Straight from Andy Bowyers mouth:

"I became a Brett Metcalfe believer when he ponied up to the 450 class for outdoors 2010, and now I'm a legitimate fan after he smoked Ryan Dungey at Southwick last weekend."

Anyone have any insights to the motivation behind that dumbass statement? Dungey done with RX? Suzuki pulled all advertising?

Dungey went 1-1. How did he get "smoked"?

Wow. Major editorial failure at Racer X.

I didn't watch the first moto, but I would assume he was referring to the fact that Metcalfe was one of the few to step up and challenge Dungey until he ran out of gas...literally. Maybe could have chose a better word than "smoked" but he made a few bold statements in that column.

If I was TFS I would have merely hinted at the fact that I know what form of figurative language he was using, yet refused to offer any clarification or reveal any information. Smile

fucking hilarious - I watched the race, "Smoked" isn't the most appropriate word to describe that battle.

But Metty looked like he was going to go on to win the moto.

(1) Dungey may have been hanging back some because he had no tearoffs, but
(2) Metcalf did ride great and would have won if he hadn't run out of gas with 1/2 lap to go.

The fact is, Dungey had settled for second and the heavens parted and lightning struck and he wound up winning. I'd say that was a hell of a ride for Metcalf.

Come clean dude. Why did you do that? What is your motivation? Why cover shit up? Why lie? You go to hell for that. Why do you think you are smarter than the rest of the people on the board? You got busted posting false information that you made up yourself. What do you have to say for yourself now cumguzler? Mr spearmbeard? etc. You have ripped new asses into thousands of mx fans over the years. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I am going to enjoy this thread.

Since we're having such a fruitful discussion on wordsmithing, my interpretation is that Andy was referring to the three or four puffs of fuel vapor smoke that came from Metty's exhaust just before his bike ran out of gas. Yeah, that's it.

When your emotions overcome your logic to a point you no longer make any sense, it's time to back away from the keyboard for a while. You let BobbyM get under your skin, you lose.

And also said Desalle's performance was only a one -off at Unadilla and that lots of guys can go fast for one race... I take it he hasn't been watching the GPs all year- Desalle goes that speed every week!

Funny, when I read BobbyM's post, I thought, yep, that's what happened. Then I read your post and...WTF? What the hell are you talking about?

Please tell us you're on hard drugs. Then it'll all make sense.

Read BobbyM's post. Read the direct link. BobbyM lied. He changed the words. That is the point. You must be on drugs to have missed that.

Yeah, that's why he put part of it in italics and the rest in normal font. That way, those of us without impaired vision can see what part he added.

" Major editorial failure at Racer X."

How about an opinionated article?

Seems like,Andy pretty much writes what he wants/whats on his mind.
I think he does a good job and I always enjoy reading his stuff.
You must also,if you read it weekly....
So why even go there when you dam well know it is opinionated?
