Anyone else notice there is no Dodge logos on the swingarm or anywhere else on Roczen or Tedesco's bikes at Straight Rhythm?

I always thought it was lame Carmichael had a separate deal with Chevy while his team was sponsored by Dodge. I guess the RCH vip's won't get to play in the car simulator they dragged around during SX.

Super lame that Carmichael is able to make money off his personal Monster and Chevy deal, how dare he! *Super Sarcasm alert*

Chevy has stuck with RC since his Kawi days I thought.

I wonder if Heiko's little rant had anything to do with it...

He bashed the RCH crew hard core in a mag across the pond

Well when you own the team and take a check from one company but endorse a direct competitor yourself....I'd say that's pretty lame.

Would you take a check from Vital but wear an MXA helmet when your ride and not expect Vital to be pissed?

Okay, but do you really not see the conflict of interest?

Would it be cool to Suzuki if RC practiced on Honda's?

I get what you're saying but Dodge is a sponsor of the team and it's athletes, which Ricky is not. Ricky doesn't display a bike at the races with Chevy logos, nor does he wear any Chevy apparel/logos during any RCH related events.

For what it's worth, it looks like RCH stopped tagging Dodge in their facebook posts sometime in September.

Not sure which one I wasn't told shit they have a few to chose from.
Considering they just picked up Jimmy John's this year... I'd say it would most likely be Bel Ray...

RCH 2016 by Chevrolet sounds like a natural fit.

I believe they still have the hellcat logo on the swing arm. I'm sure dodge is still a supporting sponsor just not as big of one anymore.

Neither Ken nor Ivan's bikes have had any swingarm logos either Friday or today.

I don't think you'll be seeing Soaring Eagle on there in 2016 either. JJ's going to step up.

Dodge and Ram are two different brands. I knew they had Dodge, but then it changed to Ram. When did it go back to Dodge?

No they aren't. Ram is just a Dodge truck.

That's like saying Civic and Honda are different brands.

A few years ago, Dodge split the branding of their RAM trucks into more of a separate brand. During Supercross, they use the Dodge logos and during outdoors, they switch over to RAM for the branding.

In 2009, the Chrysler/FCA group split off RAM as it's own subdivision/brand (like they did with SRT) so it's a bit different than Civic being just a model. RAM is now the brand for all Chrysler/FCA light and wid-weight duty trucks.
