[Okiewan]

Woo Hooo.

 

[Patman]

Say it ain't so :eek:

 

[CanadianRidr]

Well I am 18 so I guess I see this in a different light than you guys do. But he is really a good rider, and I am pretty sure he will post some good results this year:cool:

 

[Okiewan]

Define good results.

 

[MRKRacing125]

cant wait to see him ride. He is an awsome rider

 

[Okiewan]

He'll get spanked.

 

[MXP1MP]

woo right on he's ridding the same bike that made him most famous he was ridding an RM 125 when he ghost rode it off a finish line at a supercross. I can't wait to see his a$$ get k|cked. :p

 

[CanadianRidr]

It was Brian Deegan who ghost rode his bike:silly: Sheesh
As for good results Okie, I am not to sure I will say he will turn heads for his first year back, that's for sure. I don't know exactly where he will place, but I am guessing midpack?
As for getting spanked? No he won't
We could always place a friendly wager?

I take it you don't like the guy Okie?

 

[Okiewan]

No problem at all.

 

[CanadianRidr]

What's no problem at all? Our friendly wager? Or that you have no prob with him? What are the basis for it, you say he gets spanked, but what's going to be the definition of "getting spanked"

Or we can up the wager, and if you lose, at the next dirtweek you have to wear a shirt that says
"I love Mike Metzger" and on the back " I wanna be like mike"
lol

 

[Okiewan]

He wont be top 15.
(if you haven't figured it out yet... I'm messin' with ya. I couldn't care less about Metzger :D )

 

[MXN4FUN]

Blah blah blah, who cares. Another freak on a bike, didn't miss him when he gave up and don't care if he comes back. He'll quit a couple races in cause he part of the generation that tried their best to ruin motocross the slacker generation. Other then RC the generation that followed Stanton, Kiedrowski,Larocco and Bradshaw has been a total waste. Yes they had Lechien in that era but he was the exception not the rule. I concur with Okiewan, define good.:p

 

[Okiewan]

Everyone other than RC? I don't agree with that at all. There are a large number of of serious competitors out there.

 

[CanadianRidr]

I think he can pull a top 15, give it time though, he won't do it the first races, but I think he can do it. Top 15 overall? That may be tuff, but I would't bet against it
Everyone but Carmicheal? Are you nuts, there is TONS of good competion out there besides him, I think you are hung up on the FMX I could list more that 10 guys that are amazing in this quote "generation"

 

[MARK IT]

I bet he'll have the most tatoo's out there!

 

[justql]

He won't be one of my picks in fantasy SX or MX.:mad:

 

[Adam 982]

He Would get spanked if he rode the 125 East where the real competition is.....
If he rides teh 125 West i think he'll do ok.. hell even Fonsucka can win a championship :p

If he does do good.. i think a McMetz to a no handed lander off the finishline would brighten things up ;)

 

[osheen]

Metzger, what a waste of oxygen. The epitomy of slackerism. Somebody needs to tell him that the races are quite a bit longer than a 2 minute routine of old unexciting antics. He won't make it but a few rounds.

Am I the only one that remembers how smooth Fonseca was just a couple of years ago? Don't stick a fork in him yet. I think he'll do well again!

As to the original topic......I think this just shows how lame FMX is.....even Metz is bored with it!! I think he'll flop.

 

[Adam 982]

Ever since he took out Kelly Smith on the last lap of the SX back in 99.. ive hated fonsucka!
too bad everyone held Kelly back.. i wanted to see kelly tune him up.. :debil:

 

[TwinSpar]

I'm sure we will get to see him bust out a few aerial antics before he goes running back to FMX. :silly:

 

[Patman]

If Metz was even close to being top 10 he never would have left. I doubt he'll pull even 1 top ten finish. I'll take the bet too! If he pulls 1 top 10 and finishes the season in 14th or better I'll wear the T-shirt but, if he fails YOU go PANTLESS at DW'02 for a day.:p

 

[CanadianRidr]

If I can make it DW 02 I will take you up on that bet, but 14th overall is kind of strict, I would rather go on the bet that he will never break top ten ;) That way I will have a better chance of seing you wearing and I love mike metzger shirt lol

so how do you ride a bike pantless anyways patman:scream:

 

[Patman]

Just be sure and have a gripper seat cover and the rest is a breeze.:)
