Jimmy Stewart left Yamaha?

Now how is he supposed to discover the meaning of Christmas on a goddamned Suzuki or whatever?!

I should probably stop dreaming, but whatever happens I just hope he can stay on his damn bike and make for some good racing in the outdoors.

I was a fan of Bubbas until this season. He seemed pretty unprofessional in the way he interviewed this season.

He should ditch the TV show and get back to winning. I'm glad he's racing outdoors he might get the mental edge back that he used to have.

Supercross is cool and all, but anybody that rides moto and watches it knows you gotta be the boss to own the outdoors. Red Bud.

Love some 4th gear scrubs over 80-90' step up/step downs. :thumb:
Quoted for truth. Red Bud is an awesome track, lived 20 minutes from there in high school. I do plan on attending this race this year while I am home
 
He's like chad reed at the end of his time with kawi. A string of poor finishes, not fitting well with the team. Folks felt that Reed was done. Not saying that JS should start his own team, but he should refocus and reset. He has such physical talent. Its pretty awesome to see him ride when he is on. But its the mental aspect of racing and being a pro that is lacking.

way to play it off kid

"I've had an awesome ride with these guys," Stewart said. "We talked about this happening before the season started because of my troubles on the motorcycle, so it wasn't a surprise. I felt like I wasn't getting the job done for them, so I didn't want Coach (Joe Gibbs) to be locked into a three-year deal paying me all that money when I felt that I couldn't win on that current setup. So I decided it would be best for the team in the immediate future for us to go separate ways until 4 wheels comes around."

With four dominant manufacturers mx has the most-least drama when this happens. It was really edge of the seat anticipation to see who he would ride for next....

Funny you say four, cause I think KTM before I think Suzucky.

And stewart is a good rider but not a champion RC.
