Jeff, we all know how difficult it is to admit we are wrong. You did the right thing, coming clean about this. Your family and your true fans will stand behind you no matter what. You, just like all of us, are HUMAN. You made a mistake, you owned it, and now you'll learn from it. We wish you only the best of luck. We love ya'!

I'd be embarrassed to admit some of the stupid shit I did in my early 20's, didn't make me a bad person though.

I hope it works all works out for you in the end, it did for me!

All i can say is if this was the first time maybe turn a cheek and be thankful for them owning up to this. But come on now how many times is the type of thing with this family going to happen over and over again? If he never got caught would be so sorry? I am done just pissed off about it.. Tony raised them right...

No worries.

You took Ownership of your actions & you'll have to hear a bit of shit from the "Holier than Thou" crowd. Just ride it out. You've got things back on track.

For the record: I, personally, think you're not a bad guy. I've done too many stupid things to list. Just about everyone has.

Thanks for "Owning It"...

Jeff.........

I think about 99% of the dudes on here came down on you pretty hard....and I was one of them. Wasn't sure if we would ever hear an apology or not.....but there it is.

I'm not Steve Matthes , Davi Coombs , your borther , Mike G or anyone else that it affected.....but from where I sit.....big props to you for coming clean!

Sure..........you shouldn't have done it in the first place BUT.......it takes a big man to come onto a public forum and apologize.

Good job dude , and I hope everything works out for you and you get your life back on track. If I knew you personally....my advice would be to get back on a bike and start training your ass off and leave all this other bullshit behind.

Good job Jeff! I know if Tony was my father, I'd be scared too Wink

For those trying to diminish his apology by trying to nitpick it's authenticity; Really? FFS!

Lets hope Mr. Genova doesn't throw it all out the window by ending the series now, two wrongs won't make that right!!

Highly doubt it. Why should they? It will get worse before it will get better. Jeff will have to bear this one out.

If you have ever watched this family in person it is a clusterfuck. Tony has been a Psycho moto dad from the beginning. It's time to set your father free Mikey. Maybe then you will see your professional career develop and a bonus not have your father eyeing your girl any more....a little creepy.

Great job, Jeff.

For all of you people who want to blast Jeff about who authored this, keep it to yourselves. ANYONE in the position he was in would be a fool not to have every wordsmith and ally helping to craft this document. The fact that he took a couple days and then got help with it is the perfect first sign that he means what he says about thinking before acting.

Way to go, Jeff.

That had to be a hard mistake to correct, but I'm glad you made the effort.

Great apology except for this: "I had no intent to harm either rider or affect their results. "

The whole reason he did it was to distract RV's start.

Nicely done Jeff, way to own up to it finally.
But oh boy did your dad go off the deep end last night on the Pulp show.

Bingo

Nice post.

Nay-Sayers can suck it.

I'm going to say this only once: I'm of the opinion that Jeff is falling on the sword for the Team. I'm giving him my respect for that.

I've always liked this guy. I've seen him do some great things and help people in VERY Hard-Times & situations.
