All

It's not a hooby, it's a lifestyle, Big wave riding, in partucular, requires total commitment . it's an art form &, at the very apex of it, a very competitive sport. Only those who have never surfed could think otherwise.

Greg White. Have a couple more Red Bulls & calm down, OK? Worst race announcing I have ever heard. Greg, you are a true fan, but you are not an announcer.

That's great.

First race was a scrambles in a field near Oakdale Calif. in 1965 on a 500 Triumph with the lights taken off & pie plates for numbers. After 2 restarts caused by first turn crashes I holeshot the field & led for 3 laps before crashing in a gully. It took me 2 laps to pick it up, that sucker...

Rather than do the smart thing & tie themselves to a successful formula like WSB so there could be crossover fans & riders they have decided that 600 bikes are the way to go & will call the Daytona 200 the Daytona superbike race. 1000's will be support races with engine restrictions. Dumbed down just like nascrap & their sports...

Oh shit! That's the first time i've seen it. Terrible. Get well soon Mike.

They've already fucked up RR with their proposed new rules. NASCRAP here we come.

Billy Joel might know something about that.

Good point. The 450 could literally be a handful with a weak wrist. It could be a big deal with the open bike.

I was very impressed with Budds Creek for the MXDN. Great facility. The temps & humidity can be brutal so be prepared. Try to find some shade, otherwise enjoy.

Hangtown appeared to have a really good turnout. The nice weather had a lot to do with it & the gas prices at the pump hadn't really hit yet either. The general state of the economy is forcing people to choose carefully how they spend their discretionary money these days.

Rain? I wish. It was 110 here yesterday in the Sierra foothills near Sonora. Supposed to be hotter today.

Good news. Welcome back.

Sure as hell can't claim the high moral ground that Joe is looking for.

I miss MD.

It's my guess that with the header pipe extending 4-5" into the megaphone part of the pipe you are not getting the full effect of the megaphone. The old custom pipes they used for flat tracking were 1 piece so they didn't have that problem.

If we could just block all the things we don't like to see & hear it would all be peachy wouldn't it?

Pussy.
