Hindsight being a lot clearer then in the moment. I'm wondering why the, dad especially, didn't start to think, "they're offering us a couple of engines and an invitation to the Goat Farm, maybe this bike is worth a lot more than I thought it was". I would have countered with, "how about 2 new bikes and a week at the Goat Farm". Then see what the Yamaha rep had to say. If they went for that I would have said, "nope, it's pretty apparent this bike is more than you're letting on."
Seriously, though, for the dad, not the engine builder, how valuable is that bike. For me and most people, hell yes. But it's one bike with an expiration date a lot shorter than the future his kid might have.

Don't make things more simple than they have to be there bud. Evil

There are so many obvious solutions to this. Your idea *would work. Also, money changes hands, deal done, nothing more can be done. No take backs, makes everyone think about the situation before anyone does anything. For good or bad.

Too bad AMA can't come up with valid rules.

EDIT: I also think there needs to be a clause about adult vs kids/children being able to claim.

The fact that SlowOldGuy let this meeting happen with a minor and no adult supervision is perplexing to me. He stated he was in the meeting and knew his dad wasn't available. Shame.

You’re going to feel really stupid for saying this when you see the rule for 2023. We had our Motocross commission meeting tonight and both of those items are going to be in the rule for 2023. Anonymity, and the transaction is final when the money changes hands with the contract signed. Also it will be added that you have to be 18 or have a parent with you or legal guardian to do a claim. So I have a little faith in me, I’m not the bad guy. Remember this has only happened four other times in history and not for the last 18 years And never with a Moto left a ride so we are going through a little bit of a learning process

Why would I feel stupid? In fact, I am happy that is the case.

You are finally making progress after a situation that forced you to do so. Also, anti blackball rules should be put into place. You smart guys figure out how to do that. EDIT - I know this is impossible, just saying. The claim rule should be accessible to all qualified with no ramifications as it is a RULE!!
Simple. Don’t run secret parts and no one ends up with sand in their vagina. (In other words don’t run secret parts and no one steals/claims your bike) or as it’s been in the past few and far between cases.

The AMA has off course nothing to gain by lying. Because it looked so good that they left a minor alone in a room together with a crazy billionaire mini-dad and a guy who acted like he was AMA but was MX-Sport. No the AMA has nothing to gain by saying: "We where there the whole time, we didn't left Brennan hanging between the sharks! We are the AMA we are there for everyone!"

About the Yamaha dealer also, he off course has nothing to gain by lying. Oh maybe he has, what color of bikes is he selling? What brand makes his dealership successful? Choosing between a 17 year old who never gonna make it, who only costs you money due to the sponsorship or showing the Blue Yamaha family some loyalty by dumping Brennan and telling Micheal Lindsay (not in a zoom but in a short text) I'm not pressured. Was he scared that his face would show his anger about what happen and the betray what has happened, that he choose for a text?!

I think the dealer (Chris) has nothing to gain so a statement that was simple and to the point leaves no room for error. If he did a full interview, it would have nothing but downside for his business. He has all the skin in the game where a 17 year old kid has snapchat to worry about.

He was helping Brennan with bikes he didn’t have to and you have to remember he’s a Yamaha dealer that’s his livelihood and his employee’s livelihood is selling Yamaha product so when a rider that you help that is riding free Yamaha bikes you gave him goes out at the largest amateur national event and try’s to claim a factory am support race bike from the same manufacture you make your livelihood with it puts a lot negative non wanted attention on your dealership with that oem and that’s why I’m sure he took the bikes back l. Dealer was probably blindsided and Brennan maybe should of talked to him first snd let him know what he was planning on doing
Hey, friend, said dealer gets “The Biggest Bitch involved in this Issue Award” aka the “Spineless-Guy Trophy”.

Period.

I hope he finds a good donor for his “back bone replacement surgery”.

It’s not fake and has not been proven to be fake it’s just your opinion that it’s fake and your opinion mean nothing in this just like you think my opinion means nothing in this. Here let me post them again so I can upset you again and you mob with pitch forks . If you had your way everyone would be out of a Job from Tim Cotter , Everyone at AMA, Mx Sports would be drop from promoting am and pro events, the deegans would be banned from all racing . But guess what your opinion doesn’t matter and none of this going happen

FYI, it's not my opinion. It has been discredited by the person that "supposedly" posted it. If someone can bring forth a more reliable witness to say it's not fake then I will change my opinion.

You are presuming guilt with no evidence.

He stated in his first interview that Yamaha had pressured his Sponsor then in another video said he wasn’t sure if that was the case.

Sounds like a lie to me.

So, have all businesses/parties involved followed through with their promises to the kid and the father and everyone is happy?

Does the Vital Jury all concede that there was in no way any fraudulent inducement used by any of the companies involved to get the father & son to drop the claim?

I really wanted to believe you till you said: "Maybe I had some empathy". C'mon the guy who creates witch hunts against riders, teams, dads who don't speak enough or being friendly enough with him, has empathy. A few former riders who where, very wrongfully being portrait by you are now laughing so damn hard.

Super ironic considering that you shared (in every thread you could find) the doctored social media posts that Brennan supposedly made about Haiden. Talk about twisting things up.

The dad DID NOT file the claim. The kid filed it. Therefore, the dad doesn’t get to decide if the deal is good enough. NOT to mention, the motors were never a set in stone deal. If that were the case, why would Donnie mention in the ML512 interview that the dad reached out again to ask about the motors, but he said it would be a few days before he could get back to the dad. I’m starting to believe you haven’t even watched the videos. I still want to know why Donnie said on PulpMX he was almost to the hotel when he was called and informed about the claim, but told ML512 he was at the track when he found out. And again, it doesn’t matter what Star wanted. The kid filed and paid the claim. DONE DEAL!

Maybe not, but he can tell his son to get up there and drop this stupid claim, or you can walk your ass back to Canada.

And at the end of the day that is exactly what will happen....as Bobby Regan put...we will re-assess their amateur program...you can guarantee that they will not show up at an amateur event with a semi-works motor again....
Or... its going the exact opposite direction, no "kid" will ever claim a "factory" bike again...
