Too complicated to understand the "is a" or "is" for my feeble brain. I watched him at GH one year go from the qualifier to the National and still look good riding 3 motos. Reminded me of the old days, since then I have just been a fan. Also can't stand any keyboard cowboy negative comment about riders.

That conforms his riding is "Bad Ass" (new lingo, I think) or awesome!

I was (kinda) joking as to whether he is a "Bad Ass" as in J-Law.**

Obscure, I apologize.

**I found a way to get J-Law into a thread today.

Ha ! nice one.
This was my first use of the term "bad ass" . I still am not sold on it, reminds me of swamp ass, a little talcum powder usually takes care of it fast followed by baby wipe.

Sleeter is an awsome guy but I think even he would tell you he isnt a factory caliber rider. Great test rider and a bad ass motocrosser but def not gonna be runnin up front in the 450 class!

You are a joke Dizzy

Sleeter is awesome. Been KTM's R&D rider for years. Big part in the 350 development. The same guy that all the races he went to the last few years was out of his own pocket. Never races outdoors and almost qualifies for Hangtown on a 250 2 smoke. Give the dude a little respect.

By the way Sleetdawg, congrats to you and Sarah on the birth of your son the other day!


As for the 3rd rider in the big boy class this year on the Factory Team, I would go with it possibly being Dan Reardon.
Yea Sleeter is fast, we get it! Why would nt he pay his own expenses? The keyword in your quote was Almost. Your living in a fantasty world if you think he deserves a factory Ktm.

Unlike years past I have no involvement with the race team. I dont stick my nose where it doesnt belong the Red Bull KTM race team has a very strong crew with great riders so I just sit back and enjoy the show. I have too much on my plate with R&D and Amateur racing at the moment

I asked Shorty the other night about his weapon of choice for the summer, and he'll be on a 350.

I really hope Alessi gets to ride the 450 this summer - and I was hoping Short would too. Seems like KTM would want to have at least one 450 in the field.

Larson always did better on 450s in amateurs. I bet he would do quite well on a factory 450.

I don't hate Sleeter,, I just know that he can't run with the big boys anymore.

Why is it when someone is being honest, they are called a hater? WTH?

Go Peick! That would be cool to have Peick on the KTM team! I hope they don't go to Europe and pull a guy to race.( oh no, I'm going to be called an intolerant Euro hater now!)
