The only comment to make any sense in this whole thread.

Sounds about right. I had a pattern I would use to make my own out of a roll of quality 3M Grip Tape for my old Honda. I found the grey to last the longest and provide the correct grip. I use the Acerbis rubberized protectors now on my KTM - even though ... more »

This 100%. I do it to all my bikes to get the exact location where the chain is tightest, then make a piece of wood I can use to measure chain slack with zero guess work and/or reliance on the manual. However I DO tighten my linkage and shock when it ... more »

Lots of people lesser than Dunge do it all the time. Hell I took a 10 yr layoff after breaking my neck and made a come back at 40. Took another injury year off when I was 50. Still racing at 58. Nothing to gain other than living life to its fullest, ... more »

I worked at a car detailer in the 80s. Some 18 yo kid comes in with 2 yo 930 turbo porsch he just bought from a lady who’s ex told her to sell it and split the $$. She sold it for $500. It happens.

Claude Osteen. He was a baseball player. I let it go the first time.

You wear them when you mtb but not when you moto? Thats odd. I've always dressed for the crash not the ride. I have seen numerous elbows filleted down to the bone, the worst was indeed on a mtb. Small tip over onto shale - I could see moving ligaments/cartilage ... more »

Did anyone ever ride the Carlsbad replica track Marc Peters built at The Ranch? Uncanny the similarities. Like banking off the sides of the uphill. The Ledge, and The Horseshoe. It even had the stream crossing at the bottom. There was no doubt what replica ... more »

Yes! and they are tore up to shit! But I haven't had a scab on my elbow since. It took a while to find a pair that wouldn't slip down. The TLD compression sleeve ones with molded-in plastic work excellent, plus they keep you cool when it's hot out and ... more »

I had one on my last 2 stroke. A 1980 YZ250G with the Answer Products "Bob Hannah port job" and I agree very responsive and easy to tune even for a 15 yo kid

This. then top off your tranny oil, rock it back and forth and your problems will probably go away - Relax! Those trannys are pretty much bulletproof slight chance your shift star got boogered - still an easy fix no biggy. Don't even have to drain your ... more »

Yup. My first race spectating was the first Superbowl of Motocross when Tripes won, yours was probably the second one when Falta won right about the time I walked out of the premier of On Any Sunday and discovered Popular Cycling magazine and found out ... more »

Dude, I was there!! on the far side of the National Track, we called it "The Levels" If you went to the end you would end up at the 1st level of "Suicide Mtn". Am I right? If not, it happened twice. Poor sap.

Lol just remembered another one, again my bro not me. I’m at work on a random Tuesday or Thursday, get a call from my bro at Perris Raceway he just crashed and is off to Riverside General can I come get his bike and truck? Me and a friend head out and ... more »

There are lots. The most memorable was just a few yrs ago. Local REM race my bro is racing 50 Elite the race before my 50 Int race. I’m getting ready to go to the line for my race and see my bro riding thru the pits while his race is still on the track ... more »

Funny when you told me about this thread and asked the question, this is what immediately came to mind - you said funniest, not weirdest though. I'll never forget it - she was standing right next to me, the second the gate dropped her hat blew onto the ... more »

You need to get a different hobby. You put WAY too much time into posting this, I can only imagine the time you took to send your diatribe to Feld (now look at ME) You obviously don't remember "Virtual Grandstand" bitd when you had to refresh your screen ... more »

I think you think wrong and if you think about it a little more you might really get it. Think about this. What if he really still likes racing motorcycles? I’m 57 yo and I still love it! I’ve spent thousands of dollars every year of my adult life at ... more »

Thanks for that. Interesting shit I did not know - but should. Your explanation makes perfect sense. I was just wondering the other day about how and why does a nut keep turning once it's bottomed out. Inclined planes, screws, wheels, fire, fossil fuel. ... more »
