Eddie I don't think you are doing yourself any favours with this thread. It was a no win situation right from the get go.
You are better than this catty shit. Its not fair to your sponsors or to yourself as the face of the team.
I vote to dump this into PD where it belongs.

Who'da thunk ya could sell that much air hehe

Can't blame Ed for chucking this post up (say it was more of a, check out the red faced burglar when he knows i can name and shame him if i wanted, than a stay away posting)
Think i would do exactly the same to be honest !

But hey any advertising is good advertising and i know the Mrs just seen the LG logo over my shoulder and reminded me she is gettin sick of our clothes smelling like they just come out of a sewer, rather than a washing machine and that the fridge freezes the milk and dog roll if ya leave it on the bottom !

Since LG came to the party and sponsered these guys i made up my mind that LG was gonna be the product i replace the above gear with, when i do !!!
But right now i have other priorities like mmmmm fairings, tyres, licence renewal, entry fees, get the friggin van warranted and just gettin the fuggin bike on the track, So a bottle of meths and a chilly bin is all she gets this year bwahahahahaha

THANKYOU SS90! You understand what I meant and why I objected to an assumptive post wide of the mark.

Eddie and Sloan do the sport proud, BIG TIME.

I'm surprised by the number of people who think it's OK, for someone to try and horn in on a deal that's already made.

As a building contractor, if I had a job, and some other tard tried to get in on it, I'd fuckin spew. Thankfully that's illegal, so I'm protected once the contract is signed.

As I would imagine Eddy and Sloan are contracted to ride LG, there really isn't too much to worry about.

Well if an email from a certain Mister Rossi landed in my inbox offering me a chance to bung some stickers on his bike for a few grand then I'd certainly be hitting the reply button.

I agree, now, that more facts have come to light. This is not the approach to take. However going off the first post there wasn't enough information to let everyone here, who don't know you or the full story, see the actual facts.

I'd disagree. All's fair in love and war and as far as I'm concerned, all's fair when it comes to racing sponsorship. If you can convince a sponsor that you'll give them better value for money than another rider then why the hell should it be "shameful" or "underhanded" to try and get on in there?

And the Drew sounds like a typical bloody builder

This thread is being taking to personally by some, Buisness is buisness, so and company can be contacted by any one asking for help

Just becasue this team is currently supported by LG, does not mean that eddie owns it, ( LG that is) NOR does it mean he has the write to get on here and tell all to bugger off.

If eddie was very serious about promoting LG to the fullest, he would give his bike to some one fast, Just like Choppa, and just stick to management and internet war

ha ha ha sorry eddie, ya know I like a laugh

I would like to see team LG- STOP bringing those young young semi naked girls to the race track, and spend the money on there racing or a family entertainment programme, instead of just falling into the style of Europe etc.

PS, my wife knows
I am not gay
