Rev Up: Oakland
Thursday, January 24, 2013 | 11:35 AMHello, everyone and welcome to the Rev Up. I first laid eyes on the #511 of Kevin Windham at Lake Whitney, TX when he was leading Robbie Reynard in the 60cc class. I didn’t think it was possible to lead RR, but here came this kid from Baton Rouge, Louisiana out front and heading into the famous sweeper by the starting line. The inside was impossibly whooped out while the outside was smooth with a perfect berm. I’ll never forget watching KW choose the inside, charging in what had to be 5th gear, his bike hardly making a sound. Jumping through the long sweeping corner, he only touched about three times before sending the following table top with a little whip. He also pulled about five bike lengths on Reynard who screamed around the outside wide open and had to be just as astonished as everyone else. That was just the kind of thing Kevin did for the next three decades. Right up until the very hour he called it off. As an amateur his bikes and gear were always clean and everything from the numbers on his plates to his goggle strap were razor straight. Never before has a motocross racer championed such style and innate ability. Congratulations, old friend! Thank you for the memories.

Reed, Villopoto, Stewart (pictured above), Canard, Millsaps and Barcia lead the charge into Oakland.

Oakland
With three winners in as many weeks, the series makes its way Oakland, California. The Bay Area is already buzzing with the San Francisco 49ers making the Super Bowl, much to the chagrin of Raider fans, but enough about the NFL. “NORCAL” is a passionate motocross demographic and they will be going nuts for our version of the Battle of the Bay. While still “California” all the way, the style is a shade more mellow in this part of the state. You can expect to see an ocean of flannels and hoodys in the stands, and these fans are as core as any in the country. They only get the Hangtown Motocross Classic, one SX a year and will arrive to the stadium loaded for bear. Heck, even during some of the rainy nights in San Francisco, these fans kept the stands packed all the way until the final checkered flag.
Last weekend saw tight racing in both classes, but bigger and burlier battles are yet to come. Monster Energy/Kawasaki’s Ryan Villopoto stormed through the pack last weekend leaving his competitors with a cold reminder of his speed. He hasn’t gotten the best of starts in 2013, and if he sharpens that part of his game the rest are going to have to step it up. Taking a look at the points. He is now 11 behind the series leader, and only eight shy of who I feel will be his championship nemesis toward the middle of the tour. That would be Muscle Milk/Honda’s Trey Canard, who is getting great starts and finished in the top five three times consecutively. As the charge makes its way to the cool salt air of Oakland, he could be heating up.
Ah, but so much is growing. Like Canard, TwoTwo Motorsports Honda’s Chad Reed comes into round four on a steady progression of speed and consistency. If the track is softer with more ruts, both of these guys should be greater threats to win. They’ll need good starts though. Fellow Honda pilot Justin Barcia took a gruesome shot last Saturday night, and just like he was a little off at the season opener, A2 and Bam Bam didn’t mesh. His points situation received the most damage, although don’t expect his injuries to slow him down as he goes on the offensive to climb back into the title hunt. Like Chad and Trey, Barcia should have a better chance to take down RV if the track surface is more forgiving.

Stewart looks to bounce back from a slow start to the season and win his third straight race in Oakland.
The dark horse contenders of defending event winner, James Stewart, and another former SX champion, Ryan Dungey, and the emerging Jake Weimer fuel the race scenario. Fans shouldn’t be surprised to see any of the trio put forth their biggest effort of the still young series. Dungey is primed for a breakout performance and needs to return to the podium soon. Weimer has been a silent killer and only showed a flash of his full potential with that holeshot last weekend. Stewart ... well, you never know. He's pumped about returning to Oakland and maybe he can run? What’s great is you never really know with all of these guys. Yet. I say yet, because Villopoto has the potential to go on a streak.
Still missing are the JGR Yamaha squad and RCH Suzuki. Battered by illness and injury, both teams had hopes for 2013 that have yet to come to fruition. With Josh Hill soon to return, and Just Brayton winning a heat race last week, better main events are on the horizon for the satellite powerhouses. Their absence from the podium is over-shadowed by the efforts of privateers Weston Peick and Vince Freise who are conversely over-achieving. As gnarly as the 450 class is, don’t be shocked to see one or both of these tough and fast racers knock a big name out of the main event. Speaking of making the most of things...
Rockstar Energy Racing's Davi Millsaps owns the red plate through three rounds and hasn’t backed down from anyone. Climbing back from that freak heat race spill and going toe to toe with Reed in the main showed championship fortitude. You have to respect the effort from Millsaps and his team. A veteran thought to be past his prime, with absolutely no factory backing or teammates to aid him, remains the alpha. This is still the headline story of 2013.

