One of the best ideas MotoCzysz ever had was to go electric. It allowed MotoCzysz to change the game and play to his strengths. It doesn&#039;t matter that he didn&#039;t finish, that&#039;s motorsport, but he showed took some real risks and if he can pull it off, then he may finally deserve his statue on the hill (I mean, if his shyness doesn&#039;t get in the way)MotoCzysz, whilst a danger to himself, is great for the sport where ever he goes. But I don&#039;t know why he would consider the FIM as an honest broker over TTXGP. They have form in screwing him in particular. Doesn&#039;t he remember how 800 become the new 1000 and where that left him?(also seriously Michael, the FIM Endurance Championship is the cousin in the celler nobody ever talks about. They even make AMA-Pro look spectacular. That&#039;s better then Infineon or Toronto (thanks Brammofan)? Seriously? You&#039;d rather go to Qatar then Silicon Valley??)What is surprising is that MotoCzysz gives the FIM so much play. TTXGP is a startup like him and would I suppose, be very very incentivised to make him successful. The FIM only have a tactical need to kill TTXGP. If they succeed then it&#039;ll be business as usual. In historic terms that means the little guy get f**ked or in another version, MotoCzysz gets a second chance at getting screwed.Anyway, IMO, if he does go for the FIM, he deserves everything he gets. I would personally, in a heartbeat, support the FIM if they had any credibility in this space. They crave the credibility that people like MotoCzysz  can give. And for the short term they will whore themselves out to do it. They have to. They have made the stakes so high.Wow, entertainment aside, can&#039;t believe how dumb the FIM have been in setting about damaging the sport.  The traditional OEM&#039;s must be pleased as it gives them an excuse to sit on the sidelines and blame the chaos. In the meantime the victims are the sport, the technology and progress.At a time when the world is getting together in Copenhagen to work out how to fix some serious shit, the FIM goes its own way as a the trustees of our sport.Great work F**cking Inbred Morons.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have nothing but admiration for MotoCzysz as a visionary and a salesman, but he is the motorcycling version of Preston Tucker. @ijbjugga (wow, would love to hear that name paged at O&#8217;Hare, Maybe send Mike Hunt to collect him.) is right.

With his comment of &quot;overall professionalism really hinders everyone’s ability to do their best. &quot; what is he refering too?  Racing is used for two things typically competition and improving/validating a product.  In this case he can&#039;t compete and doesn&#039;t have a real product based on recent history....Maybe he should help some of these other ebike manufacturers design some that moves the soul.
