Matthes posted something saying Kawi wanted to talk to Hart & Huntington. I sure hope Kawi is going to give them more support. I can't believe that they wouldn't want to be associated with Carey's team (and Dodge). And I can't believe they endangered their relationship with Mitch with the FMF deal.
I'd love to see H&H talk Dodge into letting them run Hondas. Then H&H could pull Chad and 22 motorsports into their camp, and get Mitch to support it all as he switched his team to Honda. Mitch runs the 250 and H&H runs the 450s. I'd love to see it.

The Shop
Vegas711, I'd love to call in but domestic duties means I'll be getting my kids ready for bed. I can't catch the show until the next morning's commute.
And, Raceguy: I heard Kenny's backpedaling, but I don't think he should be the one having to do that. We all know that Kenny speaks from the heart (and maybe not always from his brain). That tells me that Kawi really isn't supporting them in any tangible way. So screw 'em. The Pro Circuit deal was just another sign that they don't always treat their business partners well. I can't wait to hear what they say tomorrow night. Of course, they might have Kenny on lockdown so maybe we'll just hear the same backpedaling bullshit. Kawi would be smart to give them bikes, transmissions and anything else they need. We might have to wait until next year to see what really goes down.
I guess the other piece to the puzzle would have to be another sponsor (at least if we involve Mitch in this theory). Unless Mitch can pull Monster with him instead of Kawi. Or maybe it'd just be an H&H deal only. I'd love to see the Pro Circuit Honda squad (again) parking next to the H&H/Dodge/22 Motorsports 450 effort. Fun to think about the possibilities...
BFD.
I like the shake up.
Call it what you want - to steal a hockey phrase, he was doing some serious stick-handling. (not that there's anything wrong with that ...)
Great question on the contract, Spat24. I don't know about that one. Just thinking in the abstract. Mitch couldn't be too psyched about that treatment and he's done so much for Kawasaki. On the other hand, he is a great business man, so one shouldn't let emotions get in the way of business.
Pit Row
In a nutshell, as explained by KDub on the show..
Kawy wouldnt give them anything, and didnt want to have anything to do with H&H
Dodge came on board, offered alot of things for kawi to be able to do, (see first show) and kawi pretty much said no.
Kawi doesnt pay a dime to H&H, Kawi doesnt give anything to H&H, and Kawi up as far as I have heard to date, has flat out refused to have anything to do with Dodge, H&H.
Now, ivan at their track... not sure. Last I was told hes in LV every week riding. Maybe we will find out tomorrow night. 9pm EST Live on www.PulpMX.com
Why would they go to honda? They wont even support reed with anything more than riding their test track and selling him their factory tranny so i dont see them giving h&h anything more than that either. I would say a Suzuki is a better sx bike than the honda but they are also in the auto market so that wouldn't fly either.
Your Ridgeline is unibody. Trucks have a frame.
Your Ridgeline is front wheel drive. Trucks are rear wheel drive.
Your Ridgeline has a 5' box. Escalade EXT's have a bigger box than that. And they're categorized as an SUV crossover, not a truck.
Your Ridgeline is no more of a truck than this is.
Sorry to hurt your feelings but I'm sure most people agree. The Ridgeline isn't really a truck. Doesn't mean they are useless or shitty, just different.
and a dam fun one to drive as well
The frame and body are two seperate parts of a vehicle period
It is unibody which makes it handle 10 times better, oh yeah and the frame that it has is fully boxed which all the larger trucks brag so much about
And it is not front wheel drive you nimrod, its full time all wheel drive
I have the title, I know exactly what it says, technically it is Pickup Truck
Escalade EXT, Avalanche, there is a category most call Sport Utility Truck, but Truck none the less and would say just the same on the title... They have a bigger box because they are bigger trucks, just like any other two diffrent sizes of trucks.
Man you're trying really hard, I guess to make yourself look stupid, how about you check your facts next time before you try and tell someone who owns something you know nothing about what it is and what it has. But hey, can't even say I appreciate the effort, because obviously there wasn't much there. You're like that guy thats gonna tell me how underpowered or crappy a certain model bike is which have never even ridden one yourself... Man I can't stand "that guy"