After a big crash last weekend in Anaheim, Justin Barcia looks to get back on track in Oakland.

It’s already time to drop the gates again, folks. What’s up, NORCAL? The relocation of the charge to scenic Northern California should reinvigorate attendance, and The Bay Area crazies are going to rock this Saturday night. Will their cacophony be the result of witnessing the fourth different winner in 2013? Is Canard ready to pull the trigger? Can Millsaps keep it rolling? There is already bad blood, rivalries, and championship pressure after just three rounds. Time for more, more, more! Time for Oakland, where the boys will be racing with the mindset of the famous Al Davis quote, "Just win, baby. Just win."
Thanks for reading, see you next week.

in our Latest issue of Racer X available now.The James Stewart Freestone AMA Spring Classic in Texas has quickly earned a place on the list of must-attend springtime amateur events. Page 182.




This weekend the Supercross series lands in Oakland, the city with the highest crime rate in California. So far this year, we have seen 3 different riders steal the spotlight. Will one of those riders highjack the top spot for a second time or will some one else step up and take the gold in Oakland?
James Stewart ripped off a win here last year; many people doubt “The Gambler” will be a repeat offender, due to his knee holding him back. I wouldn’t bet against him just yet, as James has a record of surprising us all…Justin Barcia is young and tough, if he is able, a beat up Bam Bam will ride in, take some points, ride out and prepare for next weeks showdown…Ryan Villopoto, by laying waste to the field at A Deuce, showed he is not afraid of confrontation and will shoot down the hopes of any one trying to take his crown… The way Dungey has been riding, as of late, has been a crime. Ryan needs to ride that KTM like he stole it and leave a mark on this weeks event or face more judgment on the conversation below…Chad Reed would like to get comfortable, slip in, whup up on every body to show the “Old Man” is still to be reckoned with… Canard is riding good and would love to clean up in Oakland, possibly apprehending the championship points lead in the process…Millsaps has stolen most of the press this year, by grabbing the early season victory and riding steady. Deadeye Davi is looking to keep what is his and stay on the trail to the title…
This season has had so many story lines; one more may be added Saturday night, as the weather could have an effect on the out come…Also would K-Dub saddle up for one more ride, if the skies let loose and made the track a mudders delight…So far we have had a great season, lets hope it continues to deliver the goods…
Safety tip - I wouldn't walk around Oakland with 49ers clothing, or Broncos, Chiefs, or Chargers or...maybe avoid football colors all together.
Actually, I probably wouldn't walk around Oakland at all, but if some of you guys are as tough as you make yourself out to be, should be no problem.
I see an RV win and Canard emerging with the red plate. Really going out on a limb with that, aren't I?
1983. My brother and fly up to Oakland. We get to Hannah's Box van. He says crap I forgot to get you guys passes. He runs off for about 10 minutes and comes back with pit, press and VIP passes. Brian Lunnis yells at Bob to get going the 2nd practice has started. My brother and I go up to the press box. During the first practice riders were complaining about a certain jump. The track guys changed it without Bob realizing it. So were sitting there all the riders are on the track. Bob comes flying out of the tunnel pitching it sideways. he does about a half a lap and hits that section they changed. He cases the new jump and sprains his ankle. He couldn't ride the rest of the night. Talk about feeling like crap. We go down to some other seats where the riders family's sit. Lunnis and Bob come up and sit with us. Lunnis is really pissed. My brother finally says boy Jeff Hicks is really flying tonight. Bob and Lunnis both look back at us and start laughing. What a night.
Weather, possible mud race? Maybe K-Dub left a week too early.

