Thats pretty sweet (or at least interesting) if Wey does go atv and he is that versatile enough to do good and i think for canidae kawi to go suzuki may be a good move especially since suzuki has the efi and a deal with rockstar is a step in the right direction too.

How come we never hear how much these contracts are. In golf, Your ranked based on how much money you make. I've never heard 1 mention on a telecast how much money a rider makes. In Golf they're like "Jon Daily, 27th on the money list with 12.9 million earned". Wouldn't it be pathetic if motocross did this right now. "James Stewart, number 1 on the money list after signing a 3.8 million dollar yamaha contract". (not correct, just an example but probably about right). How Can people keep calling motocrossers like Stroupe and Tedesco overpaid. Everybody keeps Bitchin about how overpaid the riders are. Thats pocket change compared to tiger woods who's biggest risk is hitting a golf ball in a water hazard or sand trap. Tell me why Stroupes didn't diserve a 600K$ kawi ride. I think everybody that can make a main event should be a millionaire. Not struggling for a job

No word on tommy hahn. After so many good rides abord the privateer kawi, i'd hate to see him just end up killin it on a suzuki. He diserves a good ride and a stack of cash after putting it to the factories on the privateer bike. He shoulda got villopotos bike from the beginning of the season instead of deitrick and moss, although moss rides like a bat outa hell.
