Inaction is still an action. Its blatantly clear Luce had involvement in this situation and just him claiming he didn't threaten the dealer to withhold bikes doesn't hold a lot of water.
Lets see if any of these people are willing to show phone and text records. Never happen, but would likely get to the bottom of it.

The fastest and easiest way for Luce or Walker to absolve themselves and restore their name would be to prove it via phone records, assuming that exists.
Pull out your phone and tell everyone in the room, "This conversation is going to be recorded".
His son Matt was pretty good amateur and been racing 250 2 stroke at the last few outdoors. Even went over the finish line side by side with Sexton on Saturday mimicking his celebration. Was pretty funny.
Look him up on Instagram
Texts and call records are easy to delete from your phone.
It’s important to hear from everyone with alleged involvement
Yes, Yamaha have a lot to answer for, but lets not say we will not ride/buy their bikes just because of this shit show.
Yamaha has beef in this fight, and it doesn’t sit right with me.
Stellar bike it will be but my convictions are strong on this.
Deegan and Cotter allegedly take him into a office and do the good cop bad cop routine on guy
Guy and engine builder gets called over to his trainers tent (Matt walker) to be harassed and screamed at by walker and Donnie Luce played role of quiet tough guy
His sponsor/dealer allegedly was threatened by someone that Yamaha would end their dealer agreement with them if guy went through with claim
Guy drops claim
Vital begins initial melt down phase
RacerX tried to blow it over as nothing in a racerhead article
Vital commences meltdown
Interview with guy comes out
Vital REALLY melts down, pitch fork and torch sales sky rocket (rightfully so)
some Sore Loser comes on here and calls guy lier without actually calling him a lier for 21 hours straight before sleeping
Vital continues to melt down
Engine builder for guy does a couple interviews
Vital melts down some more
Jesus , what a shit show. Not going to comment on the whole subject , because it looks like some back door shenanigans going on , and I'm not sure who's doing it.
All I’m going to say is hopefully in the future the factory’s don’t bring out a bike they’re not actually willing to lose for the price of a claim
Pit Row
Not just a statement, actually answering some questions. So far we’ve only got a secondhand summary from Weege.
Between Steve's post and Dereks's interview and what the kid said...It doesn't look good for "The Talker" . lol.
On a side note. Claim Gate 2022 could be the biggest story ever in the history of amateur motocross.
But other than that, nice synopsis.
Oh, and based on the engine builder interview, I feel pretty vindicated. Glad I didnt rush to judgement. Derek stated his account doesnt match Brennan’s. And if Derek can come out of this feeling alright about Cotter and Deegan, there’s quite a few here that look pretty stupid.
And it aint over yet. I expect the Matt Walker interview to be interesting.
He most certainly backed every important detail we have heard
1. Tim cotter and BD took him into a room for much longer than DC stated.
2. Tim cotter acted as he was a head ama official
3. Donnie was being a bitch and wouldn’t shake his hand and was right in the middle of it while walker was texting Yamaha
4. Walker flipped out on him in front of the kid threatening an ass whooping that most kids would not react to well
5. His sponsors were being talked to by Donnie and walker and cotter and that most of what Brennan said is spot on and that he’s a great kid.
Now from all that you say what you said? Dude get some sleep and give it a rest, you need it. Pls quit spreading ba or we will all have mixed feelings and be confused
