Weege Show: New KTM Campus Tour Featuring Every Rider
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 ноя 2024
- For years we clumsily called the collection of brands under KTM's umbrella "The KTM Group." Now we have a name for the collection, Pierer Mobility, which is named for KTM's Global CEO Stefan Pierer. The brands (KTM, Husqvarna, GasGas, MV Agusta and Felt Bicycles) broke ground on a new HQ for North America in late 2021, and now the new complex in Temecula, California, is open Jason Weigandt provides a tour of the brand new buildings during the grand opening celebration. Along the way, we chat with just about every factory KTM, Husqvarna and GasGas rider in America!

I could watch this for 3 hours if you went around interviewing every rider, mechanic, engine guy, etc.
Same same
Same!!
Then just add 4K vid of every juicy one off factory part so we can drool and wish they were on our bikes.
It was good to see Daniel and Jason finally meet. Their paths were bound to cross.
Weege is the real MVP! Thank you for taking time out of your day to show us this amazing new facility!
Ian Harrison such a class act and one of my favorites in the pits. The man behind the last factory rm two stroke engine development (Carmichaels) , how can you not salute him!
You have the best enthusiasm and knowledge of every rider and member in the building. You’re a legend forsure Jason
You aren’t kidding about the music issue. I had a video flagged right after upload because you kinda sorta could hear a little music in the background. lol.
I could watch this for hours honestly
Roger choosing to stay extra classy in sport blazer.. incredible building and brand 👏
its amazing how many South Africans are working in the American motocross/supercross industry
Bam Bam can be hilarious 😂 I don't understand why some people hate him or his riding , I enjoy watching his videos and racing
A lot of great riders under that roof! Pierer Mobility is stacked!
I love listening to Roger. He’s a calm thoughtful speaker who is a joy to listen to 😊
I got to ride with AP in the woods a few years ago at Hollister hills for bell ride day that was memory I will never forget haha
Waiting for Marv to make it back!!!
Herlings v Tomac NEEDS to happen! 20:05
The house that Roger built... Pier is a smart cat and the smartest move he ever made was to hire RD. jmo
Great tour WEEGE. KTM has gone super big time. If this is the new factory race shop, would really like to see the manufacturing facility!
Thanks WEEGE
🤠 AP signing the national anthem would be EPIC!!!!🤟🤙
Barcia gives the greatest interviews!
Billy Bolt on par.
AP singing the National Anthem at a gncc is the most american thing ive heard in awhile
This show should have been a hour long!!!
In case you wanted to know why bikes cost $12k+
hehe.....I was thinking the same. Good on them.
I missed the Benavides brothers that have just won Dakar, 2023 one on KTM and the other on Husqwarna. I am a big supercross fan, but Dakar is on another level. hope to see them here next time.
I would guess there not based in North America.
Wow! Amazing facilities.
Can’t imagine the pressure on the riders when all this work is basically for you to win a championship.
That was great! Thanks for the tour weege
Weege's Shaggy/Scooby-Doo laugh cracks me up every time.
🤣🤣🤣
The machine shop is the only thing I wanted to see. Really curious what they actually make in house. Just saw some manual machines in the window.
Weege always top shelf stuff. Wonder if they need a driver? Lots of trucks to drive.
Amazing. Behind the scenes. Please MORE 😊
Gotta love Bam wearing his wives pants 😂
*wife’s
Great, great video Weege. Could watch a much longer video. Well,done.
Lewis Philips , love to see him around :)
That's f ing awesome.eww lala.Have only seen the Budds Creek room.😍
Pierre Mobility sounds like they make fat-guy scooters
It'll be good to see Chase in there next year.
Amazing! Thanks Weege!
Stoked for Blair, dudes going places!!
Awesome job Jason.
If Daniel Blair is roasting Weege imagine what he says to Ricky
I just learned “The Giant Scissors are Legit Scissors”, who knew 🤷🏼
Great tour Weege
Are there public tours available?
No Kailub Russell bike???
Would have liked to see some older bikes, late 70's era, 250, 400, 420, 495...
Could you explain this flattrack phenomenon? Do you do something with your hands or something?
I love that you avoided all the guys in suits.
Since this is a new chapter for Pierer Mobility, should we call it... PM Dawn?
Great job Weege. 👍
That place is intense!
Like the guy sweeping the floor at NASA when asked about his job said "I'm helping to put a man on the moon" so too are the window cleaners and floor wipers at that facility, helping to put their riders on the box
Love it man
3:17 and 4:17 what's going on here?? But great tour!👍
Weege Should do a documentary… easily two hours worth of material…that was just a “Wet your whistle”.
so many meeting rooms is a waste IMO. zoom and done. Nice workshop. Lets see some Emoto!
Weege, which of those rooms do they teach Webb how to tuck his tiny ears in his ball cap?
Seriously tho great vid and tour.
Any clue as to who makes the cabinets?
