That “redneck” shtick is marketing. Bob was to the manor born, (his childhood home ^)his father owned a Ford dealership, he grew up upper middle class, hardly redneck material. But hey, you can fool some of the people some of the time…

Fair enough.

Can you give us what the proper definition of a redneck is please?

I'm sure someone from LA is probably an expert on the subject right?

Originally, the term redneck was used to refer to labor rights activists in the 1900s. They typically wore red bandannas and were referred to as rednecks. More recently, it was used to refer to poor and working class whites from the south, but I would argue that there are rednecks all over the country. As far as my own Redneck roots, I was raised in Detroit, by two working class parents who never graduated high school, ( my Dad was raised in rural Arkansas, moved to Detroit for economic opportunity) but who through hard work and wits (and 2 union jobs) raised 7 kids. I’m a proud Redneck, and know a wannabe opportunist poser when I see one. Check out Bob’s early rap career…

So you think you grew up in Detroit and are a redneck?

Rednecks don't live in cities boss, what you are is more likely white trash.

For those of you bashing the tailors as sue happy people because they're suing a motocross track ask yourself this who in the right minds builds a berm with a steep 2 story backside and then has races on it. That's just irresponsible. Please excuse the punctuation I'm using voice to detect

 

Reprehensible the way Taylor's son was forced to ride the track and had no choice in the matter.

Someone reads wiki &/or watches an expose and now they know who Bobby is...?

Got it.

The dude did just fine as a Hip-Hop come Rock-n-Roll performer and now has one of THE venues in Nashville...and we're talking shit on him? OK. Cool. Got it.

Some of the things I know about the dude...

He rides.

He puts his money where his mouth is.

He's embraced the life in Nashville.

His compound is beyond compare.

He's done something that's pretty fucking impressive with his life.

He's VERY involved in his local community, his church and his "beliefs".

He fucking OWNS his catalogue. NICE!

He's just a good dude.

I'm jus' sayin'...

I met him back in the 90"s when he would come to Royal Oak (artsy, music town) and I would see him at walk on music nights. He was one very driven person and would give you anything.

This is an insult to all the rednecks that work hard to pay their HOA dues every month.

I heard that  Kid Rock claimed it  before anybody got photos. And he  and the Deegan's  got the AMA to make it all go away for a couple cases of bud light.   Look for all the details in an up coming Cooksey video!

I’d like to apologize to the OP. I had no idea that dropping a few facts that upset some Kid Rock fanboys “gangster” fantasies would turn this into a “Simpin’ For Bobby” thread. Won’t happen again.

Gangster? I am a gangster too. 
 

Cause I'm a gangster a gangster of love
I'm a gangster a gangster of love
Now look here when I go into a bar
Girls from near and far say I'm a gangster
A gangster of love
I jumped in my white horse Cadillac
I rode across the border line
I roped 55 girls
I kissed them all the same time

This is one of the strangest topics I’ve ever clicked on. Went from the lawsuit to pages of Kid Rock. I bet Rich  is absolutely loving Kid Rock right about now

As a snot nosed 80 rider, Rick and Dean Matson were my heroes. In Scotts Valley at a run down quarry, I watched them drop off  cliffs and wheel tap drain pipes on the way down. There were no lawyers

Been there.

Done that.

We probably know each-other.

Hope life is awesome for you.

I've never known what EKS stood for but for some reason while reading through all this I got "Expensive Kids" stuck in my brain and now I can't get rid of it. Like something you can't unsee.  EKS- Expensive Kids ? Laughing

My two cents....... I've known Rich for many years and he is a stand up human. Having been in this sport on many levels there is no get out of jail card for a track that has not taken care to provide a safe race track. Motocross tracks and track owners vary so much. It's like the Wild West. There has to be responsibility and accountability. Personally I look at accidents and rate them as to how preventable they are. In this case the accident was 100% preventable. I applaud Rich for making the difficult decision to do the right thing which ultimately will make our beloved sport better.

We're just hoping EKS has the same fate as Rocket Exhaust.

I burnt my leg on a Rocket Exhaust header back in grade seven, the owner was negligent when selling the header without a heat shield.

So every time someone gets hurt ....Just sue because it will make the sport safer and better...

I think you've lost your mind ....and you and the Taylor's and Ryan's can stay away from my track.

The industry is working overtime to make us believe what he did was OK.

No, it will run our beloved sport out of existence. Don’t think the track is safe, don’t ride. Personal responsibility…what a novel concept.

Can you imagine knowing about a section of the track you didn’t agree, then let your kid on the track anyways because it must have not been that bad,then your kid gets hurt because he overran the berm coming in to hot. Kid gets hurt  and it’s the tracks fault and the. You sue for medical bills and almost getting the best track in so cal shut down. What he should have done was raise a stink about it, if nothing happened then you pack up your shit and go home and not let your kid ride it. But he did anyways knowning about the berm. It’s no one fault but rich and his kid….plain and simple,you take responsibility for your own actions and if he was indeed a minor it’s 100% your fault.

I feel bad for the kid, but he whiskey throttled and lost control of his motorcycle. The track went left, he did not, and an already wealthy man got paid

100%, sure, if the rider didn't whiskey and launch himself off the track. There is nothing a track can do to 100% prevent injuries when typical racing incidents happen, let alone when off track launches happen.

So by your logic I should have sued Perris when I got hurt because had the flagger not run down to help the guy who crashed on the back table and stayed where he was to wave the flag like he was supposed to, I ultimately wouldn’t have launched into his downed bike. 100% preventable.  Guess what I had multiple lawyers wanting to do just that, and I told them all to fuck off, which coincidentally is the same feeling I have about anyone who thinks suing a track is the right thing to do. Boy did I blow it I could be retired right now. Aren’t I a fool.  
 If he was concerned about safety wouldn’t we have heard all about this way back when it happened ?  Get hurt racing ? Sue the track. Great advice.wish I would’ve taken it.  I’d be rich and all the industry  people would think I’m great for doing the right thing. 
 

 

Or not
