Yates is fined $5k from the AMA and $25k from the Suzuki team. He also can't compete in the next AMA race (Fontana / California Speedway). That's all?!?!?! W-E-A-K!!

 

atleast he got something

 

Well how much is his annual salary?

Yeah, me and a buddy were wondering that.

What do you guys think these superbike guys (Mladin, Duhamel, Yates, Bostrom's) make in a year. How about the MotoGP guys (Rossi, Biaggi, Edwards).

I'm thinking about going one or the other if the money is good enough.

 

Well, we know that Rossi got 10 mil from Yamaha just to ride their M1. I'm assuming that's definitely not the case for everyone. They probably make a large chunk of their money through endorsements.

 

humm thats expected....10 million through endorsements isn't much when you consider that michael shuemacher has a contract with some company (don't recall , not from US but its a US company) for 700 million dollars over 3 years...he is considered the highest paid athelete in the world when that is taken into consideration...

 

Does anybody still have the video of Yates' incident. I didn't catch it. If anybody has it could they post it up. Thanks

I mean, how hard can it be to ride someone elses really expensive really fast motorcycle around a track. I'd probably settle for 1 mil.

No that is not for real, Mike put that up as a joke. But that is Billys actual Fully Race-prepped 996. It is actually a 10xx, that thing is fast as hell

If it didn't take any skill then there would be all kinds of people doing it...and they wouldn't be getting paid **** cause they would be a dime a dozen.....

 

Yates should of been suspended for more then one race...thats BS. the video is all over the place. go to hondasportbike.com on r1-forum.com. there are som many links to the videos and there is som much discussion going on about that incident.

5 grand! Thats a joke, and maybe even half that amount if he agrees to take an anger management class! LOL If he agrees to take the anger management class he's retarded (even though he's already retarded for kicking and head-butting Fania) that would be so embarrassing. I wonder if Yosh is planning on "punishing" him in some type of way. Anyone know?
