Just checked out that link for bring a trailer, that damn 87 500 sold for $17,500, Jesus! I didn't realize these bikes were almost worth their weight in gold. I changed out the original side panels on mine to save um as well as the pipe, handlebars, foot pegs, Magura hydraulic clutch, new tires to make it more comfortable to...
RC lapped James Stewart in a race, just shows how dominant and faster he was and James would have never had a perfect season, had RC not retired to raise a family. Why you trying to poo poo how fast and dominant Jett's performance has been this year by saying if Tomac and Sexton were racing, they'd have a little...
Actually, I haven't owned it, since 1987, just purchased it about 8 years ago from a guy who was the original owner and barely used it, had the original tires that were all hard and cracked, so I replaced those, put a new DID chain on it, clutch pull was brutal so I installed a hydraulic clutch that was much...

Look at these little buggers below, looks like a Great White sharks teeth just waiting to tear off a nice big piece of flesh off your body. Most people can go their entire lives not having a peg injury, but Damn! certain pegs are almost terrifying to think they're down there just waiting to attack. They are cool to look...
Holy shit! that's unreal. So! I just went out and started up the 500, forgot how much of a bitch they can be if you don't do it right. I've gotten comfy on my KTM 350 XCF and CRF450R and those nice gripper seats they come with, well! I guess gripper seats were for Wussies back in the day and...
Now hang on, whatta ya think I'm stupid or something, I see how you Aussies roll, if that's $500 Australian dollars, that's like $350 US and it will cost more than that to ship it to ya. I heard 500cc 2-stroke racing is a pretty big deal down under though.
I had a 1979 Honda CR250R Elsinore back in the day and if I had a penny for every time I've said I wished I hadn't sold it, I'd be rich. I'm probably going to hold on to this 500, because it is really cool and I love the smell of that 2 stroke oil. I think I'm gonna go...

BigRedMachine Started a new thread Racing vintage motocross bikes or sell um.

Got this stupid old bike and I don't know what to do with it, sell it or been thinking about entering a vintage race against a bunch of other old farts, but I'm so spoiled with these new electric start dirt bikes that I don't even feel like kicking this old girl over anymore and she's kind of dangerous for...

Early to say, but damn! for his first year in the 450's he's having an unreal season. If he keeps this up, he might give Honda their 3rd perfect motocross season in history and he's a rookie. There's a lot of if this and a lot of that could happen and we'll see how he might handle adversity, but right...

I have the Asterisk Carbon Cell 1's and they come with the Tether. I haven't had an incident yet to tell how it works, but it seems to make sense to prevent those twisting knee injuries. Here's a video that kind of goes through the installaton process.

I travel to Canada quite frequently and if you've ever been there, you'll notice these huge swaths of reddish brown trees. These ones are completely dead and dry, because of an infestation of Pine Beetles and these are gigantic forest fires just waiting to happen. Funny! thing is, I never see Pine Beetle infestation in Oregon and Washington, but hop...

Wouldn't it seem that if they've put braces under the shrouds to prevent them from collapsing that this would also provide an additional amount of protection for the radiators in certain crash circumstances.

At 1:45 of this video they talk of a brace for Chase Sexton's Radiator shrouds next to the Radiators, sounds like HRC have an extra brace in there to me.

Chase Sextons HRC 450R is pretty fast and he uses ARC levers and has reinforced radiator braces, so maybe KTM should rethink what they're doing.

I wish Suzuki would go back to their glory days and make a modern day 450 with electric start and suspension that looked like this. If they did that, I'd kick down the the door at the dealership and demand they take my money. Love the simple look of these old Suzooks. Can't be that difficult, because this is a...
