JS7 - "Still bumm'n. Want to be out here racing, but everything is looking pretty good and I should have a few answers here within the next few weeks and so looking forward to that. To get myself out here and start racing with these guys again "
Anyways, could be wishful thinking on my part, could be wishful thinking on James part, but if his eligibility is reinstated because the FIM gives him a "time served" it looks like you could see James race a few SX races.
Would love to see it happen for James...

1- I would LOVE to see JS7 back out there sooner rather than later...it would just bring that much more excitement to the sport this year (and its already a damn good series already)
BUT
2 - If you do the crime, you have to do the time. While 18 months may be a little extreme, the precedent was set in other sports (according to an MXA article in this months issue)....other racers, not necessarily MX, have been hit with the same 18 months for the same substance, so its not like they are trying to "make an example" out of Bubba....he just happened to be the one that got caught.
Anyhoo...back to the subject. I dont know if he let something slip or not...but I would love to see him back out there.

i will say that while i think it's good he got punished, i don't think the punishment fit the crime. that is if they don't let him line up for the nationals. i agree with keeping him out of supercross for the year, but if he can't race until August then in my mind that is much too severe.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. That was too easy to pass up.
Hope he get's to come back soon. It's more exciting when he's up on two wheels and in the mix.
Dude! It's been forever since I've seen this GIF. The one in your signature. I loved this girl and always wanted to know who it was. More info please.

must have been the gif
at the end of the day , they either have to have the testing and the subsequent punishments or they have to let it go wide open.
The Manufactures wanted the testing now they have to live with the out come.
I just think the punishment was a little harsh.. If what we heard is true, with the paper work just not being filled out right or on time or whatever, then big deal man. A fine would of been enough. To stop the guy from working in the twilight of his career and to take him away from us, the fans (because of paperwork!) It sucks!
Based on the policies that were in place and the precedence that was set, yes it was justified.
My point, though, is regardless of what the penalty is or what you/me/anyone thinks it should be, that probably has little to no impact on what I would imagine other racers think of him being able to get out of his punishment and compete with them on the line. I'm saying that with the number of people trying to "make it" and the competition on the line, I would have a hard time believing other racers would be ok with getting special treatment to race against them. That's where i'm coming from. Not necessarily the "appropriateness" of the punishment.
Maybe my post was a little difficult to read too....
