What about AXO? Is that pronounced axe-o?

I have no idea, we just always said A.X.O.

I have always called it axe-o, I’ve actually never heard it pronounced a.x.o

It's probably just an acronym, like Thor is Torsten Hallman Original Racegear.

There’s 90,s cr,s on fb with TUF racing seat covers & graphics.  I ordered a 87 cr blue seat cover from TJ . With TUF. On it to freak people into thinking TUF racing is back.   When I called TJ the  guy said he was working on a TUF racing sticker.  

I’ve got some old TUF stickers from when I worked there. I can hand deliver them to you if you show up to the RacerX vet series at Millville or Redbud.

Love it! Awesome you kept them whether you can fit in them or not. Bradshaw with the original Shoei VFX and AXO gear was the epitome of cool

Seriously where the hell did they get that word from? Acerbic is a real word pronounced uh-sir-bic, but idk where tf they got acerbis from and pronounce it the way they do.

Easy…the founders name is Franco Acerbis

And C makes a “Ch” sounds in Italian.


Think “cheese”

That’s why Ciao sounds like “chow”
