Has anyone commented on why the Honda wouldn't fire up after that yard sale?? My thoughts were a battery cable may have come loose but that would be ridiculous on an amateur bike so even worse on a factory bike, but mistakes happen. Just curious. Thanks

Maybe someone here can confirm or deny, but I was told the starter on his bike wasn't working before the race, and the mechanics were seen bump starting it on the way to the starting gate.

But he didn't have any problems with the KTM. I'm sure they'll get it straightened out.
Rider error all the way.
He will be just fine.

I can find hundreds of vids of pro riders kicking like crazy after, throwing up in their helmets with poor result, not much about guys with the magic button (Yamaha and Honda in GP, KTM and Husky on both sides). However, they're quite a lot of vids of them crashing then starting the bike quickly without dropping a single drop of sweat.
BTW, this moto was heroic. First this, then the shifting by hand over the triple at MEC, much much respect for Ryan!

The damn things are $8849 plus $695 for estart and $300 labor for estart installation. After tax its $10,068 out the door. And that's if you can find one. Every dealer is sold out. This is without hydro clutch, holeshot device, hour meter,etc. Plus the bike is 15lbs heavier than the KTM. No deals to be found on this bike.
