I can’t believe I never even thought of that but Mookie on Kawasaki would be the coolest match up of this silly season if that happened.

Mathes said on pulp that they had pushed for Malcom before but he went with Husky cause he could stay out in Florida. Said maybe Lawi is more flexible now. Freight to the Stewart’s compound from CA has probably quadrupled since 02-08 when James rode for them.

Seeing STEWART across the back of a factory Kawi Jersey will be so nostalgic.

They were in on him before they signed Anderson. Anderson was also talking to Star at the time before they signed Eli.

I’m going to be honest, I have heard multiple people say he’s on PEDs but one of them is someone who has personal beef with him and Brian, so they might be exaggerating.

I'll say this as a statement of opinion only, with absolutely nothing to back it up...Brian Deegan is a world class idiot if he's knowingly letting his son take PED's, knowing that the way he carries himself might open him up to being tested as a result of a malicious "tip" by someone like your guy who has a beef with him. His career would be shot...and I doubt Daddy Deegan would want that.

Rumor was RV was on HGH back in his 250 days when he was training with Randy Lawrence. Dunno if there was ever any truth to that.

There’s a drug ring inside of MX Sports.

I really think (if) Sexton leaving KTM for Kawi, that is a BIG mistake… he looks really comfortable with the bike now.

Yes hear the same great pick up for them,

JCoop Webb Star Yam

Sexton Prado Kawi

Barcia Ducati

Ken Suzuki

AP Vialle KTM

I’m speculating but by Barcia’s latest interviews, it sounds like he’s out of the Austrian umbrella after this year. He’s always been tight with TLD even when he was on Yamaha so I feel like he’s gotta be a lock at Ducati.
