Kevin has an 07 CR 250, it was stolen last year or the year before, never had gas or oil in it, not sure if it was ridden after stolen, but it was recovered and still in pristine condition. He has another one that he rides but if he is going to race, i’d be willing to bet it will be on the brand new (07) bike

This is at least better than people wanting to turn the event into a mish mash of riders and countries with names like Reed and Marvin. It defeats the whole point of the race.

For example, Tasmania, an isolated island state off Australia’s south coast belonging to Aus.. Reed can ride for them since Aus didn't want him.
The remaining seven territories are classified as external territories including Australian Antarctic Territory, which is Australia's claim to part of Antarctica.

The Islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint-Martin, Saint-Barthélemy, Saint Pierre and Miquelon (Atlantic Ocean) Reunion island, Mayotte, the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (Indian Ocean) French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna (Pacific Ocean) are all Frances territories.

Marvin Can ride for one of those.

Hopefully his fitness is better than the last time he raced in the legends race. He ran out of fitness way before RC did during that quick sprint race.
If I remember correctly, he got a flat tire. Fitness wasn't the issue. That and RC is an animal...

It sounds like there's full support from GEICO Honda on this one. I'd lean towards him being a four-stroke...but it's still early.

Could the Belgians create a Flemish or a team for Congo with Ramon, Dewulf and Wybo?

What's he gonna race? He's been on a Honda four stroke since they came out with them. Also I'm not sure any two stroke Honda will be considered a legal bike according to the FIM's approved machine list. No Honda's are even on the list, which must be a mistake, but none of the manufacturer's bikes listed prior to 2010 were approved.

Windham racing a two stroke for the team would make the effort even cooler than what was originally intended IMO.

What happened to the Mike Brown proposal?

What about Great Britain and Argentina both fielding teams from the Falkland Islands? That could get real interesting. Evil

This news is good to hear. I look forward to not have a bunch of drunks skulling bears and screaming for Ronnie while I'm trying to watch the motos.
So you haven’t been to Red Bud eh???

SWEET!!! Obviously it's all for a good cause and to have fun. They won't do much as far as results go but seeing K-dub riding a bike is always poetry. Regardless of where he ends up in the races. Now, who is the alternate for Travis? I love the guy but he isn't making it through one moto intact.

Now are they gonna sub Reed in for Pastrana? Travis is awesome, but I don't think there's a person alive who thinks he has one 30+2 in him, never mind 3 practices, qualifying race and two motos. I'm legitimately worried about his health.

Don't I feel stupid? I thought the comment about KW's beard was making fun of the pompous, elitists that were whining about Ronnie Mac. I guess the 30 minutes or so I spend each day are not enough to keep up with the "edumacated" members. Please accept my sincere apologies.

That's the way I took it also. I'm pretty sure that's the way it was intended.

Wow, someone's a little salty today...lol

And apparently desiring a certain level of respect and professionalism in our sport makes me an elitist. I had no idea.

You guys do realize a country would need more than 3 riders to field a second set of 3 riders.....right?

Most of the country’s y’all are throwing out there only have 1 or 2 fast riders.

I had no problem with Ronnie because of the rules that would pretty much make him no different from any other rider (aside from maybe off track shenanigans lol) but I have to say that Windham is a better choice.

That was in Vince McMahons XFL, not the National Football League.

Talk about a wet blanket if he has to ride a 4-stroke.
