How much TV coverage would Thompson and Wageman have received for their team’s two top 10 rides if they were on Triumph?
But since they don’t grease the pockets it isn’t even worth a mention…
@fowlersfacts, tell Gypsy Gang Gang we got it…5th thru 22nd place finishes in LCQs don’t pay money, rather gift cards to Costa Mesa Community College ORRRR credit toward a trade school. That’ll thin’er out quick! Check on that for us!
@fowlersfacts@teamsolitaireSX@APsMullet There are many shades of grey to this. In 2024 the team is less important than 1990. Anyone can get a competitive engine and suspension package now. I think the bikes are much closer factory vs privateer team vs gofundme business plan or buy a ride teams.
@teamsolitaireSX@APsMullet And I still love @teamsolitaireSX - you guys aren't privateer in my world (nor ClubMX, Partzilla, AEO, AJE, BarX, etc.). Everyone's up in arms on a 10 min clip of a 3 hour conversation. I'll take the darts and hate. Welcome to 2024.
@Rmullins8@teamsolitaireSX If we had the bikes at the ready, in the semi. It would be nice not to ruin the race engines, but then our guys would not be happy if they do start jumping triples and their bike won’t pull it. It’s not a bad idea at all, just lots of variables and would need additional bikes.
@teamsolitaireSX Can’t you just set the bike up like a normal person would for woods/mud. Say use the super thick clutch pads and dial the ecu down, run big tires, lower the sag
@dbo360x 100% agree. You only cut that hard if you have intent to chop a front wheel. Maybe he’s just that inept, but that can’t be an excuse every time he does something similar.
Friese freezed. Not HFLs fault. Theres an understanding that you flow w the pack thru the first turn. You dont dive bomb or chop to the inside tuf block that tight like Vince did. He nearly collected himself in the process.
@XtremeStream@rotoxmoto I don’t think it’s the same. He doesn’t have the basic code of conduct. I don’t think he gets to be compared to the greats of the 80’s and 90’s.
@rotoxmoto I mean any ol school racer would appreciate Friese , being aggressive was the name of the game in the 80s and 90s , now racers wana get butt hurt for some bar banging ?? It's a simple rule I raced with for years:
You don't like how I passed You then don't get caught by Me !
I’m sorry you lost your son. The fault lies with all 4 of you as parent in your failure to teach your sons proper firearm safety. If they understood the dangers as well as how to mitigate those risks through proper training, they would have been less curious and less dangerous upon finding that weapon. The fault does not lie with peaceable people. Threatening to jail peaceable people for your failure will not bring your son back.
My name is Kristin Song.
On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.
At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.
I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.
The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.
So I did.
6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.
Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.
In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.
When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.
Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.
I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

Being a part of a rider’s career is something we don’t take lightly and our journey with Robbie Wageman has been extremely rewarding. After working together for three seasons we parted ways for the 2023 season, but he remained part of our family. Now back for 2024, we are looking forward to accomplishing our goals together and helping Robbie realize his full potential as a professional racer. Team Solitaire and all of our partners are thrilled to have Robbie and the whole Wageman family back under the Heartbeat Hot Sauce tent for the @SupercrossLIVE season!
