So in the latest REM report REM Report lets break down the photos by brand, bearing in mind the following most popular brand information at the race:

1. KTM…33%
2. Honda…23%
3. Yamaha…22%
4. Kawasaki…12%
5. Husqvarna…6%
6. Suzuki…2%
5. TM…2%

Photos wise there were:

KTM bike only - 11
Yamaha bike only - 3
Husky bike only - 1
Kawasaki bike only - 0
Honda bike only - 0
Suzuki bike only - 0
TM bike only - 0
Multiple bikes with a KTM or Husky leading - 6
Multiple bikes with a non-KTM or Husky leading - 3

So a 33% brand representation equals over 70% brand representation in photos...makes sense (heavy sarcasm). Is this good journalism?

I'm not among the "in crowd" at Glen Helen. Couldn't tell you the difference between REM and main track. I will say that when I was out there this last spring for work I got the chance to head out there early one weekend. I just walked up and sat in on the riders meeting. Bullshitted with a few dudes and had offers of a bike and gear to race with. I don't know what I expected from folks at "ground zero" but they were core and cool to me. (I got called back in to work or there may have been a thread about donating money to a dumbass that crashed his brains out on that monster downhill). I'll be honest...I found the people in SoCal legit. Laid back outer shell...pure plutonium core...I can dig it.

My dad raced REM on Sept 29. He kept asking me if MXA put up the report the following Monday. I finally asked him why and he responded with the, "I want to see if they got any pictures of me." I then had to explain that he wasn't buddies with the MXA gang so he wouldn't be in there. Sure enough, no mention or pictures of his 4th in his first moto of 50 Expert.

They are pretty bias with a lot of their stuff. I use to enjoy their stuff, but now see that they have their favorites in everything.

What happens at REM happens all over the country every weekend.... Friends, riding buds get together to race & be part of something... The only difference is, REM has a magazine to tell everyone how great is was....I raced the World Vet race a few years ago... it was awesome....no attitudes from what I experienced. If I was local to Glen Helen, I would be racing there all the time....

Any time I've gone to REM I have seen nothing but smiles and racers who genuinely seem to enjoy loading up their bike, going out to the local track and having some good times competing and bench-racing together.

And knowing the Debbi Tamietti, who almost always shoots the REM races and likely edits the photos for the MXA website, there isn't a racer on any brand of motorcycle she wouldn't shoot or try to give coverage to on the website. She's a true gem.

Has any magazine EVER decided upon which photos to publish based on an equal split of motorcycle brands in the entry? No. They publish photos of the riders who won and occasionally good photo of those who didn’t.
