Kdub is a vet rider with good experience and probably good at bike setup which might help James, but lets face it he has been off the pace lately.
Josh Hill has had a hard time finishing a season and if he was needed to do a team orders type deal or get a result late in the season he might not even be racing.
On the other hand if IT9 was JS1 teammate then maybe JS1 wouldn't ruin his seaon by landing on him at the 1st race of the season.
All I can say is I am glad I am not Larry Brooks.
I guess that is why he makes the big bucks!!!!!!!
what a stupid comment...
1) All you had to do was listen to the 09 Hondas popping and farting to realize the EFI set up was far from perfect.
McGrath at the X Games was another example.
EFI is not the savior it is cracked up to be but there are fixes out there.
Even in the car world there are many not pleased with the on/off throttle response...there are forums out there for G35 and G37 owners where they complain big time.
2) L&M has two riders in mind and there is a non talent factor at work that will determine which rider get picked.

Do you really think it didn't happen?
Btw, you missed the sarcasm in the post but that's ok...
Sheesh.
I remember James saying something like 50k for the second rider, for the 2010 season.
One would assume they would have had to come up with quite a bit more then that to get Kevin to agree.
L and M would benefit from another rider that is very knowledgeable in the set up an all new scoot. Brand new bikes are like starting from scratch and that can be a tough thing to deal with such short time frames.
KW: He has already had a long and storied career and now has 4 children. How much are you really going to get out of him?? He has very little upside and at best he is on the team for one year. You already have the #1 guy and KW is not going to leave it all on the track. The amount of effort out of him will be minimal and his biggest incentive for riding next year is his MSR money. Team orders, that would never happen with KW. He has been around so long that he will never play second fiddle.
JH: Here is a kid that got side tracked and lost his way. He is a highly talented rider and now he only has one thing to do which is leave it all on the track. To me, given the opportunity on the L&M Team he would shine. I heard he stayed at JS's house in FL this year which means they must be friends. You need good teamates and one that is fast. I think JH would do whatever was aksed of him by the team to prove his worth. He is young and could play a great roll in the team for many years to come. JH has nothing to loose and everything to gain, and I think he is going to put in one of the best seasons ever if given the opp on L&M.
I saw him ride over here one time a couple of years back when it was raining in CA and he was a cool kid that was normal to talk to. I hope he gets the chance. It would be bad to see a career end before it ever started.
But then again this is Motocross, so who knows what will happen. How many more weeks to A1??
Josh Hill had his chance to prove himself at Factory Yamaha and let it go. What makes you think he would step up for LB?
Look what Larry did for KTM. He left and they went into the toilet. He brought them up, then left with his good staff and KTM fell apart. Its the staff not the riders that develop bikes.
Pit Row
Stewart crosses the line every time he throws a leg over the bike and if it's not set up properly it's much more likely to spit him off on his head. What L and M doesn't want to do is play catch up all year like they did last year.
The biggest thing that matters in the 450 class when it comes to the motor in supercross is making sure that the bike runs cleanly and the power is tractable.
Suspension set up is king when it come to the big bore class in Supercross.
Sarcasm
I didn't want to just come out and call you a dumb fuck but you have to admit there are some on this board that fit that the name fits well.
OK
its called experience.....plus he's popular , well liked and RESPECTED....by most.
I guess he could always go and buy the sodas for james when his "man friend" cannot be found.......
Post a reply to: Kdub to L&M????? Could it be?
