MotoAmerica | 2024 | Silly Season

Beautiful presentation. Amazing liveries. That is what we need!

 

Andrew Lee on a nice looking BMW confirmed

 

Yep, he’s riding the MotoExotica bike for Jarred Fixler

 

SBK or STK1000?

 

Anyone know what happened with Warhorse and Onlyfans? Seems like whatever happened was very last minute. I know the AMA sent out a bulletin a few months ago for supercross essentially banning that kind of sponsorship but I haven't found anything for road racing.

 

I wonder if subscribers to Josh’s OF got the scoop on this

 

Provisionally qualified 4th and 26th today. I haven't read about any 'last minute' issues with the team today, or otherwise.

If you read around post 1400 in this thread you'll see the AMA didn't ban Onlyfans, they banned having a sponsor with adult content and no age verification method, and that people on the team have to be 18+.

 

Yes and no. The line I'm zeroing on is section e line 2
"Social Media Platform sponsors must not promote adult content within the platform." This is what I think is the grey area. The product being promoted is actually OFtv which doesn't allow/promote adult content, but they are using the main OF long which certainly does.
However, as I said initially, that bulletin was for supercross and I haven't found any guidelines for road racing.

All that being said, I've learned that a complaint was from "outside the paddock" that made them remove all logos and Warhorse should be running their full sponsorship package for the regular season.

 

why dont you give full credit to sean bice and post what he said in full mr. moderator?

 

Is there a link to that article?

 

Because ultimately, the full statement doesn't change the context nor does the source. It also doesn't give any specifics. So until there is some sort of press release it is all hearsay.

But, since you insist...
"As I understand it, a complaint was made by someone (or some organization), presumably outside the paddock about the OnlyFans logos on the team's bikes. Ultimately, the team removed the OnlyFans logos from the bikes and assorted equipment but kept the blue livery. This change was made for Daytona only. Presumably, the team's Superbikes will display OnlyFans logos for the rest of the season starting at Road Atlanta." -Sean Bice

 

No article. It was just me asking Sean in the MotoAmerica discord if he had any insight to what might be going on.

 

Interesting.

 

Good news here: https://www.roadracingworld.com/news/motoamerica-scholtz-racing-in-supersport-championship/

Seem to recall some scuttle flying around on here about why JH4 ended up on CSU OneCure R6.
What do the insiders and conspiracy theorists have to say about it all now?

Personally, I'm just happy they are both in a seat and racing.

 

I'm connecting this with what Melissa P. said a little while ago when she was interviewed. "Exciting news to share after the Daytona round is over," or something similar. New team, new riders, etc.

 

Dunno. Josh Hayes lurks here sometimes. Maybe he'll chime in and give us the deets?

 

Word around the paddock is that it came down from Audi / Ducati that the only fan

Kaleb did 31's on Daytona gearing during the track day, and he was being very careful with the engine and the bike. When Teagg Hobbs was there a few years ago he did :30's on his Team Hammer SV, so I think the boys today on the Aprilia would be in the 28's no problem. If I recall back in the day you guys were winning races doing :34's and 35's?

 

Word around the paddock is that Audi / Ducati saw the Only Fans thing and pulled the plug. The word "million" was being thrown around and now all of that money will leave the paddock- sucks for all involved, not the least of which is the riders who are probably going to lose a paycheck.