Great Rev up as usual. Congrats on the birth of your first child, great times...........!
Great Rev up Andy! Would like to say that BD25 is right there. Lol
@ euromike
Where ever you are in Europe, you Americans hater, you are taken over by Arabs, Muslims, turkeys and all other camel humpers!!! LOL
Now talking about Osama( Obama ) is a cheap shot! Lol
1. Flint, Mich.
Violent crimes per 1,000: 23.4
Population: 102,357
2011 murders: 52
Median income: $22,672
Unemployment rate: 18.9%
According to the FBI, no city with more than 100,000 residents had a higher violent crime rate than Flint. In 2011, there were 2,392 incidents of violent crime in Flint, which has a population just above 100,000. That same year, there were just 1,246 violent crimes in all 10 of the safest cities in America — which have 13 times as many residents as Flint among them. Flint has the second-highest murder rate and the highest rates of aggravated assault, burglary and arson in the nation. According to Flint Mayor Dayne Walling, “there are too many guns on the street and it’s easy for individuals with evil motives to take another human being’s life.”
Though the violent crime has long been a problem in Flint, in 2010 the city laid off 20 of its 140 police officers, a decision that diminished both the police’s street presence and response times to crime.
Oakland was 5th sorry
@Euromike - I guess every single city in Europe was crime-free, especially if skinheads beating up foreigners doesn't count.
Weather says it's supposed to rain. I hope this isn't a stupid mud race!!!
We like to watch these guys haul butt and race. To many chances for mechanical's and other stupid wrecks that could take legit title contenders and destroy their season if something goes wrong, and i don't want to see a good points championship get ruined because of a stupid mud race.
Keep that track DRY!!!!!
@MXBOB--dont acknowledge that douchebag--ignore him he is jealous of the greatest country ever...
Stewie has won the last couple--that confidence might be just what he needs.. He hasnt been a threat to win yet, if he gets a start I still dont know if he can by the look of the lap times, and he isnt moving up in the pack...If
RV starts top 5 the race is for second..
I'm a proud American and euromike is right. We are losing this country fast, and Caucasians will be minority in less than 5 years.
America is going down the shi$$er fast unfortunately to wacko fruit cakes and immigrants. Very sad
It always rains in Oakland place is a shit hole !
@Euromike. You sure do to talk and think about the USA a alot. Jealous much. I really couldn’t imagine wasting my time to go on a Euro MX site and talk trash. Why do you care so much about what's going on in the USA?
I love the fact that every time I call my local Internet provider, which is located a mile from my house, I end up talking to someone in India.
I love the fact that my president is a Non-US born ex-Muslim who wants to turn America into a overly taxed, military free, socialist country that doesn't support big industry.
I love the fact that everytime I go to my ATM, it asks me if I want to use it in Spanish?! Wtf
I love the fact that women want equal opportunities in firefighters and front lines of military even tho they can't pass the necessary standards. The standards are reduced now (how will they justify loss of life because a woman can't carry a 200lb man?)
I love the fact that this country is becoming so politically correct, that people can't speak the truth as I am doing now.
I love the fact that 1/3 of Americans can't even read a ballot, yet they are out voting.
I love that fact that I am racist because I don't like Obama, yet 97% of blacks in the entire USA voted Obama and that's not racist.
I love the fact that are kids are so stupid, they use getting on TV for fame by killing 28 kids an the media eats it up.
I love the fact that Hollywood and the media influence our elections.
I love the fact that my country wants to remove Christmas as a holiday, and call a Christmas tree a "holiday tree" instead based on the separation of church and state. YET we celebrate Martin Luther king day as if he wasn't preaching and giving surmons.
I could go on and on and on.. Give me back America 1970 please when we were united and free.
Wasn't it Jake Wiemer who got jaked in the streets of Paris last year? And yes Euromike loves us!
@rick-America 1970's style great place to be and looooooooooooong gone,sad!

I LOVE YOU MAN !!

@rick..Light one up man before the veins in your head explode. Not getting caught up in political bs this time. Oh by the way, 2041 I believe is the date predicted when whites will no longer be the majority.
Let's start an online drive to get Windham to race if it rains.
54 degrees and only 10% chance of rain Saturday in Oakland, 20% chance of rain the next 2 days, so it won't be a mud race. How hard is it to check the weather channel kids?

oh no- politics on a mx board again. but siding with rickamatuzio, btw, its not when or if whites become a minority, that isnt the issue, its HOW they will become a minority. Damn, why cant we get a working govt??
Only people we can blame for our problems in the US is our fellow Americans.
@rickamatuzio. I agree with what you're saying and it's true.
What are you willing to do about it? Do you only buy US made MX gear? Better yet, do you buy only US made everything? I wish I could say I do but I know I don't.
Oh and the media, probably the single worst anti-American thing in our country.
I apologize now as, I know this is wrong, but found my self laughing any way!!!
A U. S. Navy destroyer stops four Mexicans in a row boat rowing towards California
The Captain gets on the loud- speaker and shouts, "Ahoy, small craft. Where are you headed?"
One of the Mexicans puts down his oar, stands up, and shouts, "We are invading the United States of America to reclaim the territory taken by the USA during the 1800's."
The entire crew of the destroyer doubled-over in laughter. When the Captain is finally able to catch his breath, he gets back on the loud-speaker and asks, "Just the four of you?"
The same Mexican stands up again and shouts, "No, we're the last four. The rest are already there!"
@rickamatuzio
That is the best post ever in the history of racerxonline
The end
Is there a race thice week end or what? Rickamatuzio for president 2016!
Track looks technical and very narrow... hopefully it won't be very one lined like i think it will be. Starts will be key this week.

