Monday
Wake up.
Make sure Ella is good to go for her “virtual school day”.
Make a bullet-proof coffee.
Login and see what’s up at work as my coffee simmers.
Grab a can of T4 and an RMATVMC-KTM FMF stand out of the garage and throw them in the van.
Grab my coffee and head to Pala.
Put in 3 sessions on my 450 & 1 quick session on OB’s 350 (AMAZING CV FORKS!)
Have a Stella or 2 with the Monday Old Guy group around 1:30.
Load up and head out.
Roll into South of Nick’s around 2:30.
Log into Vital around 3:00 and see an AMAZING photo shoot of BamBam and the New TLD Crew complete with hilarious “bat” in a studio shot.
Read posts from obvious Gen-Z or Y type lame dudes that live in their mom’s basement & are clueless about the whole “BamBam” thing.
Scroll thru thread and realize why the Kardashians have millions of followers.

Silly
That actually sounds like a pretty solid day.

We’ll finally get to see how Barcia does on a KTM. I think it’ll be an improvement for him.

Bike looks insanely good. GasGas always have. My 17 EC300 is super trick.

I like the bat. They're having fun. I can't cite an example off the top of my head but it reminds me of an ad from the 90s. Back when we were allowed to have fun and have characters without ruffling people's feathers.

Anything that reminds me of the 90s in Moto I'm all for.
Agreed. I like it.

I so wanted to see this bike with gold rims, hubs TC's, etc...

But it still looks great.
I agree with you on the wheels, except I really wanted to see the gasgas run red wheels. I love black wheels, but I would love to see something different and new to change it up.

Not a good way to kick things off for Gas Gas. Barcia is at his worst when he's trying to live up to the Bam Bam nickname. If you go back and watch his 250 and rookie 450 years, he would get a great start then check out and run his own race. Now he tries to bounce off every moving thing he can find.

If he would just drop the Bam Bam stupidity and ride his own race, he would be the champion he was on his way to being.

Open letter to fans:

“Hey everyone,

I’m sure many of you have heard by now about the exciting news, I will be joining the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Gas Gas team for the 2021 & 2022 seasons. A lot went on to make this deal happen and I am grateful and privileged to be part of the team.

I would also like to take a moment to thank my previous team for all their effort and support as I gave blood, sweat & tears to help develop that bike. Monster Energy, Alpinestars, Arai and Scott, you guys were more than sponsors, you are family. I will always look back at our years together as not just some of the best years of my career, but some of the best years of my life. When we see each other at the races we won’t just wave at each other, but will be giving hugs to each other (should Social Distancing guidelines allow) because that is what family does. Again, my most sincere thank you to these amazing people.

To my new team and sponsors, let me say this…I will be working tirelessly to allow for us to achieve nothing but success. In a blink of an eye I am now considered a veteran in this sport, but with all this excitement, this switch has made me feel like a rookie all over again. I intend to use my experience and this excitement in the off-season to be dialed for the start of the 2021 season.

To my personal team, I cannot express how grateful I am for you all. My wife Amber who is there for me everyday whether they are good days or bad. You are there to keep me grounded and to lift me up when needed, thank you for all you do and for just being you. I am happy to have you by my side during this journey, but also to be doing Life with you as well…I Love You so much. My parents Don & Lorraine, who have always supported me and help out so much with behind the scenes details, I cannot say thank you enough! Dr. Steve Navarro who has been there since race #1, thanks for always getting my back. And last, but not least my amazing fans who have been behind me through all the years. When I am in “race mode”, I am not always the best with giving high fives and all that, but when I see a fan wearing a #51 jersey, shirt or hat or they are hollering and cheering me on, it lights that fire inside of me making me go out and push to give you all a show and for that I am grateful.

Thank you all for reading. I will try and keep you updated as this next chapter begins, but the 2021 season will be here before we know it so I’ll be working almost every day to be ready. I look forward to seeing you all soon,

JB51”

This is how you treat your old team and sponsors.
JB gets a lot of shit around here but this is a class act that only a select few riders today would show their supporters.

Best of luck JB

Bike looks awesome but I can't help but think that this isn't a final version. Much like how Geico made a temporary off-season design before coming out with their new all red & white design that was on the bikes the last few years. As a few others have mentioned, I would like red wheels and a bit more of Troy's creative mind shown on the bikes but if this is the final version it still looks great!

What if those are just wheels harvested from a KTM that won’t make it to the race bikes??

Cool ad, the video was cool and the bat was good. This must have been a very lucrative deal for Barcia to lure him away from the fat Alpinestars deal he had. I’m also surprised it’s only a 3 rider team, figured they would want more bikes out there.
he wants wo win. He feels his chances are allot better on the Gas Gas. Wouldn't be surprised to see him win A1 🤣

Sony Pictures? I wonder if we will see any cool cross-promotion like Honda did back in the day..

Am I the only one that thinks 'Zombieland'-themed bike would be sweet in the current state of the world? Heh
