Logan Karnow has hit some hard times. His title sponsor has ghosted him. I know vital is huge and cares about the little guys so I figured I would share here!
Hope he can get his situation sorted.

That being said,
I've seen many many times, somebody with a company credit card abusing the privilege.
Not saying that's the case here, but that's the only bit of detail I picked up on.
Funny that he mentioned that bit of onfo.
🤔
Also after reading through all the instagram comments it does seem like Motozone is the shady one here.
Lastly, just made a donation to Karnow, seems like a great kid and bummed he has to deal with crap like this.

Mess for the sponsor, and you may not see it now, but also for the rider. You can bet other sponsors or potential sponsors are paying attention to this and how it goes
No one wants negative issues.
Things aren't always as black and white as one might think and no business is going to get into a pissing match on social media over what is a personal matter between two parties.

To this point all this “company” seems to be is smoke and mirrors.
Some Bro’s mouth wrote a check his bank account couldn’t cash and unfortunately for Karnow he bet his season on it. This’ll be the last we hear of this clown show company, whatever it is, stamp it.
Ive sponsored a few shit box racecars locally and before my name went on the car the cash had to be in the drivers/managers hand. I dont get what happened here.
Are privateer "title" sponsors that few and far between that they are desperate and have to take shady deals like this?
I don't know.
Two sides to every story, right? I'm not taking any sides and have met Logan and have helped him. We just don't know the deal between them.
Paypal and Venmo to Logan is a great idea
WTF I do to you?

Some is a lump sum up front. Especially got smaller amounts.
Some is per round.
Some is monthly.
Sometimes it’s a credit card for fuel and/or expenses.
Sometimes they book your travel.
Sometimes they buy your bikes or give you a transporter to use, etc.
Sometimes it’s one of those (or none) plus bonuses based on results.
And sometimes, as it appears in Logan’s case, it’s a promise to one or more of those and then you reap the rewards and don’t pay anything or the agreed amount.
but most guys can’t turn down the help, especially if they get a contract in writing. Although it doesn’t mean squat it seems. Keep in mind even some “well known” brands have a hard time paying full amounts, or on time, or as promised. It’s a tough world out there.
