Vital used to be the platform they everyone used to share “breaking” info. As more and more options became available  popular over time, YouTube, instagram, and podcasts, “insiders” turned to releasing info on their own platform and ultimately sharing less and less here. Never mind all the folks here that say shit that they would never ever say to an Insiders face.

Believe it or not but everyone of us industry people are diehard fans too but we get attached by the public. Jealous maybe?

EIDave was banned for no reason after he sold Engine Ice and Michael will not telling him why.

After I sell Moto Hose or close the doors and retire I will still be going to races and coming here and posting

A lot of industry people browse the forum, it’s a good way to see where fans heads are at.


I can’t get away from this place even though it frustrates the absolute shit outta me at times.

Here is a message from EIDave.

“I do not know why I was banned, still do not, much less a permanent ban. I was not emailed why, no explanation, no warning, no time out, nothing. I know something was claimed I said, (wanting someone to die or something) but I have no idea what is being referenced or in what context it was said, because again, no one told me, asked me, warned me or emailed. Without going into detail, I was going through a very difficult time with the death of my Father due to Covid. I may have said some regretful things because I was a very angry man at that time. I have apologized many times. If I hurt some feelings, I do apologize. All the while, no one cared too much about my feelings at the time and I lashed out over it. That was wrong on my part. 

I was only here today to find out what happened to Roczen in race one and if he got hurt. I do not lurk, I do not have a fake name. I check in on race days for race times and what’s going on, otherwise I have moved on. I’m retired and moto is not the priority in my life. I wish you all well, but my ban was fucked up and wrong. Not even a warning?"

There he goes playing the innocent victim just like he always has. He knows exactly why he was banned; he wished a member (maybe Manny?) would die of COVID, because that member wasn't fully bought into the hysteria like Dave was.

That's probably what it was, I just remember he hoped people who disagreed with him would die.

How about the real reason he got banned ...

Called us all Nazis in a total meltdown.    

He had MANY warnings, and still persisted.

His pain pill addiction contributed to his mood swings.

Lumpy is friends with Dave, I can appreciate sticking up for friends..... But when behavior is extreme and outrageous and shocks the conscience, he had to go .... 

He is no better than the rest of us, if I said what he did, Id expect a ban too.

And most of us were just tired of his shit, he knows what he did..

And now he is playing victim once again....
