Probably a good move in a down industry. Which is better pay? 2nd rider at L&M or Factory KTM?

KTM is the one manufacturer that still seems to have that rare commodity...... cash $$$$.

Cuz they are huge everywhere else

**barton506** · October 6th, 2010

i dont know a couple years ago they shut down the factory team mid season because they ran out of $$$$

I didn't know about that barton. Was that team here in the US? Was it a factory team or a team riding Orange? I'm asking because by all accounts KTM is and has been financially strong. They seem to be managed well and like Chris said, they are huge everywhere but US motocross. I have never owned one and probably never will so don't this has an angle.

LOLz. I'd get used to seeing a KTM up front, with DeCoster heading up the whole operation, plus signing Shorty... I'd say they're going to be doing pretty well.

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention Roczen and Musquin?

Thats true, that was in the middle of the supercross season i think, when Travis Preston was riding for them.

**barton506** · October 7th, 2010

i know for a fact one of the riders was tommy searle and i think it was travis preston both had 2 year deals and both broken before 1 year

haha DeCoster really is THE MAN but still it takes alot more than a good pep talk to get out there and take care of business. Shorty's comin up short yet again.
