Is a Husky on the AMA homo list?

It's from Pulp mx show. Steve calls him lobster boy. Apparently, people who race 2 strokes on the national level are just like freak shows trying to get attention.

Hey who're you calling homo...

I quickly looked around on Google but couldn't find anything. The KTM 125 is good to go though, and the Husky is pretty much the same bike so I would assume that it's fine too.

I'm rooting for him as a 2 stroke guy myself but he's bringing a knife to a gun fight, doubt he makes it into too many mains or decent results outside bottom 20. Best of luck though.

Pretty cool for the west coast. I don't of anybody that could win a local expert race against 250fs at an east coast track like millville, red bud, etc when they till the track up.

He made it into almost every race he entered last yr. I do agree though it's for sure a knife. Still a big fan! Give him a 2502 stroke! Time for some rule changes!

Good to see someone going against the grain. The sport needs more people like him.
Of course he knows people in the industry will slag him off with childish name calling, I doubt he gives a shit.

Totally agree with Matthes. There is zero point other than a good story.

I wish him the best and think it's cool, but it is still the same as taking a knife to a gun fight.

Tell that to the "rule makers".. They will tell you it's fair.

I think he does it just for fun.
Either way, the guy rips on a 125 and I love seeing him ride those bikes.

It may be taking a knife to a gun fight, but its already doing exactly what it needs to do. Draw attention.

Exactly to the second quote.

One of my best buds Eric Gillen is wrenching for him. They have been riding a lot and putting in the work. I think it's cool to shake it up with a bee in the cluster fuck of farts.

He will have more fans than any 250F rider 10 spots in front of him. Conversely, he will get zero TV or commentator time, but at least he can sleep at night knowing he earned his spot like a bamf.

If he makes more than a few mains and gets any attention at all for 2 strokes he will be instantly offered some sort of help on a bike that has a bunch of extra parts just above the piston for the following season. It has been the case every other time this has happened.

Seriously though. We need another Tshirt!

Why is everyone so scared of smokers? LOL

Stanky was the only reason I went to the nationals last year and will be why I go this year. Ill buy another shirt too, dude is awesome. Seems most people are missing the point as its mosty done for fun and he gets a lot of attention. I forget what track is was last year, but there was one he had a qualifying time for the 450 class...on a 125! If that isnt badass idk what is.

Maybe he just does it for fun and a little notoriety? I don't see the big deal
