I have been having fun doing these for the silly season thread, but I got the random urge to see what parallel universes would look like if riders went to different teams. If you have any requests, please let me know.

I enjoy the effort. I expect to see a few on these on "dirtbikelover" or similar in no time for clickbait. Grinning

For bonus points, find the rider + bike pose and photoshop in the rider's face/head as well!

Seeing MC on the ‘97 CR250 feels like one of these pictures, but I think they’re from Paris that year before he left Honda.

There’s also a few clips in Steel Roots(?) riding the 97 in Mexico in the sand. Never looked right to me lol,

I meant in 2022. He almost came back for HRC instead of KTM.

More like weeks before he left Honda.

Rare sight for sure.

You know...there was a conversation about this one. It didn't happen, but there was an impromptu meeting at Fox Raceway 2 in 2021...

Again, was in the cards with Husky. Would've been interesting.

I can’t imagine what Honda Japan would have thought about his podium interviews 😂

Didn't KTM negotiate with Eli back in 2014/15 when Kenny left? I think Eli working with DeCoster could work very well... Don't think it will happen now during Eli last years of Pro Career.

Yeah, I guess I worded that weird and meant he rode it the same year at Paris that he left Honda. Doesn’t even look like him on the bike to me, but I always ponder what would the perception be of the 1st gen AF Honda’s if MC stayed and was able to put together a great SX season on it. I just scrolled past that exact picture on IG a few days ago.

On an unrelated note, it's kinda fun to see in that Bercy main event Craig and Vialle ending together on the ground. Mike and Fred, that is.

Old times for sure.
