I just came here to say the rando twitter take was spot on except he left out that KTM quit on paying their employees too.
How do Herlings, de Wolf, and Coenen bounce around Lommel and Arnhem without issue? Seems they should be able to solve this.
Does “giving your life” necessitate that one must literally die? genuinely curious.
My guess is it'll be something to do with the manufacturer rules. Those KTMs in the GPs could be almost completely different bikes under the plastics compared to what Sexton and Vialle are riding. It's one of the reasons I think Prado might be in for a surprise if he gets on the US version of the orangs bike -- it will be a long way away from what he had in MXGP. Also, the weather in Europe rarely reaches the levels of the AMA Nationals, and riders tend to run softer suspension/setups, so I guess those could also be factors

Good point....
we're talking about the shock. what are the rules MXGP vs USMX that stops KTM USA to have working shocks? Dont you want your riders to finish motos, let alone win? get some Japanese technology in there, no one would know.
@ML512 would take a picture of a washer or something and out them 😆
Nothing stopping them.
No, it doesn't but if you really think that a firefighter and pastor are in the same "giving your life' category then you are too far brainwashed by your religion. Don't disrespect firefighters like that.
In US they have two frames to chose from, I may have heard 3 in Europe. Herlings i know changes subframe (as late as last year) but that you can do in AMA also. Not main frames. Of course we don't truly know but they have been pretty transparent in interviews before when asked about it.
Would be interesting to hear an update, on who actually uses what. Herlings has been outspoken before, nothing secret at least from him.
Viałle didn't want to race his GP bike in MXoN, preferred the US bike. If it was such an advantage he would have gone back right away, specially for a MXGP track.
Weather I agree on, but you have Australian riders and US Florida riders tanking themselves, and some are fine like Jett and Hunter has been all along. It's again just individual how you handle heat and humidity. Chase took himself out for moto 2 i Florida when he was considered the best trained 250 rider. Je
When it comes to suspension, I think it's an old myth that all Europeans run softer suspension. It's individual. When TC came to US and raced he was running pretty much same fork settings as the US team uses for SX, the team themselves said. Mosiman who tested the bike said he has ridden SX suspension that was as stiff as Cairoils setup.
100% I do, all the ones I know agree too. It’s alright though - people can have different views than you without you attacking them😂😂 manbaby
That is just insane, no one else agrees with you. Also, you need to calm down pushing you religion on here. I never once attacked you. I literally pointed out that you and only you think a firefighter and pastor are the same. You clearly can't handle someone not having the same religious opinion as you, so you have gone to attacking me lol.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ I can't facepalm enough. I personally meant the Revolutionary war lol. No idea why I typed the Civil war.
“Risking” is probably more apt than “giving”, though risking your life can cost you your life (obviously - otherwise, there wouldn’t be any risk). Willingness to run into a burning building to save someone is part of a firefighter’s job description. A pastor may be dedicated to the welfare of others but risk is typically comparatively minimal (unless an old lady is pissed because someone sat in her pew). I know some fantastic people who are pastors - and some complete twits.
Well fat boy beat Clark Kent for the SX title this year so 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️😂😄😄
We somehow went from talking about Budds Creek moto 2, to historical military conflicts in less than 4 pages 😂
The pitchforks lost momentum when the issue of the shock was exposed…
Pit Row
I’m not religious nor am I pushing a religion. We have different perspectives - you were just exposed to mine and couldn’t resist commenting.
I never said they were the same, I said they both involved sacrifice in high degree (along with school teachers which for some reason you chose not to pick on?).I said it within the context of chase sexton acting like a martyr for being a pro racer.
Dude have a good night. Dont take everything so hard.
Hey, don't feel bad.
In a recent interview I saw with Ken Burns - perhaps the finest US Documentarian there has ever been - he described the War of Independence as being, in many aspects, a Civil War.
(6) Suspension. Most dedicated fans know about the production rule, but did you know that homologation is required for suspension in the 250 class? The 450 riders are allowed to run “unobtainable” works suspension, while the 250 riders are limited to stock suspension or homologated A-kit suspension that doesn’t exceed $6300 for the forks and $2500 for the shock.
(From MXA)
Yes there is. The 250 class has much tighter restrictions on the cost of suspension and it basically has to be available to the public for sale.
MX2 class doesn’t have such restrictions so highly likely there is not much in common between the suspension in MX2 and AMA 250.
You should spend less time on this website. You brought up a religious profession, if you're not religious then why would you even think of that? As for the teacher, that is also just as stupid. So, someone dealing with kids is automatically "putting their life on the line"? AND it's comparable to firefighters.
I called you out on some outrageous thing you said, and YOU couldn't handle it lol.
Also, "it's not a dick, don't take it so hard"
There is a rule yes, but how much is it enforced? Anybody seen any 250 suspension getting stripped down, ever?
They have gotten around that before with forks so the rule isn't stopping any factory who wants to run it unless AMA has tighten the loopholes last couple of years.
52mm factory forks was used in 250 class and was made available to the public but you had to buy minimum 3 of them and had to sign service agreements. Basically none wanted them with that offer.
I brought up very selfless professions that require lots of sacrifice on multiple levels.
You keep moving the goal posts and editing what I said to justify yourself. I never said “putting life on the line” bro😂😂
you just rage against Jesus that’s what this is really about. He loves you though, I promise❤️
Thought you said you weren't religious 🤣
Quitting, shocks, war and Jesus…
This thread has probably run its course.
Dungey was going to try the air shock in SX, went to the line for his heat race and the rear end sacked out before the gate dropped. Switched to the regular shock the rest of the night and season
So is WW2 what they used to call mxon? Who did we have riding for us then?
