he’s badass. making mains at 38. But at the same time I don’t wanna see him get hurt really bad fucking around in the back of the pack. He’s secured his legacy. As long as he’s having fun I guess!

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

He actually made improvements and heats race fast lap was pretty good.

Ah! Someone who knows. The heat race was a significant improvement except for an
unknown issue that dropped him from p6 to p12.

I’m enjoying the lcq drama with Reed. It’s a test of the champ’s resolve. Will he fight to improve, this late in his career? No other champ has put himself through such a test.

Chad’s too smart for his own good. He knows he isn’t prepared enough and he’s not hanging it out. He also doesn’t want to get hurt and ruin his Lambo gig. I think he will progressively get better.

Me too. Better to burn out then to fade away.

Just hang it up and avoid the risk of injury.

I support him doing whatever he wants but this sport is too dangerous to go out and prove absolutely nothing and risk everything.
Do you still race?

Yeah that would be the most privateer bike he's ridden his whole career. Suspension doesn't even have coatings. However despite that, hard whoops were the reason he was slightly better last night. When he was getting lapped by Roczen he made some ground up again in the whoops. He was actually faster than Roczen through the whoops that lap at least. Which made me question what was going on with the 94 bike?

Anybody know the significance of the no 47 on his butt patch? At first I thought of Sharky, but I don`t know if he ran a 47?

I think he is smart for doing a farewell season. If you actually go to the race you would realize that he has a huge following still and is bringing fans from all over to say their goodbyes. Wish James had done the same. If you wish otherwise I don’t think you are a true fan of the sport. Guy did a parade lap last night with the boys throwing whips and Nac Nacs off every jump. It was the highlight of the entire night.

I wish you guys would let Reed do what he wants and let him enjoy himself.

Your opinion and how you feel means nothing and you should only care about how Reed feels and what he wants to do if he is your "hero". If this tarnishes what you think of him then you're not a fan of him.

I'm proud of Chad doing what he wants and doing things on his terms.

He's coming in unprepared. There is a top 5, possibly a podium coming before this is over.
Easy.....I'm afraid the top 5 ship has sailed unless there is a yard sale where a bunch of guys get injured and no one wants to see that. The guy can do what he wants and if still has the balls to line up every Saturday and continue to make the mains despite a lack of prep and a bike that does not compare to the top guys, good for him. I root for him in the LCQ's (although I would rather see him come straight out of the heats), and I hope he makes every frickin' main event he enters this year. That would be so impressive. Anyway, with all due respect, I just don't see him breaking into the top 5 with the pace these guys have going, coupled with the depth of talent in the field. If he can sniff around the top 10 that would be a crazy result.

I think the bigger issue might be, what does he want to risk to prove when he has already proven more than 90% of the top SX guys in the history of the sport?

I think everyone is being a little hard on the OP, I kinda understand what he is saying. It sucks to watch an all time great struggle. The only racer that is undefeated is father time. It happens in all sports where a great hangs on too long and has a forgettable final season. The mind may be willing but it isn't there anymore. I almost wish SX had provisional starts where former champs made the main automatically. (I said almost, get off me)

It will suck bad if he doesn't make some mains, but it will never tarnish his accomplishments. He is on Mt. Rushmore.....
