If the story was accurate and it probably is, the guy reflected badly on KTM

If I had to guess, there was more than one side to the story.

I wouldn't mess with the wash bays lobby either. Unless waking up next to a horse head is something you're comfortable with.

And some people like drama a little too much.

You can throw conspiracy theories all you want but it's probably as simple as the Mods knowing the Truck driver and not wanting him to be in trouble or dragged through the mud.

Theres always two sides to a story. If your side has something to offer, your side takes precedence. Thats no surprise around here.

Doesn't the Factory KTM rig have its own "wash bay" anyway?

No worries.

I just hope the playing field is level.

Hey, I'm just a guest here along for the ride...

Ramrod stated, "..... reflected badly on KTM." If that's the truth, AND the story was truthful, I don't think our moderators should delete the post. I don't want my access cut, but we really shouldn't be censoring the posts based on press passes or team concerns. Just my opinion. Remember when C@le S**ly said the L@r*tta L#nn's event was such of waste of money and killing the sport? That post lasted about an hour.

Two sides to every story for sure, but the OP backed his side up with what looked to be legitimate photos that seemingly corroborated what he was saying. That crowd didn't look like paid protesters to me. Let's hear what the other side is. Getting the truth out would eleminate the drama, n'est-ce pas?

Then there is the possibility that there isn't much to either side and perpetuating it makes it into something it is not.

It's very much a possibility. This would be the point in time where a journalist would get to the bottom of the story so the truth does come to light. Maybe it's nothing, maybe it's not. Only one way to find out. That's simply called journalism. The alternative to that is to be a puppet like damn near every other media outlet in this country and squash anything that may arise. Draw your own conclusions but I sense a pattern here.

Not sure where the post went, but here is what happened (we'll leave the names out this time): KTM left some custom embroidered towels by the wash bays to dry. They assumed they were safe since they have left them out all season long, but somebody swiped them at Ironman. Security was marginal, but that's another topic. The team manager got on here pleading for their return, no questions asked. Total fiasco.
