Ping is one of the nicest guys you will talk to at the track, but I think Fox News fried his brain and I wish he would leave his political crap at home.

Yea I quit listening to WTS because politics were creeping in.

I noticed Matthes doing it too so Im out on all things Pulp as well.

Both of these guys on Twitter? oooof

I don't care which way you lean, leave it at home. I just want to hear the motocross stuff. 

Matthes is a bigger political Douche than Ping.....

He has chilled abit since DJT is out of office.

Be prepared for the next round next election. 

I don't talk politics unless I'm among friends, that can carry a conversation without wild accusations and attacks for simply preffering a candidate.

Otherwise, you run into rabid people on either side that just....are rabid.

I commented on his post like 6 months ago saying I enjoy his content and wish it was more moto and less politics because it divides people when it's not necessary. He commented saying I'm a F'ing lunatic that probably voted for Biden and addresses people by their pronouns. He's a head case

Well... did you vote for Biden?

Ping acting like he didn’t get anything out of this arrangement completely overlooks the fact that he now has the bike KR94 rode in RBSR during his “free agency”.

How much value do you think that adds?  More than a few Instagram likes?

Doubtful from that profile info, unless Biden was running for Prime Minister of Canada

Sure, but this is a general message board where people discuss moto.  Take our stupid comments and put them on our own platform called "____ Media", post it as a media outlet, then bitch and whine like an 8th grader and you open yourself up to even more scrutiny.

I'm still waiting that Ping thanks Kenny for the media coverage he got for WTM by giving KR the YZ. My feelings are deeply hurt...

Take the fame/infamy and Ping hatred out of the equation.  Make the scenario personal and answer this honestly.  

YOU lend a bike to a buddy.    YOU do a bunch of work on it to prep it for your buddy.

Buddy leaves bike on the curb after he's finished with it and doesn't say thank you to you for loaning it to him and the work you put into it. 

What is your reaction?

You're a damn liar if you don't think that's f**ked.

When there’s a beef between two people, do you always hear only one side of the story and assume that’s the whole truth? Because I certainly don’t.

in my experience, when one party is particularly vocal about a situation, it’s because they’re trying to convince everyone that’s how it went down. When in all honesty what they’re saying only contains a fraction of truth they’re using in an attempt to justify their own actions.

why give money to a megacorp conglomerate that buys up brands, dilutes quality and substance through low-quality ingredients and spends inordinate amounts of money on marketing that appeals to the masses?

It’s called accountability not cancel culture.  It’s pretty simple, if you do or say stupid shit then you can and will get called out for it.  You can choose to learn from it or repeat the same mistakes and confirm what people have said about you.  

generally, you're right. however, it may not be applicable when one lives in clownworld where the "stupid shit" being shamed was common sense prior to the last 20 years of public school conditioning and consolidated media corps turning zoomers into useful idiots of the state apparatus. 

even moreso when the people doing the calling out lack the critical reasoning skills to explain their position at all, beyond parroting truisms and non-sequiturs. they dont know WHY they think it, just that it's the right thing to think based on what their feelings tell them. 

 

can we lock this thread now?

Honestly used to love Ping, Ask Ping was one of my favourite columns to read, thought his bike reviews were great (they still are if I’m honest) and was a fan of WTS at the beginning but the last few years it’s all gone down hill. If if the content is still a similar level it is tarnished by his arrogance and ego.

Ping did the same to me. I sent him a couple sets of my titanium seat brackets for a yz250 build under the condition that he make an Instagram mention about them. He agreed and I never heard a peep. Hypocrite.

Ken didn't "borrow" the bike, and Ping didn't "loan" the bike to anyone, he offered it for use to the Red Bull dude. The Red Bull guy got one of the most recognized Red Bull guys there is to ride it. Who needs to thank who in this ordeal?

Screw Ping. He was really cool when he came on Pulp but somewhere in there he really got soaked up in politics. And my opinion moto and politics shouldn’t cross paths, yeah have opinions but man he made it all about that. Then when he started his podcast he got mega arrogant talking about how popular (so he thought) his show was, he’s not impressed with KEN ROCZEN? What a dildo. 

 

What does "politics" have to do with the common courtesy of thanking someone for their help? If I would have done something like Ken did when I was a kid my old man would have beaten my fuckin' ass. 

Do they not teach that in Germany?

I am a fan of the 94 by the way, I am hoping he wins tonight in the mud!

Dude I agree. I really liked his content, his knowledge, and how he presented bike tests in a way the every day dude could understand it. And I thought the whisky throttle show was so good, still is. But he is not that guy any longer and it is more difficult to vibe with Ping and his content due to his positions outside of moto. Church and state need to remain separate if you will.  And as far as Kenny not thanking him, well, dude, that is not the reason you help someone or lend a hand. You do it because you want to, not because you want or need to be acknowledged for doing so. That is good deeds 101 man (see what I did there?). Come on!

What does "church and state" have to do with KR being an ungrateful prick?

Help me understand.

How long ago was straight rhythm Ping? Kenny been living rent free in his head for months. It's made him that angry that he had to made a video about it 6months later. Weather he thanked him or not this is pathetic 

"Kenny been living rent free in his head for months"

No, Kenny has been an ungrateful prick for months and has still yet to say thank you.

Note the difference.

He’s using “separation of church and state”  as a metaphor for his wish for ping to keep his own political views out of his podcasts/media platform. Hope that helps you understand.

Maybe Kenny didn't like Ping's comment.

So you think he had no idea where the bike came from? Lol. Come on man. So just ride a random bike without asking who built it, where it came from. Not at that level without asking, trusting, knowing. Just say thanks. Simple.

Imagine being one of these Vitards simping for Ken simply because they are under the assumption that Ken is too fucking stupid to actually understand what is going on.

Amazing time to be alive.

If you don't like the podcast, don't watch. Ping has his rights to the first amendment and his ability to say whatever he wants just like you do.

Better yet, start you own podcast.

Welcome to America, the land of the free!
