I’m more curious about this event you went to where everyone was “gobsmacked” that Chinese ripoffs exist.

Deter Them? I've No Fuggin idea, Boom. Well, other than Us not buying such stuff. Here's an example of how things go : I've a mate that, with me, worked at Staintune, decades ago. He's (long) back in Tassie, now making Exhausts. He does Lovely stuff. Now, I've a few exhaust systems to do for my own, personal Ducatis, so, Not remotely off the shelf / production exhausts - if I ever finish them (doubtful). I've not got the equipment for bending tubing, other than basic manual benders for the very, very rare non straight tubes I use for my...

China will keep doing it as long as we let them. I have not idea how one would deter this. What do you think Bearuno? South Africa is swamped with Chinese knockoffs. Chinese warehouses are built in every city here and they supply the Chinese shops which are everywhere.

I went to a US Studies Center event at the Uni last night - subject - China Trade etc. One of my fellow Audience - who's Not a Pro China advocate - he was putting the ' Cat among the Pidgeon's ', so to speak, to further broaden the discussion - put forward that, perhaps the accusations of 'IP and Design' theft by China, was a 'bit much' - citing how it was a common accusation of Japanese Industry in earlier decades. After, I showed him , and others, just this sort of thing that you, Boom have shown. Using...

I haved owned three BMWs, great bikes. The one KTM street bike I owned was the shittiest piece of equipment I have ever owned, cars, trucks, tractors, rvs, and trailers included.

My opinion is that with 10 races left, we'll likely see more mistakes from Chase but he'll still regularly be the fastest and end up with the title as long as he doesn't hurt himself in the process.

Sexton in the press conference: "I don't care if 2nd would have got the overall, I race to win." MY GUY... the overall is the win! Haiden fucking Deegan showed more maturity last night. Unreal.

I guess a shitload of compression and a really light flywheel

Watching this kid ride with a lead is like a box of chocolates……

I want to know how or why he stalls it so much? I’ve never seen a pro racer stall as much in their whole careers and chase has since he switched to KTM

Do any other top guys stall their bike as often as Sexton? I feel like it’s been a thing with him for as long as he’s been on a 450.

To be fair he implodes even when he's out front by him self

I personally loved it. I don’t really care who wins this championship, I just wanna see guys race like their next meal depends on it. Kenny, Webb, Chase, Anderson and bam bam all raced their damn dicks off tonight and I’ve got no complaints about any of it. I hope the rest of the season has more “stupid” moves.

That wasn’t pressure at all…. That was just being stupid. He knows he’s the fastest, and it’s not that close. I think he thought he could make a statement and it blew up on his face.

Man Chase really reminds me of like the early tomac days on a 450. Mentally he just wasn't there.

What pressure? He was in the overall lead. Insanely stupid move. For being that fast, his racing IQ is not very good.

Chase would have been told before the race that if coop is in the lead he only needs second in order to win. His mechanic knew that he knew this.
