How many moto insiders have been ran out of vital?

Imagine if Haiden made an appearance. 

Who cares? They’re not going to post anything’breaking’ that they wouldn’t first post on their platforms. Anything worthwhile they have to say will be posted there first. 

In which case they’re just Moto-dudes the same as me & you. 

"Ran out", or simply lost interest due to constant nonsense?

We also have to remember that ‘Moto-chat’ is their work. 

When they aren’t having to work, they likely want some time away from it. 

Surfing this site for most of us is leisure. Probably not for those guys.

There's a multitude of reasons...most notably...

Entitlement.

There are way too many people in here that feel entitled to know things regardless of "embargoes" or information not being made available due to contractual obligations. 

No worries. It is what it is. 

Then there's times where something's posted that's just flat out false...or just wrong. Like recently when I said something along the lines of,"I think it's safe to say that a few of those guys have signed their contracts."...immediately...someone throws some "say who" shade or gives me their angst about NOT saying exactly who...again, no worries. See my "entitlement" explanation. All the while, some of the riders discussed were already signed and riding their 2026 bikes. 

Here's how it plays out. Somebody in the media "reaches" with their reporting or stories. It's an educated or, if you will, well guessed "reach"...but, sometimes it's just wrong. How's that? Well, some of those named had already signed...as I'd said; yet, due to the language of their soon to expire current contracts...they can't say anything until a certain date and I'm gonna honor that, too.

Again...it's all good...but...it's at the heart of most industry folks saying,"Why bother."

Depends what the end game is…if they have something to gain from this platform, they will partake

Rich Taylor and Mirtl showed up to defend themselves!

What do industry insiders gain by coming here to get shit on? If they want to make a statement or promote something they will go on a podcast or line up an interview.

DV is retired and doesn't seem like he has a giant ego, so he's a fan just like us losers.  I appreciate his insights though, please come back more often.

…probably because this forum has become toxic…

RV2 has mentioned Vital on the Title 24 Podcast a few times. Must be a lurker.

Or——-how many industry insiders post on Vital under pseudonyms and, maybe even actually stir the pot….?

Wait, Mirtl jumped into the lawsuit thread to defend himself? How the hell did I miss that? 

He didn't. Screenshots of his Instagram stories were posted. 

Ask me for some AX inside info.  I’ll post. 😂

Someone created an account that day and said a bunch of stupid stuff defending Mirtl's actions and threatening to sue people on the forum.

I assumed it was Mirtl because no trolls have that level of desiccation.

*The result of that thread was a new game of using incorrect words or phrases once Mirtl is mentioned.

What arena are the Calgary rounds at ?

Rider with the hottest chick?

The guy who was drinking in New Orleans with his lawyer brother. Now I remember that kook.

I'm still around...

What about that terry varner guy. 

Calgary Stampede Park - Nutrien Western Event Centre

Hey , aren’t all Arenacrosses insiders 🤣

Not nearly as many insiders have left as OGs that were actual contributors that were clicked for "wrong speak" by the previous administration.

Lewis and ML are paid to be here. They don't count

I miss Larryb and Ping

28….?

Tommy Benolkin was one rider vitardos ran off.

One Tardo was telling Forkners dad he was an idiot about mud starts ..true story.

Jeff Alessi . . .trolled incessantly.  I knew Jeff , he was a good kid.

Chad Reed has had a bit of fun in here.

Stew used to troll.....

On another note Don M has taken a shit ton of abuse for being confused with swap. . . Lol.

All this just off top of my head...if I actually made a list, it's a lot more. . .

In the old days we poked fun, but we're not just hateful. . .

At least I wasn't...lol

Ping wasn’t ran off he just went cra cra
