chuckie108 Added a reply to When did customer service plummet?
9/10/2026 8:38am You guys nailed it. The money vampires actually run actuaries on cost/benefit of "customer service". They know at what level of customer service they provide generates the most profit. Pride in company/quality, integrity, etc. has nothing to do with it. Losing 10% of your customers costs less than the overhead and personnel to retain them. And this mindset is pervasive...

9/6/2026 11:20am I've been wearing mine now for 2 months and fortunately no deployments. I'll second most of the takes on here. It feels heavy when you pick it up. I think that's because it is heavier than a standard chest pro., so when you handle it, you notice it. But as soon as you put it on your body and slide...

8/22/2026 3:04pm Stunts Unlimited mourns the loss of one of our own, J.N. Roberts—a true legend of desert racing, off-road motorcycling, and Hollywood stunt work. J.N. was one of the greats. He won 27 consecutive desert races, took the Barstow-to-Vegas four times in a row, and won both the Baja 1000 and Baja 500 twice. He was also a pioneer in the development of protective equipment for off-road racing. His extraordinary talent, innovation, and fearless riding established him as a legend long before his career in Hollywood. Fellow motorcyclist, future film director, and Stunts Unlimited co-founder Hal Needham introduced J.N. to the...

8/21/2026 8:39am Dramatically underappreciated early pillar of our sport. A lot of moto fans think the sport started here with the Trans AM in '70, but the reality is bad ass dudes were ripping on dirt bikes as far back as the 50's in SoCal, they just called it scrambles, and desert racing was the most popular format. The actual roots of...

8/18/2026 8:14am You're only half right partner. A very large percentage of "Us Californians" haven't lost our souls, we've become victims of a corrupt political process. Ballot harvesting, Jerrymandering, misleading ballot initiative titles, mass mail out ballots, etc., eliminated representative government in California about 15-20 years ago. And unfortunately, is now the proven playbook they are trying to implement everywhere else. California...

8/7/2026 7:46am I noticed this as well. I'm kind of bummed because I felt like Josh had the ability to bring back some of that old MXA glory. Say what you will about (the now 79 year old) Jody, but he built MXA up into something of an institution. Before RacerX or even "The Racing Paper", there was MXA. I think MXA needs to be preserved the way 2-strokes need to live on. Josh had the ability to make that happen. No disrespect to Daryl and Dennis but they don't have that "je ne sais quoi" needed in contemporary video-based media. The...

JBecker 72 Liked a reply to forum topic Has anyone ever built a bike from scratch?
8/3/2026 8:36am I’m sure people will say this is non moto, but I suggest doing some research on the Britten V1000. It’s the ultimate scratch built motorcycle, and it even won at Daytona as well as a New Zealand Superbike championship. I got to see one of the handful ever made at a motorcycle shop in Winchester, VA a few years back. Wish I had my photos still from that day. Incredible machine. When I read the thread title, this was the first motorcycle that came to mind.

7/1/2026 12:38pm What exactly do all you guys do who think 120k plus beni's is a pittance? I may need to aim higher (or move to Wisconsin?).

6/30/2026 10:43am Spec Bolt Nickel Wurks bolt kit for the win. I also hate the stock hardware on all my Austrian bikes. Every one I've owned over the last 10 years gets all the visible bolts changed for Nickel Wurks on my initial teardown/build up.

6/15/2026 5:49pm Here’s version 1.0. I’ll test it this week. Looks a little industrial but I’m more worried about function.

6/13/2026 5:52pm It's not a bolt, at least not on the '26. It's the small side number plate extension that bolts to the subframe.
