I'm just happy KW is willing to go. 4 stroke or 2 2 stroke.

Btw.....who is the one he's replacing? We knew Ronnie was out , but we had Travis , Brown and Sipes.....which one isn't going?

Ronnie's IG is saying Fake News. They are going to play this out until the gate drops.

There were some unrealistic promises from the very beginning. (Like Ronnie's participation.) That's why I suggested early on to get your orders in, as some of that stuff was going to be collectible because it was never going to happen as advertised.
Purposely misleading the fan base doesn’t seem very ethical.

Lol... So James Stewart is unethical too then? Maybe we need an ethics committee. WADA can run it.

I officially don't care who wins , seeing TP and KDub race a national track again is enough for me.

What kind of shape is K-Dub in? I haven’t seen him in 2 years. Why did he quit helping announcing Supercross? I liked it when he was there with Fro and Ralph.

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.

No need to look it up on YouTube. I'm old enough to remember the Falkin' Islands. That was some funny stuff. Laughing

Reed can race for Tasmania, or any number of Aussies 6 or 7 external states.

America should use Americans. Otherwise you defeat the whole point of the race. The MXDN just becomes another race once you start mixing and matching countries and riders.

Puerto Rico has always been a side show anyway in the eyes of many since the start of the loophole.
Going by that logic Reed should ride for Australia being an island state of America.

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
Back to this, 07 CR250 is not legal for MXdN. Since Honda didn't make a CR250R in 2010, he won't be on a Honda two stroke.

Tasmania is a state of the commonwealth of Australia. Sitting members of the Australian parliament are from Tasmanian electorates. Why do you keep acting like Tasmania is a similar situation to Puerto Rico? It's not like Hawaii could enter a team yknow.
Bro I am from Tasmania and can tell you that we are a part of Australia. We have produced successful riders too which is very impressive relative to the size of our small moto community.

Me too.

If PR is part of the US, then you already have a team.

If it’s not, then use Puerto Rican riders.

It’s one or the other. Choose one.

Tasmania is a full state of Australia. So , no, no Tasmanian team. But, we've a fair few 'territories, in the form of The Cocos / Keeling Island(s), Christmas Island, Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island, Ashmore, Cartier, Heard Island, Macdonald Islands, the Coral Sea Islands , and a few more - plus our Antarctic Zones. Not to mention The Northern Territory on the mainland, which is still not of State status.I thought it was, but, just a few days ago, saw that no, it still hasn't been given full State status.

I've said many times here, over a few years, that plenty of countries could play the 'Puerto Rico game'. Plenty have remnants of empire: territories and dependencies they could use for extra National teams. And, quite a few have more than 3 fast riders. But, they choose not to, thankfully.

It should not be happening.

But, of course, now with the Charity side of it, people will squeal ''you heartless bastard''.

It's quite a clever move, in a time where I think the powers that be, the FIM
- though, Luongo himself might well be rubbing his hands together in anticipation of an even bigger 'filling' of his pockets - were getting close to stopping this ongoing farce.

It's Des (Of) Nations - one Team for each Nation, not 'and an extra for those who can rort things'.

I'd rather see Kdub on a Cr250r. How about Bubba as an alternate (if he's in shape) on a KX250? This board would blow up!

Matthes asked some young racer on his show if he knew who MC was and the response was something like "I've heard of him"

If KDubs on a 2 stroke, people will look. No matter where he's running.
If there were a picture in the dictionary next to the word "Moran", it would be a picture of the back of your head because you were to much of a moran to face the right direction.
