I understand why moto media is the way it is, but there is a lot of area in between bro-downs and National Enquirer. Actual investigative reporting would be nice, but I understand why we don't have that.

But IMO, nobody has ever gone faster than Tomac the first 5 motos of 2015.

I was glad to be there to witness it in person.

I think electric bikes will be awesome when they become widespread. You aren't helping. People don't like being typecast and insulted, and will push back harder.

I remember when I first started riding, was ready to graduate off of my XR80, and my dad threw me on my brother's CR250 with a bald rear tire, and it scared the living shit out of me, couldn't figure out why anyone would ever need that much power. A ... more »

I will never understand people telling beginner riders that they're too heavy for a 250f. They aren't trying to qualify for a national, a 250f with a 350lb rider will still do all the jumps and pull him around fine. They're as much power as any average ... more »

Anyone else think he looks like Tedesco here?

I started buying supplies to re finish my strat and do a transparent stain, got busy and left it and want to start again now. I went the StewMac route, how about you?

I thought he signed a super long contract with them, like 5 years? How long ago was that?

Sabbatical?

I'm a Hill fan but a realist at the same time. He was showing some good results/drive through the middle of the season but just did not gel with SLC at all. Wish he had just a little more killer instinct

Adding on room for parts, sleeping quarters, room for a grill to feed riders and personnel... requires big up front money but comes out ahead in the long haul. Cant remember what thread ML broke it all down in.

I'd love to see what he can do on a 450 outside if he can't secure a decent paying team ride. Possible injury fill in ride as well when training starts ramping up?

ML512 has shared several times that if you plan on going the long haul, for a full size team, a big rig is cheaper in the long run.

Gained a 450 spot, but lost 2 250 spots?

I don't understand the downvotes on this, I don't think he wanted a factory bike to play around on, he was pretty forthcoming in his posts complaining about it. He pretty much said he wanted to be an insta-ambassador for Honda doing builds and free riding. ... more »

Jeremy probably wanted to go back to Star rather than stay. No 450 rides available at Honda in the next couple years. He's going back to what he knows he can win championships on.

Make sure you have spark first, then you're getting fuel, then check for mechanical issues. Could be a weak spark. I had an 04 KTM 125 with the same issues and it ended up being the CDI, after I mistakenly figured it would be the stator.
