If "BobbyM" was in your thread title, we would already have the pics posted up by now Jay.

I thought you said BobbyM was right and Mike was injured?

No problem. Ya, it sounded like a 250f and I also didn't notice any linkage that the 350s have.

150 lbs. of solid muscle must heal reasonably well, I'd think?

No I said he was right and he got the Helicopter ride out after the crash.

The video proved he was not 100% , but we all know that wasn't for Bobby it was for the people paying the bills at the time.

Great video.

One thing I have always noticed about Mike's riding style which is dam near perfect and I meant to post a thread about this but I have never seen Mike really use the scrub when hauling and hitting jumps. I know a lot of riders use it some are effective and some are for show but Mike doesn't seem to do it very much if at all?

actually there are quite a few pics of Pourcel scrubbing and if you take a look back on your TIVO at last years nats you will see him scrubbing when it suits him and makes sense. Dungey is much the same and scrubs when he thinks its a clear advantage.

As to MA's style, i disagree, he looks like a rag doll hanging on for dear life a lot of the time. He gets it done for the most part but with no real "style".. IMO

The 350 has been a fairly horribly kept secret. I know of one journalist who was at Glen Helen a week or so ago, and the part of the KTM test crew showed up, unloaded the bike, stepped away for a while, and then protested loudly when they discovered photos were being shot.

No, it wasn't me.

I would expect that we'll hear more about the bike fairly soon.

Yamaha did a large percentage of the 2010 450 testing in So. Cal., but they did it during private rental days. How many leaked photos did we see of that one? Outside of the computer monitor shot?

Yes he was there today, no he wasn't on the 350 (although I heard he might be on it next week), and yes I have pictures. I will try to post them after I help my son with his homework......

Isn't Alessi's deal through KTM Europe?
If it is i wonder why the bike has FMF and not Akropovic on it you would expect it to be an MX2 based bike unless it is a left over from this years US based KTM team

No intensity? Just seems like Mikey is taking it easy or he is not confident in his scooter????
