What's up with the eleven-10 mods team? Tweet from PJ:

No Houston for me everyone. Got a phone call lastnight and told I won't have a race bike there if I show up... Bummer. Any thoughts anyone??

That is a bummer. Keep hearing great things about eleven/10 but didnt Nicoletti have a few issues with them last year?

From everything i've heard he hasnt even had a practice bike to ride during the week either (kinda a big deal when you switch from a honda 450 to a Yami 250 mid season), now I know he is a fill in rider but they're a team that are supposed to have factory support and now they cant even put a bike on the track? Is Alex Martin back and has claimed his bike back or something? Its a really odd deal by the sounds of it.

I know he just recently got a practice bike but from the pictures he posted he had to put it all together on his own which is weird to me if you have such "strong" support from Yamaha...might just be that he's not needed anymore I guess

In case anyone had any doubts before this season and JWR and Short and etc, etc, stepping up and funding and running a race team is HARD to pull off.

That teams a joke. They are factory supported and couldn't even get him a practice bike right away and when they did it wasn't even a replica of the race bike...it was stock. I think Sanner is in over his head.

until it gets posted on Twitter by their fill-in rider. Then it's fair game for anyone with an internet connection.

There was a BIG mis-communication between PJ and the team. Looks like PJ may have jumped the gun with his Tweet. Funny thing about social media, once its out there you can't take it back.

I figured it to be a good first post! I have been reading here since near the beginning and just decided to make an account.

I only know Mike from local riding and such. For you to insinuate that I am hangin' from his nuts is pretty stupid.

Last year at Steel City, what bike was he on? Remember that start, killer motor.

What bike was he on at the next round? Oh yeah, that's right. Someone's Honda 450 that was bone stock that he had to BORROW because he found out he had no eleven10 bike after he had already flown out to the national.

Very similar sounding to PJ`s issue's. Aside from the rumor's of PJ getting screwed with practice bikes too.

Don't get me wrong, I've always dug eleven10 for their ability to build bikes, but screwin' riders? That's cool.

Sounds like if anyone's swingin' from anyone nuts, its you dangling from someone's short hairs at eleven10.

Btw, nice bike! Our bikes are strikingly similar, however, judging by the sticker on your cylinder, i'd say yours is much faster than mine! lol

I did not come here to stir the pot, I was merely sharing my feelings on the matter.

Without saying too much, I'm very close to the situation and lets just say that PRECEPTION was not reality in McDade's case. There was a lot more to the story and Eleven 10 didn't want to get in a "he said, she said" battle.

Same thing with this and PJ. A lot of speculation and mis-information for people to be bagging on a team. Its not that easy to run a pro team, if it was there would be more people doing it.

Or...his tweet made the team look bad and they responded.

How could "won't have a race bike there" can be mis-communicated?

Fill us in. Is he racing or not, or do you know?

Very simple, he didn't get that info from the team.

And its a possibility. Working on it now.

No worries, I don't mind being wrong. But you obviously have an agenda for the team as well. I'm sure the truth is in the middle like normal.

Glad PJ will have a bike and be racing.

Nope, no agenda...no affliation with E10 as a team at all other than Chad is a personal friend. I just get tired of people thinking they know and have no clue.
