The last year I attended the sx at the speedway the crowd looked small. In 2021 when they ran 3 races in one week the numbers were better. MX in Georgia has been falling off since 2008. Sellouts at the GA. dome in 2006 then maybe 30,000 each night at the double header a few years later. We have lost...

In the movie (a league of their own) Tom Hanks said "there is no crying in baseball" . Well there is no (sensitivity) in motocross , it's a tough sport for tough men .

Most parents of home schooled kids don't actually do the teaching they subscribe to a program like Abeka or something similar. Back in our day that involved making sure your kid sat down and watched the DVD's of a teacher in a real classroom of a private school. My child was home schooled up until high school then attended a...

I still have the original PC cone pipe and silencer that Bradshaw started the season on. Other goodies off that bike include the MHR seat cover and the HRC front number plate. I used those parts including the factory connection forks on my 1998 honda. I was in staging at the Daytona SX in 1998 and one of the Factory...

The best georgia tracks to hold a national were road atlanta and burnt hickory.

I have been given a bunch of hand me down parts from JGR mx thru the years and have a cut crossbar from around the 2010 time frame. I have some brakes and triple clamps from Brayton's bike so it may have been his. They cut the crossbar in half and trapped it inside another shorter tube so it could...

Very nice work. That was a major undertaking to go from a drawing to a finished part. The quality of your work is not hobbyist at all. For a prototype on a manual machine with limited tooling it looks professional. You should be very proud of that part. I have been in the machining business for decades and am not...

I have heard through a member of a satelite yamaha team that the teams are having to pay $40,000.00 to enter the series. Anyone know if this is true ? How would that work for the privateers ? You would have finish 11th in the 450 class to break even.

A flywheel weight works nice on the trails , also don't forget cutting the head for more compression will boost the bottom end a good bit.

Daytona for sure, Atl. speedway is a few miles south of the city of atlanta but it is located in hampton ga. which is itself an undesirable town. Most of the metro atl. area is ghetto. This is the voice of a 60 year resident of georgia.

Nice looking bike . It would look much better with the shiny blue rims. The blue rims were the best change yamaha made in the looks dept.

This was remote land away from developers, look at a map view it was out in the country.

I use VPR mixed 50/50 with 93 pump gas at 32:1 using the same jetting I did on straight pump gas. With 100% T2 I leaned the clip one notch. My bike runs just as good at 50/50 as it does on straight VPR so I mix it to save money.

In the '90s I raced pro SX on 250 Hondas and the frames did stretch to the point it had an affect on handling. When the bike was brand new I would measure from the swingarm pivot bolt to the front axle and make a note in the owners manual. I would remeasure every 5 hours and after 20 hours...

A friend has a 22 yz125 X ,it still comes with the mikuni TMX 38 carb. From the first ride this bike ran rich and leaked fuel out the overflow tube. We tried smaller pilot jets and clip positions with little improvement. The jet block gasket was replaced ( bad right from the factory) along with the O-ring. Still no...

I would think Chad Reed could still make the night show on his 04 YZ 250.

Low speed shaft movements before the face shim lifts is controlled by the bleed hole. The rebound adjuster has more effect on compression than the compression adjuster . Next time the shock is off the bike remove the spring and compress the shock by hand , then close off the rebound adj. a few clicks at a time and notice...

Walmart has them and Harbor freight also, about $10.00 . You will need to spin it fast so runout will be a problem , just keep moving the micro chuck around until it spins as true as possible.

Yes in the 70's we did complain about all the new bikes and for good reason. Back in the day new bikes were just a starting platform , you could race them stock until they broke. If you wanted to avoid DNF's you had to finish what the MFG started and that meant gusseting frames, replacing shocks, replacing swingarms and...