@Rickamatuzio Late 1940's is the america i want back! 70's were awesome as well!
Everyone always thinks the "old days" were better.. They might have seemed better because alot of guys on here were children.. Trust me, they wernt any better or worse than now.. Life is what you make it guys. And we have moto LIVE on TV..... Its awesome, the bikes are better than ever.. The chicks are hotter, and there are more of them.. Rock-n-roll still kicks AS$..... And cars are freakin' fast again.. Jeeps still have straight axles, and this is still the greatest country in the world.. If you dont agree, you need a better outlook or go cry a river somewhere else.. Lets ride, party, rock-n-roll and have a good time guys!!!!
@Rick if you REAQLLY belive our President is a Mexican, and an ex-muslim, you are a real idiot...get over it, your guy lost, now grow up and turn off Fox News...heck, I think even Fox News has given up on that lie..LOL..
If you love your country, you'll love Moonshiners !
bd200 for president!
While TDY at Travis in 2006 ran over to SF one Saturday night with a buddy who was wearing a jacket with USAF on the back. Things did not go well.
Drove through there in 2011 and naked couples that really should not have been naked were walking the streets holding hands.
10% chance of rain in SF is equivalent to 90% in most other places.
Europe is not all bad, they have naked women sitting in windows (they looked good naked).
Here is something that actual has to do with SX/MX. It's called Chronic Traumatic Encephalopthy(CTE). It's a progressive, degenerative disease associated with multiple or a single severe head trauma (concussions). Symptoms can include memory loss, aggression, confusion and depression. They can appear months even decades later. Junior Seau had it. It is usually diagnosed post-mortem but research has found a protein in the brain that helps with an earlier diagnosis and possible treatment.
I begin to wonder how many posters here suffer from it.
I sure hope I don't have it yet. RickM U R right !!!

Was in Reserves in 1970, Military was so unpopular, they made us change into and out of our uniforms at the unit because it was unsafe to drive on highways in uniform (if seems like stretch to some, was in Reserves 39 yrs).
Sloan, hauled moonshine for my great uncle in 65 GTO.
Pull your head out of your ass rickamatuzio!! First of all, we are ALL immigrants to this country dumbass, secondly, this isn't your grandpa's "white" (I am white btw) America any more!! Keep living in and spewing your paranoid fear buddy and your life will be miserable. Learn to adapt and adjust to a changing world (that you can do nothing about) and maybe you wont be just a bitter idealistic moron that you appear to be now!! I hope this weekend is not a mudder!!
@jaminGroge--LOL!!! No way!! But I am NOT an Obama lover, just sick of the ignorant "he isnt American" crap...Not a fan of his new gun control stuff, but since Romney outlawed "assault weapons" while he was Governor of Mass. what would he be doing different now?? Nothing, he would have already outlawed them probably.. And if you are a middle class person, Obama is NOT responsible for your taxes going up, he wanted to raise taxes on Millionaires, but Republicans wanted none of that, so they let the tax cuts expire, so thank Congress for that one, not the President.. I actually feel they ALL SUCK ON CAPITOL HILL myself.. Just tired of the redneck mentality of it.. "Obama is a Muslim not from Merica!!" its getting old.. He won, move on..
@REF-man--I dont know about YOU, but I was born in the United States, I am NOT an immigrant to this country, my heritage may be from somewhere else, but I am NOT from anywhere else, born and raised in the US.. So I am not an immigrant..You are wrong on that post..
Yea yea, the white man is the minority now and you redneck should be scared! You've been racist so long it only makes sense to worry.... but no need. Other ethnicitys have yet to commit the atrocities of American history... just as MLK said "we will not oppress the oppressors" so settle down f*ckos, nobody will do to you what you did to them :)
yeah and in europe they still throw bananas on black soccer players
yeah and in europe they still have some ethnic cleansings in the past 20 years
yeah and europe is gangrened by the mafia
yep europeans are really smart, no doubt
and i don't talk about cannibalism in germany, pedophilia in belgium and france, daily murders in eastern europe, daily sordid affairs in great britain, anders breivik, captain coward, etc etc etc the list goes on
bd200 lol! i live mass I know all about Romney. I chose not to talk politics instead I vote and live with the results it's easier.
@Rene, I agree. That was what I was trying to say. I guess I should have said "Anglo-saxon" rather than American... but ya, us whites have done terrible things, so it makes sense that the guilty members are worried.

