Some are calling it the weave!
Sorry it covers a few things & it is a bit of a rambling. Fatigued bad super busy no break from it in 20min I hv a insurance agent call to setup a new plan. Hopefully Mike keeps the team going. Look at the history the 1st privateer team TUF. Is close in iL. , 1st motorcycle built in America is close by. 1st steam engine built Milwaukee. 1st auto race in the world Steam engines in Wi. DGY team in IL. Close by. A ton of riders rode for these teams Lamson, Henry, Button, etc. I like the history of it all and I can’t think of a better state that should hv a Mx race team. Trust me I be been in every city , the women r naturally beautiful & cool. Oprah has a 2 houses here lake Geneva & rice lake area. Robert Plant in the early 90,s had a place there too. I shot pool with him I thought it was funny at the time. My chics daughter was on my back telling me what ball to hit. She,d say hit the 4 ball I say no honey that’s Robert,s ball. I get Lucky & sink 1. Robert says Nice shot Babe. Haha . He’s cool no body bothered him.

If you just read his posts (which really isn’t that difficult at all) you will find a lot of knowledge being shared…yes at times a little all over the place..
For the post above, maybe your too young to remember DGY…so I get it might not make sense..
A lot of knowledge… most of which is completely irrelevant to the topics being discussed 😂
You’re not wrong 😂
I find it interesting as I have a buddy (also a trucker) who is the same..incredible knowledge/life experience but all over the place..must be a trucker thing.
What foreign rider came over and rode a Yamaha this year?
That could lead to some clues on who stiffed him on a parts bill it sounds like.
Translation courtesy of ChatGPT:
“It seems like this person is sharing a series of personal anecdotes about their experience in the trucking and logistics industry, but the post is written in a somewhat disjointed way, which makes it hard to follow. Here’s an attempt at a summary of the main points:
1. American Business Practices: The person is talking about how American business often relies on contracting out work. This can include various aspects, from moving goods (trucking) to construction projects (like roofing and pipeline work).
2. Pipeline Projects and Labor Issues: They mention a large pipeline company in Wisconsin with multiple divisions that had to pay off “organized crime” to end significant strikes, enabling the completion of major projects. This individual helped facilitate these payments and formed a “business friendship” with those involved, especially with a trucking company in Chicago.
3. Trucking Contracts and Rates: The writer discusses negotiating trucking rates and avoiding certain jobs that didn’t pay enough. They explain their preference for high-paying routes (e.g., Wisconsin to Ohio at $8 per mile) and how they adjusted their strategy for higher profits, especially when rates started to decline in early 2021.
4. Walk-Away Lease Contract: They had a costly lease with fixed payments, which they ultimately abandoned when fuel prices spiked and overall expenses became unsustainable.
5. Wisconsin Business and Manufacturing: They note that many trucking loads in Wisconsin are profitable due to the state’s various industries, including dairy, paper, manufacturing, fire trucks, and even defense-related goods like steel for bombs.
6. Personal Reflections on Wisconsin: The writer shares personal memories of traveling to Wisconsin to buy a bike, enjoying the lakes, women, and local vibe. They also mention a tanker company they worked for that had a terminal in Wisconsin (Lake Geneva) and another in Pennsylvania (near Hershey).
The main idea seems to be the complexities and financial challenges in the trucking industry, especially around contracts, expenses, and profitability, with some personal memories mixed in. The language and phrasing make it hard to read, but this seems to capture the general themes.”
Do you like listening to podcasts with shitty audio? What if they share a lot of knowledge?
Also, knowledge requires knowing, and if the receiver of information doesn't know what is being communicated, it's not knowledge.
It's raw data.
Who is forcing you to read this forum?
There are definitely two sides to this story, and the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Someone who left the team mid-season paints a completely different picture of who actually got shafted in this ordeal. Getting used bikes when promised new bikes. Getting billed for parts and services that were supposed to be included with the paid ride. Obviously I haven't seen the actual contract, but I would bet there's some clever and misleading wordage in the contact that has lead to a misunderstanding where all parties feel they are right.
you seem to have more insight then you are letting on...
Until somebody comes out with something concrete that proves that side of the story....I'm gonna tend to side with the guy who owns/runs a successful Yamaha dealership and has been involved in the industry for decades over some random rider that is here today and gone tomorrow.
One has a lot more to lose than the other.
After listening to the podcast, I looked into the team to figure out who it might be and where they are from...Looked at RacerX for each rider to see who actually rode SX and MX and their results...Then took a look at their social media to see what info they were posting...Then started watching this post to see the location of who would be defending them (Georgia)...Put it all together and some potential "alleged" defendants start to emerge with even two being removed from the team listing.

All that detective work and you can't even give us the names?
I can, but I won't. It's a court case and I don't want to throw out names. Besides, "all that detective work" was just a search on the team and opening a few links.
I’m no detective but A-Rod and Jace Owen are two names missing from start to finish.
Dunno if that implies anything, and I don’t have social media

So have you actually found public records of a case existing or do you just believe you have narrowed down a potential list?
Can I sign up for a notification when you fellas find out who the scoundrels are?
Its a fair walk out to the barn to retrieve my 4 prong pitchfork and I could use fair warning 😀
I wonder if they’re not on all lists because they were Arenacross only. The Racer X link has a past riders list, I think one rider there was involved in another law suit. I noticed Breece isn’t on all the lists too (not saying he’s one of them in the law suit, just noticed he’s not on all the lists)
I did not look up court cases. I just did a search as to who was on the team and how many races they were in versus the scheduled races. I've spent less time researching this than I spent trying to comprehend profeshenal's postings (which I kinda like to do for some reason!?!). Shoot, I just spent an hour trying to figure out if I know who Lungbutter really is which is longer than I spent on the Rock River news! I'm wasting too much time while in-between jobs with my wife out of town!
He keeps us entertained!
Did you research the Mudflap app?
Thought about it...then realized I had not looked at Gas Buddy for a long time so I didn't want to waste any more time after looking up Rock River team news!
Sounds gay.
Bump. Do we know the riders or companies yet?
I use the mudflap app for fuel . It does a fuel search of the area your in depending on the area . There might b countless places. I try to hit The TA or Petro to build fuel points & hv shower credits. I hit Kwik Trips in Wi. Because they hv a huge selection of food including fresh meat, cheap gal of water too. Pilot & Flying J are not a part of the app. Most trucking co.s use the app. I saved upto .91 a gallon . Sign up is easy no pre credit check or advanced of your money need to be installed . Just your credit card. Not sure if it’s true but I heard Mike is done with the racing. IMO court garbage is too draining.
It's like the opposite of artificial intelligence, organic stupidity.
Never change Mx…. We are the trailer park of motor sports…
