Since the Colorado location was specifically mentioned in this thread, I feel it is fair to give my side of the story. I can only speak about my own documented experience. I owned and operated an established suspension business before entering the TBT franchise relationship. I paid the franchise fee and completed training because I believed I was purchasing an organized franchise system with manuals, documented procedures, technical support, clear parts requirements, marketing assistance, and value from the TBT name. That was not what I experienced. I repeatedly had to chase basic information, follow up on unanswered emails and messages...

Man these modern big 2 strokes are the shit. You just put that SOB in 4th in the woods and fly. Tourqe for days.

"Moto media needs to be more like mainstream sports!!" RacerX reports a publicly available arrest report... "Screw RacerX, they shouldn't report this until all the facts are out!!" If they didn't report it, people would say it's a bro show and they are protecting one of their own. Reporting the facts and nothing else shouldn't be a problem. Wow.

Did RacerX put out Andersons arrest report or are they pickin on Alessi?

Sounds like he had a kid with him and took something not worth a lot of money from a shed or something. To me, this screams that there is way more to this story, so I encourage everyone to hold off on judging Mike until more details are released.

Hadn't heard of these and just went to their site to check them out..... The bars might work well, but that might be the worst website design I have seen since like 2004. Black text on a fading black background? I literally had to highlight the text so I could read it. https://twistedengineering.com/

Can't speak for anyone else, but I can promise you it's not confirmation bias for me. More like intolerable wrist pain in my left wrist, numbness in my hands, and overall discomfort w/o them. Trust me - I've switched back and forth and tried to break up with Flexx bars, but I always end up crawling back....lol.

The Precision Damper bolts right up without issue. We're working on a Scotts mount, both above and below bar options.

I have been using them for years. Best bar on the market. Every bike in my shop (4) has them. Tough as nails, highly adjustable and rebuildable. Not to mention that the owner Cole Townsend is core moto and the nicest guy around.

Shameless plug for our new Nexus bar mounts... Much lighter, lower profile, better steering precision, and less expensive than the Mako, Flexx bars, Urmosi, etc. They include all three bushings for tuning (you don’t have to buy them separate as you do with the competing products). Well proven in racing with multiple GNCC wins, Hard Enduro podiums, and points scored in both Pro Motocross classes, plus we’ve gotten tons of positive feedback from customers. Available to fit our triple clamps and most all stock triple clamps. https://www.luxonmx.com/shop-products.html

I run the red elastomers that they come with.i can't feel them flexing, but I've jumped on my brother's bike without them, and it felt super rigid through the grips. The only downside is weight, which has never been an issue for me.

In the video with Stu Baylor he said it looked like the same tank setup as the 4 strokes but said he would have to actually pull it off to verify it.

I run them on dirt bikes, street bikes, and mtb. They work awesome. I'd have to give up riding without them after my wrist surgery, and they take all the hard edge off the trail trash. I never had arm pump prior to using them, but can't hurt. Highly recommend them....

He could still make next week too. If he plates it today he has a week. Unlike jo he didnt miss a race either.

Damn, did he steal your girlfriend or something?

Sometimes its hard to vibe with winners who understand the work and sacrifice it takes to be successful and don't sugar coat the truth..

A lot of times when I hear RJ talk about current riders I think he's a little too gentle, maybe because he doesn't want to come off as "in my day." But RJ is the fucking man. I'd trust him more than most past champions, and it's nice to hear him let loose.

new Team Chase should be Sports Psychologist, Hypnotist, Exorcist (if all else fails). Perfect opportunity now with injury recovery to block out everything and refocus his moto life. Forget having a nice summer off to enjoy things, be a rehab monster go MIA from socials and disappear from bad influences, make the hard choices and come back refreshed from head to toe. This may be the perfect, last, chance to turn it around. Definition of Insanity is keep doing the same things and expect different results...