Don't miss the irony :)
Agree jamin George-- Its over,
SX SX SX SX SX SX !!!
Man, 2 weeks in a row with no live coverage on SPEED.......Hope to see JS7 back up on the box...A win would be great of coarse, but unlikely.....no crazy crashes or "weird" stuff for James...dude isnt down and out yet...
Pitbull of course we have nothing to be ashamed for, but that doesn't negate having an understanding of history. Sure it's nice to believe one is superior in country, work, prosperity, ethnicity, justice etc etc, many citizens of all countries like to think they're superior...
Majority of you guys need to turn off the Fox News. Nothing but fear mongering and pot stirring.
I'm white and my wife is mexican, i guess some of you have an issue with that?
California has always had a large Mexican population. Nothing new and nothing has changed.
Some of you need to stop with the fear mongering. People have been saying the same BS since the early ages and nothing has changed.
Guess what boys. You're an immigrant too.
The only people who have the right to call themselves natives and that they want their country back are the Indians. If you're not one of them, i suggest you come to terms with some of your guys' hypocrisy and irony.
You're parents used to say the same ole' sh** Rick and so did their parents before and so did you and so will your kids. Nothings changed. Just pot stirring and fear mongering, like Fox news comment section.
@ persona
Dígale a su esposa si se inclinó puedo lamer el coño !
Y, a continuación, pegarlo en la parte trasera
It's funny how I can never agree with some posters here on SX/MX subjects, but when politics come up, I can't agree more....
This is the ultimate BS channel!!! LOL
Best story line is when TP199 threw a bike in the Harbor thats were SX has gone ! Anyone that puts on Disney and Barnum & Baily and smells like 3 week old cabbage must be a lost cause ! Salute ! Salute ! Salute ! LOL !
You better just be gratefull it's not A-3 CAUSE IT WOULD BE A mother of mudders!
Thanks for the memories K-Dub! I recall seeing you at Lake Whitney also. Great spectating back in the day with K-Dub on the 125, Carmichael on an 80 and Bubba on a 60.
I agree with much of what Rick and Pitbull posted.
@persona--why do you and some other insist the only people here who arent immigrants are Indians?? why are they not immigrants?? because they were born here, just like I was!!!!! I am a native American, just not a Native American Indian, but I was born here just like they were.. I am NOT AN IMMIGRANT.....
@BD25 - That's funny
@bd200 - Agreed 100%
Enjoyed the political banter, but we have a Supercross this weekend that should be our focus, so I will go back to that.
Villopoto has thrown down the gauntlet, unleashed his speed and shown all the contenders why he is the 2 time champ. Will anyone have any thing for him?
Barcia is going to race! Two weeks ago he was the second coming of MC, now he is human and hurting, but like a wounded animal he is still dangerous because of his starts.
Everyone is rooting for Canard, who is fast and has impressed us all so far this season! When will Trey be willing to kick it up a notch, to be on par with Firecracker if at all or will be stay content to be on the podium, healthy and smiling..
Reed is saying all the right things, while his ego takes hits by not being on par with RV. Chad was close to him last year and wants to be again. Can he be comfortable and ride the red heads pace for 20 laps, I bet he tries at Oakland..
Stewart is hurting from a sore knee and from having to settle for top ten finishes. Racers want to win their pride demands it, that is why James was always a wreckers or checkers kinda guy. Rumors surround James, controversy follows him, this week, I think it will be make it or break it for JS...
What is up with Dungey? A man known for consistency, is constantly getting poor starts, riding around behind slower riders, and showing very little desire to pass. Ryan has not forgotten how to ride, as his qualifying time showed speed, but where is the desire that has always been his trade mark? The Locomotive needs to have a fire lit in his belly and we need to see the steam come out of his ears, he needs to get on track this weekend, cause we all know he is better than he has shown...
Oh yeah, I did not even mention our red plate holder, Dead Eye Davi. He has been at his best each week up front running a great pace. Even the points leader who has come out on a level that none of us expected is going to need more speed to hang on to that plate..Great racing awaits us all in Oakland..I hope we see lots of surprises from the Sensational Seven!!!
@therealmofo what persona said is historical consensus. When the continents drifted many natives went with it... white people came from Europe. Genealogy and DNA are the proof. Also, just FYI historians don't even discuss this anymore.
