You just described Ping and what he did with Roczen.  So he gets a pass or what?

Ping was asked a question and answered it. There was no motive to ruin him professionally. He answered the question 6 months after the fact. 

If you consider what he wrote previously then I'd say he clearly did.  He wrote and implied that Kenny refused drug tests/was hiding something.

Why are some of you so hung up on the fact that Kenny may have originally declined to test.  You've never refused something and then realized it was more important after the fact and followed through? Did he actually hide anything/fail anything? (no)

Ping left out the part where Kenny eventually took the test though. Doesn't that seem like a very important piece of context to leave out when reporting what he did? 

That's what makes Ping a shit stick. 

 

Matthes even said he heard the same thing but heard Kenny eventually took it so he said there really wasn't anything to report so this why he never even brought it up as it wasn't important. Matthes only eventually spoke about it when the Ping thing blew up.

He only took the test after facing a 10 year ban if he didn’t. 18mos-2 year ban failing, 10 year ban for refusing to take it. Wouldn’t you take it as well?? 

Your either talking shit or making shit up with the 10 year ban. Positive or refused test is the same but NEVER 10 years

Yeah that's exactly what I said, right? Lame reach.

Nah. I hit the nail on the head---from MY perspective (e.g. my opinion). Can't wait to see your next novel retort.

I agree with you disagreeing with me 😂

I actually do think Matthes is narcissistic as well, just not on the same level as Ping. I also respect your opinion because you're not an asshole about it. 

Also my email notification shows your original post said something about my high level corporate position, which couldn't be further from the truth, I work for a living. Enjoy being retired man, continue to roam freely! 🍻

I watched Pings video on YouTube and scrolled the comments briefly. While reading the comments I came across  one from Jeff Alessi, he basically stuck up for ping and used the example of ping contacting his father to borrow a set of what he called "the best forks ever made" They were showa and probably only 8 sets are in existence.  Does anybody know what forks he was referring to?

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.

Ping. Dude. I didn’t blast you. You said it was going on a 21 and even though the build didn’t happen, I never brought it up. Just posted a relevant anecdote to the topic at hand. I do appreciate the hand written note, though. It’ll go on my memorabilia display. 
 

No hate whatsoever and I don’t mean this as an insult, but you need a bit thicker skin and/or maybe take a break from social media for a while. 

Letter came in damaged, which is why it’s torn and wrinkly.

So I may be mistaken but I believe Ping reported he initially refused it but then took it. But the title was worded to make it click bait. Kind of like how ML posted in the “Rumor Mill” Shimoda to Husky. Knowing good and damn well there is 0 fucking chance any one of the Japanese OEM’s allow the greatest rider to come out of that country sign with any Austrian team. Hell Suzuki would find the right amount of cash to sign him. 
BTW…he’s signed an LOI and it is with a Japanese OEM. 

While Jo may become the best ever from Japan, Akira Watanabe won the 1978 125cc World Championship.

Why do people keep giving him industry jobs? Keep his crazy ass rants on Twitter.

Did he mail you this? Like in an envelope with a stamp? That's pretty funny.

He and USPS are on a first-syllable basis.

In the past I watched all sorts of Ping content online and read his articles. I enjoyed it all and respected his opinion. Fast forward to today and I skip anything with his name attached. I would even switch brands if I found a manufacturer I use supporting him. That sentiment is 100% due to his political beliefs and how he derides anyone who thinks differently. 

Yeah it’s pretty hard to support let alone respect anyone with the racist, misogynist, anti-American, undemocratic, and fascist political views as Pingree yet all these corporations and companies do.

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. 

 

Exactly 99% of the people I ride with have diff political views than I do. They are my race buddies and I would do anything for them including lend them $ and parts to race and beat me.  As long as we don’t talk politics we’re fine.  Although most of them know whatever daily spin they try and bring up around me I can usually easily debunk or make them look pretty foolish by just using their own words or just simply explaining the FOL to them

Yes, I believe those boingers are buried in a money pit on Oak Island

The notes says "for not using these". Did he send the parts back? Letter was probably damaged because he sent he seat brackets back in the envelope and it got wrecked in the sorter, never to be seen again. He definitely doesn't like you (but I hate engineer types too) if he didn't even use a box for em.

It's possible he attempted to return them. I don't know. Don't particularly care either. I sent them to him free in exchange for a bit of free advertising/endorsement/whatever. Since the design did change on the new bike, it essentially killed the market for my brackets anyways. Win some, lose some.

Doubtful you could usps mail seat brackets in an envelope with a single stamp, even if they are titanium. Maybe he tried, Ping doesn't seem like the engineer type either.

It’s obvious that’s what happened. Either not the sharpest tool in the shed or deliberately just an asshole. Shit, probably both considering the note.
