One of the things I do like is the races that host over multiple days. It seems like a logistics positive for the teams and is likely cheaper overall. I'd still like to see more total venues but maybe 2 or 3 stops should be multiple event races moving ... more »

Added reply in a thread How old were you guys when your parents stopped bringing you to the track? 1/26/2021 6:51 AM

My parents went to pretty much all the races with me. I had my own track on our property as well but never rode unless someone was home. After I turned 16, I did go with friends once or twice but I never went to a race alone. One time I went with a friend ... more »

NBC is f'ing up several things. They took The Golf Channel and moved the studios from Orlando to golf mecca Connecticut. They axed most of the staff and kept a couple simply because their contracts weren't up. They produce zero new content aside from ... more »

If I could go back and talk to my younger self... I'd tell my younger self to listen to my dad and wear the navy blue and gun metal grey stuff he suggested. As much as I loved the bright colors, they got dirty looking really quick. Looking back at old ... more »

Understanding Barcia's shifter issue, I'd throw him in as well.

Yeah, meant to say this is points pending any penalties. But if anything, it may help bring the group even tighter.

So round 2 allowed Eli to get right back into the mix. If my calculations are correct, he is only sitting 4 points off the lead of Roczen. Absolute best case scenario after his round 1 performance. Having 3 completely different guys on the podium has ... more »

The writing was on the wall a few years ago when they pulled him off Faction and moved him to a high # channel that required an additional subscription level. My guess is they wanted to get rid of him them but needed to finish put his contract. I used ... more »

I'm sure I'll get blasted and I know it's got less than a 0% chance of happening... but BB4 would be a solid US guy to compete in MXGP.

Pretty cool. I do sorta miss the days of the Hondaline gear though... There was something cool about George Holland and Mickey Dymond in team gear.

Added a comment about feature GP Bits: MXGP of Pietramurata | Round 17 11/9/2020 6:24 AM

I got my leg caught in a competitor's swingarm in a first turn crash at Gatorback in 89ish. Between the tire and the plastic shock guard on 80's. It's just one of those things that happens. Thankfully, I wasn't injured but they had to let the air out of his wheel and he raced the restarted race with a flat rear tire.
