RIP Joel, I never got to see him race but back in the early 80's at a USGP at Unadilla if I remember right he took a parade lap on a SWM which was pretty cool to see. Here is a photo I took of Joel at the 2006 MXdN at Matterley Basin , I think he was
The photo file name says Lytle_sx, its number 32 on a 2-stroke Honda. Its Casey Lytle if its titled correctly Edit, I just watched the video clip Maverick posted, it is Danny Smith, Mav is right as usual
Nice shot Jeff! The second corner(and the rest of the track) at Unadilla isn't like the old days like in Fran's photo of Johnny O when it was nice loam you could berm off of. I rode Unadilla back in July at a amateur race there, the second corner was ... more »
Thanks Jemcee, I remember taking those photos of Michael Byrne and Chad Reed,I thought it was cool that they hung out after their race to watch the 250 race and were doing a little bench racing. I need to take more photos like that, Rupert is great at ... more »
My shot of Ryan Dungey from 2010 isn't as cool as Fran's shot but it was my favorite shot of 2010.
Cool video, thanks for posting. Doc has a awesome collection. Checkout minute 5:40 , Doc talked a little about how he had work visa problems at the end of 1998 caused by LaRocco's dad , I wonder what the whole story is there?
Yup, that's Jeff,it looks like Rup's photo is from about 2005 or 2006, it might be his dad with him in the photo.
I use Scott Split goggles over my glasses and I am very happy with them.
I can't believe Eli passed Adam, its a long shot for the title but Adam might need those 3 points next moto
Go for it Jeff! I just turned 60 and I still ride , just a few times a month now, When I was racing I rode two times a week so I stepped back a lot but its still fun and it good exercise so I don't get fatter than I am now. lol I raced a Unadilla amateur ... more »
It was 2006 Matt, that was the last national at Binghamton,I didn't get a photo of Jason parking you but I did get a photo of him sitting in the first turn with the pack long gone, he did pretty good to come from last to qualify in a short LCQ. Jeff
Moleskin sheets work for me, the glue residue is a pain to get off sometimes but it’s worth it.
250 SX points, they count now
Sorry for digging up a old thread, I think it was Ron Sun and Richie Coon on the factory Honda's, they were very trick bikes. That was a good summer here in New England, they went to a few races from what I remember. I found this thread searching for ... more »
Nice bike and price, but aren't the shocks on upside down?
My DVR missed it on NBC too, it is going to be repeated on Friday, at 4:00pm est on NBCSN
It is different in every state. Here in Mass I paid my sales tax and didn't have to get a title (MX Bike), and I have sold or traded in bikes with just the certificate of origin.
I hope he still shows up at the local tracks once in a while, I always like getting shots of him riding.
Back when I used to work at a Harley shop the head torque used to be like that , I think the Harley torque was something like 7 ft lbs, then 14 ft lbs the tighten them 90 degrees, so if its the same sequence stage 3 for you would be tighten them 50 degrees ... more »
I use Moleskin sheets along with my knee brace sleeves,they work great, you can use them 2 or 3 times before the adhesive gives out,the only thing that sucks is the first time you use them some adhesive stays on you leg,its sorta a pain to get off but ... more »
