I wouldn’t call you a “prick” you just seem super unaware of how things actually work. 

Lol.  Okay, go buy him one then.  Then you can resell it.

Yo mate. I brought as much as I could. Suspension, tank, grips, gear,sprockets, also my own ECU, but it runs different in the heat and humidity, unfortunately we can’t replicate the temprature and stuff in Europe. Also my bike in Europe has all different parts on it, that makes the temperatures on the bike different.. I feel like I prepared pretty good. Maybe not as prepared as the 16 guys in front of me in the overall, but at least I might have the most fun. Thanks for the positives by the way  Smile  

just enjoy it man, Corey is just tying to help where he can. He isn’t forcing you to give me something.. Hope I at least make you smile a bit by coming over and trying things out of my comfort zone .

Good luck man. I'm in Texas and wish I could help you out. Don't worry about what a couple of idiots have to say. Will be watching Saturday and hopefully you find what you need.

Lekker- cooL,rad. My Mom is from Holland also.  I do A lot of trucking in the northeast . That area had a lot of rain lately. The track might be mushier - deeper. Great for a sand rider. Hopefully the wild fire smoke doesn’t come into the area for the race again. But if it does it’s Nasty to breath.  Do a little extra cardio b4 the race. To get your lungs stronger. And Good Luck.

Sounds like he was having problems with the stock ECU overheating.It would only be worse at Southwick especially if it rains.

GL, will be rooting for you.

That’s extremely generous of you. I’ll cover the ECU. Maybe consider contributing that to Lars and the gang? The privateer life ain’t easy! Laughing
If they have a Venmo or some other means of receiving donations without having to pay fees…that would be awesome. 

Thnaks again.

Thanks 👍, following your lead, it'll be tight for the weekend, so good luck !.

I flipped Lars an email.

I liked the story and yeah privateer is tough, even less of a cushion if things go wrong as well.

If anyone is interested, Lars finished up the Privateer Island Podcast today with Steve Matthes. Give it a listen to learn a little more about him and what we have going on while he is here.

Manny you, sir, are a gentleman. I don't know Lars, but I do know I've been in situations at the track when my son was racing and we've had people come and help us. That's a true moto thing there. Thank you on behalf of moto fans everywhere.

Kudos to all who’ve actually moved to help Lars go after his dream…with finances, shipping & providing necessary parts. Coolest thing I’ve seen on Vital in years. Good to be a part of this “family”.

And, good luck Lars! Show them how to ride that Southwick sand!

Thank You for making the trip. Get as much rest as possible and have yourself hydrated to the point you are peeing every 10 mins. Its going to be humid one at the Wick.

Super cool story. If anyone hasn’t listened to his interview with Matthes, you need to. Such a likable guy and fun attitude towards the sport! And the showpony films deal on youtube from last year too was good.

Good luck at Southwick and Gopher Dunes Lars!
