What about yoshi/suzuki? Stewert and metty? Stewert and ??? Stewert only would be a big mistake. That is a GOOD seat for someone if metty is gone.

Of the speculation on this thread one thing you can be sure of is that Reed is going to stay right where he is. He is in control, his results were going great, and he has a contract with Honda.

If he leaves to go anywhere here is where his next year will wind up:

Wasn't Reed bashing the Suzuki when Stewart made the switch. I remember one of the race interviews, they had a panel of beat-up Honda Riders - Reed, Canard, Windham & Reed wasn't sounding favorable of the Suzuki.

Stewart has Factory Suzuki equip. & if H&H becomes their effort, seems possible Stewart would be there. I would like to see how a Carmichael / Stewart team could improve his consistency.
How'd he do on the Suzuki?

That's what I found odd too. I'm guessing Reed was a little bitter for not getting Stewart on a Honda, so was bashing the ride he did go with.

Here's how I see it...

Chad hasn't made the kind of Money he made when he "Insured Himself" on the Zook -AND- then...when he "Signed" with Monster...

Yet, he has a good run on tehe Honda...I just get the feeling it hasn't been nearly as "Profitable".

So, "Sour-Grapes" on Stewart potentially getting the kind of Money Chad wanted over there (Suzuki, looks llike James will do just fine in '13...$-wise)?

Or, as he's commented...his Bikes have come a LONG way since he started ridng that Vodaphone scooter in Austarlia & he seems REAALLLLLY happy with the Honda; so, does he look back at the Zook as a bike that hasn't kept up with the times...in his mind...at-least? Maybe.

No reference to Chad being there, just his season if he were to go to H&H and Suzuki.

Good deal then.

Any good tracks near you in SD or WY?

Been around that area some for Sturgis a few times.

He said the team wasn't the same as when he was there, and it isn't... They all work at KTM now!

Rumors have Tickle going to H&H. I personally see this as a good thing for Tickle.

Nothing but rumors at this stage....

Not as good as Colorado. The small track at Sturgis and one at Belle Fourche are about all in the area along or near the Interstate in SD. There is one in Casper Wy but that is a long way from here. The one in Belle might not be running this year as I have seen no race schedules posted for it. I have a track of sorts at my farm so I don't go to any others except when they have a local race.

I remember some comment about the bike directly. It was kind of quite away from the mic, said more to Canard I think. It was months ago, so memory is a little fuzzy though.

Roger already said that Dungey would be the only rider under the factory awning. The only rider they tried hard for and didn't get was Dean Wilson.

With Langston Motorsports fielding 2 450s next year with full KTM factory support it would be really neat to see Tyla get that second ride from Langston. Les Smith is already signed for next year.

Would love to see the source of this "Reed bashing Suzuki" BS... He's never had anything but praise for the bike.

Reed havent bashed Suzuki, but he did however said something about Kawasaki. He did atleast not feel at home on the kawi.
Reed even got Mr.Gossner on his team, which also was his mech when he was on Suzuki?

Twotwo motorsports looks like a very good place to be. It would def be my dream team.
Such a positive energy and fun people

Yes he does. Official word will be out soon. He'll be in Europe for next year.
That avenue worked out well for Bobby Moore.

Word is there is also another team in the mix for KTM factory support for next season. Guess we'll all know soon enough.

I remember a tweet that said " JGR talking to Tickle. A LOT." I don`t remember who wrote this, perhaps Matthes.
