The amount they sell I don’t get how they make profit.
Unfortunately even on my long journey to go have a ride last week for aprox $90 for an hour ( due to time constraints) including paying for fuel and track fee I was seriously considering an e MtB ... which if I did that from my House a 20 min drive to mtb instead of 1.5 hrs for moto and it’s also free !!!
Too Top it off m potentially home in under 2 hours..
And that folks is the problem with modern life ...
Time and money 💰 .

Paging Tony Alessi and Bullfrog. Run a special on some Spa's and get Chad on red for a swan song. He gets along very well with Malcolm, they even trained together for a while. He rode for free last year, his back is against the wall for a ride so assuming you'll pick him up cheap, anddd you let Brayton jump across to HRC to help them out with their short term plan, so assuming they'd be open to helping? Plus he's already on Fox so no gear conflicts to be concerned about (HRC/Fox long term relationship).

Plus the headlines of a Stewart and Reed on the same team?!

SX only as is the team, Mookie and Reed under the same tent brings HUGE marketing pull/fans to the semi, Friese for the last spot keeps the budget relatively in check.

And sob story for Joey but this is a Chad Reed thread.

In all due respect it didn’t need a rocket scientist to work that out

Reeds penchant for bad mouthing his past sponsors & team machinery is nothing new, and is a key factor in his having burned bridges with most everybody. It shouldn’t be so hard for a media-monster like him to hook a ride...but he’s pissed a lot of people off. I’m a fan...but he doesn’t have much of a filter.

Very truthful and it sucks that there's too many fanboys in the crowd to realize this. I say this too as a fan of Chad.

That really sucks. It sounds like he was really ready to come in this year dialed and racey. He wanted to do off season races and get after it. Fucking jgr/suzuki blew it. They blew the chance to have a total legend on their bike for the last of his career and go out swinging. He podiumed last year and was on the up until he tangled in the first lap and went down.

Hey man to be fair, we can’t blame JGR if there is things outside of their control that are possibly (and who even knows for certain) preventing him and thier other riders from being on the start line. But it sure does suck as a fan anyway. Let’s hope he pulls something out of his hat and at least gets to a few of the races 🤟🏼

And as a side note, I really really hope JGR is around next year, they are my Favourite team as far as teams go, they just have not always had my favourite riders 🤟🏼

They didn’t fake sip anything.

If a guy is drinking out of a can, he actually does it. Monsters were labeled tour water.
Watch AC92 podiums and press conference. Empty can, fake sip every time.

Chad basically says that JGR Suzuki is likely done and Matthes confirmed that American Suzuki has yet to commit to JGR or HEP for next season.

YIKES, thats not good. How can a company be that far behind all of their other competitors and clearly just know and feel like they are fine being the 6th place manufacturer?

You have JGR and CHAD FREAKING REED as a marketing tool, utilize the lucky break that Chad testing and then turning into a full time Supercross ride and make it a swan song tour.

Because they don't care about the dirt bike market anymore, and why should they? It is a fraction of Suzuki's sales. Why pour money into something that isn't profitable. Business sense...
You think KTM are making profit? Id say yes because they work at being the best.

Suzuki are in a dump and only they can turn it around. Profit can be made.

if Chad really wants 250 starts..

Cant he buy his racebike from JGR ?
or buy a new RMZ450 and buy technicaltouch suspension and a hinson clutch
Weekend warriors that can afford that, so could he.

Ask DW15 to lend his sprinter van
