eastreich Posted December 18, 2020 At least now they flopped the East/West schedule back around so the West only small teams that were preparing for a later start aren't screwed. A LOT of travel for them, but at least now they have more than a month to get ready (some smaller West only teams didn't even get their 2021 bikes until earlier this week). Will be odd that Orlando 2, Atlanta(s), and Daytona are West rounds, but it is what it is. Going to be another oddball year! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking about coffee, why the hell are ex MX'er starting up coffee businesses? Does anyone really think we need more varieties of coffee? All I see is retired racers trying to suck more money out of dirt bike riders pockets just because we know who they are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DPete Posted December 18, 2020 I expect the West coast stadiums are high rent and without fan ticket sales cannot pencil out. In fact I don't know how any major fan based sport can make it these days. I guess they survive on TV rights and advertising. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't plan any large business event on the west coast...why pretend? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would you rather give your money to Starbucks? Everyone uses their name to market themselves, why not them? I doubt there are a lot of MX guys going out of their way to buy their coffee and they'll have to market themselves locally if they want to be successful anyway.

No. And why would I give a fly by night coffee company my business just because some ex MX'er wants his wife to feel like she works? Never had a Starbucks and never will. Plain black coffee. Plain and simple, coffee that's more expensive than Folgers and Maxwell House is yuppy gay and less expensive is just being cheap. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

indy rider My Rides (2) Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Now vets are pushing coffee on dirt bikers. Won't be long before some lame firemen gets on the bandwagon trying to use the public's knee jerk support for first responders, to quit his first responder job to become a coffee mogul.

Uhm, Firehouse Coffee? David Pingree supports it, but in his case I think he genuinely likes being a fireman and isn't doing anymore than promoting a brand that supports firefighters.

I didn't know his brand, I just added the firemen part because in the past year I've heard of several fireman using their past occupation as a marketing ploy for some completely unrelated business venture. Which I find...LAME! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
