All

I always loved the light and dark blue stripes against the yellow on Suzukis. A little before my time, but to me the RM's and YZ's defined moto in the 70's and early 80's before the Honda dominance of the 80's.

I am putting Pourcel up there on top with Barcia second, and third to Canard. 450's I will give the win to Dungey, second to Stewart, and third to Short. 250's Pourcel Barcia Canard Although, that kid with the fro has been doing pretty good lately, so he may be top three. I'm very happy for Wharton. 450's Dungey Stewart...

This is an inspiring story, I wish all the best for this determined and level headed young man who has taken something bad and looked for the positive in his life!

Actually, I'm not blindly assuming these things. I'm a graduate student in psychology, and also study social psychology, so I understand human behavior a little more than the average Keith-Stone. Understanding human behavior is not the ability to read motivations or minds. There is nothing your degree tells you that helps you there. As a graduate student of psychology, you...

Hmm, strange. I was under the impression this thread was about Stewart but whatever. I was under the impression (the correct one, I believe) that this thread was about James Stewart's letter, NOT his history on a 450 or his reality television show. But you had no problems deviating from the main topic to bashing Stewart. [b]Ryan Villopoto has not...

See above. I asked you to list his record in the 450 class. Show us his 2009 SX season, and how many races did he race the outdoors in 2009 on the 450? Why did he not race all the outdoor races in 2009? The 2010 SX season; how many races did he finish, and in what place did he...

No diversion, I have a point here in regard to the topic of James Stewart's record as a 450 rider. Pilotdude's attacking James' record as a 450 rider. It seems a little biased to me, so I am asking pilotdude to post Ryan Villopoto's 450 record as well to see how reflective he will be when it comes to a...

Pilotdude, Could you do me a favor and post Ryan Villopoto's results on the 450?

DV12 is another fan favorite. Heck, JMB only won three AMA titles. Do we measure his success against that number? Of course not, we measure his success for his smooth style, his enigmatic nature whereby he came, he saw, he conquered, and he left, and we measure it by his ability to do what he did on a dirt bike...

I see. So you don't care about my arguments but are more interested in who I am? Further, in a month I will have more posts than you if I keep at the rate I am at (You must not be very good at math since in three months I still won't have as many posts as you do if...

The entire "How many titles does James have in the big bike class?" is a weak response since a rider's success in this sport is not measured entirely (though perhaps primarily) by titles. If we are going by "big bikes", how many titles does KW have in the 450's? What about Ryan Villopoto? These are two fan favorites who can...

Basically what you are saying is that you don't have an answer to any actual arguments so now you have to resort to questioning our identities (I am not Keith Stone, by the way) in an attempt -- as bad as it may be -- to throw aspersions our way. I guess simply in lieu of the fact that you...

You don't know that he gave up because things were not going his way, that's what you are blindly assuming. Furthermore, you are taking it further with your assumption because it assumes something about James' character, so it is really a veiled personal attack so don't try to give your opinions cred by claiming that you are a fan. You're...

Let's see your big bike record, pilotdude. Or, better yet, let's see the big bike record of Ryan Villopoto. No one denies that Stewart has had injuries, has a history of crashing, etc. However, if you check the races that he enters, he has finished more often than not so quitting is not an issue. As James has proved, sometimes...

Maybe him and Mike Alessi were too busy practicing on their Yamahas?

Sad as it may be, it's because there are people who dislike Stewart (on this board) and that is their compass in judging him as a rider.

So much for your previous statements that it's James' fault that his detractors interpret things as they wish -- even after this press release, guess what? People see what they want and interpret how they will.

Dr. Sweden, You said: You have great points, but you are a bit biased in this discussion and don't use that same amount sober analyze the other way. That's because like everyone else, I am biased. However, I would hope that I am not biased to the point that I am blind like some are on this board. Not you...

And here we have it (Hank Thrill), Stewart stated his intentions, actions, and reasons, and people interpret it how they choose. That's why I say that Stewart owes these clowns nothing, the real fans of motocross don't need to resort to personal attacks or doubting Stewart's integrity and/or commitments. Real fans like good racing whether it is Stewart, Dungey, American...
