I'd just like to commend the op for correctly posting "should have" instead of "should of" the latter being epidemic around here.

Impressive. Triples were still for the most part 3 jumps that weren't necessarily meant to be taken all at once in 85. The basic template for today's sx tracks was still a few years away.

Yeah I really didn't expect to see him get worked like that in a lcq.

He really looked out of his element last night. I'm mainly waiting to see him in the nationals.

There will be a learning curve involved for SX

Probably right. He'll have motos where he flat smokes everyone then have those other motos where you're just scratching your head.

I never watched Malcolm in the middle either but I first saw him as Tim Whatley on Seinfeld. I loved Breaking Bad though .

Maybe a combination of speed and having to time everything perfectly ? The speeds are higher outdoors yet it doesn't have the injury stigma SX has.

They should make a restyle kit for older rmz's.

I was selling an 89 rm 125 on fb marketplace and had a guy not only lowball me but wanted me to deliver the bike . I cant remember if I didn't respond or just give a flat no. Anyway soon after I got my asking price from someone else. Didn't make an offer ... more »

Ah ok. Cool bike and project. I like that era of the rm.

Didn't the 87 have a rear disc ?

The problem is by and large wages for the average worker haven't come close to keeping pace with inflation. There are still manufacturing jobs out there offering $10 an hr. I was making that almost 30 years ago. Jobs that require degrees offering 25 ... more »

He did win motos though which are individually scored races. Short series also.

KTM started winning world mx titles in the 70s. They just had a stigma here plus not having the best premier class bike for SX until fairly recently being the reason they never took off here until now.

Ha we had the same idea. I wish they had a moto by moto breakdown of that season.

Jeff Ward had one win when he won the title in 85. There were 11 events that season and it's when they ran the 2 moto format so I'm guessing he probably took the checkers in more than one of the motos but he did only win one overall event.

Maybe . But he's definitely shown a lot of improvement. He wasn't close to the front before.

Finished on the lead lap on a 48 sec. laptime track. Not too bad for his first time out. I just hope he stays healthy for outdoors.
