Team403 Added a reply to KTM to file for Bankruptcy/ Self Restructuring on Friday
11/28/2024 11:25am ^^^^ seems rational. As a racer of multiple PMG lines I’m just hopeful that ego doesn’t tank the whole shooting match. Seems like you could scale back quite a bit and still have a presence. Do they really need 3 rigs for SX? Unfortunately PMG has all their eggs in one basket and no SXS’s and Waverunners to support the...

11/28/2024 10:43am I would most certainly not like to see the racing folks affected but I think the families of the production workers are more important than sport. What sells more bikes - Confidence that your machine was carefully manufactured by engaged persons or Chase Sexton winning? Guess it really doesn’t matter what we think is valuable - the folks approving the...

11/28/2024 6:40am Not sure I’d be too stoked to know I got laid off from the factory while the party just rolls on to the races.. shit look in my opinion. Seems sensible to back out of the racing contracts for a year and get your finances off life support. I fully expect our local series contingency program to get slashed -...

This is why i think the future of all racing divisions are wide open, regardless of what the KTM spokespersons tell the so-called media. " We're going racing. Contracts are signed, bikes are built, they're all riding down at Baker's Factory, semis will be on the road," said Tom Moen from KTM's press department. Do anyone with any kind of critical thinking capabilities think that the creditors give a shit about these racing operations and their survival when they want their owed money back? Lets see what happens in 90-120 days.

11/27/2024 9:23pm I love the history of the sport behind the WT interviews. Some of the backgrounds are fascinating.

He was the main reason I wore MSR during my racing days. I met him at a Supercross when I was young and got his autograph. Seemed like a great man. May he Ride In Peace. Message from MSM - Malcolm Smith (1941 – 2024), who many consider to be America’s most-renowned and best-loved motorcyclist, has died from complications of Parkinson’s disease, which he battled for more than two decades. He was 83. Smith passed away at home in Riverside, Calif., on November 26, peacefully and surrounded by family. He is survived by his wife Joyce, daughters Louise and Ashley...

11/27/2024 8:32pm Yeah Mr Supplier I’m going to need you to take .20/dollar on your aging - ok… so I presume you’re reducing the racing exposure accordingly? Naw man we still need to flex nuts - you dig?

You wouldn’t want to wish that misfortune on anyone, let alone someone who has made such huge contributions to American motocross and built the KTM America program. Yeah I know it’s a joke I hope that his retirement isnt lopsided in KTM stock.

Let's hope that their racing consolidations heading into 2025, along with growing consumer sentiment post-U.S.-election help to right size their cash flow to go racing. It's been really exciting to see the growth and expansions of OEMs and teams over the past dozen years, would be a real shame to see things go backwards.
