Chad seems to be getting that Can Am dialed in finally, or it is finally holding up to his abuse.
Put them both on Hondas like back in the day and I wouldn't put my money on anyone else out there.
They are two of the best riders out there. Between Wimmer, Creamer, Wienen, Natalie, and Byrd, anyone could win on any given weekend. Look at all the times that Chad and Natalie had bike issues over the past few years...
How many times have you seen Wimmer or Creamer have issues?
That Baldwin Honda has had what it takes to win a championship and I was willing to put money on the holeshots it always gets because it's a given, but Uppy needs to train a little harder which I'm sure is easier said then done to stay up front.
And you can take Natalie's comment with a grain of salt. Those guys are great friends and it's all in fun....this isn't bikes, it's ATV racing where you can poke fun an not be politicaly correct at all times.
But you still have to give it to the Can Am boys, they've been busting there butts for 3 years getting those machines dialed in.
A little bit of luck and a motor that doesn't grenade on you=championship contender.
yeah dude by all means i think i should comment before you guys think i was trying to take something away from them so many times last season id be watching a race and see one of them have bike trouble and just be bummed weinen is one of my fav riders same goes for upperman and i would be stoked to see those guys get a championship its sick enough to see them on the podium i just maybe took natalies comment the wrong way i saw it as like taking a poke at two people who were not only previous champions(not that natalie isnt) but also the fastest dudes the seasons prior
why no pro am coverage? what happened in womens class, natalie first, byrd last with a dnf.
I think this was moto 1

Not sure if you were following the sport several years ago, but I seem to remember the LT-R450 and Jeremiah Jones having a lot of DNFs the first years of the program. How long did it take before the R450 stopped blowing up third gear?Quote:

So, my point is that there is a reason Wimmer and Creamer didn't have issues. It is because Gust and Jones had them years before.
I have been following the nationals since right before the switch to production bikes. And yes, Suzuki had issues in the first few years of the R450, what is the CanAm in? The first few years.
That's why I made my post of how Chad is finally getting that CanAm dialed in and holding up to his abuse. Natalie, Lawson, Miller, Baker, and Gee all were plagued with issues when that bike
came out.
Don't let Natalie's comment rile anyone up.....he's probably just trying to stir the pot and get some excitement happening! :) A little sh*t talking/contraversy is a great way to get people talking about the series.....very smart, IMO! :)
