Blast from the past. What's up bro?
this front man has been with Journey for a while. Hell I think he was living on the streets for some time before getting into the band.

Does any one actually buy a bike because of a “Brand Ambassador”? I think it’s some marketing money burning a hole in the brands pockets...

Call me crazy, but Dungey in red looks completely 100% natural to me. Like something that really should have happened.

Now RJ in orange, that's the one that looks the least right out of all of the pics I've seen in this thread lol!

I just literally thought about this the other day.

I would have thought Yamaha would have gone after MC because of '98-2001 and Kawi would have gone after RV. I realize both made a business decision, but I just thought the manufacturer's would have gone after guys that used their bikes...and yes I realize RV rode a YZ 85 and MC rode a Kawi in '90.

Didn't say that Pineda sucks, just that the band IMO is no longer "Journey" . Its very difficult for a band to replace the frontman and retain its sound and soul . When DLR left Van Halen and was replaced by Sammy, to me it was a completely different sound. Although I love Sammy ,it just wasn't DLR's Van Halen. Now AC/DC was an exception. Brian Johnson and the Bon Scott versions were equal.

Ok look. If you get to have multiple ambassadors, then so do I.

Suzuki = Robert, De Coster, Watanabe, Rahier, Everts, Barnett.

Still working on the other brands.
If you're gonna have Maico, then you better have Magoo on the list.

If I go back to 1976 to 1984, which for me was the ages of 8-16, I'd ID brands like this:

Yamaha: Hannah and Glover
Suzuki: DeCoster and Barnett
Honda: O'Mara and Bailey
Kawasaki: always Wardy
Husky: Chuck Sun and Micky Dymond
Maico: Magoo
KTM: Kinigardner
CZ: Falta

We just did not have enough exposure to the European riders to really identify them to a brand in the same way that I did with American riders. And really I was at the mercy of what MXA and Dirt Bike ran for stories and photos. If I think back to a Euro on a Yamaha I think of Mikkola or Carlqvist. Roger was enough of a presence in N America that I always identify Suzuki with him. Kawasaki.....Lackey kind of but Bad Brad was a total mercenary and jumped brands like Lechien jumped women. Of course Jobe and Billy Liles but that was much later. Honda in Europe, I really only remember Noyce, Malherbe and Thorpe, then later Eric Geboers.

There was a Journey before Steve.
Steve not being there is all on Steve.
I think he’s amazing. But, even he says he was “over it”. The dude seems pretty damn happy with his own gig these days.

Fro moved around enough in his career between blue and green that I didn't have an issue with him changing to Husky... plus he's a cool cat and they were going for that. I got it.

The others though. Crikey.

This thread has turned into a re-hash of the thread from a couple of weeks ago with all the brand / rider association.

Other pieces can come and go but Journey will be Journey until Neil Schon leaves. He is the glue that holds that band together.

That is all.

RV2 is still with pro circuit, so that's still true to his racing roots. Guarantee they getting a lot more yz's for motor work.
