This is somewhat related...but did we ever find out who won the JGR practice bikes? They did that for a few years and never even announced the winners...why do these big giveaways and never show the actual winner?

The winner is probably listed on the homepage, but I missed it. Where was the winner listed? Photos? Is it me, or was this one of the worst handled contests ever?

Thats not cool. I have not received any new calls or texts since signing up.
I got 17 spam calls in the first two weeks of August. Took a while to clean up that mess.

I don't know why, and this has only happened a few times in the last 10 years, but I always seem to get the extended warranty calls. The worst thing about it is that I would actually love to buy some warranty service for my junker cars, and I've actually tried to get them to sell me some, but they get so confused when I tell them I drive a 77 Land Cruiser with 115K miles.

Am I the only one wondering why this is still pinned long after a winner has been announced?

The guy who won isn't a Vital member so we won't be getting any pics, videos or ride report anytime soon unless he decides to sign up.

Huh

Because, he just received the bike and I have a video update to put together so it will be posted here. Currently, I'm busy with the 450 Shootout, so I've left this up here for now.

Btw, we're working on the next Dream Bike contest...we'll be kicking it off early next year.

Not a 2 stroke? Might have to enter that contest since my odds just went up.

2018 RMZ 450, YZF 450 or CRF 250? Those are my guesses since all 3 are new.

Also, still not receiving notifications when someone quotes my posts and the setting is turned on. I'm not the only one experiencing those issues. Not sure what's causing it.

Saw the dream bike in person last night at Oak hill raceway here in N. Texas. The winner was racing in Oak Hills night series. Raced the same class as my son and was lined up on the gate next to him for both motos. Really nice guy. Bike had 3.9 on the meter and looked pretty nice.

Sorry, didn't take any pics. I didn't even realize it was the bike until the 2nd moto when my son pointed it out. I had a minute or two to bs with the guy before the start. That's it. I wasn't going to bother the guy too much about it right before the gate drop.

You never know!

My son found his instagram. He's got some pics of the bike and a video of the start of the second moto....

He's not a Vital member but he definitely rides moto. Looks like he upgraded from a 2007 YZF to this TC 250.

Take a look at the video on that instagram account. He almost loops it out of the start.

The bike is truly a “dream” it’s smooth, power delivery is awesome, and HOLY CRAP... that thing is so mean! I got away from the 2-strike and was really digging the 4-strokes and before i rode the Husky i thought there is no way i would be able to go back to riding 2-strokes but after a couple laps on it, my mind got changed pretty quick! Bike is AMAZING!

Pro and cons.... tons of pros and honestly there is only 2 cons, having to mix the oil (witch all 2-strokes you do) and the top end. To replace the top end i have to custom order a piston kit from Wiseco then i have to send the piston off to Millennium Technology and have them machine down the piston to fit the cylinder, then i have to order these custom copper o’rings that Millennium made for the head (witch the copper o’ring wasn’t on it when i got the bike, was having issues with the head sealing causing it to push out the coolant so i send the cylinder and head to Millennium and they added the special copper o’ring) so you can’t just order a top end kit off line or at dealer it all has to be custom machined but for what the bike is it’s not a big problem for me I’ll just have a top end kit made for and on hand for when it’s time to replace.
Other than that the bike had no other cons besides it making everyone hate me ??? Cool

Iv rode the DreamBike at several different tracks and iv had ALOT of people come up and ask me about it and congratulate me on it, and just to answer a question some of you may have... YES i let people ride it! The bike was free to me... yes i drove 23 hrs to California to pick it up but other than that the bike was free, and i know there is ALOT of people that dream about riding it so i decided to just let anyone that is a rider out on the track riding there bike, If they come ask to ride it I’ll let them.
