It's grown so boring and predictable. I'm tired of the same old intro's, pyrotechnics, podium interviews, t-shirt cannons, Monster girls (well, maybe not completely tired of them), pit party montages and race format; I'm tired of the start determining ... more »

Added reply in a thread chaparral-opinions please 2/22/2013 10:33 PM
I guess my expectations are a bit lower than most of the responders to this post, because I do believe that customer service is dead in America, so when I go to any business I expect shitty service and I'm rarely disappointed. But in Chaparral's defense, ... more »

Another great job by Dan Crower. Our 2013 KX250F has about 40 hours so I dropped it off at Dan's shop for a top end inspection, new piston, etc and while he was in there Dan did a "mild" grind on the cams. Pretty good bump for a basically stock bike

Definitely give them a call. I liked the look of James' seat and some of the work Travis did for Weston Peick, so I e-mailed Travis asking about a gripper seat cover with colored ribs. 2 days later it's at my door and only $10 more than a standard seat ... more »

Since I'm so fond of saying customer service is dead in America I think it's only fair that I acknowledge the great service and products from these guys. I've purchased a couple seat covers from them and am very impressed with the quality, fit and finish. ... more »

Added reply in a thread Something new to talk about...Cianciarulo on a 250f 9/12/2012 11:53 AM
Perhaps my expectations are set a bit high by all the coverage this kid gets, but he just doesn't appear to be that fast in person. We get to see him ride often, including last week on a 250F at Milestone where there were plenty of current National 250F ... more »
Added reply in a thread If it wasn't true, you'd have to laugh 8/1/2012 3:24 PM
Varying track conditions or not, there is no way a true Novice should be within 5 - 10 seconds a lap of a multi-time MX/SX champion. I've got a 14 year-old running Novice now and I would be thrilled if his times were within 40 seconds a lap of RC. ... more »

A letter of encouragement to a current/future client written in Sharpie on the outside of a fuel drum that the intended recipient will probably never even bother to look at. What's next, a contract written on toilet paper and signed in Crayon? ... more »
Added reply in a thread Roger speaks MXDN 7/18/2012 6:11 PM
Exactly. I'm pretty sure Roger has a good handle on Alessi's capabilities after managing him at Suzuki and KTM and I'd bet his decision is based on a bit more than just lap times or points standings. All I have to do is watch the Lakewood 2011 episode ... more »
Added reply in a thread Time for an attitude adjustment 6/2/2012 10:39 PM
I find it amusing that the same people that put up a wall between us (the fans) and them (the insiders) are now getting their feelings hurt by some content on an internet forum. In my opinion, the industry folks are getting exactly what they give: They ... more »
Added reply in a thread Going to Freestone for the first time! 4/25/2012 10:23 AM
As stated above, it's hot so you'll need plenty of water and sun screen and an e-z up is great if you want to haul it in. Umbrellas work great, as well. We've done VIP passes and didn't feel they added much other than all-day access to the ... more »
Added reply in a thread am i crazy? (2-stroke thread). 4/4/2012 2:47 PM
Personal experience on the transition from a 450 to a 250 2-stroke: About a month ago I purchased a 2012 KTM 250SX. Did all the usual mods (e.g. suspension work, pipe/silencer, etc.) and started riding a 2-stroke again for the first time in ... more »

This is exactly why we rarely race anymore. Not gas prices or gate fees or the cost of maintaining my 4 strokes, it's the 14 hour day for 8 laps.
Added reply in a thread Really Alessi? 10/15/2011 11:19 PM
Pretty unprofessional first outing for Team Alessi. From the different colored rims, the shifter problem, to his issue with Dungey, it's always something with this guy. I'm sure this will generate plenty of interest with potential sponsors. From their ... more »
