Stewart to Suzuki! It's official.....

[GeorgiePorgie]

I seriously think that whole year suzuki was paying, or telling decoster or someone on the team to F@%& with dungeys bike, they owed him big time in back pay, they didnt expect him to come out swinging and winning all those races, when he left suzuki to go to ktm i think back pay on bonuses was something close to like 5.5 million.... i dont think dungey needed extra gas, i think he just needed a refill...i dont think anyone put gas in his bike between moto's, the incident with his chain in supercross..his rear axle bolt was loose and his adjusters werent even locked...his bike not running at southwick was just pure rediculous... I know i sound like some crazy dude with an armadillo hat on my head wrapped in tin foil lol, but think of the money suzuki saved by dungey not winning those two titles, yet still getting the suzuki on the box week in and out...They never had problems when RC was riding them, or anyone else I've seen of factory suzuki for that matter.

So American Suzuki risks tens of millions in parts/bike sales to save 5.5 million in bonuses....by sabotaging a bike. Which would make consumers question reliability...Knowing well that the bike could of shut off on the face of a jump and seriously injured their top rider....and knowingly put faulty parts on the bike for a Supercross race.

Absolutely not.

no way he was doing this on that turd yamaha.

 

[GeorgiePorgie]

That track was smooth and not rutted. That's the only reason he's going fast.

Sweet pic! Im sure he could do that on a 1973 hodaka combat wombat, maybe even that turd yamaha.......

i never said anything about your education. so now im questioning it.

and i dont like dungey, but you dont see me turn every thread into a dungey hate thread now do you? i really dont like justin bogel. and i have maybe mentioned him 2 other times.

what really gets at me, which i havent see you do it, is when people find humor out of bubba crashing. i dont care how bad i dont like someone, ill never find it funny when they crash. especially as hard as stewart does.
check this tweet out to stewarts mom...
MOTOlife ‏ <s>@</s>M0T0life <s>@</s>sstewartsxmx <s>@</s>OrigStella1999 gonna be fun watchin James break his neck trying to beat RV


are you ****ing kidding me?

Agreed. I brought a combat photographer with me to take pics at BC because he was doing a story for the newspaper he works at about MX and he was defending our right to ride to those stupid people who say we polute the atmosphere and he brought a girl along. She kept saying she was bored because no one was crashing.

I never understood the enjoyment of watching others crash. I remember when doug crashed and broke his back back in the 90s and my buddy kept rewinding the tape to rewatch it over n over n over.

And in another video, I'll have to find it, you see RV crash and the crowd in front of the camera starts cheering. Kinda sick.

I think that is a little different. Cheering because someone goes down and your rider gets the lead is not the same as cheering because the guy who crashed is hurt.

lol

 

[HoyackRacing829]

in that mike webb video, 4 days into testing and the mechanic is already pushing the bike off the track!....

anyone that doesn't make it out of 2nd gear shouldn't be aloud to comment on a pros speed, just because there where ruts and braking bumps at a track that you rode, doesn't mean you where hitting em.... shhhhh!

 

[BriarcliffMx]

At least this season is going to be interesting for a few races. Hopefully, Stewie and Dungey stay healthy.

 

[hersh552]

I understand both sides to the argument over going fast on a smooth track in his backyard. The conditions at a National are NOTHING like that. And he would never be able to pin it wide open around Hi-Point (he tried doing that once...CRASH) like he was around his own smooth track. Was he hauling the mail in that video? YES HE WAS! Does that Suzuki corner better than that Yamaha? Yes, it does. (yes I get outta second gear...I'm qualified lol!)

Seriously?? That's a stupid comment. The bikes are SO good today that a top rider can win on any of them I believe. Maybe they are more comfortable on one or the other, but all the bikes are awesome. Perhaps Bubba never liked the Yamaha, but it is good enough to win Championships.

 

[SixOneFive]

RV would win championships on a husky?

 

[GeorgiePorgie]

If it is then where is the championship?

yes seriously. wheres all these yamaha championships? stewart wins on the 09, then they change bikes COMPLETELY and his career goes down hill.
so many top pros have commented on not liking the yamaha. we have covered this before. we have also covered the fact that you or I are no where near their riding capabilities. even our local pro heros that post here, while fast, are no where capable of touching on the speed of someone like JS, RV, RD.
also, look back at last year with RV. when did his season really turn around and start running more consistant? unadilla. when did the 2012 kawi make its pro debut? unadilla.
we are all built different. tall short skinny fat. you cant tell me that every bike is going to work the same and cover all those bases the same.
if the bikes are so good these days, (which for you or I, they are), then why are these factories dumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into suspension components?

DO PRIVATEERS RIDE YZ 450F's? NOOOO. Point.

Only people riding them are too slow (by slow I mean the range from slow - local fast) to really know the difference, and people gettin paid to do it.

Seriously... Even Steve roman rides a yz 250 2stroke in the 450 class at PAMX.
