he structures the deal. He passed up the RCH deal based on non bike factors. Why would he pass that opportunity and not this one unless the Two Two Team got to keep their jobs. My guess is there is some sort of Discount Tire play where Reed's team keeps their jobs and Reed maintains the right to make the decisions he wants.

Another wild guess. Kawi isn't turning the factory team over to Two Two are they?

.......putting Weimer under Chad's tent for outdoors and give TwoTwo a big fat check? Is that his second rider? Interesting thought.........

If RV is not racing due to personal reasons, it's none of our business. I just hope everything is well with RV and his family.

Well, you're not very good rider when you need 6 months to get bike setups right.

That's what I was thinking. That would be an awesome team.
