bobojim Added a reply to Alta Motors Electric Dirt Bike Takes on Red Bull Straight Rhythm
10/5/2016 3:17pm For straight rythm they could pull out a few battery cells and reduce the weight. But otherwise you can still go after different electric motors and power controller paramters. Its an electrical engineers game though...

9/17/2016 12:19am He does look rusty which is fair enough. On the other hand the bike sounds good. Couldn't say that about his MXGP bike. Never sounded good to me.

9/14/2016 3:11pm Terrible. So much high res imagery - my internet and ipad RAM couldnt handle it.
bobojim Added a reply to Do we really do everything we can for safety?
9/1/2016 4:52am I agree - there are professionals, methods, that could be applied to the sport and make it safer. I work in an industry that was killing people in the past. Now we hardly ever even injure any one. Before the change I heard all the same arguments you hear on this site. But I think the problem is why. It...

9/1/2016 4:13am Interesting. I would have thought cooper would ride the 450, and Anderson would be racing.

bobojim Started a new thread Plessinger on the wrong team?
8/13/2016 4:37am So on MX Nation Ep 6, Gareth Swanepoel said how he and the team manager Bobby Regan look for riders who hate losing. See from about 8:10. On the other hand AP is a laid back guy who clearly doesn't fit this mold, but is still blindly quick at time - e.g. matching Coopers times in practice etc. Pretty clear...

8/11/2016 1:52am Also, the swing arm is shorter, and the main frame longer? Is the wheelbase the same? And why the change? On a side note, there is no way the swing arm is laterally stiffer with the change in design they have made. Unless they publish like for like FEA results with deflection data, I won't believe it.

8/11/2016 1:49am Shows a shorter shock, but there is some dead space in most shocks. Did they use that up, or have to shorten the body or stroke?

8/11/2016 1:29am And more importantly, if the shock is smaller, have they kept the oil volume (and stroke) the same, or is the shock performance going to suffer from the lower shock mounting change? Not that Honda would admit to the latter, but some info would inform

8/7/2016 8:23pm Ok, so this new event turns up with some interesting dimensions. What are the comments and predictions on any of the following: 1. Is the race too much / important / will it be taken seriously and repeat. 2. How will the builders put the track together - steep and technical or flatter and fast. 3. Will anyone ride a...
