yamaha-deegan-cheated-at-loretta-it-looks-very-suspicious

Fuck Yamaha if they pulled that kids bike. I will never buy another Yamaha if it turns out to be true.

 

Well I don't have to be quite as dramatic. I'll just continue to not buy their products.

 

What a shit show.

*Note* the kid was well spoken, assertive and very mature for being 17.

 

Not dramatic, dramatic would be burning my current pile of Yamahas. As a consumer of motorcycles I am going to buy from companies that have ethics which I feel align with my own. That's my choice and how I choose to spend my hard earned dollar.

 

Here’s the POS who is responsible.
Donnie Luce
Amateur MX/ATV/ Off-Road Cordinator
Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA

One thing will be all but guaranteed after this…nobody will dare show up to Loretta’s with a factory bike again. The rule should also be amended that once the claim has been made you can’t take it back.

 

Claimant needs to remain anonymous unless he/she/they choose otherwise. Problem solved. Then crying about losing your "claimed" bike becomes sour grapes. You knew the rules and chose to bring a $40k bike to a race where you only were going to get $17k if it got claimed, no sympathy here for being stupid and 100% the way this should have gone down. Makes no difference about whether they previously had bad blood or not between themselves.

 

I don't see how they can keep that secret. At some point, the bike has to leave the truck with the new owner.

 

Hard earned? I heard you sit in the office and cash checks all day!

 

this is nowhere even close to over. Ski

 

Brennan Schofields motorbuilder... Derrick Harris HP Race Development

 

don't have any dog in this fight, but saw the video interview of Brennan Shoefield with his view on what happened. Sure sounded like the kid claiming the bike was 100% within the rules, and pretty sad that Yamaha has a guy threatening that kids Canadian shop sponsor, and giving him a real hard time behind closed doors..
edit: goes without sayin though, the TRUTH lies somewhere in between all the stories about this topic that are out there. And there are a LOT of opinions, from some respected people out there.

shady stuff on everyone's part but the kid that tried claiming the bike. Yamaha was caught with their dic* in the vice having given Deegan a bike with so much wammy-jammy. Doubt it was a cheater bike (don't know) but sounds reasonable they were super pissed their development was gonna be out there.

And what's insane.. it was a "B" class race ! Now i get that it was nearly pro level, and as Brennan said, Deegan would likely win no matter what, but almost funny this was NOT a pro-rank class..
Just saw this vid from David Pingree and Grant langston giving their views on it.. was worth the 5 min or so https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChQ1SUrr7JL/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

 

I always thought Grant Langston was a cool guy. That video just reinforces my feelings.

 

Luce a guest on pulpmx...lol

B class is big money these days. Kids are making more money than some pros.
You should see the mx forum I’m on the thread there is nuts.
You’ll see Deegan race the last 2 pro nationals. He’s already bumped up to A

 

Not so fast, I raced in N In years ago against a guy that ran the age classes at LL. He was supported by Suzuki and had stuff on his bike that you couldn’t buy. It also had no bearing on him kicking my ass all over the track..

 

The guy on the far right in black is spot on. The guy in the middle in grey shirt and black hat is a complete idiot, such a fucking idiot. And the Yamaha ball rubbing continues and yes the fat fuck behind the mic is certainly not objective with his leading questioning, such a ball rubber. Like Yamaha doesn’t have any say in the matter. Just another blow hard.
And Donnie Luce is a complete POS, he’s the man in charge, he green lighted this entire ordeal don’t kid yourselves. He’s a complete liar POS.
Fuck him. Fuck Yamaha.

Hey Donnie if you actually really cared HONOR THE CLAIM.

 

And?
