12/19/2024 9:11am 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?

4/29/2024 11:01pm 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...

4/24/2024 2:17am 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...

3/5/2024 8:53am 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.

2/28/2024 6:11am 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...

1/24/2024 4:00am What would they use the higher revs for? 3-speed transmission?

8/28/2023 9:33am 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.

8/17/2023 6:53am 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...

8/6/2023 9:32pm How come Europe produces so many good racers without facilities?

8/5/2023 10:41am 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.

8/5/2023 10:24am 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.

10/19/2022 11:35pm And I thought I was the only one thinking this job doesn't match him. Following his whole career, I always thought he has a rather non-restricted lifestyle. Somehow I don't see him making it more than two years. KTM's motocross management seems pretty blown up...

9/8/2022 1:06am 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...

6/12/2022 12:03am 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.

3/18/2022 12:05am 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...

3/8/2022 11:20am The routing of the front brake hose already freaks me out. Googling for Greenger doesn't help. Seems like they have been around some time with a similar bike.

2/24/2022 1:24am What about a Leatt 7.5? Seems to be very well priced, also with a goggle. They are also ECE 22.06 tested. I don't know if by purpose or by mistake, but Leatt publishes the testing report on their website.
