whats it to you? i swear you work for him.... trying to get a head start? he has plenty of cases to work on from what i hear. dont worry about me. as of now, no im not. think i have a reason to?
dude, i was surprised to see him without the brace on. i thought maybe he would be mad about it coming apart and maybe switch brands. i just cant imagine money coming between a rider and protective gear. lets say he couldnt come up with a helmet sponsor to give him money to wear their helmet. would he just go riding without a helmet on?
You are as wrong about my employment as you are about what caused your injury.

I just thought it was an interesting coincidence that there is a lawyer just 20 miles from you trying to drum up cases against Leatt.

I know its still way early but he looks very very tentative in these shots, especially this last one. Definately doesnt look like attack mode we are used to seeing. Hopefully RD and RD can work their magic and get this bike dialed. Wouldnt it be sweet that going into next year people will be singing the praises of riders signing with KTM instead of saying "there goes his career". I said it a few weeks ago, we will know how this Dungey/KTM marriage will be very soon. It will either be gold or dogshit by the time A3 rolls around.
Sooooo glad you can Decipher that just from a few pictures.

also, how can you draw the conclusion on my injury when you havent seen my medical records, or tested the brace to even see if it could create that kind of injury. dude, this is the wrong thread to get into this. all i know is you are wrong.

Copying and pasting 5 photo codes is easy, but clicking on one link is tiring? And I was a fly on the wall, and I heard him say he really does like it.
Perhaps lazy was the wrong word to use. Pics maketh the thread Wink

So what else did he say Mr Fly?

I picked this photo to illustrate the Fux gear. Perhaps he is tentative in this pic. If so you must beware as it is only a front. Dungey is smart, and isn't going to show the competition how hyper-fast he truly is before it is too late for anyone to fight back. Eventually, they will be so mentally beaten down due to his ass whippings that their minds will become incapacitated. Toward the end of the season, they will seek out small "wins" in an attempt to regain their mental fortitude. Wins such as "eating Dungey's roost" and "being hit in the face by Dungey's tear-offs" will be revered and appreciated on levels never before seen.

I can tell from the pics he's at least 3.2 seconds a lap slower on the KTM(Kill The Motocrosser). He's gonna have a long road ahead. Defintely won his last race!

Wrong about what?

I know 5 local guys in chairs from crashes without the Leatt. All that proves is MX is dangerous.

As far as your injury goes, you had a compression fracture of T4/5. You blamed the rear spar of your Leatt. Compression fractures of T4/5 almost always occur due to hyperflexion so, more than likely, the spar did not contribute to your injury.

Did I read you had a 2012 250sx? I've never ridden a KTM but the bikes seem pretty sweet these days. I'd like to get an RM250 or an SX for my next bike. How do you like the KTM?

Sometimes I think about the reasons I like a certain rider to do well. In RD's case I backed him initially because he grew up on the same tracks as me here in Minnesota. I occasionally wonder who would be my favorite rider if Dungey was from someplace else. I think the answer is they would probably be pretty equally liked. Really, I'm happy for anyone who does well as a pro, but happiest if it's Dungey.

Good luck figuring out what to think about the RD to KTM deal. I know you shall do what is right Wink

I don't know, he looks pensive, but deliberate in a kind of angry melancholy way. I don't think his boots fit him, and obviously he's struggling with concerns over the excessive amounts of anal in today's porn industry.

Other than that, he looks solid

Yeah, I tend to root for the NC boys a little too.

I have an 2009 250sx, bought it new in 2010 as a left over which is rare. I love it. I'm not sure how much better they are now, but my bike is the closest thing you can get to 4-stroke type power in a 2-stroke. They give you 3 tuning springs for the power valve and I keep the most mellow one in it, cause i'm more of a low to mid range kinda guy. Then I put a PC pipe on it and it really increased the low to mid range even more without losing much on top.

I'm not sure how the new suspension is on the 2012's, but I did need to get mine done. My suspension guy told me that they used the same valving specs on the 250SX as the 450SXF that year, so it was harsh as hell and a hand full in braking bumps. It's smooth as butter now, just as good as my YZ250F with KYB SSS stuff, if not better.

It also feels like riding a 125 because it's so light. It's my first KTM and i've owed all 4 jap brands. This bike without a doubt is the most quality built bike i've ever owned hands down.

Professor Bailey says that if you look down and can read your front number plate then you are riding far enough forward. With that said he will be fine. Oh and my still picture stopwatch actually showed his lap times are 250th of a second faster on the KToom verses the Zuke. I think we all need to synchornize our still photo stopwatches here. Shall we start a new thread or six about it? Smile
