Any idea of the track direction this year?

Thanks, was really hoping that they'd switch directions this year.

If you knew anything about the protest, you’d know it definitely wasn’t for a win and know what it’s exactly about. Have enough of those. Just won my 14th championship two weeks ago in that class. 😘 You can answer the question I asked or move along and stop trying to hijack people’s threads with bs that has nothing to do with it.

Yes, they make a huge difference! Rake and Trail! I'm not a berm railer, rather I like turn in, thus I prefer a steep triple clamp. A few silly MM make a big differnce. Same with SAG. One gives up some straight line stability. RV had his own style... https://www.cycleworld.com/2015/05/22/cycle-world-tips-and-tricks-under…

Yeah but how many triple clamps has he bent?

RV has said before he ran diff races to get the rake. And lots of shock changes. In 14 SX he was up to shock #57 on revisions. That’s crazy.

As illustrated above, RV steers with the rear tire so to speak. It makes sense he wouldn’t need anything but the stock triple clamp.

Interesting…. But to be fair, he didn’t need to. The titles just kept rolling in with what he had.

Take a look at what the top riders can do with a stock bike each time there is a brand day or new model launch. https://youtu.be/99HRU7At8QA?si=N3OETSXnnI8TC5mv Look at this and then tell me that there is anything the average joe would need to change on his bike that restrict him from going faster.

i've never run aftermarket triple clamps either, i'm no RV but you can't convince me there's enough of a difference for little Joey at Chicken Licks Raceway to need to dump that kind of money into triple clamps. buddy of mine went through a few different aftermarket sets a season. i still whooped that ass regularly.

In his Gypsy Tales interview, Marvin was talking about riding a new 450sxf at Glen Helen. Completely stock. He said the bike didn't need anything

Who needs triple clamps!

I have to agree with you. He’s shown a whole different side of his personality after retirement. It even took a couple years for him to loosen up to where he’s at now. I spent 15 years in the amateur Mx scene with my son and being only two years apart, there were times that we lined up on the same gate. That being said, I got to know Dan a bit, over the years. But Ryan was always very to himself and took racing very seriously. Not sure I ever saw him smile much, unless it was on the...
