I take it that the Aussie motto of "harden the f*ck up" never quite made it to him. Or maybe he's one of the reasons for it in the first place.......

Back in 2008 I did the same. Had a replica number plate made and asked Reed to sign it. He asked where I had it made and I told him any graphics company can produce them. He literally threw it back at me and said “that’s so gay”. I was a fan before then. Sorry but the guy can be a real dick at times.
Fast forward to the Sydney SX and visiting riders from the USA have no problem signing anything, including opposing sponsors gear, replica number plates ect.
Whether they like it or not they are role models to many and should try and act accordingly.
Maybe Reed could learn a thing or two from the little girls who gave away their signed plate to another child.... It doesn’t take much effort to brightens someone’s day or even life. For many fans, meeting their idols is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I think some riders/athletes/celebrities forget that they were once fans too.

And it was his bike to keep or sell. Reed should have had his own bike prepared then. He has plenty of money, instead of crying about a used 2 stroke.

He apologized for not being able to sign the plate. Obviously there is a reason for it, he wasn't just being a knob. Then he proceeded to sign a poster and give it to the OP. It wasn't a 2 hour wait for nothing, it was a 2 hour wait for exactly what was advertised, an autograph signing.

He was there handing out free posters and autographs that can easily go in the mancave, maybe not as cool as a plate for some people but still memorabilia that can go in the "man cave". Non issue, good bloke, carry on with your lives everyone.

Common sense? You two have about the least amount of common sense here. Sometimes fans put blinders on and it's so annoying. Reed pulled a dick head move, there's absolutely no other way to slice it and no excuse for it other than he's deathly afraid of number plates because his family was violently murdered by one.

You can still be a fan but admit he pulled a dick head move.

HEY.. Don't be a dick. His family wasn't violently murdered by one. They were violently murdered by one of the fans who Chad denied signing their replica plate. The fan beat them all to death with the unsigned plate...

Replica plates don't kill people. People kill people...

OP, before or while you were walking around with the stack of numberplates, did you ever consider someone might see you as a reseller?

One does not have to look far to find someone trying to sell pro pants and jerseys for a few hundred dollars each.

Maybe he thought you were a reseller.

After the motos at unadilla my kids wanted to get reeds autograph. We went over to the rig and there was a person standing there with a bag full of cr22 toys they just bought at the track. People were yelling to him trying to get free stuff. I didn't think he was going to come over sign anything, and deal with the mob. But he walked past all the other people straight to my son quietly standing there, and signed his cr22 back pack. Made my kids day and gained me as a fan.

Well myself I would say at least a couple of hundred fans had paid their local graphics company to print out a 22 plate to get signed to hang up in their man cave only for reed to turn is away, I'm still a reed fan just a bit bummed about it tbh
Upon thinking on it some more, I'd say it probably has more to do with the graphics company potentially using his name / likeness to sell these "22" plates to "a couple hundred fans" rather than him being worried that you yourself were going to turn around and resell the one plate you were getting autographed.

Can you post a photo of the plate in question?

When you go to events and buy their sponsors gear, aren't you supporting athletes and how they make a living? So why does it make sense for them to get butthurt if someone makes $200 off their stupid signature?

Nothing says "my balls are buried extremely deep in my wife's purse" like a man cave. I don't blame Chad for not wanting to contribute to that.

So with CR saying "sorry i cant sign that", could we assume it's because it was a replica plate?

I wonder what Michael Jordan would say if someone asked him to sign a "replica" pair of Air Jordans.

And if Jordan said no fuck you, what would happen if the person trying to get them signed made a post about it on Vital Basketball.

He apologised for not being able to sign it, then signed a poster. What more is he supposed to do? Sign whatever is given to him despite whatever contracts or repercussions he may receive, all so some dude gets a different piece of memorabilia to what he's offering everyone else and there's no vital drama?

Come on mate he's a motocross rider not santa clause

Take a sharpie and sign his name to it as close as you can get it.....who the hell is going to know when its on your wall?...Just don't try to sell it as an authentic signature. You can lie about it all you want to as long as you don't sell it as the real deal......I can't imagine its worth much anyway? Who knows.

I can't imagine his sponsors care what he signs when it is brought to him. How can he control that. I'm guessing he didn't want to have it sold for profit only. I would probably do the same thing if a grown man came up to me with a bunch of stuff to sign. Probably don't want those types as fans anyway. If a kid brings it to you to sign......sign it man..Smile

I personally can't imagine a grown man standing in line for any signature from another person.

I'd like to thank Josh Sheehan for handing my boy on Sunday at AUS X Monster booth a signed Kawy number plate by him and Jacko Strong after he missed out on being able to catch one being tossed out into the crazy crowd frenzy. We waited patiently for 20 minutes with him on my shoulders and after just missing one Josh came over near us, reached over and gave him one. That was awesome! Maybe it was his Honda cap. What a legend.
Also thanks to Ricky too for signing the red on green plate with a big number 1, no problems. Didn't bother with the OP because it has seemed like such a chore in the past, despite him being a favourite rider and coming from 15 minutes away.

He apologized, and signed a poster for him, what is dickish about that? But I'm not surprised coming from someone like you who turns up in every Reed thread to throw hate at the guy at every opportunity, I think I know who the dick is.
