In 2008 Chad Reed signed a two year contract with Susuki one of his highest paid sponsors. Then at the begging of his Susuki contract his best friend Andrew Mcfarlane had died of a motocross accident. Then Chad called his agent and told him to get out of his contract and switch to Kawasaki. Then when he switched to Kawasaki for a two year contract this was his highest paid sponsor and he got out of this cause he got sick with a really bad virous and had a kid.
