2015 AMA Supercross Thread

Yeah this is a good year of racing thats for sure. Even though I'm sad to see that RVP is gone its sure nice to see some others take the top spot on the podium haha.

 

Wienerschnitzel is doing a promo right now, featuring JB51. Each cup has a prize.

 

What do you guys think of the whole auction of the 2 banger Reed rode for introduction last weekend?

 

Yeah, it is nice watching him crash.

 

That's usually exciting, but I like watching him pull off wins like he did in Toronto last year. 14th to 1st.

I also like watching him quad sections no one else does.

 

Oh is that what it was for?.....to be auctioned off?

 

No, the guy that loaned Reed the bike is auctioning it on ebay as "the bike chad reed rode" and some signed gear from reed. But, supposedly reed had nothing to do with it and called the guy out. Check reeds facebook for his post about it. Here's the link to the auction http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kawasaki-KX-The-bike-that-chad-reed-rode-for-opening-ceremonies-/321684608324?forcerrptr=true&hash=item4ae5e59544&item=321684608324&pt=US_motorcycles

 

Ohhhh.....so stupid why would someone even do that. I hope he gets busted and did I read that price right?......$58K?!?! What idiot would spend that much on a dirt bike?!?! Did you notice in the picture of the bike in Reeds shop and the sellers.....the front disc brake is different. Like I'm sure they would swap discs like that.

 

Yeah they basically swapped parts, graphics, etc so nothing interfered with his sponsors. The guy that loaned the bike is from knoxville, tn. Just a couple hours out of atlanta. Cant say I blame but, personally I would have kept the bike for myself. I have a feeling ppl bidding at this point are just trolling. No one in their right mind would pay almost 60k for something chad reed pretty much sat on for 15mins lol Plus all the bidders so far have around a 100 rating score..I dont think their bidding seriously

 

Well if this is all a hoax then the seller needs to get in trouble and banned from Ebay at the least. I just dont get people these days....stupid.

 

Eh, I could probably spend $58k on a dirt bike. If I had that kind of money that is.

 

Oh and that is the bike. Reed never denied that.

Also just to point out that bike had Showa A kit Pro Circuit suspension. That's $10k right there alone.

 

Yeah I just read it on his FB page so it looks like its the bike he rode. I understand the suspension work is very pricey but not $60K pricey haha.

 

Yeah that bike isn't worth that much, but I guess some feel it is. 28 bids so far.

It's not the $3k bike Reed claims however.

 

Stupid. Whoever buys that bike for that price is an idiot...

 

Seems like Barcia is making his money doing marketing campaigns rather than winning races. lol

 

Yeah it's kinda funny Peick is proving to be the better rider on the JGR team.

 

Agreed!!!

Haha exactly right!! I really like Bam Bam but he hasnt impressed me much on that blue bike of his.

 

It's been a long time since anyone was impressive on the blue 450 for some reason.

 

Yeah come to think of it your right.....at least in the lites class they have Jeremy Martin. This year seems like mostly KTM's and Hondas getting the most wins.
