Parents weren’t liberals obviously. Otherwise they’d be waiting for said child to select its gender. LMMFAO you can’t make this shit up. ~used with Team Green permission, all rights reserved.

Nor sure what the specific details were that constituted patent infringement, but yes, Kawi's original Uni was a single dogbone with a shock attached directly to the frame at the bottom. The negatives were that it was a falling rate design and frame breakage was common with the system.

This bike is in my Man Cave with Dons book on the seat

Great thread - and who cares how often it comes up - if you were there it's cool to re live the facts and fantasies, if you weren't - then learn something. I never owned a RM during those years; I was a total YZ guy - but I remember listening to the RM owners about how magic the rear was in spite of the deficiencies of the rest of the bike - ie fork/brakes. And for a few years, they were the shit because of this rear suspension. RM could blow through braking bumps and hold lines without "swap"...

Pictures of, purportedly, one of DRs earliest Rod and Rocker rear ends, during a Test on a Husky : Please Note - these pics can be found on the Internet - the theft from 'The Greek' was perpetrated long ago. I've got them marked as 1974 - could be wrong, and, certainly, he would have made something before this very sano Husky, with C&J decals on it. Of note is the lower shock mount, it's hard to determine if it's on the forward section of the swingarm, or, on a mount directly to the frame or engine mount. I just...

Love old moto stories like that! I also raced Mark Barnett later on in 1983. I also had 4 top 10 national moto finishes in 1983, a 6th, 8th and two 10's.

Well, our litte punk rock privateer team "Moto XXX" not only qualified for and raced a lot of nationals but we actually WON the 2001 Red Bud National. Our rider Larry "Big Bird" Ward went 2-2 for the overall and we beat James Stewart! Insane to think about. And, we were the first team to get a national win on a 250f 4 stroke! We accomplished a lot as a team during our 13 years in existance. You could read all about it right here if you're interested... https://pulpmx.com/2014/07/24/moto-xxx-the-complete-oral-history/

Correct and I'm sorry for that. When people you care about get murdered in a draconian manner then its easy to shoot your mouth off without thinking. But again, I'm not racist. I have some good African friends who I hang out with often. These guys are welcome in my home. For me, bad people are bad people, regardless of their colour or where they come from. Aplman, you have always come across as an alright dude, and when I step out of line and get called out for it, then it gets me thinking on how to be a...

In the US, polls show that more than 75% of citizens want ALL illegal emigrants deported. That includes republicans and democrats. Don’t shoot the messenger. Just reporting the facts.

If I ever had to migrate to another country or seek asylum, you can be certain that I will do everything in my power to show my host appreciation and respect. Not join a gang or behead people. It’s like the atv guys that decide to hill climb unmarked trails in the forest, they get us all kicked out eventually.

Well I can finally share a small teaser of what I have been working on since October of 2025.. S3 of Lioness will drop August 2nd.

😀 So your saying Democrats like to procrastinate?...Republicans are prudent and on time? 🙃

When a one-party state (California) sets up a system that helps them come from behind and win every single time people are rightfully suspicious.

Not a popular opinion, but vote by mail needs to go. Voting should be 100% in person. It’s a civic duty, not a civic convenience. You should have to walk your ass into the booth and check the box on Election Day. You should stand in line bored like everyone else. If you can’t be bothered to spend your own free time getting to the poll and casting your vote, you obviously don’t care enough. Save a sick day from your work. Call a friend if you can’t drive. Leave the kids at grandmas. Plan your vacation for another week...

Crf50 is a big bike for a 3 year old imo.

$5.15 today at the station I gauge it from the high of $5,50...4 weeks ago? Still too damn high
