Two stroke taliban jihadists..buy what you want and shut up.
how about you don't generalize and throw all those descriptions into the same hat. if you want to bitch about tattoos, take a fucking look around you. turn on the tv and look at all the players in the NBA and NCAA basketball. look at all the players in college and NFL football.
it's not just moto-bros that get tattoos, they are not a trashy lifestyle moniker any more.
sorry for the rant, but i'm just sick of people trashing anyone with a tattoo.
i understand that you don't care for them, and that's your right, but don't lump everyone in with the same shit headed generalization.
She's every Bro's dream
Mmmmmmmm... Meg!.
2. The appalling lack of critical though. God forbid you might be wrong.
3. Everyone's a pro wannbe. Holy hell, you aren't and won't ever be.
4. Covering a flat field with jumps and calling it a "motocross track".
5. Taking a nice varied piece of terrain, covering it with man made jumps and calling it a "motocross track".
6. Anyone that doesn't say please and thank you.
Troy, Ohio was basically a supercross track on steroids of the 90s and now the 00's have Freestone but there isnt even that many big jumps..just big tables. It's not a bad track but its basically just a flat piece of land in the middle of Texas.
Pit Row
In this case the 4stroke has led to the demise of my riding area.
Thanks
Now, some of the really fast guys back then would be on four strokes but would typically get shit starts because of the four stroke start routine.
As you probably know, when you are out there racing you can typically hear if someone is catching you or if you are catching someone else. The first couple times I got caught by guys on four strokes I could hear them coming from a lot further back then the guys riding two strokes. I mean alarmingly far back. Just like the guys who I would catch on four strokes. It was like, wtf? I can hear this guy getting louder and louder but I haven't caught up to him yet. It seemed like not too long after hearing the two stroke buzz the guy would be in sight ahead of you or you could look back and see them.
I am not an expert on how sound travels but it was very alarming the first few times I experienced this. Four stroke sound carries a lot further compared to two stroke sound out there. Not sure if it is due to your helmet dampening some of the different pitch coming from two strokes or what, but that four stroke sound really carries.
Sherwood, since your so smart, please elaborate..
I've seen fads & phases, air-cooled & water-cooled, 2 strokes & 4 strokes, drum brakes and disc brakes, right side up forks & upside down forks, steel tanks, aluminum tanks, plastic tanks, open face helmets & full face helmets, all white riding gear and black riding gear, yellow then white then blue Yamahas, and a host of countless things in this sport.
I could easily spend a couple days listing everything I've seen change or come and go...
Except one constant I've seen in 35+ years that never fails no matter the year or the location that I've raced is also my number one complaint. Since the soap box is right in front of me, I will get on it and complain about my one thing moto could do without...
Here we go-
1. You get into the pits and get a primo spot that seems to be just off to the far edge of the track and pits. The "perfect spot" so to speak.
2. Practice starts and you cant believe nobody has parked next to you.
3. You return after practice to find you have a new pit neighbor.
4. Nobody else seems to be around except for a kid partially dressed in racing gear trying in futility to get his KX60 started.
5. Once the kid finally gets the bike started, he proceeds to rip holeshots alongside your pits and/or hold the throttle wide open.
6. Throughout the riders meeting and throughout the day over the loadspeakers, the promotors warn of the evils and consequences of "pit riding".
7. Despite the warnings and great threats made, rarely if ever does the promotor or anyone from the track come and bust the kid, locate the parents, or take any sort of action.
I've seen this scenario play out countless times. I like how its frequently a KX60/65, how the kid doesn't seem to be entered in the days actual race, and how the parent(s) seem to eventually emerge from somewhere with a cooler of empty sud cans.
Sometimes the scenario is the same, but the "kid" has been replaced by a hillbilly on a CR500 ripping holeshots and roosting all over the pits.
Besides being forced to take matters into your own hands, the only saving grace is when the "kid" or the "hillbilly" eventually find the patch of wet grass or eventually loop out and land on their asses from attempting a failed throttle over-rev and clutch popping manuever!
Sorry if I was not clear so let me explain there bro. I am not against people that have tatoos! However there seems to always be this group of people that meet ALL the criteria i described (not just tatoos) and want to make sure that everyone in the parking lot notices them. These guys dont race and barely know how to ride a bike. But yet they will have a cool MX4LIFE license plate and some tattoo of piston on there arm. Then it seems like these types of goons (again meeting the criteria above) are always getting kicked out of the track for racing in the parking lot. And the best part is when they are on the track they are nothing but trouble cause they ride so out of control! Does this make more sense?
