Hi guys. Mike here.  Here's the latest update from Scotti. Not too good.  If we could all help out a vet you serve this country and is now injured it would be a good thing.. and just to let everyone know I've been a vital member for over 10 years I just can't remember my old login information. Anyone in the Oklahoma Motocross community knows who I am and will attest to the fact that I will help out any Rider that's down on his luck. I've been in this industry for over 50 years and that's the greatest industry there is. Thanks everyone.   :Not good news at the doctors yesterday. Seems like everything calcified in my wrist. I'll only have 10% movement side to side and up and down. On the other hand, he's talking about rebreaking my wrist opening it up cleaning it out and taking a piece of bone from my hip area and reconstructing a bone in my wrist ,don't know what to do.  This blows

Respectfully, if Mike wants to come on here to help a fellow rider/friend and vital is allowing it, who are you to judge the situation. If you don't want to help, dont help. If you don't want to see this thread, don't read it. Sometimes its just not necessary to leave a comment on something. Have a good day.

you could also just not be an asshole.

attitudes like yours make it an embarrassment to be part of the moto community.

Speak for yourself, asshole.

Who appointed you The Voice for the "moto community" anyway? Yeah, you have the "popular" opinion, so what? Everybody else is an asshole and wrong? Nope, not gonna do. 

Living like hell, pretending to be an angel online. 

So 2025.

Read, this entire post...it went from "getting it out there to help a friend" to full on begging strangers for money pretty quickly. 

The constant bumping posts repeating the same thing...he's a moto loving funny guy who joined the Army out of high school and now is in a hard way is pretty clear in the first FEW Posts. It reads like OP is getting a slice for "doing all this." He's selling the damn thing.

How much more money you need now. You already asked for an increase once.

Hey guys just a little update I want to thank everyone for the donations. Scotti was able to secure employment at a local dealership as a salesman where he can do the job with one arm. Can't thank everyone enough. We're almost at the 1600 goal let's try to get there and help him out until he gets his first check thanks everyone again. It's great how to MX community comes together especially for a vet who served our country thanks again.

Donated $150. I left it $25 for the next person to be the one to reach the goal (Even though he likely needs much more)


I have never met him or knew anything about him till I saw this thread. 

**Imagine if it was you in that hospital bed. I think we would all dislike this thread being about asking for money/help for us. But we would all greatly appreciate the support from the moto community. We should all stick together and support each other.

Can't thank you enough.  Yes it's rough. The poor guy came here for his job from New Jersey. Started racing again with us and met all of us. Been out of nowhere the end of April as his wife raced for us too she raced Motocross the day after the state race at gas MX the next morning she walked out with two suitcases and he found out that she was cheating. And I'll be honest I was around them all the time and there was no inclination of any of that. Then 2 weeks after he had an accident at another round of the state series and how to get three surgeries so far... His wife took his truck since it was in her name and she had better credit he can't work and he stuck with everything and it's really heartbreaking.  Especially someone who loves Motocross as much as he does and he doesn't have any family to speak of he just has us the MX community. Is there any help we can give him especially someone who served our country for almost 4 years would be greatly appreciated thanks again

Talked to Scotti. Wanted you to know how grateful he is for what you did.  Figured I'd pass this along.   Let's get it to the actual goal ,we're $325 away if you can share that would be great thanks
