While a shotgun is easier to hit a target with than a handgun, it's not like the movies where it automatically hits right where it should. They still need to be aimed. There are various versions of the 590, all of which are higher than the traditional shotgun capacity of only 5 rounds. You really still need to practice, and unless you're going to practice all the time, the 590 with a nub for a handgrip is likely going to be less accurate than desired. I would suggest a traditional 590A1 with a shoulder stock. If you're leaning toward a...

I don't know about a resume but he was the head of off road R&D for Yamaha for a long time. Doug Duback mentions him several times on The Whiskey Throttle show. He wrenched for Pierre Karsmakers at one time too. I met him through his son Gary. We were taking fire technology courses at a local community college. I thought he was talking shit when he said his dad wrenched for Karsmakers. Then one Sunday after we met they showed up at Saddleback. Gary was a 125 expert and Ed rode with Oldtimers MX. I had this awning you...

Who was Ed Scheidler? Anyone got a bio on him??

Good bench racing question, rider success means nothing when it comes to a mechanic's skill but I've talked to so many old-timers, newer guys and I'll tell you that they all mention Cliff White, not always the nicest guy out there to his fellow mechanics but even the guys that didn't like him respect his skills with a bike. He was grinding cylinders better than the guys in Japan for HRC a few years! He was meticulous and innovative, to me he's on any short list of greatest mechanics because I've heard it from so many others that were there...

My opinion, if a rider fired his current mechanic after several championships because of alcoholism, doesn’t mean the guy who was the parts manager that was lucky enough to replace him is the greatest mechanic. The best mechanics of all time are guys like Jon R, Jim Felt, Brian Lunnis or Bill Buchka. Those guys could make a bike faster, make them handle better, build parts and fix broken parts. Very few of those guys left, Ian, Tony Berluti and Kyle Defoe are the modern guys that fit that mode. Championships don’t define how great the mechanic is, McGrath won...

John Rosenstiel.

idk about all time, but ask Damon Bradshaw and i'd bet he'd say Mike Chavez... worth a mention at the very least... dude could make a 125 sing like a mofo...

I still love this bike.

I tried to get him to do my suspension when I had the AER’s. Never answer the phone or called back. After 3-4 emails he responded, but didn’t answer any questions just told me to call him. When he did answer he answered my questions all he did was read off the race tech web site of everything I already knew.

Living proof that smacking your head too many times f#cks it up.

It's simple - 250 2t vs 2504t. When will this BS ever stop? The funny thing is, 4t 'Champions', are usually those that will say equivalency is "unfair", whilst always going on about how great 4ts are. Yes, they are - and they certainly don't need any handicap classing to hold their own against equivalent capacity 2ts. They haven't for well over a decade, now. 250Fs are Not tiddlers - that's the province of 125s / 150s ( very, very fast tiddlers, of course) . Still, a good video - as was the Yam one - with respect to just...

WE SEED THIS MOVIE A BUNCH OF TIMES I DOSE ONE OF MY FAVERITES. I LIKE THE KID JASON THAT IS THE WIZ MECHANIC THAT GOTS A SUSZUKI RM85. MY MOM THINKS THIS MOVIE GOOD HOLESOUME FUN FOR THE HOLE FAMILY
