I love a good rumour... it seems more than likely that Bubba Stewart [the highway patrolmans best friend] will be on the open market tomorrow. Seems Bubba and JGR Yamaha [or any other Yamaha for that matter] just can't get on.
So the question is where will he turn up?
He has confirmed that he will be riding the outdoors but for who [or is that whom]?
Kawasaki - no wouldn't have him back. But then again Villopoto is down and out? 10% chance. ???
Yamaha: no already tried that twice. Ain't gonna happen >:(
KTM: DeCoster doesn't work with PrimaDonnas. :D
Suzuki: Possible. He was headed there before JGR, but the Factory team folded and when to Yoshi. A possibility? But their stocks are down at present. :o
Honda: Trey Canard won't be back too soon. But would they tolerate Bubbas history? My guess no!! :(
22 Motorsports: Now this would be similar to when Allan Moffatt drove for Peter Brocks team. Could it happen?
Chad needs a rider for the outdoors and Barcia wants to win the Lites [or whatever they call it now?] before moving up. Chad could put him [Bubba] on a performance contract and pay him a set amount per point - that might just light a fire under the 'World's Fastest Motocrosser'. Would he? Could he? I don't know but it would be bloody good fun to watch...
What do you reckon?
Or should Bubba just join the Highway Patrol and give motocross the flick forever?

He has enough cash to go for a try on privateering ~ well anythings possible in mx land !!
or
He could just do commericial adverts for the rest of his days....

He could always turn it into some kind of reality TV show. I dunno something along the lines of Jersey Shore meets Bubba at Unadilla? They could turn up at each event in a highway patrol car - sirens blaring and tits out?
That would suit him down to the ground... ;D
-
rumour in Unzud is suzuki
-
Such talent gone to waste thou I never thought of him as a fluid rider. It's a well worn path to self destruction expecting drug arrest some time shortly.
Maybe Honda could kick the tin and see him on the 22 bike stranger shit has happen.
-
he/s not getting on the wasp ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
I reckon Suzuki.
But he's loose as they come, so anything is possible - predicting what Bubba will do next (on the bike or off it) is like an exercise in futility.

RMZ450 For the outdoors mx

Can he weld? ;D
-
RMZ450 For the outdoors mx
Which team ? Or is he buying a team with bikes ? He got enough money.
-
I don't give a shit, he doesn't deserve to ride for anyone......and it gives Metty a better chance in the outdoors.
-
i reckon Chad would be interested in his ability,
but not his attitude.
until Bubsy boy can figure out WHY he's doing it, i think he'll continue on the same path.
Can he weld? ;D
are you sure you're ready to let him loose in your workshop Geoff? :D
-
he should buy a shrimp boat ;D who gives a flying just another great bike rider that has been exploited by the system in the great con job of all 'the modern world of selling' and the companies cutting costs and selling throw away junk

I like Bubba, but I don't think he has been exploited. He could have been on top of the world since Ricky retired, but chose to be a "star". He lost the eye of the tiger at the wrong time (just as he hit his peak). It's downhill from here, both physically and monetarily. Nobody, but the man in the mirror to blame.
;)

Couldn't be any worse than my last apprentice :o

Maybe he can ride for a chinese builder? They brobly don't know what he is like yet. ;D ;D ;D

's funny old world I was thinking the other day. Bubba goes and puts a blue light on his motor and gets pulled over by the plod and we all scream that he's an irresponsible little pr**k!. Joel Robert drives through the streets of Budapest shooting out street lights with a rifle and we think that's the coolest thing since sliced bread. Go figure.

It's a bit like driving home drunk when you get caught your a fool and when you make it home safe your a legend.

Its a different time. Since then the world has changed. Some of it good some of it bad. The biggest change is it has lost its sens of humor ;D
-
So Yoshi Suzuki it is... it will be interesting to see how he does - could be his last serious chance. Been a lot of bridge burning going on in recent years.
Go Dungey!!! :D

One of the things about this Bubba senario is that he was supposed to be out an injured hand.
But he pops up today and goes on and on about how great the 'testing' has been going with the Yosh Suzuki team making it sound like they have been testing for weeks.
So help me out here... you can be under contract [for big bucks] to one manufacturer/team, break a bone in your hand that seemingly keeps you from attending any team event to promote your sponsors, or to simply meet with your fans at the races... but you can get on with 'outdoor testing' for another brand, pose for press photos, conduct interviews, etc, etc...
Sounds like a bunch of prima-donna bullshit to me, and Bubba wonders why he polarises the fans. Why another manufacturer would support such behaviour is beyond me... I hope he goes well on the Suzuki, but I hope Dungey goes even better.
What an immature knob!!!

That is one of the reasons I don't like Stewart, he's so full of shit and up himself. No doubt he will be fast on the Suzuki but hopefully he never wins another title..
-
"Broken hand" is code-speak for "gotta get off this bike/out of this team"?
-
I know bugger all about young James apart from what I've read on here. Sounds like a tool but just watching him ride the Suzuki, gee he can ride a bit. Very smooth and fast! Perhaps a flawed genius Warny style maybe! J
-

Maybe that is the case, but why not support your fans [at least] by attending the races instead of sitting at home shafting your team and testing for another outfit while you are supposedly injured.
If he had terminated his JGR contract and THEN commenced negotiations with Yoshi that would be different...
Suzuki is a great team, with a fantastic history in the sport, I just hope this doesn't blow up in their faces. They deserve better as do the fans.
-
just signed with suzuki,lets hope hes fast then crash's will be more fun to watch.Bubba and his dad desirve each other!!
-
This is starting to sound like a lawsuit for breach of contract in the making ::)

Correct John, we all know he has the speed but if you don't have the ticker to keep trying you will not get to far at that level. I would think he has gone down hill ever since the TV show and don't see him being the rider he was unless he is to address his attitude and come back like Chad has.
After all it should still be all about the riding at any level.

The word "FUN" was spoken a few time..Bit like Casey Stoner time to kick back and enjoy life after a consistant motorcycle life. :P
-
James Stewart won the first moto at Hangtown. Stewart leads the 2nd moto at present with Metcalfe running 2nd. I'd say that's a pretty good showing from the Yoshi Suzuki team ;)
-
Stewart swept both moto's... he's back!

The best Yamaha ad ever? :D
