Hey guys and girls I have obviously been seeing all the great things most have to say and that are happy for me to be back out there racing here again but I do want to let everyone know exactly what I was riding on the weekend so that they can "compare" it to a Stock bike. We will start from the ground up

Tires: Pirelli- were they better than store bought ones I dunno but they worked their asses off getting it right for me!!

Wheels: Stock

Sprockets: Vortex

Chain: RK

Suspension: Stock with the exception of Enzo revalving, no kit or factory components inside.

Clutch: Hinson: Available to anyone in MX

Oils: Kal-Guard

Motor: Store bought PC Piston, Cams, Valves and Springs. Head work done by Andrew Langston, who is NOT employed by Yamaha, but he is employed by GL

Radiators: Stock but getting PWR Oversized ones

Plastics: Stock

Graphics: Ohh were those things Factory!! Did you see those babies Sparkle?

Fuel: Ohh the great expensive VP $1,100 for 30 gallons!!!!

Bars: Vortex

So as we can see all of those products are available to you me and the next guy riding a dirtbike!! Hope that helps all that were wondering or even doubting what I was on. Thanks again to those that are supportive and looking forward to another great weekend.

Very cool. So are you saying factory bikes suck?









Just kidding. It's good to see someone running a basic bike and being competitive with it.

Keep putting in good rides and hopefully you'll get more help. You deserve it after your ride last weekend.

Gee, Hambone, I could have won on that trick bike *giggle*

I mean, you just seat on the seat, and gas it right ?

I see factories, scratchin' their asses right now wondering how to pull you in.

Good stuff.

At a press conference at the beginning of the season, Pirelli stressed that what guys here are using is what you can buy in the store. It was interesting when I went to Valkenswaard earlier this year that while Bridgestone and Dunlop have a near-total lock on the market here, they're almost invisible over there. Instead, Pirelli and Michelin dominate.

Good stuff, Sean. Do you have a transporter you drive to each round, or is your bike getting hauled around by someone else? Just curious how the logistics work for you.

Keep up the good work, man.

I think with sean working and building his own bike before the race it gave him an even bigger incentive to do well and and have a "I'll show them" attitude. That is way cool and I bet it helped him. Same with this weekend too. LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLEEEEE!

sean with some starts top 5 or 6. GET IT!
