What I thought I knew is what I read in this forum which most are nice rumors that get everyone stirred up. I see some of them play out to be true and others are on the end of 15lb test string with a dude in his lawn chair on the bank waiting for the cork to start bobbing. But really I enjoy the read and it's fun to watch some guys get all freaked out over them too. lol


So ok.....elaborate?

Considering JGR signed an extension to their Yamaha contract just a few weeks ago... That sounds a bit hard reaching...

BTO/WPS KTM will become Rocky Mountain ATV-MC/WPS (western powersports) KTM... West SX: Bracken Hall, East SX: Benny Bloss, 450 SX: Blake Baggett and Davi Millsaps... 450 Nationals: Blake Baggett, Davi Millsaps, and Benny Bloss.

Any rumors on where Dean Wilson will land? One of the last ones I heard was on the BTO team.

As far as I'm aware, Dean currently doesn't have a deal in place... Rumors of where... But him, Broc Tickle, Jake Weimer, Justin Bogle, and Weston Peick are fighting over what little spots are left

My Suzuki contact said the decisions on teams was going to happen on Monday... JGR did re-sign with Yamaha... Which means the only way I see it being a JGR team on Suzukis is if the two team thing is true.

But my contact was leaning more towards the decision coming down to what Suzuki Japan decides to do with the level of support for RCH and what will become of the Yoshimura team...

Who's over at JGR with Barcia if Peick is out? Or is that one of the spots that are being fought for?

my rep is a field rep, so I am sure your contact is more valid then mine. Just want to throw it out there and see what others have heard.

If I was a team and had to pick from that group I would take Bogle first and then Wilson, Tickle,Weimer and then Peick

Well, actually, I guess I do have some words...

Weston Peick has more career 450 Supercross podiums than all but one rider in this group...

This is no rumor. I know a guy that's high up at US Hodaka and he says they commissioned Jody Weisel to build the prototype. I cant really talk about it except to say that its going to have Ribi leading link forks with special digital feedback dampening modulator solenoids ( DFDMS). The WhartHog 450 look for it in October MXA.

From what I've heard that DFDMS suspension is about 1000X better than the SSS stuff out now days. Literally supposed to float over the dirt...and you'll save a bunch of money on tires...ya know , since they'll never even touch the dirt. And besides , we get an extra tooth ( stock! ) on the rear sprocket.....haha! SOLD! Have a feeling this will put the big 5 just about out of business. Stamp it!

Seeing as you are from Wildomar you may be a bit biased! I would think Tickle would land a spot before Weston but its basically a coin flip between the two.

So the team that is dominating the premier class championship is dropping sponsors like flies?

Speaks volumes. Sometimes it's not the team, it's the "sponsors" that are bullshit, if there's a shred of truth to RCH losing backing.

Technically, Weston grew up in Lake Elsinore. Although, every guy on that list (minus Bogle) live about 5-10 mins from me...
