Man props to reed for once again digging into his pockets and doing it for his love of the sport. Could anybody not like the guy? He just loves riding dirtbikes. On the other hand js7 is silent. get em at A1 reedy
Yes, it's fantastic to see CR still going for it. Especially for me personally since he has been my favorite rider ever since i grew up watching SX from 04->.
But i have to say that i'm a bit worried. He wasn't fit when he broke his foot and he has 2 weeks on the bike before A1. It can be a long and tough season results wise.

I do hope he looks better on this bike than the last couple we've seen him on and maybe get at least a podium by the end
Hell I would even cut them a check and I do not do that for anyone else besides Legends & Heroes !
I’ve been saying this since day 1. Both are business oriented. They don’t need to train together or like each other. But from a sponsor standpoint- having BOTH under the same tent on Saturday ? Marketing dream.
I look forward to seeing Chad out there, but I’m happy for James if he’s had enough of risking his life being a world-class competitor. Many would love to have his kind of options.

The way I see it.....he doesn't need the money , and just loves to compete. If he can still make mains and do well.....then hell why not? Shit if I had that money , speed and talent , I'd race in the big leagues into my 40's! Weather Chad is your favorite rider or not.....you have to give that guy huge props! The " being a Vet " thing is why I cheer for that guy so much!
Do it till you can't......like the rest of us vet's! Only much faster.
Ya know, some guys actually put in a lot of effort before they ever made a dime though. I think it's pretty cool that some can live a very good life doing what they love.

Reed is out of shape, just started riding and will be behind once he does join the series IMO
Barcia won't make the whole year.
Maybe that would be possible had he had a full off season. But basically the heart of the off season he has been on the couch. At that age you're not going back up to speed that quickly.
Hope I'm wrong. A2 2014 was one of the coolest races when he came from 7th or so to win
