Wasn't it Reed who dislocated his shoulder "playing pool" ?

RC was never on any type of PED, it’s completely normal to have acne and anger issues in your late 20’s and him retiring the year before they started testing is just a coincidence

I played baseball in the early 2000s era. I have been around PEDS my entire life. Many good friends took all kinds of stuff. RC was 100% on PEDS, anyone who has been around them can’t argue that.

A very large(likely 99%) of athletes at the top of their chosen sport are taking things that they shouldn't be. With the amount of money to be made, why wouldn't you?

How about the current factory rider who likes to skip off-season races so that he can cycle a round without getting tested?

That some riders "fake" injuries or exagerrate the outcome of actual injuries to not race/get out of contracts/race series..?

MC/KTM ?

RV/MXGP ?

CW2/KTM ?

Chase/KTM ?

We need more of this and less tariff expert analysis.

....that this sport (as a professional) is probably a LOT less glamorous than we think it is. I am sure the money is nice for the top guys, but for the other 90%...I bet this is a pretty tough way to make a living and MOST of them end up back in the job force at some point.

I don't think that was a rumour in any way , shape or form.

A good result at Loretta's will get you a factory ride.

Kawasaki only cared about the substance in Davi's locker because they weren't happy with his results.

How dare you talk about Plano Honda in this manner



Pingree would strongly disagree with you

The AMA/FELD are low key nervous for the sport to get bigger. Yes they want to make more money but if any potential investors interested in getting involved actually looked into the flagging situation, they’d run for the hills 🙃

As a former die hard Davi fan when I was a kid, I fully subscribed to this when it all went down 😂

Reynards '98 Unadilla 125 wasn't a big bore. 
We were at a dealership earlier this year and I said, man, I've wanted to ask you this forever. 
He said his dad built the engine that summer. It was a ripper! 
I'm like, you wheelied by RC in 4th gear down a straight. 
Do yourself a favor and watch that first 125 moto. RR put a whoopin' on the field.

I agree, I would take stuff and I think they all do. People are delusional if they don’t.

Out of curiosity, what is this obsession with a gay Suzuki rider? This has been a common topic over the last few months and longer. Maybe this will paint me in a bad light, but I don’t give two shits what someone puts in their own (insert orifice here), so long as they don’t try and shove their beliefs down mine. There should be some type of respect for each other that things not pertaining to motocross are off limits; just on a human to human level. 

 

All I can tell you is this rumor goes back AT LEAST 25 years. My neighbor and his buddies would joke about it on the desert riding trips we all took together. I was 15 years old and thought it was the funniest shit at the time.

When I bring it up now it's just me carrying it on as a nostalgic nod. I've heard/seen it mentioned over and over randomly at races, at the track, etc. countless times over the years. I don't know (or care) if it's based on anything real. If real, it would have been an 80s or 90s guy.

Edit: Hell, for all I know the rumor started 40+ years ago. Who knows! Just one of those things that kept going.

There’s 9 whoops and no dragons backs so the euro’s can transition to race over here and not get injured as easily, and so they have a better chance of immediately battling for a title.

4 stroke aftermarket exhausts actually make a power difference.
