Can you imagine how bad Dangerboy would beat him if he was there? He’s the new GOAT bro.

It’s 100% the Munn racing ktm he’s been racing since last year. We got black plastics for it and then threw some of the triumph look to it. Trying to keep his sponsor and employers happy. But not a single place on the bike does it say triumph. Graphics, motor, frame etc. Some of you just like to talk when you have zero clue. I guess I did my job pretty well to fool you all.2023 Mike Brown %5BTriumph LE%5D Full Kit

Agreed.  Nobody was hiding this and Kevin Kelley even called it out specifically in the 40+ moto 2.  No conspiracy here although it seems many want there to be.

Actually it is, you should see if you can beat all those 9-5ers. Btw MB3 is a 9-5er now, just a fast one.

this discussion is the most surprising thing, to me, about the 2024 edition of the Loretta Lynn's Amateur National.......

lots of kids are playing now the future of the sport in america, lots of things to address about it..... but the most discussed subject of the race is the bike of a 50 year old vet.......

The difference being Mike’s job is putting in 30s with Swoll and his competition are in attics fixing HVAC units? Ya, slightly different lol


For the record: I don’t think HVAC Dave could go spend a summer at Aldons and beat brownie at Loretta’s. Mike is a bad dude, that’s why this is comical to me.

Must be satisfying to beat 2nd by over 30 seconds and pretty much lap the rest of the field. Must feel like Jett out there

Thankfully he had a 450, might have only won by 15 seconds without it

How does giving a KTM a triumph look keep his sponsors and employers happy?

I actually don't know why Brown doesn't race 40+ and Pro Sport like Short did.   I think it's awesome seeing the vet superstar guys battling with the kids.   I'm not sure what he gets out of lapping up to 4th in 50+.

I apologize 


Edit* thankfully he was on a 350, might have only won by 20 seconds without it


Point being, seems like it would have made a lot more sense to be on a triumph 250, instead of riding a different brand and attempting to look like the triumph

Exactly, especially if the rumors of him wanting to race a National are true

💯 he would still destroy the 50+ class on a 250 and chances are he would still be on the podium if not still win +40

You'd THINK riding a Triumph 250 and still winning against a bunch of larger displacement bikes would be the best advertising....is he THAT slow on a 250?

Well considering he’s a past 125 champ I’m pretty sure he could get along pretty good on a “small bore”

Because he has a deal with a ktm/husky/gasgas dealer, not a triumph dealer….

I know if I was Triumph I would not be happy. I love how the whole industry berates fans when they say anything negative about Mike cherry picking yet when Windham says the same thing on the pulp show it’s crickets.
