My original post was just joking about Suzuki finding another reason to continue with their once-a-decade bike revisions, lol. But if they do sign Roczen, I’ll be pulling for him and the team for sure. For the last few years, I think we’ve all wondered just how competitive the yellow bike can still be if the team had a top talent riding it. It’ll really show where the bike currently stands amongst the heavy hitters. Now, just imagine if he and another rider go down due to contact in a corner, and Kenny is somehow able to take off first...

I'm sure you meant his rear brake pedal...or I hope thats what you meant...

Awesome reply man, thank you 👍

40-50's is the best riding weather in my opinion. The dirt holds moisture better and I don't sweat like crazy. But I usually just go out for a 15 minute warmup and my hands usually get pretty cold then I go back in and warm them up and they will be good for the rest of the day. I don't know why but it works for me

40’s is my favorite weather…I ride normal gear (and I only own vented gear)….when it’s in the 30’s I’ll put on a windbreaker…which I usually end up taking off once my heart rate gets up. If you are cold at those temps, you aren’t riding hard enough. Lol

47-50 is cold?

I think I'm proud I understood that...

Latex rubber gloves under your MX gloves help a ton

This weather sucks. (Houston area) I have a set of roomy gear I can wear a base layer under for sub 50 deg weather. Below 40 means I drink beers in the garage.

When I cycled all year round in Illinois, I would add vodka to my water bottles to stop them freezing.

Ha that would be awesome if they named that for LL. I’m the national slow class champion. That might actual make some people move up!

It would take me a year at a training facility, personal trainer, mechanic and and a prescription for growth hormone and steroids to get me out the C class. Should I start a go fund me like other aspiring talents?

Agreed! Same goes for: "Butthurt" "living rent free in your head". All are SO played out.

Just ask him and he will tell you that he does

I haven't listened to the show but "Jap" may or may not be racist, depending on how it's being used. It could be used derisively, or as an abbreviation. It's the context that matters. On the one hand, some are too quick to cry "racist" when it's not warranted. This sort of virtue policing is insufferably irritating and infantile. On the other hand, it can be easy to give your hero a pass he doesn't deserve. I don't know which is the case here. If he was racist, there's nothing "tough" about tolerating it, or "soft" about calling it out...

We have one , actually we have two. Justin Barcia, Vince Friese. Look were that got them.

Generally, for the average rider buying from an average rider, a KTM 450 should go forever... Figuratively. And assuming it's had oil, filters, and a little respect. A clutch kind of falls into a different category than top end imo, and they're still as robust on the KTMs as any other, but I hear you. Not quite apples to apples, but there are people here with 200 and 300 hours on unopened 350's, and the 450 of course will usually get less stick and much less high RPM use. Some Jap bikes go on for ages reliably, but the Austrian...
