Without evidence your statement is a waste of everyone's time.

Sucks to see. I like the guy and the effort he gives. Hope he is able to come back strong.

Or is it that champions choose Aldon?

Nope. Agree or disagree, he obviously isn't ready to make a decision on this chapter of his life and won't go public until he does.

Certainly some interesting things going on with that KTM, and the price point is intriguing. But I would caution that with bikes, the old adage of "you get what you pay for" is always applicable. While I can't speak to that KTM bike specifically, and I understand $3K+ for a bike doesn't seem cheap to many, they look to be...

I am sure Eli will take your feelings into account in the upcoming years. I bet he is really disappointed with himself and his lack of patriotism after reading so many opinions on Vital. He probably thought he was already quite patriotic and didn't realize a motorcycle race could change things so quickly for him. I bet he learns his...

Accurate.

Pennies to manufacture...? Not really. Plus there's R&D, CAPEX & design that add to the total COGS.

There are many places where land is limited, and trail advocacy has been the only way to ensure access for bikers. This has been a long battle with land managers, local governments and other trail users for decades, and it's been improving only recently. The main thing to realize is how these other trail users view eMTBs. They are currently...

There's already a lot of good information here (and some really strong opinions) but I think it is important to add that just because a bike has a particular wheel size does not mean it behaves universally. Not all 29ers ride the same, not all 27.5's ride the same, so any information that leads you to one vs the other...

There's a large difference between being "out there" and competing for championships. And while injuries have been minimal, accumulation does matter. His drop will come. We don't know when that will be but it will come. The question is whether or not Dungey is interested in putting in the work once it has happened. As great as Reed still is...

Yes, but obviously with caveats. In all of the comparisons and analysis between Dungey and Tomac or Roczen, I have not seen much of an apples to apples comparison. Meaning, taking into consideration the tremendous accumulative toll Dungey's body has undergone competing at the elite level during his 8 SX seasons in the 450 class, winning 4 titles. By comparison...

Everyone needs to listen to me because my opinion of how James Stewart should live his life matters.

I don't know if I could hate anyone enough to waste a beer on. Except for my ex-wife, of course.

Hillbillies have money?

Ill advised. I don't think any fan of the sport wishes for our own version of Steve Bartman.

For someone who claims to be "kind of " illiterate, you sure do use appropriate economic and statistical terminology quite casually, which I always welcome on a Motorsports forum.

I am not for the tariff but your math is flawed. The full retail price of the bike is not the tariff amount. You're assuming the retail price will double when it's only the tariff that may double. So, whatever percentage the tariff represents within the retail price will double. If the tariff is $2,000 (I'm making this up), then...
