I read on another board that 800 may get some factory support, but only gets the bike on race days.

he should tell Factory Suzuki to stick their support up their ass

he's doing this on sub-par equipment and still kicking everyones ass not named Ryan Dungey (and sometimes named Broc Tickle and Jake Weimer)

also, i think it's awesome he's riding the black MCR bike

On the buds creek broadcast Weege said Alessi is running STOCK forks. Stock. As in just adjusting clickers. Why would he say that? There is nothing stock about them and he knows it. Then Fro chimed in and said Broc Tickle is also on STOCK forks riding for a non factory team. A kit Pro Circuit Bones tuned is stock? Why would he say that? Weege also said Dungey is living/riding at RC's farm. Is this also incorrect?

I'll tell you one thing that just become stock on Alessi's bike for next year.... the rear fender.

Bullshit on the forks though.

Take out the word stock, and replace it with production. Would that make you feel better?

I think by stock they are really saying not kit forks as in Showa A kit. Although, I thought that Bones said that Tickle has been testing the new Showa SFF Air forks. I don't know why Alessi wouldn't be running kit forks. They aren't that expensive.

In the past I've talked to guys who actually preferred the flex characteristics of the product stuff over the A kit. I thought that was the case with Mike as well.

Larry Ward I believe was the same way when he was with Suzuki.
I think Lee said on Pulp a couple weeks back that Larry preferred the stock/production forks so that is what they ran.

Isn't Windham one of the guys who uses B kit (essentially super modified stock components) forks? I thought that I read essentially what you are saying but that he ran an A kit shock because he kept bending shafts. It may well be the case with Mike. Maybe he can clear that up for us.

I guess just chalk it up to announcers with nothing worth saying just pulling shit out of their ass. Stock or production is the same thing. Pro circuits forks are not stock or production and Fro knows it, So does Wege. As long as they both know the entire moto community laughs at their inaccuracies I'm good with it.

I think Tickle's forks are tricker than the PC KX250F's A Kits.

Then with SFF SHOWA:: http://motocrossactionmag.com/Main/News/WE-RIDE-BROC-TICKLES-PRO-CIRCUI…

Now SFF AIR SHOWA: He running air forks.





http://www.motocross.com/features/pcs-bones-talks-showa-air-fork/

Yeah..... those are production!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been analyzing times. Alessi is extremely fast in the first few laps. He has a lot of volatility compared to other front runners at the end of the race. Is it focus? fitness? Shock and forks fading?

Alessi's ride:

That Justin Bateman dude is on point, those guys with foreign accents know moto, Seriously I wish Mike's motor guy would chime in again that dude is a monster tuner! I dig him in a manly way. That bike looks awesome.

The only reason Alessi fades is not because of his equipment, he over trains! I see it in boxing all the time.

I love seeing him kicking almost everyone's ass with a grass roots program!

Windham ran works forks this year. In the past the Geico team ran production/modified forks.

The heads are being cnc ported to a desighn I ron Hamp desighned The heads first go to Hi Tec welding in plymouth Michigan and have the ports welded they are then shipped off to a 5 axis cnc machine after porting they go to CT racing and have the seats installed and the valve job performed .that should about cover it.

A little off topic. Why did Jeff Alessi just buy a new bike? I thought he was a MCR rider?
