Seems like a timely topic given that the JS7 train seems to have a bad caseof speed wobbles. In retrospect, the silence has been deafening. Just saying...

I don't think we'll get the story until Bubba's World season 3. I've tried to figure out why James keeps everything so hush hush and it occured to me that they want people to watch the TV show, either that or he has the worst PR person in history.

Probably at home making that new Stouffer's Sautes for Two. I hear they are amazing.

Is "Family time" what we call "gardening time"? here in the UK, ie: you get paid not to go to work?

Only way we will ever know is if LB tells the story. James secret service Stewart will never tell.

Brook's forays into the internet were foolish, angry compulsions (The Mototalk tirades and the Broc podium criticism) but in general you've got to give it to the guy for keeping it cool when it comes to parting ways with his riders. Reed in particular had almost nothing nice to say about LB and he just shook it off.

I doubt you'll get much concerning what really went down.

What lawsuit?

That's kind of my point. No news about anything. No reporting by 'reporters'. No nothing.

The Grand Cone of Silence has been lowered over all that is JBS.

Larry will be back at Anaheim next year - just you wait.

His seat will be in Section 132, Row T, Seat 17.

I am sure that Larry will have another team next year.

Like him or hate him, the guy knows his shit.

While I admit that I think Larry should let someone else handle some of his PR work, I think his ego is pretty well in check. He was/is a badass on the bike and carried a strong work ethic over to the management end. Lots of effort, passion, whatever. Built some championship winning efforts along the way and landed some major talent as well. Reed and Stewart both required quite a bit of babysitting and ego stroking to keep happy. I think reality has set in with Reed and he's a better person and racer because of it. James.....well we will see how that plays out, he doesn't appear to be one to keep anyone around that isn't a "yes" man.

About Stewart buying the team, who the hell really knows what's going on there? Did Larry sell his portion? Who owns the semi? Is Larry really fired? Is Larry really laughing his ass off at the moment? I'll be interested to see LB's next move. While everyone may not agree with everything he has said or done, how many others have accomplished what he has? Pretty short list.

I recognize the writing. It has Brooks' name all over it.

Just say it you insiders. LB owes CR 750 large. That's the suit. CR was really suprised when JS went with L&M knowing the deal between he and LB. And in the end CR has tweeted kind of an "I told you so" to JS.

LB learned a lot quicker than I did if you just ignore something it will go away.

"It is also curious that this change happened in the midst of the SX season instead of before the series started or after it finished."

That is what I could not understand....
It must have been pretty bad or nerve racking,for the fact that he was out/gone mid season.

But I do believe Larry left KTM during the Nationals, didn't he (mid season-ish)?

Where/when was it filed? I can't find any reference to a lawsuit other than speculative wild-ass guess posts on forums. If there's a lawsuit, it would be on a docket somewhere.

Don't be down on yourself. I'd say you two were about even.

. . . and just like that MorningWood is gone from the thread, as well as any post calling him out.

Post a reply to: So. Anyway. What is the real LB story?
