Yeah I read that he was thinking of turning to the yellow team. I think Bubba has been speaking with Honda and Yamaha for next season too.

if you belive the rumours in the states, which have been saying this for a while

Bubba has signed with San Manuel racing (chads team from last year), but they have not signed with a brand yet, apprantly they want more money from yamaha, it will be interesting to see what happens, becuase i presume kawasaki has a right of refusal as well,

Makes sense, shame he's not doing MX, mind you that leaves the door open for Cody

to be honest I don't think he's fast enough to keep up with the top runners in outdoor. I look forward to seeing the 'new' Bubba running against Chad next season in the SX. He's still got the mad speed he did when running with RC but his riding has matured bigtime. Go James for the 09 SX title

yeah heard about this a while back. Hope that the G.O.A.T
makes a return to Motocross soon, as it seems that hes having trouble
securing a sponsor for his car racing next year

Couldn't care less about the SX really. I want to see the best riders race each other at MX. But Chad perms his hair so that says a lot really.

Next thing he will be racing homo chariots!

I want to see Bubba on a KTM.

You reckon RC will make a comeback?

I aggree about the SX, but i think Cody would be a podium finisher with the right team next year.

i think putting Bubba on a KTM will be great for the sport, it would surley bring him back to the pack, make for good racing

and i do not think RC will ever come back,

I think it's good Carmichael left while on top. You can tell he's still got the will to want to hop on and race but like any biker even when you're decrepid and ancient (not that Ricky is) you'll always wanna ride bikes. My grandfather is 75yrs of age and only just sold his trail bike 3yrs ago.

RC still rides at the his farm, in Cody's interviews he says RC jumps in behind him and pushes him in his training moto's,

and i agree, it was good to see him go out on top

Hahah Bubba would still win by the same margins on a KTM. Even a Husky.

Don't know about that. Americans don't seem to be able to ride well on KTM's. I don't think they suit there style nor do they seem to be able to set them up well. Look how much Alessi improved once he switched to Suzuki.
