Love the red plate, dislike the rest of the graphics.

Something tells me that there will be plenty of time this season to get pictures of the red plate #3

Looks like he running an wideband O2 sensor. That's typical for tuning/practice but if he's running it on his race bike that might mean he's running closed loop, that's NOT typical but very cool from a performance perspective.

Looks nice and I think he will keep it for a while.

But agreed I don't like those style of side panels on any bike either.
Getting to old maybe.

Dungey says it looks like there's too much red on the bike, says he's going to help Eli adjust the color scheme on his bike. Ryan's thinking it could use a little more white around the number plate area.
Ha Ha.

Don't anyone get all pissy with me, just screwing around for you serious types.

Cool indeed. I'm pretty sure that's on his race bike as team Honda was running O2 sensors during SX as well

Tomac is one of my favorite riders, and I've always been partial to Honda, but I think my 10 year old, if given a blank canvas, could do a better job with the look of that bike. Happy he has the red plate, though. Even the red plate that awkwardly runs down the side of the bike.

I can't stand the Geico graphics. They are hideous and i hope that no one with a Honda buys them.

Compare the Geico bike to an HRC bike.

As much as people say the riders and teams really like the red plate, I just never will. Always have thought it looks ugly.

This sport needs more money and outside sponsors.

But don't you dare put your logo on the bike you're sponsoring. Unsure

I agree with you but I do think that it looks badass on a honda. Same with arenacross and the green plates, they're hideous but they can look ok on a Kawi.

I also don't get the arguments for having a different color for the poibts leader. When I was new to this sport I was 5 years old and I never had a problem remembering who had the points lead and I'm not some super genius.

The other arguments I've heard is that sponsors really line them, but I don't see how it helps in a commercial.

I'd like to, but I've welched on so many bets, and changed my account so many times already, I think I might be running out of chances. OK, what the hell, he's due for at least two bad starts and maybe a "tip over" or two anyway.

I would instruct my 10 year old that she has to leave the Geico logos in place, she will still do a better job. It has nothing to do with the logos.
