In case I get clicked (again) for covid posts, Davey and Tim were 100% right to keep slowey out. We all love slowie but, people go to moto events to get wild, like vegas. Who wants a dude running around with a camera posting it?

Not trying to derail the thread but curiosity begs the question. What happen at Washougal 97?

For the record, GL,TRUMP, and myself(oldblood) were right about covid and feuchy was on the big pharma payroll. Glad I never let them jab my beautiful son with that shit.

Ah, the world renowned epidemiologist JayBasher - who's spent his life dedicated to developing an advanced education in science at elite universities - returns.

Well I went and listened to the Whiskey Throttle show and I wish I could get that hour of my life back. It’s quite ironic listening to them say guys like Lewis have never done it, so they sit around and take a tiny bit of truth and speculate meanwhile speculating on everything with Anderson, Lawrence family, Prado etc. Listening to them try to make sense of tariffs and trade deals made me realize these guys don’t read anything but headlines. Never again.

With all due respect, this sport is largely made up of people who’ve devoted their lives to racing — living in training camps, skipping formal education, and as a result, not always the sharpest tools in the shed. The media types circling the sport often come from the same world, so let’s not expect Pulitzer-level conversation.

You are absolutely spot on there. It's brutal when you hear some of the people involved in the sport discuss any topic outside it. Their lack of education, let alone general knowledge, is painfully inadequate. I think it's a big problem, but constantly apparent, that people who know very little, always think they know a lot due to the fact they simply don't know very much. The people who know the most, and are experts in any field, always are the ones that will admit to how little they know. They know how vast the knowledge base is. Unlike a turd like Ping, who I've seen wade in on a whole bunch of medical related topics, just because he has some kind of certificate in first responding from his fire fighter job. I would venture to say his knowledge of politics in any sophisticated sense is non-existence also. As for GL, all he knows is where to get the cheapest and strongest liquor. And even then his wet brain struggles to figure it out.

JayBasher is obviously one of the lowlifes that don't go to moto races to watch the race and the riders but just to get pissed and act like a twat.

I'm not reading 11 pages to find out, but it's a pretty safe assumption that Mathes hurled the first insults...as usual? Is he crying about it now too?

Too easy. 

Too easy should be referencing your intentions to drop a few comments and peace out. 

Do the later,  and peace out. For all of us, im begging you. This place already has enough morans.

You are making me miss magoofan. Atleast he was funny from time to time.

I don’t even get why Ping has stayed relevant this long after his racing career. He had a good career, but it wasn’t like GLs, which i could see people still talking about. GL as a rider was awesome, as a person it seems like he’s fighting some demons. 

I really enjoyed Ping's takes when he was on Pulp, early on with the race review podcasts, and his appearances on the main show.

I also really enjoyed the first year or so of the Whiskey Throttle show.

I stopped listening to the Whiskey Throttle show when GL left, and Ping started to get a little hotter with his takes progressively, until recently when he's gone full Cooksey (full retard).

I felt like Ping brought great value in his media roles, similar to JT. I think his inability to separate political views from business relationships has really screwed him.

yeah. it was sort of taken out of context. he was speaking from Prado's point of view, after riding his nuts off and having a desk jockey ask him why he's so slow. they didn't need to call him a fuck, but it certainly drove the point home. it wasn't a personal attack on Lewis IMO, other than 'hey if you didn't race, maybe show some grace to the riders' (their opinion, im not judging any journalists here)

He was never the fastest but stayed relevant by writing his columns for RacerX, doing some testing and reviews after racing and then being a regular on Pulp. Even had a short stint on Vital, so strange he has now gone off the deep end on many that helped him prolong his career in the industry after racing. Seemed to have a good thing going with Whiskey Throttle but I personally haven’t listened to to much of his stuff after his beef with Kenny and then his conspiracy theories. When I check his “library” I don’t really see the content that made his pods a must listen as his long form interviews, but maybe he just ran out of willing guests or is trying to go in a different direction 🤷‍♂️

Oh yeah remember the dumpster fire that was Ping on Vital.

Another masterstroke by GuyB, that guy couldn't read a room if his life depended on it

I never really read Ping's columns or anything, what happened there? I generally listen to podcasts, not read articles, so missed that.

I haven’t heard much about Grant Langston since he stepped away from commentating. I don’t really follow MX podcasts these days, so I’m out of the loop.

Some of the posts earlier in this thread don’t paint a great picture, and there seems to be an implied suggestion that he’s struggled with alcohol or substance abuse. Is that something people have actually heard on podcasts or interviews, or is it more just speculation that’s been repeated over time?

It seems to be pretty well accepted GL has an alcohol problem. He even admitted during one of Swap's deep throat sessions that he was always pissed while commentating.

So the dude has genuine alcoholism and you think its cool to mock him for it? Lets pray the dude gets help and keep the comments about moto.

Here we are yet again having someone jump in here and post there little micro penis opinion's and leave a negative review all because GL and Ping have a friendship and keep it real…


I’ll tell you one thing that’s for sure. I don’t really like the way the school system has been bringing you guys up, some of you run around all Helen Keller.


”could you pass me the cheese I’m gonna sprinkle some on my dumbass?” Oh does no good cause you can’t see or hear. But then again I’m the dumbass.

If you guys have any old Racer X magazines (2000-2006ish), go read Pings stuff. It’ll bum you out. He used to be so freaking funny. It’s sad where he’s gone to.

I'm calling out GL's shit behaviour. Just because he's pissed it doesn't excuse it. I also hope he gets help, but he needs to want to do it.

Langston could be suffering from a degree of “ Wetbrain” aka “Wernicke's Encephalopathy (WE) Symptoms”.Alcohol abusers can suffer from it.

If he is he really can’t help what he’s coming out with and it would actually be a very sad state of affairs .

I’m a pessimist at the best of times so I’d rather not opine on what’s going on with the rest of the moto “media” - deliberately in inverted commas because as a whole  it isn’t a legitimate media body.

Please post quotes from Lewis where he fired shots (first, second or third) at Ping or GL

You aren't wrong. You cant make someone get help. They have to want to change. You're also not wrong to call out bad behavior and the same goes for everyone in this thread. Some of your posts as far as his alcoholism are a little tone deaf, though. I admittedly have a soft spot for people with addiction issues being one myself. I cant argue Grant brings a lot of this on himself

🤣🤣🤣. I disagree 100%.

I said it was ridiculous because unless you are employed there and personally know what everyone does you're not qualified to state that opinion. He may or may not be there daily but the strategic vision of an organization is just as important as the day to day. 

The most ridiculous thing is me participating in this drama.

His wildest and most insane take at the time was that he wouldn’t read the book, The DaVinci Code, because he was afraid he would go to hell over it (he’s not Catholic). Compare that to the stuff he’s saying now and it’s laughable how tame and harmless it was.
