This isn’t your average kid that came up through the grass roots and nobody ever knew of until a year before he turned pro. No, this is a kid that has been branded and monetized by his dad since he was 6 years old, has been raised to believe that carrying yourself with no class or integrity is ok as long as it pays, and has been the main influence on an entire generation of up and coming riders. He knows exactly what he’s doing. There is absolutely zero child like naivety in that skull of his. Additionally, many people...

And I knew someone would come back with a condescending response while having absolutely zero facts or data to support a different perspective. I have nothing against you or anyone else on here who feels differently. I’ve just provided what I believe could be reasonably possible based on my experiences in business and life.

I’m going to play devils advocate here while admittedly not knowing all of the facts. I’m just hypothesizing based on information that we know. I don’t think it’s too far fetched to consider that the price increases are what’s needed to keep everyone involved in the green or margin whole. It’s not a shock to anyone on here that the cost of everything has gone up substantially in the past 5 years. Insurance, taxes, permits, labor, equipment, and maintenance on said equipment have all been sky rocketing since the start of the pandemic. Some of these tracks also have to...

This is so sweet man. The displacement is odd, not bad. You could not spec a better piece of equipment.

I wouldn't put much stock in what the doctors are saying publicly in a PR piece made for tv. Especially when they called it career ending for a number of other athletes. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out over the season.

listen listen listen ….. cause I see this thread boutta go off rails , as I said in a thread last week we all kno wht went on with Kenny & his arm , multi surgeries with the danger of his arm getting amputated, he’s bless to even continue riding a dirt bike let alone still competing at a elite lvl & hunter , he talked about this numerous times where he kept getting hurt in his early days & mentally he wanted to retire early , if it wasent for Jett & their father , us fans wouldn’t even...

If you're going to wear the red, white and blue, I don't expect you to win. All I ask is that, like an American, you show up, put in 110% and don't give up no matter what. That's all any of us could do in his shoes. He did exactly what he was asked to do. Sometimes that will yield results and sometimes it won't, but I would rather be represented by someone who crashed out while giving it absolutely everything he had than someone "playing it safe" and cruising around midpack. That's not what we do around here. Sometimes...

this has probably been said before on here. some of you boys need to cut RJ abit of slack, ok so he crashed here and there , why do you think that is? well probably because he was giving it 110% and riding beyond his means, which is better than sat on the sofa , pulling your pud,like some the heroes on here

Yes, KHI international has money to burn if you look at their relatively tiny investment in moto compared to corporate. That is not the point. Divisions have their budget, goals and objectives. They also have this divisional "black eye" - Prado - to explain to their mgmt chain. IMO I think the shock to corporate is over and they want to move on, just not at any cost. Disclose the problem to corporate, financially reserve the budget, and execute a new plan: Prado on the bench at Kawasaki - kept from racing any other brand because of his contract. No...

The Kawi in Supercross looked very good. I’d say the 21 has developed it far better for Sx than any Mx testing they have done. Chase should be good on it. Jett’s just on another level. Chase will have his days and wins still.

Really, so dumb the biggest sport in the world Fifa, felt it necessary to pull the pin. USA boarder control is a mess right now, fact.

If I were Eli, I would ride them both with no preconceived notions of performance. Have talks with leadership to gain a clear understanding of the team and ability to try different settings and component brands and to get first hand business insight on KTM for the next year and Ducati's plans on development for Supercross. Each option has potential positives and negatives. I do think Eli's feel on the bike would be the most important factor as long as there are no other show stopper issues. For me as a big Eli fan, I want him on a bike...

I would prefer he release some more specific info but he would not be the first guy to look at all the hate and disrespect and just say why bother? He gets far more than his fair share of shit for being a pretty decent human being.

Dude has won as many 450 champions in the last few years as anyone, he is consistently one of the fastest dudes every race. He constantly is able to work through the field. He rarely gives up, probably to a fault. He is almost never hurt. It's a lame take for so many to just default to he quit because Jett is there. Pretty sure he was ahead of jett in points when Jett got hurt in sx. Yeah Webb, got him in sx. But Webb is a legit 3x champ! Chase barely lost. If he's hurt, he's probably hurt...

Can we just wait and see if there’s actually something going on outside of Chase actually being banged up. Like why is “he’s sitting out because he hates KTM” the default? I’m old enough to remember the whole “Jason Anderson isn’t hurt. He’s just pissed and we will never see him on a Kawi again” speculation.

7 years on Honda and left in part because there was no room for him with Lawrence brothers moving up. Seemed to have left on good terms. Now leaving same team that webb left under equally bad circumstances and for similar reasons, plus potential financial concerns..... AC and others have commented on how bad the shock looks sometimes. Other KTM group guys have also talked about it. Maybe he just looks that good in spite of it sometimes? Jett has been smoking people and has been critical of his bike this year. Probably because the bike isn't great despite him...

Perhaps people in the media know why he has been gone… perhaps it’s something that is very personal and just isn’t something that’s appropriate to bring up to the public. Perhaps it’s just media people being respectful of someone’s personal life…I dunno, just a thought, what would I know 🤷🏻‍♂️

It can be. I learned how to program a spare fob for my truck today...for FREE.🙃
