Why haven't we heard anything official from Kawasaki? Or have i missed something?

Kawasaki really seems to be slacking in all areas of their team management.

Their PR is horrendous, and it has been this way for years.

Should we blame the team managment, the PR staff, or the tools they have to use?

Fair enough, if they had good news it would make PR's job easier..............and if the engine guy was better there would be more good news.

Haven't seen that in awhile. Hope he's okay and just banged up.

I'm not sure how you possibly came to the conclusion from my post that I have never looped out or this was some sort of dig on Seth?  The Villopoto reference was not condescending in any way, I just can't remember more than a handful of few loopouts in all the years I've been watching pro racing, and Villopotos loopout very similar on the green bike.  I posted the thread because I want someone from PC to end the green curse and I'm hoping Seth is okay and doesn't miss any rounds.  And yes of course I have looped out and I would hope everyone else who grew up riding Dirtbike's has too.

Wow you just won dong beater of the week award.

Sounds like you've probably looped out too many times and caused your self some brain injuries.

So how many Pro races do you have under your belt? Any wins? The way you run your mouth my guess is you have very little racing experience. 

Looks like you sobered up and edited your post for clarity....

Look closely,  you still missed one.

Weege just reported that Seth is done for the rest of the season. Not sure if that includes SMX or not but he is done for the outdoors.

Damnit!  Seth was a contender, and a green one which is long overdue.  Come on Kitchen, do it for Mitch.

I'd love to see it, but Kitchen has shown he is not a closer.  Davies or Shimoda is going to handle this IMO.
