Maybe I'm just weird but it's sheer arrogance coming from a guy in his 30's who's clearly trying to remind people how good he is by showing off his money.

Why does he feel the need to show his awards? everyone knows what he's done anyone who watches this sport with a clue, if they dont I'm sure the commentators will remind us every year, they don't there is wikipedia and many our websites to show his "worth", he's reminding us what he's done clearly because he's worried about getting old and people forgetting about him call it a mid-life crisis or self centred. I dont give a fuck if he comes Australia which is why it's embarrassing to watch and it's not like this is the first time he looks like a dickhead on insta its actually a weekly occurrence as of late.

I'm hung maybe I should post my dick on insta to show the world what a big man I am?

You have to be kidding me, I honestly don't know why I'm responding this but I'll give it a shot. Here is how a normal person looks at this post on Instagram. Keep in mind this is a NORMAL person, not a loser posting on Vital with nothing better to do than drag people down and talk crap about those much more successful than themselves.

A normal person would see his post and think "Wow, that's pretty cool that he has kept those and decided to share them for everyone to see. Cool idea for a throwback". That thought process would be normal. Most fans would be happy to see such a post because it brings back memories from years before and a time when racing was much different. Instead, here, we have a group of people who feel the need to over analyze and nit pick every damn thing he posts to the point where it is becoming laughable.

Here's a mind blowing idea for those who don't like him or what he posts, DON'T LOOK AT IT. It's not that hard, it isn't that complicated, and you might be surprised just how simple of a choice it is, give it a try and let me know how it works for you.

I read that the reason Chad Reed is the wealtiest ever motocross rider is because he's also a pretty smart guy.

He took his $1m bonus in i think 2002 and bought shares in a company of a computer he had at home and liked and saw potential in 'apple' he then sold those shares in i beleive 2005 for around $6m and put that $6m back on shares, but on 'Ford' when they were in the sh*t and shares were at 99cent a peice, he obviously realised that a company with that much history and heritage wasn't going to just fall by the wayside, big gamble but obviously paid off.

Apparently there is a running joke between him and his wife as a good few years ago his wife liked watching things on netflix and said Reed should buy some shares there, he didn't go for it or think it would take off in the way it has and those would now also be worth a small fortune.

I'm guessing if he hadn't pulled his shares from apple in 05 he'd now be a billionaire.
