If Wolsink's USGP bike went for $70k at Mecum earlier this year, what do you suppose this thing would sell for?

A pretty penny no doubt. In other news, Ronnie Mac should buy this The Man steed...Smile

Quite a lot of the rest of the World has introduced equivalency, or is in the process of doing it.

Will FELD and MX Sports ever catch up? I think they are too much under the thumb of a few, especially one, manufacturers.

4 strokes no longer (well, for Years now) need their own 'handicap class ' rules.

There's no need to 'kill' the 250fs - just make for equivalency in capacity, and let the cards fall as they may.

This.

It's not like privateers on 250t's were ever going to beat teams riding 250f's.

Privateers get a cheaper option.
Mfg's can still market their thumpers.

Who doesn't win in this scenario?

Totally agree with these 2 posts. I also agree with 95% of Roger’s opinions and decisions.

No need to handicap 2 strokes out of existence any more. They survived the most ridiculous rule changes in Motorsport and still people buy them. Look at the ktm and husky 250 2 strokes. They are awesome and that is after over 10 years of not being allowed to compete under fair rules at the highest level.

Thank god for the Euro manufacturers. The Japs must hate them for ruining their plan of removing them from the sport. Great stuff!

Anybody listen to Rogers opinion on the changes to SX?

He said more about that - and seemed fairly unimpressed by them.

Yeah, that pic you posted screams Derek Flint for sure. But to me, the one Newmann posted sums up the person who truly personifies Motocross.

I wonder if the photographer of that shot will sell me a 24x36 print of that? Anyone know who owns that image?

I thought that exact same thing! I almost thought that the pic with Roger had been photoshopped. The girl in his pic looks just like Nichole. Wow , that's kinda freaky.

It's his wife. Not sure if he's still married to her or not though. Good looking women.
