Way to go Tyler. On the couch last week, out there just for fun and almost put it in the main. Attaboy! Keep havin' fun Bud!
I thought it was funny when he raced at the X-Games a few years ago and he described how he would felt if he won the race, which was against Brayton, Grant, Reed, etc. I imagine the TV people wanted to him to say that though.

Just curious why does it matter so much to you/ppl what others do?
Also, the whole Kawi/Yamaha analogy...what the fuck?
Pulling for durham to keep it up front the rest of the year!!!
Put a bag over your head.
Fyi--I also ride for "fun". and lots of it.
Pit Row
Those dudes are riding bikes (you can see them in the video)
They aren't "just off of the couch", that's sarcasm
I think the video shows dd on a rowing machine.
What people seem to be missing is that they know they aren't willing to train enough to be in a title chase, and are reasonable with their finishes. Lets not forget that dd got $977 for his finish Saturday night and TB $576 plus whatever the contingency from yam & kawi is. I'm sure the bikes are loaners (given back at the end of the season), The van is a loaner (given for the series), the gear is all sponsor supplied + whatever vonzipper and DC kicks up to the guys. The suspension is most likely no cost from DD's dad (PR2) - The motor work was probably done for free & most of the parts given to them or bought at cost. Their cost to do the series is minimal with most everything provided by the sponsors. They are making extra loot by selling swag & making videos that the sponsors kick up loot for them to produce. All of that means they have pretty much no pressure to get results, and at the end of the day bringing the same amount of money as DD's deal with PC (since most of those contracts are performance based). Why rag on the guys for doing what makes them happy? I don't see anyone bashing or trash talking the other privateer's out on the track.
I say live and let live. Chances are whatever decisions they make wont impact you in anyway unless you choose to press play on the videos they post. Get excited if they do well, don't cry if they don't - either way its not going to change anything...
BTW - Most riders don't even bother to read these forums because its all just nonsense. Prime example is the mm-rd-js controversy from last weekend. JS7 is still laying down at night in his mansion in Florida, MM is still waking up Monday and working at bakers place, and RD is still going shopping with his super cute wife. Nothing changes... Not even the points race
I did appear to me that DD bike seemed under powered compared to the factory bikes. The factory bikes seemed to accelerate harder and this was very noticeable at the beginning of the race.
