Do I still need a Neck Brace?

Since 2 strokes are Scientifically safer and all.

Not with those guys because they're too cool for neckbraces. But technically you're right.

I think Honda spends very little time worrying about what two-stroke fans think.

I also think two-stroke fans way overblow Honda's involvement in any demise of two-strokes.

As for the neck brace? Riding any bike is as dangerous as you make it. You should wear whatever gear you feel is appropriate...and then probably add some more.

Honda cant even get their four-stroke right, much less a two-stroke.

Yes and you will grow hair on your chest and drop your golf game by three strokes.

Y'all are all wrong. The truth is Honda has spies sent to all the races to talk positively about 4-strokes and discredit any 2-strokers (genuine race fans). In fact , they have personally transplanted 500guy as an undercover incognito sales rep on this forum. That's right, he's from Japan!

By what measure? At your local track? In the 450 class pro results? Recent championships for any manufacturer not sponsoring Ryan Villopoto are rare.

Couldn't happen. There wouldn't be enough attention to go around.

Perfect example would be you pulling all the pics of Barcia when he was test riding the Yamaha.
Do you consider yourself a MX journalist or more of a MX PR style spokesperson ?
If you had the inside story of a rider or manufacture that was unpleasant would you post the story or let someone else post it first?or ignore it all together?

So you think I got a call from someone from Honda? You'd be incorrect.

Next.

No I don't think anyone called you, I do think you know that in your business its better not to step on toes as MX/SX is a small community. Would I do your job different ? maybe a little and I would let MXA do all the gutter stories .

I really do not know why it sounds bitter, why pulling a pic ? To trouble BamBam ? To make it like Reed/Brooks/Yami ? To add some drama ? I see no reason to see 1 pic of a rider on bike other than his contract. What about riders testing bikes before signing a contract ?

Now in term of professinnal integrity : do you really think any journalist that you lose the confidence of an athlete will get anything from him afterwards ?

And about Honda ? Do you really think there is a conspiracy about Obama & 2 strokes because that market was so profitable that it was impacting the commercial balance between the US & Japan ?
