My guess is Honda stopped giving him bikes and/or support and rightfully so. Generally quitting causes that and he was on the same line as Weimer anyway.....shouldn't have been on a factory bike and was basically a fluffer for the real factory guys. I am not saying he wasn't terrific on a bike, but second tier is second tier.

Damn! I never knew there was such a hate club around here where Cole Seely is concerned. No, he was never a huge contender for wins...and surely not a championship, but he seemed to be a great factory team support guy and always looked cool in the TLD gear. Some of you guys talk about the dude like he is a premier asshole! Jeez!

Holy speculation batman. Why don't you guys just wait and hear what he has to say before you pass judgement on the guy? One teaser post and you all are in here talking cash shit about Cole like you have any idea what he's even referring to. What a joke.

Exactly. This is the insanity of this fucking place. No intellectual consistency.

So now that he's retired it's totally cool to shit all over him and speculate?

Y'all bitch non stop anout how opaque the indusrty is and this guy actually wants to let sunshine in on some of the bullshit the industry does and you sum bitches go ballistic on his ass.

Never cease to amaze. I was in the industry for a short time and sorry folks, we're not dealing with the best and the brightest here. There's a shit ton of petty, stupid shit that does go on and should he called out.

I don't give one fuck about the brain trust running this sport into the ground and the way you all suckle the teet like somehow your paycheck depends on it is disgusting. Grow some balls people.
So when he does a instragram post like that with no detail on who he is talking about then everyone should just sit patiently and what for him to spill the beans? He wanted a reaction so he is getting one, if he did not want a reaction he would of actually posted more detail about what the heck he is talking about....fair?

There is absolutely no issue with anyone speculating, the post invites speculation. I do agree with 'shitting' on him, that is not cool. And there is a BIG difference between speculating and shitting on someone.

IMO he’s referring to Honda. He’s dropped hints here and there on his social media for a while now.

I noticed he now calls his CR250 two stroke a SF250 (Seely Factory)

Seems like the first few posts in a thread about someone are always negative. Why?

didn't honda hook him up with the factory suspension for his CR250 straight rhythm bike? and Dubya gave him free wheels, and works connection gave him free stuff...and whoever else...I don't know what he's talking about. Everyone seems to supply parts when needed.

Wasn't Windham # 14, then Seely was # 14?

What is this number-gate I missed.

Didn't Honda give him one of the only CR250 Factory motors available for Straight Rhythm? Sounds like he came out pretty good there. I doubt he had to send the motor back

Yep saw that he had the Lectron going on a SF250. Interesting that it says 'certain people' which makes me think of Troy Lee instantly but definitely can't see a fallout with TLD.

Should prioritising riding that 2 stroke in the hills over the drama stuff. Talking bad about certain companies will eventually make other companies want to steer clear of you even if your telling the truth.

Dylan Ferrandis is now 14,
Justin Cooper asked Seely if he could take 14, and Seely released it (he could have held it for 1 more year) Ferrandis had first pic due to scoring more points, and it was available so he took it, Seely was upset that he did not ask first,

I think it’s silly to loop all of those into the same basket. Oscar got an offer to be a crew chief, Dunge got buyers remorse, Seely prematurely retired and now regrets it, and ML’s managing skills are questionable (he said so himself on pulp)

Due to the pandemic Honda probably is holding off on paying royalties and retirement funds. Plain and simple

I didn't have much of an opinion one way or another about Seely until numbergate. I thought it was cool of him to ask KW before taking the 14, but to expect the same when he retired was a bit much. KW had achieved moto godfather status. Even at the end of Seely's career, if you asked me who number 14 was I would have said 'Windham, no wait Seely". His expectation that he had earned the same level of respect soured me on him. Now to badmouth previous sponsors? Well keep digging that hole, Cole. It may be a hit with the young rebel, "Fuck the Man" crowd, but doesn't really resonate with people who are deciding if they want him to be a part of their future plans.

I can't stand an interview with him. He says like every other word it's terrible. He is about the only guy on pulp that I just skip every time.

Sounds like he wants to burn some bridges and make some enemies for no dam reason but to be relevant.

Dude is so lame he couldn't even come up with a name for his brand with out copying a brand he definitely didn't build. Seely Speed Equipment. TLD Speed Equipment.
It’s Seely Speed Facotry. Not equipment. Lol. As for the Honda thing, all he does is post pics and vids of his trick dual sport Honda, while wearing his Troy Lee helmet. You guys are trippin’.

I don’t have tweeter or instasnap, but it looks like he may have been complaining about not getting free bikes back in February.....

Because the sad, miserable losers with nothing better to do than sit online all day see it first. Then, later on when the normal people get home from work or finish whatever productive thing they were doing with their day, log and see it they jump in to offer their two cents and it's usually a lot more reasonable.

Anyone who does bikes builds is cool with me, including Cole who seems to genuinely enjoy moto. I set the gossip aside and just enjoy the ride.

I enjoyed watching Cole race. He was a savage on a dirt bike and I’ll always have respect for the way he handled himself on the track.

But, there’s a select few that are able to make a living in this industry on their name alone. And the guys that do, if they’re lucky enough, usually have nicknames like 6x or 7x etc.. All the rest are coaches or managers.. Fall in Cole.

Seems his life gone downhill after career ended. He thinks he is/was bigger player in industry but he was just Weimer type of second rider without much personality for bigger crowds. There are 1000 new riders coming up and currently racing that most of factories see more potential guys and cant blame them. Seely had great career and sure was awesome rider that no one here in vital can match but he makes him self look less of star with these comments after career.
