I just about fell off my chair when I heard james say that. Everyone notice how he paused and stopped talking after saying bring back the two strokes? Sounded like he wanted to elaborate....

He may have elaborated more and they edited that part out   :<img src=" title="Roll Eyes" class="smiley">

Quite possibly. But then again just about everything these riders say on anything that is getting shown to the public is probably scripted. The fact that james just supported a motorcycle that his sponsor doesn't even make let alone promote is odd. Somebodys not getting a christmas bonus :D

I can't believe these riders are whinging about how much they get paid...

i'm sorry but its pretty bad. what they get paid for a 250f win is 2500 bucks, which is nothing. You realize there are futbol players who get paid millions to sit on the bench? where these racers are risking their lives getting paid basically nothing...
now the contract deals are another story

After rewatching the vid, I realise my bad. I thought they were complaining about how much their contracts were. 2500 is pathetic for 250Fs. Those things get rebuilt every race and that doesn't even cover it. well alot of them get rebuilt every race anyway.

the people who win dont have to touch their bike after they get through riding. It's the privateers (not rockstar suzuki privateer) where they're in a semi, but the privateer's that are in vans and trucks that you dont see unless you walk to the end of the pit area, those guys are the ones that are affected by it. Most lose money every single time they go

what amazes me is that there are still triple digit pro riders still chasing the dream... it isn't the prize money that keeps these guys going that is for sure.

i talked to a few privateers, and you're right, they only do it because of the dream that they might get noticed by a bigger team. They are doing it for pure love of the sport. Most know nothing else.

Seemed like appropriate timing to post this - one of my favourite t shirts along with my 'nuke the quads' one
