in Moto 2 in Canada and he still gets 2nd. That has to be tough to hang on. He is having some crazy shitty luck up North.

Shoulda used the Emig bolt on grips.

Copper Webb should have as well, apparently his first moto crash yesterday ripped a grip off.

How come dirt bikes dont have lock on grips ? Most mountain bike grips do I know you have throttle etc but surely there not that different.

Are you sure people are capable of such a challenging task?

Maybe the universe changed it's course and is stabbing the family in the back. He's gonna need a lot of luck to win this series. Which looks better on the resume? 2nd overall in the Canadian series or 3rd-10th in the USA series?

Apparently I'm not.

I put grips on my daughter's bike this weekend and couldn't get those fancy pliers to spin so I just turned them by hand.

I could wind the bottom part out, but after that, it just sat there.

I have never been accused of being overly bright.

Like father like son. Tony has needed to get a grip for a long time.

Hopefully you're joking but in case you're not,you don't wind it out,you pull on it and the pliers spin.Smile

Matthes must have sabotaged those grips back when he was in the MCR pits a few weeks ago, it must be payback for Tony outing the AMA drug ring. lol

My dream rental is a Mercedes SLS which goes for a cool 1200 a day. 75 free miles (big whoop) then THREE bucks a mile but then again what do you expect when you're "only" paying 1200 bucks a day, right? LOL
