Blue Ducs

 

And here comes the same people bitching the sport needs to attract sponsors from outside the industry to grow, bitching about a sponsor from outside the industry because it doesn't jive with their moral compass.

 

Well they're certainly focusing on their target audience...lol. Good for Warhorse for making the deal. Just wondering what OF really thinks they have to gain. Are there really guys out there who don't know what it is? Are there guys (or women) who are more likely to spend money with OF because they're supporting the sport? I do try to support companies that support racing, but this isn't one of them.

 

I think they're trying to rebrand themselves from soft porn only platform...

 

Those opinions will change when the brolly girls appear.

 

Speaking of sponsors, anybody have an idea who Kato is? Only things that come up in search are model trains, heavy equipment, and Green Hornet. Nothing matches their logo.

 

Kato fasteners. They were a big sponsor of Kyle Wyman when he was on the Duc

 

Herrin is a goober but he’s damn good at bringing in new sponsors to motorcycle racing. Fresh and lean and OF.

I like the blue, it’s not the same old same old.

 

Oh, is that whose bikes those are? Well, I guess that answers this question, doesn't it?

 

Thanks for that. Actually can use those at work.

 

He brought those sponsors in and they eventually stayed, moved on to sponsor other riders and teams.

 

Oh, OK. So, whose hoopties in the picture?

 

Those are Warhorse's bikes. Herrin and Baz.

 

At least one is herrins. I think the previous comments were about fresh n lean, who he brought to attack and they have since parted ways with herrin (I assume but don’t quote me on it) but continued to sponsor attack as a team and other individual riders.

 

That's what I gathered from your first post that I quoted. Then you made it clear as mud by saying that they moved on to other teams/riders.

 

Not sure Herrin brought in Fresh n Lean. Owner is a club racer on the west coast (I raced against him in 2018 in Wera). Great guy and pretty sure he wanted to grow and Herrin was a good target especially how busy he was on social media during that time. You will find Thomas from Fresh and lean at all the local race weekends in So-Cal on his Fresh and lean R1.

 

This dropped recently too.

Are Blue Ducks any different that the Yellow ones??

 

Twice as many cylinders.

 

They're quacktastic!
