Lewis Hamilton as ambassador? Didn't think cross-brand ambassadors were a thing, as he is not racing F1 for honda...

Does he actually ride or he just poses for pictures next to his bike staring into the distance?

I'm willing to bet it would be impossible for Lewis Hamilton to successfully land a triple backflip 360 mctwist on his Honda CRF450X.
It is also impossible to find a photo of Lewis Hamilton actually riding a dirt bike.

Honda is an interesting one. Given that they have engines in F1 you would think they would steer clear of the driver of a competitor brand. Hamilton gets the exposure though so maybe that is enough.
Honestly though I am surprised he is allowed to ride in season, so maybe he actually doesn't!

...and just like that Seven gear got more publicity than if Stew had ridden all 29 rounds in 2017.

I friggin hate those poser pics. That pic of Hamilton looks like if he took one step he'd walk right out of those boots.

I don't know exactly what it is about this pic , but it kind of pisses me off. Being a poser is one thing , but being a poser in which the person has absolutely nothing to with two wheels and dirt.....pretty freakin' lame. Lewis is a master at his form of motosport.....please leave this one alone. You got no business here.

And there goes Jeffro. One of God's own prototypes. A super high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

I posted this pick in the Eli no des Nations story book, in regards to taking risks doing extra riding/training outside of a championship you're trying to win, but the looseness of those boots, which is one of the first things my eye was drawn to also, has me thinking different. I think Vital has busted this myth!
edit note. the picture I used wasn't nearly as clear

Bet he pocketed a 6 figure fold for his services, or name. Probably not even him in the picture. "We can't show you his face because he's a dentist." (Not sure if that was global ad campaign reference you all might understand)

Yes - it looks like whoever he borrowed those boots from, just before the 'mood' shot, had bigger calves than he, and / or uses Knee Braces. Adjusting buckles to his legs seems a bit of an oversight, by the picture composer.

Yea that's the right attitude to have for the sport.

he didn't get a dime for the post. he's an avid rider, loves moto, and riding off-road.
some of you people are fucking kook's!!!
no one can just be stoked the biggest star in motorsports is into our sport.
as for the Honda F1 thing... it's the same scenro as Suzuki and Gibbs with Toyota.
you guys have to talk shit about how he's a poser. he's posting pics to thank the people that have hooked him up.

It's just because he doesn't tuck in his jersey and wears a chest-pro under it.
I agree with you. Our sport reminds me so much of high-school drama sometimes.

What's up with the 7 logo on the pants? Is that actually on there or is it Photoshopped very poorly. Honda has self cleaning tires, who knew.

Moto-moto, you rescinded your title as Head Kook? 
I'm told the dude loves moto and off-road, and that he wasn't paid a penny from Honda or Seven. Honda loaned him bikes for the summer and Seven gave him gear.
I think the visibility a World Champ like him brings to the sport isn't a bad thing. But you fashion mavens carry on...

LMAO I swear you factory world champions and SX/MX internet champs took yourselves to serious!
