Is Mike going to be racing the GP?

Interesting race tonight, good mix of guys who don't often race together. Looks to have been an impressive performance from Forkner? Is he faster than AC was?

He sure as hell all most got Hayes, and Hayes couldn't of been slowing down much because Forkner was right there...

Faster then AC? who knows yet... Forkner keeps it on 2 wheels...

Kenny claimed RC and tickle would be on "stock" bikes and not their team bike. Those don't look very stock

Sounds silly but I can remember a few times where riders have said Stock–and by that they mean every bolt on part imaginable.

You can see just from the pictures. Forks, shock, and wheels give it away pretty bad.

Funny thing is, a couple years ago I overheard kenny on a plane saying they would be factory Suzuki next year. I came on here and said a little birdie told me this. Guy B said I was full of it and kenny went on pulp and basically said it was all a lie. He also said the bikes would be stock this weekend just like RC's bike was "stock" suspension last weekend. Anybody could take one look at the bike and know it wasn't stock haha. Nothing against Watson, but don't lie about this crap. Call a spade a spade, they just let their B rider pocket 12,000 in purse money with a "stock" bike to level the field on a self promoted race. Love it

On another note. Forkner is the real deal. Kid grew up just a couple hours away from me and is still humble and nice as hell. He is talented, smart, and hard working. His practice times out at GH were equal to tickle on his 450 on average. Pretty impressive.

Tickle was 3 seconds faster on the stock bike. He rode the team bike to give everyone a chance.

Broc didn't want to race a stock bike. On that track, I don't blame him.

Stock my ass! "To keep it fair" right? Tickles bike has full on factory suspension straight out of a first glance...God knows what else isn't STOCK on that bike, to me it looks like he straight up used his factory race bike.way to go Watson .... Granted there were some good dudes racing but I think he should've ridden a more STOCK bike since everyone else ride something STOCK based as he whooped up on some prjvateers

Stock no doubt I don't blame him. But riding what appears to be his race bike... Was he worried about alessi or something?

I really don't see the point of people complaining that he used his race bike. If someone on the team said he was supposed to, sounds like they spoke too soon or didn't check with Broc.

I don't care that they did... I don't think it'd make a difference to anything but Tickle's safety if he rode a stock bike or not. He'd have still won, just might have had some sketchier (is that even a word?) moments and put himself more at risk.

It is funny to say they're on stock stuff tho, like who cares? When I was a kid I couldn't wait to see what the pros would run, even if it was a Fair race!

I'm not complaining, I don't really give a shit actually.

Only reason I give a tenth of a fuck is because Kenny opened his mouth and promised Matthes these things on a pulp show. Why even bother to say it if it's bullshit?

Track should be great. Got a little rain around 6 but it's only going to make the race better. I think you will be surprised with how good the track is! It's what monster cup should be, it has a great hybrid mixture of MX and sx. One really really big gap over the first turn and a whoop section that's really good for the guys just getting off the Mx season. It's going to be a great night, last night was welcome week for all the frat/ sorority houses and I heard the majority of people down university and Washington are gonna be there. One word, girls. And lots of them Smile
Come on...someone has to have photos of the sorority talent!!!!!!! Post some pics.
