Kawasaki & Anderson

Anderson doing Anderson things…

As a guy who bleeds green, I am partial to Kawasaki riders. I'm a fan of many riders not on Kawasaki for the past several years in the 450 class, as its been very disappointing for years now. 

I've tried to root for Ando on a consistent basis but had to give that up pretty much 2 seasons ago. I would see his side when he had the big issues with Barcia. Tried to see his side when he had issues with the Lawrence bros. But I've given up on Ando and Kawasakis effort (Lack of effort!!) in the 450 class.

C'mon Kawasaki. It's time to give fans something to root for in the 450 class. (no disrespect to Prado, I hope he can heal up and give us something for outdoors).

Jason is entertaining to watch, and elite level. He may not have met the expectations that some of you have for him in terms of accomplishments, but I'm glad he's out there, and glad Kawasaki is supporting him.  He shows brilliance at times, anger at times, and perseverance always.  That makes him ok in my book.

(there may be only three of us that use ipads to post here, but not fixing this bounce sw bug/problem is criminal)

Tremendously talented rider with a long history of riding like an idiot. A tiger doesn't change his stripes. 

No surprise he and Bamster got into a dickslap contest.  

At this point who would/could Kawasaki hire that’s better?

Anderson must have a traume childhood or very low IQ.

Retaliate to the jugular when someone pass him even if is not competitive, like last week or two weeks ago vs sexton. Get pass, retaliate super aggressively in the next turn, then fade away and being passed my 10 people until the end of the race.

It did this yesterday in the first race; manage to kill barcia and himself in the 2nd race because of his ego or low IQ, and finally was able to ride in  the last race. 

I acknowledge there aren't many riders to go after currently. I know with all of Adam C's health issues, they knew they were going to have to move on. He decided to retire a year ago. I just wish knowing that back then, maybe 2 years ago they make a push and strong offer to Chase who was leaving Honda. Or Roczen even, if he would've signed to do the outdoors along with Ando. Both riders were changing teams. Both are arguably more popular. Chase definitely is better, and Roczen is typically better in SX and arguably even better outdoors when he did race MX consistently in the more recent past. 

Sad to say but even with all of the guys who've been in the 250s for years, no one comes to mind to replace him.

Bunch of pussies in this thread. 

Ah the monster truck fan has arrived 

No offense to AC but it seems like they put all their eggs in that basket for a little too long and why we have such a performance gap.  You have to give to the green guys they seem to stand behind their riders when things get rough.   To find another RV or Tomac isn’t easy.

Yeah, because it’s so cool to take yourself and another rider out… 

Isn’t Prado the future for Kawasaki? 

Was a huge Anderson fan, but lately I’m sick of the way he races. His riding is incredible, but he just fades and slams people on his way back. It’s f_cking lame. Done it so much the last two years. Can’t stand the guy now. If he was moving forward - sure I get it. 

7 races into the SX season and Jason has been on the podium 3 times... 2 of those podiums came while the entire field was still uninjured. I personally would not discount his (or Kawi's) race effort when he's finishing on the box half the time.

Don't know about Kawi..... but I enjoyed the spicy bruhaha....

I’ve been a JA fan for most of his career.  But his rides are so unpredictable these days that it’s hard to cheer for him like I used to.  

The dust up with Barcia was absurd.  Dropping down the order, you’re like wtf Ando???  Then he goes all in on race 3 and actually keeps KR from winning the overall by passing him in the final laps…

I mean, seriously WTF???

Isnt his contract up this year ?? 

Yes. 

thanks Maverick.

He will be on Audi next year

I thought Deegan is the future of kawasaki?

I like JA21. Watching him get a good start just to slowly get passed all race makes my loins tingle. 

It's easy to say now but this could have been a very good year for him. Sadly, since 2022 (I think that's when he won a few early on) he seems content with just whatever happens on track. Which is a shame. 

Yup, Kawi must be heatbroken to be 4th in points.

Anderson is my favorite rider 

Added great entertainment to an already great night.  JA's move on chasing Coop down in qualifying was dumb, but it was fun to watch....and the battle with Barcia was great too from a fans perspective.  

Jason “THE SLAMMER” Anderson. 

Don’t know if he’s gonna slam your front wheel to take you out or slam his way to the front for a podium. I don’t think he even knows. 

Watching him and Barcia play bumper cars was awesome. Couldn’t have 2 better guys going at it. 

Real fans want real racing, not that crap…
