I think CP has timed this thing just right to be honest. While the other guys are still dealing with their SX stuff and doing a little out door testing....CP can solely train and setup for the out doors.

I think CP is gonna come out swingin'!

I would really like to know just how good/not so good those motoconcepts bikes are. He might be making a mistake going for the money if this doesn't pan out.

Very cool, but the bike looks a bit pale. I think black rims etc would spice the sucker up! I'm sure Rupert agrees with me! Smile

He looks awful on that Yamaturd. He should have stayed on Kawasaki, he was sooooo much smoother back then.








Oh wait, I thought this was another Stewart thread. It's just a joke, people. Tongue

CP will be just fine and I would venture a guess that his equipment will be a few notches better than the Chiz and Hahn due to some extra goodies trickling down from the factory Yamaha race shop.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I also saw MC using the old tech 8s, I guess they are better? I love my old Tech 6!

Other than rider settings, are the bikes the team is going to use the same, or will any rider get special parts?

Ha! I didn't think anyone would notice. To bad my business isn't making any money, I would love to sponsor shit like this! Smile One day, one day...

I put gold hubs on that sucker as well! Didn't anyone notice? Even made an engine plug in gold! You ungrateful mofos! Smile
