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 »

To B or not to B...........

I remember when he first showed up at Saddleback with that bike and kit - so next level. I seemed like just the year before he was racing with AME at Escape Country as 100 or 125 Int. with Al Baker jerseys. Such a great time for the sport.

First time I go to Bean Cyn. years ago, a few miles into our ride one of us loses his countershaft sprocket circlip. He mulls the sitch over and says oh well I guess I'll head back and look for it. Yeah right I think - we'll see ya back at the truck ... more »

Timing the gate - fun when it works, LOL. Most amateurs figure out this doesn't work enough to do regularly after about 5 tries. It worked in my avatar pic

I asked him about them too. He said it's for vibration damping. He didn't mention anything about magnets tho. He may have had no idea himself

Good post. How many of us has wished we could invent something for moto? Rethinking my previous comment about price.

Motion Pro Titan for the cost of a lunch, (last tube you'll ever buy - probably) after running bearing throttles for years and eventually having them grind on my handlebar I switched to Motion Pro. Bearing throttle tubes can be too sensitive to me anyway. ... more »

Textbook example of "Throwing it Away" The most important question as always is, hows the bike? Glad Darren walked it off

OK, I'll play with my little track pack. I think I have tool envy though.

Well yeah, I thought Eli had the power to decide when / if to start racing - I expected him to call it a wrap.....for safety's sake.

Reminds me of what Sondra used to do with chat rooms on AOL back in the day with MC. Does anyone remember that? Way ahead of her time. Pre MotoDrive, right around or maybe even pre MikeeP

I'm liking the look, and the fact you probably got no complaints bringing the bike inside.

This is correct. He raced my class back then, it was either him on his finely tuned 08 CRF or me at 145 lbs on my 06 490 CRF who would normally pull holeys. His speed dropped noticeably the weeks before his heart attack. This is out of character for ... more »
