Sounds like he wants to not only be competative, but to win. It takes big bucks to do either. But if it's one thing that he's got, it's big bucks:fact I think it's also quite apparent that he's not gonna be competative or win with Stewart as his number one rider.

 

Yeah , I had the same feeling as you , that he was only interested in the sport as just another hobby But it appears he has the genuine interest to make it work and be successful. I also agree that Montez ain't gonna get the job done as the numero uno rider BUT.............I hope he picks me as the other rider :riding

:hellobye " PICK ME , PICK ME "

 

Who do you guys think he should sponsor? I think Picotte might be a good choice as he just won the Canadian Superbike Champ., and he's shown that he can be competitive in superbike on Jordan's superstock machine (road america).

Also, if he has the money (which apparently he does) I would like to see him pull Zemke away from Erion Honda. You know Jordan's got the cash to make any bike he wants a front runner, I don't view him as having "privateer" status.

 

Is it definite the team will be running Yamaha? I thought I read somewhere that there would be some Suzukis in the mix? But same opinion...he seems committed. I think it'll be great for the sport.

 

who's the guy that got fired from Erion Honda for getting a DWI last year? Talented, just never lived up to his potential. He'd be good for Jordan's team and easy to get probably now

 

Problem is, you can't hire that guy for the same reasons why Eiron Honda fired him...sponsorship, nobody will back that guy because of his history, and Jordan sure as heck not going to take up the entire bill, you are talking about millions upon millions just to be competitive.

He cant even get into the country

 

yah - heaven forbid he got a dwi. I thought the "Go Show" needed another shot.

 

:bow

He has alot of $$ cash $$, so he can get into this sport as deep as he likes. Sounds like he has a passion for it.

 

If jordan adda another rider it will be pridmore.

 

All I can say is that boy can do anything he puts his mind too!:fact

 

I liked the interview, as he is well spoken, and from what i can tell, approaches everything intelligently. I have been a fan of him, his accomplishments. Seems to genuinely interested, and excited about it, and the team might do well with the right rider, and backing. HOWEVER, as much as he is determined, and seems interested, i am very interested to see if he gets up from a crash, and rides again (If he races alot on the track-Oh, its a given-happens to EVERY racer)...wish him no bad luck, and no intention of course, but that would put him in a different light...this is not like falling into first row at the court on a couple of chairs, or getting hit in the ass by a pitch..I understand his desire to succeed, but making mistakes on a track, is for lack of a better phrase, and padron the pun...but "Its a whole NEW ball game".

Good luck Jordan and welcome to our club. Good to see good guys take an interest and do well

Cheers

What! Anthony Gobert cant get in the country! I dont beleive that. Go Show would be a great pic for Jordan. it sux he got a DUI not that he :beer Gorbert IS a great rider on street and dirt!:beer :beer :beer :cool

 

All I can say is that boy can do anything he puts his mind too!:fact

except baseball

 

I'd really like to see Jordan pick up a name who has already made himself in the business. I really think he needs at least one rider who is "tried and true".

Does anybody know whose contracts are up this year? Did Ducati sign Eboz for multiple years? It will be interesting to see what they do with him, maybe he just needs a bit more time in the saddle to get used to racing a twin.

 

it will be very intersting to see what happens piccotte is a good choice in my mind

 

anybody else?

You mean put his :dollar 's to...

 

Jordan will eventually get tired of waisting money on Montez. He will have a hard time finding any other sponsors as long as Montez is the #1 rider. I think its very nice of him to give Montez a chance to live out his dreams of being a motorcycle racer though.

 

I smell a new reality show ... "The Racer" :thumbup

 

The way I see it this:

1. He enjoys the chalenge and very interested in this sport. He has commitment which will keep him interested.

2. He has :dollar and nothing can stop him to be as involved as he is.

3. If they do achive the goals and become winners, or at least put themselves on the map, the payoff is there in a financial form and feeling of success as we all know is priceless.

He is lucky to do what he does, but he earned everything on his own :bow . That's what it's all about I think. :rock

Perhaps you missed a few portions of the interview and also failed to notice the man's leatrhers, but it was evident from the left front side of his leathers and the fact that he said it ( He said he had at least 3 crashes in pridmores school and during trackdays. ) I'm impressed with what he's doing and I don't think he's talking about racing himself I think he's just so into the sport that he want's to field a team that'll win. My money says he'll partner Montez up with Picotte or another big name. I also would'nt put it past him to field a development racing team. It may not be obvious to you all but I think his aim is to bring a new demographic to motorcycle racing that's simply not represented when considering the level represented in sales and on the street. ( I don't even have to say it but , think about it.)

Well put

 

I thought the interview was facsinating. Very cool to have him explain (in plain terms) how and why he's gotten so involved in motorcycle racing.

Loved the part about renting the track for $5K so he and his buddies could get some practice time in.

I also got a kick outta hearing an absolute icon like MJ talk so enthusiastically about motorcycles and racing much like any 16 year-old obsessed bike nut would.

There's not a person on the planet who doesn't respect Jordan. He's so likable, articulate and personable and seems truly interested in furthering the profile of the sport we love.

Much like his obsession with golf, I think his motives for getting involved are based purely on his enthusiasm and passion for two wheels.

He's hooked like the rest of us and has the time and money (unlike the rest of us) to do whatever he wants to immerse himself in this new-found passion.

I truly believe having him involved could be the single most important factor in helping to bring motorcycle racing into the American mainstream (which is a good thing). :thumbup

 

hmmm i'm glad he did get into the sport. he will definetly attract more ridders to the sport so that is definetley good for us in the rider wareness arena. as far as how far is he going to go personally into the sport who knows we'll just have to wait and see. i personally havent like jordan since he was a complete ass to me on the street when i tried riding with him. but then again if i was jordan id be a d*&$ to whoever also. good luck to MJ maybe i'll run into him on a public blackhawks farms trackday.
