Anyone else watch that and end up haunted by the ghost of Justin Barcia's 2009 rev limiter?

That's a bit of a stretch but I can see it. But that gear just plainly says anal, dude.

I'm about to take a roadtrip in some time between jobs and visit Yellowstone and Tetons to make up for only seeing them as a 6 year old, and maybe a backpacking trip through the Wind River range. I'd love to hit all the Utah parks off season!

Clean house and hire who that could come close to the same results, exactly? It's not 2006-2008 anymore. What was it, Steel City where they went 1-2-3-4? RV, Stroupe, Townley, Metcalfe?

I'm not crowning him, I'm rooting for AC. Just a potential piece of useless trivia I thought of.

How many parks does she have checked off so far? I'm at 14, hoping to knock 2-3 more off this year.

With Ironman you pretty much have to pick which half of the track you want to see. A couple locations you can probably see 3/4 of it, but seeing them hit the Godzilla hill in person is nerve wracking. In 2014, the first year, it was a slopfest and Roczen ... more »

When I think Dean I always picture his ridiculous jump combo at Pala on the 250. Was never the same after he wrecked his shoulders messing with Tomac.

Nevermind Mookie getting his best result ever on it. Plessinger ran up front in SX on it, and Ferrandis did a time or two as well, but may have been overriding a 450 indoors as a rookie. Definitely no other possible explanation!

I was wondering if he didn't also have Loretta's DNF in his head from last year that cost him the title. Maybe decided to calm down for the day and just get points. Hoping if it is an injury it'll heal within the week

They make more money if you finance vs cash. I never understood the thinking that you can get a better deal if you pay cash, unless private party selling maybe.

Didn't Bloss finally get in his groove in SX last year and podium the last round? When he's on, he's top 5 capable. Too many past champions/top tier guys racing now to be hating on top 10 finishes.

If the flat rate pay and the flat rate time was what you just wrote, I'd still be working at the dealer and rolling in piles of money Scrooge McDuck style. More like $17/hr for low tier flat rate, and .3 hours for a new unit PDI. When I first started ... more »

Or maybe KTM is working on a "nostalgic comfort" button for those who raced before fuel injection. Gives you something to nervously fiddle with/check 37 times on the line since theres no petcock.
