I'm way out of the loop. Haven't read a Stewart thread in three days. Didn't even click on the link, but the only way I could see James on a Honda is if Brayton goes to HRC to fill in for Roczen, and James takes over the spot at MCR, thereby not taking a Honda out of the mix.
That is definitely the best way to comment on threads. Don't read what they are talking about and then leave your 2 cents. Perfect.

Yall really still gonna keep craptalking that stew is done huh? You all know he is capable of riding as good or better than half the field with a good month of serious riding and sibling rivalry on the practice track with the mookster. And he's on arguably the best bike. Cmon y'all.

What about years 1990 through 2014? People seem to forget about those years often. Who cares how he does? If he wants to race, good for him!!!

It sure sounds like Roczen getting injured and Stewart buying Hondas are two separate events and not connected in any way. It doesn't sound like James is anywhere near riding Ken's HRC bike by any means. Just a Red coincidence.

Can't wait for him to come back so you haters posting negative stuff in every single James thread have more to cry about.

I don't care what anyone else says, I am beyond excited for this. Was hoping he would end up on a Honda. Now if he could just make the the Atlanta round that would be the icing on the cake. Go Bubba!

I'm ready for both James and Barcia to get back in the ring. With Roczen out we need some new storylines. I still believe both can win races.

Not a JS7 fan but I am impressed that he is putting his $$$ up and going at it on his own. I think it will be a tall order for him to compete week in and week out for top 5's being this late coming into the game. Will I be surprised if he does? No, but I wont expect it. I wish him luck and the best of health.

You have to be smoking sheetrock to think JS7 is going to come in and win races right away. I am a huge fan of his and always have been, but we haven't seen the real Js7 since 2014. Hopefully he can prove me wrong, but even if he doesn't, I just want to see him ride. Id say consistent top 10 finishes would be as good as a win. I think its possible for him to get a top 5 or two.

I just want to see James finish races. Would love to see some top 10's right away, but more concerned about him just putting in some solid laps and building up his confidence and momentum. Just stay upright and healthy.

I'm excited that he's going to be out there racing. With the loss of KR, it was looking to be another sleeper of a season. At least the "James element" will make SX "Must see TV".

But to the (shanexsan) comment, "he's as good or better than half the field with a month of serious training". Sorry, if he's only trained one month and lines up for a race against this field, he will get hammered. I don't care who he is. Hopefully, he's been doing his due diligence up to this point and will actually come in ready. Just being James Stewart isn't going to cut it in 2017.

I dont care how much money a person has. If a guy walks in to a dealership and buys a couple of bikes and proceeds to source engines and suspension, etc. all out of pocket for the most part as we are to understand this situation. That person would not be doing this blindly and not having himself prepared to race from start to finish. Nobody really knows what James has been up to since the summer aside from enjoying his new born and doing some riding. Nobody knows if he has been training or not. But as serious as this sport is, and as serious an investment at his level is, it is hard to believe he is coming off the couch all of a sudden and throwing a pile of cash on some bikes. I think most people will be pleasantly surprised when the time comes and he is lined up for his first race of the season. You dont just piss money away just because. If that were the case, we would have already seen him on the gate.

Does anybody really think James Stewart would come to the line again after last years fiasco, and think he can do it unprepared? I mean, seriously...I doubt that he's stupid. He got his ass handed to him last year, after coming back...and for a guy with that kind of pride in who he is, that had to have hurt. I'm not being a fanboy, but I'm being a realist. Nobody knows what James has been doing. He hasn't said, and Mookie hasn't said...but I'll bet he's been getting his shit straight as much as he can possibly get it straight, and although he probably won't be a threat to win...I'll bet he'll impress a lot of doubters. I just don't think he'd risk another failed & embarrassing "comeback" at less than 100%.

100% agreed.

James has always ridden for a factory and had access to the best equipment available. Might help possibly explain why he showed up at A1 last year out of shape. He had just gotten a little lazy by that point, figuring he could get by on his skill alone.

This time it's a different story. He is using his own money to finance the majority of this. Seems like a good motivating factor to me for him to at least be in the best physical condition he can. He knows what a gamble this is, both financially and mentally. His reputation is at stake here. That, coupled with the fact that he will be racing against his little brother will hopefully mean he will come out swinging.

Dudes buy bikes, spend a shitload of their own money out of pocket, and show up with poor prep to races all the time. I know I've done it.

A lot of average joes do that. Whats your point? Unless you yourself are on a 450 sx gate every weekend? On a 20-30k bike minimum?

Weird how Deegan posted that photo shopped photo of the 7 on a Honda just 2 days before this article comes out....

Personally, I have always wanted to see James on a Honda.....Would have been better 5-6 years ago before the Yamaha detour.....but hey, we'll see how it goes.....With Kenny out and Dungey pretty much guaranteed the title baring any disasters, we need some excitment out there....Reed/ Stew..... Stew/Stew...... should be interesting in a few weeks..... i think he can easily pull a top 5 if he is healthy and feeling 100%...if he happens to be running up front, my guess is DeCoster tells Dungey to let him go.....

My point is exactly what it sounded like. You made it sound like nobody would do that. When, just as you say, the average joe does.

We all know James is no Average Joe in terms of talent or resource. What we don't know about him right now is whether he is an Average Joe in terms of professional drive this season.

It's a good thing him spending his own time and money putting it together IMO, him being on track is good, on a Honda is priceless like him or not and this should be a positive for all regardless.

I do expect him to be ready to go and I will sit and watch and hope he proves people wrong.

Wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong but I've also been right and I like my milk half full, the alternative sucks.

But only because we're not as good as James, so therefore nobody would televise our races. Not because of something inherent in James preparation or mental mindset this season.

All I'm getting at is that his buying and dumping money into bikes is really no (good) indicator of his level of race-readiness

Agreed! Been wanting to see James on a red bike for years! And from the below - looks like it coulda, shoulda happened.
