gizza5 Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 Dougie Lampkin will inspire more people in the UK to buy the brand he rides in any year because of who he is and his record Probably ............but I buy my bike because its what I want, definately not because it is the one that has won the world championship as their bikes are far removed from anything we can get our hands on and even if we could, we couldn't hang on to them But your right in the fact that a lot of people will buy a certain bike because 'X' rides one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougie pumpkin Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Was talking to a source close to Dougie yesterday , and their view was that they could not see him going to Beta as that is not where the money is . I hope they are wrong !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattylad Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 I confidently expect him to be riding a Mongasbetashercorpa, covered with a large helping of sauce (Hammonds of course) under a Kangol lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalley250 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Honda will keep him, as on a Beta two stroke he might still be a fret to them on the out door scene. Plus it would look crap for them if he went to Beta and achieved his 100th win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Honda will keep him, as on a Beta two stroke he might still be a fret to them on the out door scene. Plus it would look crap for them if he went to Beta and achieved his 100th win. That's a good point and one that I must say crossed my mind however, I doubt HRC are holding a gun to his head to sign. If they want him and Beta wants him, and if money is not his motivator in this instance, then the choice will be what bike & team is best positioned to give him the ride he needs to make that 100th+ win he no doubt craves. There could be others in there fighting for him as far as we know until something official comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
