Regardless of what Terry put up or took down, any of us can speculate what happened. Most of the time that leans into preconceived notions or past experience, generally or with the specific person ~ i.e., it ain't unbiased. Moreover, it isn't read without bias. I have my own, but at least have the benefit of thirty years of sifting peoples' disputes making me wary of reaching conclusions too soon. Still happens, though.
Combine that with the short leap from "I'm speculating" to "I read that this happened" that goes on all the time and messes get messier.
[Disclaimer: A couple friends do not have positive impressions or experiences with Terry. I don't know Terry, but had nothing but a positive experience with him in the early aughts regarding some early Hangtown photos. No engagement since. Obviously those things influence me, but I can validate how my friends l while still reserving my own judgments. I don't know enough to have one here apart from it sounds like a messy situation, which never litigates well on a message board.]
(I just wanted to post an idiotic opinion to keep this thread from being derailed with facts and logic)
The Shop
Gary Jones, I assume you are talking about Terry Good. I saw Terry Good bragging about making the purchase of Gary's bikes and gear on Facebook a while back. (Gary had told Terry Good many times that he didn't want to sell his 3 AMA 250cc Championship wining bikes the 1972 Yamaha, 1973 Honda, and 1974 Can-Am. Then Good went behind Gary's back and bought the legendary bikes and Gary's team riding gear from a family member were the bikes and riding gear were being stored).
Terry Good is a total SCUM BAG. He continuously steals mine and other photographers' classic MX photos from magazines and reposts them on his multiple Facebook pages to promote himself and his Museum without my permission.
When I ask Good to remove my photos, he gets all hissy and claims they are in "the public domain" which they are not. Photography remains the property of the photographer and his heirs forever, unless they sign away he rights. And then rich boy Good who has the money to hire attorneys, says he will counter sue me for harassing him for his using my photos.
I woud like to ask everone who supports and respects 3-Time National MX Champion Gary Jones, and my own Jim Gianatsis historic Golden Age of Motocross Photography and the legal right of law, not to support Terry Good and his International Motocross Museum. Please let everyone in the motorcycle industry know what a scum bag this guy is. - Jim Gianatsis photographer
Sounds like Good is toxic to the motocross community. He certainly is not acting within the spirit of showing respect and class for the wishes of others.
Also there’s no laws on harassment. Define harassment ?
What a douche bag. Wow.

How was it that he is able to convince guys like DeCoster and so many others to part with one of a kind, irreplaceable moto artifacts?? And to lure the great Joel Robert to relocate to be full time curator of this museum ?? Were all the contributors just blown out with crazy financial offers ?? Did any of these guys not recognize the fact that T.Good was possibly a douchebag of the highest level?
So many intriguing questions and storylines developing here--- can't wait till it all shakes out .
Who knows. Maybe he's a different guy to different people. Maybe he has friendships with DeCoster and Robert. I know DeCoster said on an interview he lost a lot of money in the 2008 financial meltdown. Roger is not a young man, and his family may not want his collection.
I know I was excited about this museum , but this takes some of the shine off.
Nothing worse than arrogant people.
