What an idiot
you ain't as bad as you think you are Mfer! LOL.
JS7 has won more than you ever have and ever will. If he was a multi time champ in both classes I would say fair game, but this dude never won a title..and yes..maybe he should of won in 2003 but he didn't so.
BUT NOBODY has had MORE heart than Ryno in this sport. Many have been equal, but nobody has had more. As far as heart is concerned, he is right up there with all the greats.
You do know he didn't get that payout right? You do know he came back and rode for KTM after that and nearly won a 125cc championship.....
There is NOTHING wrong with him trying to cash out on his insurance policy when he did. He didn't quite, he was being told it was over by doctors. He rightfully had an opportunity to cash in when injuries would have forced a regular guy out of the sport. When his insurance policy was not fulfilled due to legal mumbo jumbo he came back to continue to ride. Most riders would never have been able to comeback and compete for a national championship after taking that time off through all that.
If you rightfully pay THOUSANDS into an insurance and then get hurt to where you are being told you need to retire, it isn't quitting. It's being smart.
It was a bad tweet. It doesn't define him as a human being.
@dbo360: Quit once. Ull always quit. Once u can justify it in ur head... ur fucked.
Here's what JS7 had to say on Twitter:
Pit Row
The truth with that is, he was told by doctors to stop racing. The injuries he suffered should have been career ending. He didn't quite to collect insurance money like you have implied. He wasn't done racing, he was told to hang it up. He didn't stage a crash to collect a check.
When he didn't get the payout due to a paperwork snafu from insurance who agreed to a policy and took his money to only void it when it was time to collect on a technicality, he had to continue racing against the advice of doctors.
So, you can try to make him look like a quitter the way you have or you can look at it from the other side of the coin, he had to do what he had to do to provide for his family after getting eff'd from an insurance company.
again,
I don't agree with what Ryno tweeted, but that tweet doesn't define him as a human being or a competitor. Do we live and die by twitter now days?
maybe instead of "disgrace" he should have used "disappointment"
Oh well, it's all good. bad tweet, good guy.
Hey! Lets hear of one of these times Ryno pulled out of a race when he shouldn't have. If there are plenty, you should be able to tell us one of the top of your head.
great example.
So, he gets up after crashing and finishes? But for some unknown reason doesn't line up for 2nd moto? Are you sure? I have no argument for this. He should have retired then. You'r right. Such a disgrace.
BTW- Ryan Hughes went 13-4 at Troy in 2001 for 6th overall on a Factory Honda.
And you're right about Troy. He crashed in the first moto, finished, rode the second moto and THEN quit. If he could ride the second moto, why couldn't he ride the next week? What a disgrace. If I remember right, Honda had to get Mike Larocco to ride the 450 because Hughes couldn't drag himself out there.
Whatever. It's not the first stupid thing the village idiot screamed in the town square and probably won't be the last.
but after a little fact finding......
Ryan Hughes went 13-4 at Troy in 2001 on that "works" Honda.
So yeah, he crashed the first moto and got 13th. Came out and got 4th second moto for 6th overall. Maybe it was another Ryan Hughes you speak of?
I hate when facts get in the way of a good story.
