BE VERY CAREFUL about buying things from that team on eBay. My dad purchased pro circuit cams from davi's rmz450 through eBay and a guy that was supposedly affiliated with the team. 1 cam was correct..... The other was for a 250f.... Totally got screwed.
Wouldn't give a refund, wouldn't respond, quit eBay I believe.... Total shit show. Just be careful...
Not to bang on that team, they seem great from top to bottom.... But....there is just a guy who has access to team parts you should avoid.
The Shop
That's a far cry from SX/mx though
Some of the factories do use a loan pool system for media and amateur bikes. I've also seen some team practice bikes go through this system. Those bikes would actually have VINs and an engine that belongs to that frame.
So the number of actual bikes used is very hard to truly keep track of, this depends on timeframes for parts changes from team to team.
Practice bikes, I have no idea, didn't ask about those.
Pit Row
From what I'm reading of these posts, the factory race bikes rarely leave the semi intact, only at race events?
The bike, after the event gets torn down to the frame, with the motor going out, the suspension reworked/shimmed/fluids etc by the race mechanic to spec. Then drive to next event, pick up fresh motor(if there's not one already in trailer, assemble and go?
Thanks for your input, I and obviously others are interested. Maybe because u are in the position you are in, could you find out some things about practice bikes? Not gonna hold you to whatever info you find out if you can, but just interested. Hope it's not so top secret that mortals like me will never know!
Good runs on msm2 btw!!! Ive got some work to do (as geoforceracingdad told me!) haha
Thanks again man
