Max Nagl will switch to Triumph aswell, trying to defend his latest ADAC title. Is Haarup going to race, or just stay in Georgia for testing?

Some things on your recent posts: The more teeth grab the chain, the better I guess. What about white cable ties for the frame guards? The best feeling I ever had was on a 2018 CRF450 with stock clamps and stock bars. It just felt right. Great bend for me and comfortable flex. I wish 7/8" bars were still common...

Hey guys, can you give me a short rundown on the shortcomings of the TBI 125s? My old man (about to turn 75...) wants to get another Husqvarna, as my brother got one last year. Out with a knee injury our dad started to ride it regularly and is convinced it is the best thing since sliced bread.I try to...

I wish we would have legit GNCC racing here on a local level. Or local races on club level coming back for people as a starting point for racing. Lowest level is still a whole day at a track with about 40 minutes of riding for 50s. We can get more bike time within a three hour practice period.

People can rant all they want about pricing, but that's how the world is nowadays. I am personally interested. The Yamaha/KTM hybrid seems like a great blend. Actually cheaper than a new KTM with spring forks. Spare parts availability and pricing cannot be worse than with Pierer Group, so there's that. I just talked to a local dealer. April/ May...

German Motocross is in a bad situation it seems. Depending on a very limited number of people that seem to lose their enthusiasm. The federation is doing a horrible job with communication, innovation and attracting people to take responsibility.
My boy watches YouTube and I explain to him from time to time what is special with the riding styles. Lawrence's body positioning, Tomac going through corners with feet on pegs, Deegan doing motos without a clutch... Some of it may be too early, but I am always impressed how much of a visual learner my kid is. He's keeping...

When and by whom was this "honest" stuff started? I get people wanting to open up, but emphasizing honesty tells me they haven't been before. Maybe it's just me being my usual self and taking things by the word and not getting irony. You may tell I'm also great at parties.

Hey Lewis, are you broing down with Jeff at Gaildorf this weekend? Of all the places, this is the least I would have expected him to race at.

What makes you think a rider of that age is going to have a successful international career in MXGP? The ship has sailed by that point. If you haven't shown promise by 16 internationally, becoming a professional MX racer is not a good choice fo your life. Doing the ADAC, French or Dutch Championship as an expensive hobby might be...

In a german review I read the battery went from 95 to 54% in the short 10min / 4 lap session. That is in perfect temperature on a dry hard track.
So when did this thread derail? Let's talk about this bike and its future. Instead people focus who's pro and who's not. I couldn't care less. It doesn't influence me one bit. They don't ride with me and I don't compete with them. I'm halfway through the podcast. Anton Wass seems like a humble guy with reasonable ambitions. When he...
