What the hell was the "freelance journalist" doing up there on the podium with a Suzuki pit crew shirt? I'm gonna start rooting harder against the yellow boys if his grill is gonna be a fixture up there :pissed:
I hope you thanked him for stepping out of the way so Jimmy Lewis could make a proper magazine :laugh:Thump said:I talked to Ken a few weeks ago, he said he is working public relations for Suzuki/RC.
nuh uh! :coocoo:High Lord Gomer said:Yours was first...XRPerpetraitor pre-dated his post.

I don't know why I don't care for him. Other than the fact that he ruined Dirt Rider Magazine. I guess he comes off as an industry wannabe/hangeron.

I can tell you from experience, it's difficult to take when you put your heart and soul into something and get bagged on hard for it. Maybe he was the wrong guy, not enough universal appeal, but he gave it all he had, I don't think there's many that know the guy that would argue that point. I'm not a KF fan (on a professional level), but I will never dog the guy for not trying to get it done as best he knew how. That's all any of us can do.
That's my whole problem with Faught in a nutshell, and why I'm ecstatic with Jimmy Lewis as his replacement. Rather than a sycophant to the pros, we have a pro-level guy, who's actually a pro-level guy in almost every aspect of dirt biking! And he's "one of us", doesn't "talk down" to you. I hope he's a fixture on the Dirt Rider Adventures show so we can get to know him better. (as long as he doesn't take any time away from Molly Culver . . . hummina hummina!) ;)Patman said:. . . Jimmy Lewis seems to be more interested in dirt bikes than being one of the in crowd at the pro ranks, he seems to be one of us.
I just can't imagine what he would do to help out??
