bitteroldman Started a new thread AMA rule ?
1/27/2012 4:40am My buddy who has raced enduros for the last 8 years and currently holds a AMA card in the A class for that wants to give MX a shot. Does he have to ride in the A class because he holds a A card or can he start out in a lower class since he has never raced mx before...

bitteroldman Started a new thread Hey Hammer
1/25/2012 1:20pm What's up with the Pink Palace ? I seem to remember a while back that you could not get in touch with the keeper of the domain and it may go dark. Now when I log on and all I get is ''This Acct. has been suspended''. I have some unfinished football bets to make for next weekend. Tell me...

12/17/2008 3:23pm I also see in Reeds interview that he has not turned the page on his bogging issues. Funny but they did not mention anything about that in the 450 shootout. I know his bike is completely different but that alleged problem should of been addressed by his mechanics. Sounded like he was throwing his old employer unde the bus. Weren't...

bitteroldman Added a reply to Yamaha 144???
11/10/2008 5:16pm Wasn't there something in the AMA rules about the engine having to be 125 from the factory then you were allowed to bump it to a 144. Could not be a factory built 144. Schoolboy 125 class comes to mind ,other than that with all these open class's they could build a 144 butttt then again you might as well...
bitteroldman Added a reply to 65 gallon tank on my motorhome

10/17/2008 7:55pm The only idiot using a impact for tighting a bolt was a mechanic ? at a dealership and your clueless buddy. They work excellent for LOOSINING nuts and bolts on a bike. Having said that I still use it to snug up a clutch basket when there is no basket holder around .A couple burps with a freewheeling basket has...

10/16/2008 5:59pm f first thing I do is hit it up with some PB blaster . Let it sit for a while. Now wedge a screw driver between the nutsert and the tank to hold it. Grab a impact gun and put as much air pressure into the compressor as it will take [that get's the RPM's up] hit the trigger and...

10/3/2008 4:01pm Yamaha has been out sourcing that header. I was told they will start making it inhouse ASAP as well as some other GYTR parts. We have gone through 2 of those headers this year . The way the ''can'' sits on the header makes it very vibration prone. So the weld breaks free from the header. The brace in the...
bitteroldman Added a comment about feature Catching Up With: Paul Carpenter
5/21/2008 6:58pm
Paul's hometown is Ithaca which is about 20 miles from Broome and Frozen is about 80 miles away.So iIdo not know how FO became his ''hometown ''track. Anyway my son's first race as a expert had Carpenter and Bob Kiniry [whose hometown track is FO] on the line with him, a little eye opener for a 15 year old. He did not get lapped so he was a happy rider about that. It's great to see him hooked up with Atomic as they have given him the reigns. See you and Bob again in a few weeks at Silver Springs...

3/30/2008 4:03pm Or twice as smart as RC/JS If all you had to win by was 1/64th of a inch and you had a huge lead on a track that was eating riders up as it deterioated would you not race smart as the laps were winding down ? I believe the big picture is a lot sweeter than a snapshot. The...

3/29/2008 1:35pm Last year all you needed was money with no pro license and you were in.I believe they had some sort of cut off date to sign up and that was it. I know one entry in the lites this year that does not have any fim/ama credentials.

3/14/2008 2:57pm Why do AMA tracks not make you ride your ranked class before it lets you sign up for what is considered a secondary class [ age class,4 stroke,etc. ] I just read a article on Frank Lettieri and this is what his mom says ''Were hoping to really run the Schoolboy class hard...The Schoolboy and MX Lites this year and...

4/16/2016 6:19pm [quote="Tcannon521":3t0torwz]I just did a track day at Barber Motorsports Park. With Nesba it was 215 dollars. While I know most MX'ers are cheap asses I can tell you I felt 100% more comfortable riding around out there at 135+ mph knowing flaggers were in ever turn and an ambulance was sitting there ready to take me away if need be...
