REEDY TO HONDA !!! private backing my tip

[vmx42]

I am pleasantly surprised that the Daily Telegraph didn't ask Chad which team he played for…

…to build his own Frankenstein-style bike that will borrow from the best of every manufacturer.

But that is a real stretch. A Honda with a ProCircuit motor and suspension and a custom graphics doesn't really fit that description. He will have enough to worry about without embarking on that kind of project - he has the talent, just ride the thing.

Should be great to watch, and if successful it will really piss of the Yanks [especially the ones that haunt the RacerX site]. 

Go Chad!!!!!

Frankenbike?

Sounds like Winners Take All to me..

I wonder if I can supply Reedy with some Aussie made Velocette style exhaust tips for his team

[vmx42]

Good to see he has God on his side [judging by the people in the background praying].

And the Yanks can't understand why they don't have a thriving motorcycle manufacturing industry… that thing is a classic.

I am assuming he is going to be jumping something? Or is he just going to be giving the kiddies some rides with the very handy dual seat?

I usually ignore the Murcoch press but that Telly piece is a gem. Surely they've confused November 9 with April 1.

Look up the movie "Winners Take All".  It's a motocross/supercross movie from the 80s.  There's bits & pieces on Youtube.  Whilst billed as a drama/adventure movie back in the 80s, it's pretty much a comedy now 

That bike was bodged up from parts lying around in other riders trucks after the bad guys torched our hero's (Rick Melon - pictured) Yamaha the night before.

I thought Russell Crowe must have signed him as half-back for the Rabbitos?

…Rick Melon…

Boy it must have been a long lunch to come up with that name? 

Noel, I am guessing that he won the big race and the baddies got what they deserved? Ah Hollywood - just like real life…

Arguably the greatest Supercross rider in history

No, his vulnerability under the high ball and slowness behind the ruck go against him.

How does one "former" a team? ......maybe its a reference to the guys he had been associated with previously in the US

But like most of the GREAT's they slip off the track and and need a reality check. I agree Reedy is a great rider and I wish him luck with his new direction in life.
