Who deserves Roger's seat!!!!

That is a valid point, and I thought about that. Him moving to an already established team basically eliminates one bike from the grid (unless he can keep it running and maybe put his brother on it).

But with that being said, it’s sorta like keeping someone in their current position at work (not promoting them), because they are really good where they are and you don’t want to lose them from that spot. That happens way too often in my industry.

I don’t think that is fair. It is basically punishing someone for being very good at what they do.

Kyle spent many years building his own bikes and installing his own tire warmers. He has built his own brand, from scratch, and has backed up his off-track promotions with on-track results and consistency. He went from a WERA Novice, to AMA Superbike front runner, by himself.

IMO, that is the epitome of what this sport is about, and the fulfillment of the dreams every one of us has had at some point. He deserves this shot.


(I know you already knew all that, I was just on a roll )

 

Steady paycheck and less work sounds awesome. That in itself is reason enough.

At the end of the day, there are 2 goals. 1. Have a career racing motorcycles. 2. Win.

A Factory ride gives him (and anyone) the best opportunity to accomplish those goals.

He has done well building his brand on his own, but the ultimate goal is to land on an established team, with a bike capable of winning, where you can concentrate solely on training and riding.

 

Yes, I have.

 

If Kyle would get that seat his 2018 wouldn't suck; marrying Miss New York and getting a factory ride.

 

I don't know about "ultimate goal", but that Yosh seat would a great step along the way to achieving that ultimate goal...

PS - Kyle is the best choice available for the Yosh ride. IMO.

 

To WIN!!! DUH!!!

 

I doubt there is much of a difference at that level. They have to go hand in hand unless you go full Gobert, never go full Gobert.

 

That's a trick question.

 

I heard Pedrosa doesn't have a seat next year...

 

The euros gossip sites are speculating that he just might.

 

Don't let Shockley be in your book...lol. Just kidding .... he's an awesome dude.

 

The ultimate goal is to win. Currently KWR has zero Superbike wins and Yosh/Suzuki has 200. If I could take all the energy I spread across countless roles, running this entire team like I do, and streamline it into riding the motorcycle and preparing myself for that, I know what I am capable of. I would love the pressure of having to perform for somebody other than myself.

I had no rides, never have had a "ride." So I went and made one... and if that eventually gets me a factory Superbike seat, it would be the "MotoAmerican Dream."

Fine get Kyle on yosh and put Cory West on Kyles bike