@Euromike : Hate to break it to you, but California used to be part of Mexico. If you don't want Mexicans, don't go to Mexico!
Anyway we want racing, Millsaps looks like he's in for the championship, and has hardly made a mistake so far. It is looking like a good year for him!
I read Obamas auto-biography. He was born in Kenya, and admitted it in 1991 while selling his book, but later recanted and claimed Hawaii for his political aspirations. His mother was a Christian, but his father a Muslim. He belonged to the Chicago Socialsts movement in the late 90s. I know all about him..
Anyone that thinks we are better off today must not realize what's going on. Fox News, which I rarely watch, is the highest ranked news Channel because the focus on unbiased news instead of Matt lauer constantly talking about prince Harry and the Rolling Stones. People need to focus on what's important!! Not American idol.
My grandfather was born in Italy, and my family fought in a few wars. They are ashamed at what we've become. Our educational system is failing miserably and other nations are blowing by us. I guess according to someone on here, we have to accept the change so I wonder why we even vote?? Just let government make out decisions then.
You know what pisses me off? I can't ride my 4 wheeler on my own property anymore. The property I pay taxes on and I own, because of liberal folk that somehow convinced our city to ban local ATVs because they are an irritant to society. I guess the college kids drunk across the street at 3am parking down both sides of our street don't count, glad their parents are paying for them.
Oh well, trey canard will win this weekend. I will try not to drink the bong water.
What's our unemployment rate now?? Oh yea.. We're doing great
@Rick--If he was born elsewhere, the Republican Party lawyers would have found out, I guess they should have asked you.. and if you think one man runs this country you dont really know.. Obama cant do much without Congressional approval.. If you are so unhappy and embarressed about our Nation, leave, if you are ashamed, LEAVE... go on big shot, since you seem to know all, you will find somewhere you think is better.. I love it here in the good ole' USA!!
And if you want to ride your ATV, move out of the city brainiac!!!!! I ride my dirtbikes and quad anytime I want..
The biggest thing from the 70's to now is girls finally shave!
Yeah Thanks for that visual Pittbull LOL
@ that's all natural for ya!!! Lol
Actually, super natural! Lol
I would choose knitting! Ha ha
Around 70 posts, 15 or so deal with SX...Guess it is easy to see what everyone is all Revved up about...Should be a great race in Oakland!! Now to see another winner surface, make it 4 for 4..We had that last year, right before RV ran away with the points, aided by a few untimely injures..Judging from past performances, IF, Ryan gets the start, the little red head will be hard to catch, unless he makes a rare mistake....Here's to great racing and everyone's safety in Oakland !!!!
Gee Mofo, your are a smart duck. I wonder why we have presidential elections anyways? I mean they really serve no purpose I guess. I mean his democratically controlled senate doesn't write legislation for him or anything.
The only thing I am embarrassed of is people in America the lack the intelligence to see that things are going awry.
Oh, I am also embarrassed mostly of people like Sean Penn that go overseas and protest against OUR own country. One thing you shouldn't do, is ever accuse me of not being a patriot.
I sure would like to know EXACTLY why Jeremy McGraths team went under? I always considered him and Larry Brooks very business savvy. I wonder what happened
Hey mofo, if Obama lost the election to Romney, do you think people like Phil mickelson would be complaint about being taxed out of .64$ of every dollar??
Do you think the nation debt would still be every increasing and spending money of senseless governement programs? Whoever is president, makes a difference.
Remember the mess jimmy carter had us in? Thank god for Ronald Reagan.. Look my phone won't even automatically capitalize jimmy carter. Funny.
I leave you with these words... BE A MAN, BE A PATRIOT, vote republican and keep your money!
No more politics you can have th last word
There goes poor ignorant Andy again. Ryan Dungey a "dark horse". Silly boy is very ignorant of the sport he writes about. Sir, Dungey is a 5 time AMA champ...
My theory is that Dungey is mentally exhausted from the last year and 3 months of testing and PR for KTM. And he's still testing!!! Please Roger tell everyone to just let the young man ride, quit screwing with that KTM and cut the PR stuff back about 75%..
The Dunge is a strong young man of good character and HE WILL GET IT RIGHT!
