At this point, I want to see him on Star so we can officially cross off all of the viable factory teams and he can tell us the Star bike sucks too 😝
When did Mike Williamson leave as kawi team mgr?
Seems to me that Chase struggles to setup any bike he is on, regardless of brand, although clearly sometimes he does get it right.
I do NOT think it's the bike, every bike needs to be setup for the track as no track or conditions are the same (clearly) each race
Am I the only one that thinks the ghost riding thing is not that big of a deal?
I mean over the years we’ve seen, or heard of, many riders doing things like this when losing their temper. Kicking bikes over, breaking shit,…..there’s any number of similar examples.
Is it an incident that the team needs to address? Of course. Is it worthy of ten pages of outrage? That seems a little over dramatic to me.

Is there any video on this or interviews?
If I'm not mistaken then where his Honda 250 set-ups mostly copy - pasted from Hunter...
It's about respecting the guys on your team. You can go out back and throw your helmet if you have to. But never throw the bike.
Ghost ride the bike into the team pit area?
You’re fired.
I consider the ghost ride on another level compared to those things because the anger feels much more concentrated on the team, and it shows a disregard of concern for wellbeing of the bike and team considering the damage it could've done.
Imo the other stuff you listed is typically pure anger and frustration, the ghost ride has an element of malice to it
I like Chase but they should fire his ass and at this point what team would want him . He will talk shit on the bike . Star wold be bad for him bcause HD is kicking ass on it
I would like a more detailed account. Did the bike go 3’ and tip over or 30’ and bounce off the rig, toolboxes, or whatever?
I am not a fan of ghost riding at all, but there are variations worth considering. A very serious warning to looking for any way to fire his ass without giving him a penny.
Honestly I’d already be looking at the latter, but that’s just me.
The Tomac's had him sacked maybe a year or 2 before ET left Kawasaki
Was in 2023 that Chase and Tomac had a good duel in the outdoor series?
Then the following year Jett came up. He and Chase both on factory Hondas.
I think Jett beat Chase most of the outdoor races that year. Correct me if Im wrong. I believe Chase complained about the Honda that year.
If this scenario does not explain the Chase situation, one must be living under a rock.
Chase cannot consistently run at Jetts speed.
remember when Peick beat the shit out of his bike in the paddocks at daytona after not making the main? That was understandable. Ghost riding a bike at fellow team members is a whole other level.
While I'm definitely not a fan of intentionally damaging your bike or equipment out of frustration, I don't consider it on the same level as launching your bike at your team
Why make the title “hitting marchbanks” and then directly under it post “per mxa almost hit his teammate” stupid fake title. Either edit it or this should go to the dumbgeon. Its bad enough he ghost rode his bike no need for the extra fake bs added on top.
agreed. that's literally what I said as well.
Auto douche for using the word bruh
Pit Row
Exactly, you’re now increasing the already heavy workload on the mechanic that just busted ass to provide you with an impeccably prepped machine and has to do it all over again in less than an hour between motos. That’s going beyond just disrespectful in my opinion.
Yeah I was agreeing with you
Double douche for living in fuckin Idaho 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd be very interested to learn how this topic would go down both internally and externally if Marchbanks had a bad ride and ghost rode his bike, nearly hitting Chase..
They would can his ass!
Why doesn’t Kawi put KYB suspension on the bike for Chase? ML was saying that the Active Ride suspension that Kawi is pretty much replicating is as close as you can make Showa to KYB. They’re doing everything they can for him, throw some KYB on it and see if that helps him.
How is throwing your helmet any better? You think alpinestars would be ok with that?
Also, does anyone know what ghost riding his bike actually meant? Sounds like some people think he had the entire team lined up like bowling pins and aimed the bike 3rd gear at them. I imagine him stepping off as he went under the tent (not that it’s ok to do that either).
Probably, dude.
That's like the taking a dump on your Mother-in-law's Thanksgiving turkey of workplace race-team etiquette.
Half the people there were up late slaving proudly sleepless hours building that bike. And everyone else is just trying to chill, be friendly, get ready for the next race, and weren't anticipating the possibility of being hit by a tantrum-powered green missile.
Well per the guys who saw it the bike almost hit GM and he was pissed off about it.
Kicking stuff, breaking minor items etc when angry is still poor behaviour and if an employee/contractor did that in my workplace they’d be fronting up for a please explain.
Ghost riding a bike into a pit area is escalating that to a different level and deserves an appropriately escalated response. Worse still if it was done publicly and (reportedly) nearly hit other people.
I think Marchbanks slowed down in order to not pass his teammate.
He was moving through the pack pretty well, then stopped moving forward once he caught Chase.
If he's able, he should pass him. It's not disrespect.
Also I’ll add that it’s indicative of a person who is unable to control their emotions appropriately.