Weege is a legend
Paul and Eli ain’t having this much fun! Hhahahaha
Thank God for this video racer x!!!! Swapmoto did horrible on this new ktm headquarters video 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿
“I wish I could get a summer” hahah
Barcia.....the master.....😅
You crush it Weege
Is this why a 2023 KTM 250sxf cost 10 grand? O.K. just kidding. Relax people. Thanks Weege for the inside look at this facility. !
How is Marv still on ktm
they musta let ando keep his bike 😂
Spoke truth and got erased lmao
Yooo wicked tour and weege I can attest for all of us no need to rush we can watch this shit for 2 hours very cool and how about the cameo at 24:46 by the legend lord Tito from the buttery films RUclips channel his sister works for ktm that’s her with those long long legs lolol lord Tito legend
craig looks stressed tf out man where are the cbd gummies when u need them
Go team Husky!
Weege i will gladly edit for you lol
I wonder if Marv and his wife speak french to Tom like there in that room just chillin would they speak to him in french or are they strictly english? Same goes for Dylan I have wondered that for a while if they all just speak french to each other or what lol
Easy bet
All these poor 250 riders seeing this bad ass new building, knowing they're getting the boot next year 😅
No mookie?
If motocross and supercross could get there heads out of there asses and go for outside sponsors this is representing what the industry should be like.yet this is nothing compared to one nascar team.
Those Scissors! Only the Europeans! Attention to Detail Weege.
who is number 84.?
The fastest motocross rider in the world Jeffrey Herlings. 5x world champion, 100 Grand prix wins
@@KR15ING I dont think so.
And this is what the privateer has to compete against...😮
450s had a stock bike get the hole shot last weekend!
@@TheJackabrown1
I hope the factory teams are embarrassed that Kevin led them all to the first turn... 😳
@@Isawapuddycat he actually led nearly a full lap. Would of more if he didn't crash.
@@TheJackabrown1
I purposely left out the crash part...
@@Isawapuddycat just saying it was way more then first turn.
How cring'y doz motocross get , up there in the suit & tie area
Why can’t we build a race team/dirt bikes in the U.S.? KTM comes over and opens this state of the facility. Shame on us? Looking for a Elon type…
It has something to do with "fair trade agreements", and subsidies. Cannondale was the last effort, (Bedford PA.),and the rest of the industry (competition) did have a hand in helping shut them down, but they did make a lot of mistakes too. I interviewed there in 2000 (or 2001), and saw a mistake they made, (the shop floor foreman was a mistake). I would have loved to work for them. I got offered a job that was not much more than I was making in Michigan, and glad I did not take the job of course. 6 month later, MXA crucified the bike so badly, like nothing ever before,----like they were paid to do so. But basically on manufacturing (what builds our wealth), ever since the outsourcing of production to communism in china, with our EPA rules, regulations that china and others do not have to deal with,----we are purposely put at a disadvantage for free enterprise production------and we started that as free people. It is communism taking over our free enterprise. That is why.
40 years in manufacturing here myself, and I was not making much money (non-union, but I earned skill), even with 3 college degrees, 2 in engineering, until I started my own business. The Elon type is bad also. He got started with government subsidies, which is part of the process of stealing our free enterprise from us.
*spends millions on a new building but doesn’t have ANY parts available for there current model years*
Yeah maxy whale 🇦🇺🇦🇺
They will be pulling Max’s poster down real soon
This is ridiculous how spoiled these riders are while these facilities Are nice , i just seen a video where mike larocco says was happy to finally get a box van
Mike and others paved the way the future is to be better not worst
I hope this whole thing is tongue in cheek...if not...I would NEVER own one of these bikes.
If I can see the future fairly closely,---this place will be closed within 10 years.
Even The man feels embarrassed, thinking it's too much.
I'm with him on this one.
Hate that one brand pretends to be 3 really ruins the parody of the sport and only gives KTM more riders to pull over for their guy like they have had them do before. Or cut off other riders and use team tactics when they want like they have also done before. Not to mention that they do not want their lesser brands beating KTM so riding for GasGas or Husky is kind of a a joke.
Barcia is the 2nd fastest rider in the entire building and is on the “3rd best brand”. So no your argument doesn’t hold water.
@@ZmannR2 he’s on the third brand for a reason they are a year behind in bikes and have 20% of KTM or Husky’s budget. The people who have rode for them openly have spoke about how they only want KTM to win it’s why Anderson left. Do you think Marv wants to pull over and let Dungey win or now Cooper. Wilson, Osborne the list goes on they have all talked about having to do whatever KTM tells them.
@@jonruger why would they put the 2nd best rider on Gas Gas???
@@ZmannR2 they didn’t Barcia is fast this year but he wasn’t considered a real contender he makes a fraction of what Webb does and he is to wild for KTM. That’s why Troy Lee signed him Troy is wild KTM group would never have brought Barcia In themselves.
@@ZmannR2 TLD is the factory GasGas team but it’s still troys team he has kept the team through multiple brand changes now. He is who finds his riders that’s why he also has Mosiman who had already kind of lost KTMs faith and they had cut him from Husky. But Troy likes him and got him another chance Brown is the only TLD guy put there by KTM and he is leaving for triump next year.
