Fun fact about helmet mohawks, I worked at Cycle Gear from 2006-11, and out of over 16,000 active SKU's across 100+ stores, the Blue colored helmet mohawk was like the 8th best selling item by volume.... and no I never bought one.
The thing I can't get over with spoke skins is not only do they look cheesy as hell.....they also make your bike handle worse.

I bought a bike from the owner of spoke skins and see them at the races all the time. His grandson races the same series my kid does. While I don't condone running spoke skins they are nice people and he said it funded their racing and riding for years until people started selling knockoffs from China..
That’s a bingo.
Looks like he ran out . The cylinder and pipe look bare. The unfinished Cylinder and then the black crosses just ruin it for me.
I think that you can do a powder coated frame and coat everything and it can look good. But Factory teams almost never do stuff like that. So while you could argue the dorky, its still not Factory looking.
All of it.....
DV ran a similar combo on his Factory YZ250. I don't remember if he ran a PC pipe with FMF silencer or the way you are doing it. But its been done on a factory bike.

I envision the same level of fury from the single track guys in the desert getting passed on super technical single track sections or whooped out sand sections on pure MX bikes set up for the track. I never have understood the inferiority complex the off-road-only guys have for track riders. I mainly ride MX about 80% and some single track at ~20%, like both well enough. I never knew about the feelings toward track riders until I became more of a MX rider. Can't we all just get along??? BTW - the offroad guys I ride with are super cool, they just have this thing against tracks for some reason.
That's funny you say that because I worked at a local shop when the mohawks were still popular and we couldn't keep up with the demand. They would sell quicker than we could stock them. Come to think of it, blue did seem to be the most popular color.
Bingo. A good friend of mine that just got into moto is the perfect example to a T of a Spode but I don’t bag in him or hold it against him what so ever because I’m just happy to have another person to ride with and his pure ness is refreshing and an eye opener in some ways
he rocks some weird ass gear combo, his visor way too low because it’s all busted up, does bar humps over his favorite jumps, absolutely loves the metal mulisha and all black bikes
But what’s important is that he absolutely loves motocross and has so damn much fun just doing his thing not giving two shits about what others think
I don't even take my license plate off. I have found that if you pass someone and you have a license plate and brake lights, once you get a small gap they will give up very quickly.

I’m an off road only guy…and I believe that, for the most part, if you are fast on a moto track (talking A and fast B guys), you will be fast off road…but just because you are fast off road doesn’t mean you’ll be fast on a moto track.
I have a ton of respect for moto guys….especially fast ones. When I look down the A line and see bikes no hang guards, and stock tanks…I just assume there are going to be a few extra fast guys in the race. Their only down fall could be endurance (since they aren’t used to 2-3 hour races…but the speed will be there).
Now, I think a slow moto guy, will be slower off road. But I think a slow off road guy will be faster on a moto track….
Damon Huffman ran an FMF pipe with a PC silencer on a factory KX125 in 96 or 97.
I think dorky is too many bolt ons, like plastic frame guards, handguards are dorky, fork seal skins, and obvious ebay brands like Kodiak anodized parts etc. oh yeah Tusk parts waaaay dorky in my opinion
Looks like that could be a 'Revenge' type of thing.
Back in the 70s, there was a family that lived right by our local Tracks, that had a lot of conflict within it ( between brothers).
One brother did such a thing as this 'Red Rockstar'. To his brothers bike.
The other Brother, practiced flipping matches for a while. When he got good at it, he flipped a match at his brothers open gas tank, and, despite it being said a flame into liquid has little chance of causing a fire, well, it must have had enough "gas" in the air, to go BOOM.
Thing is, the 'flickers' own bike, and the rest of the families, were in the same garage, and, it all went up!
Angry buggers, and decidedly dumb, were said brothers.

It's not that it's difficult to bleed forks with a screwdriver. I just find that with the bleeders, I bleed them far more often.
Without the bleeders, I'll bleed my forks once at the beginning of the day.
With bleeders, I bleed them before every session.
It seems convenient, but doesn't this create a lot of pressure on those small bolts, and the aluminum they thread into?
Pinstripes around numbers. Weird background colors. Grey bikes. Spider grips.
Nope, no problems whatsoever, use the bottom triple clamp bolts and live happily ever after
You just described one of my really good riding friends to a T. The all black plastics, bar jumps, metal mulisha sticker, and t shirt gear combos, because apparently a Jersey it too hot??? 😂
When I got my 2019 CRF450X…box stock…tires and all…
Took it to Pala and raced it at a Road to Mammoth race: took 2nd.
The tm guide and slider are legit parts. I put over 200 yz250 hrs on then when I was younger. Kinda noisy
Don't forget the guys with grab handles cut out of the airbox covers, hacked up black plastic, seat foam shaved down to 1/8'' thick, every square inch of what's left of the plastic covered with skulls fire and skateboard stickers doing no footers over every jump, and then dog paddling around the corners like it's the first time they've ridden
Running heavy duty tubes.
I always assumed that the dude that showed up with his honda, red gear, red helmet, red gloves, red goggles, red/white boots...everything matchy-matchy...was the squid.
Color coordination between gear and bike is some weird-ass try-hard shit to my eyes, but what do I know? What if I race two bike brands in the same weekend?
