Any word on the pricing? I currently wear a 10 year old Arai. I'd love to get a new one, but damn I can get two Fly F2s for the price of one of the new Arais. Too bad Fly doesn't seem to sell the MIPS version in Europe.

I love me some Kelly and Izer. And Steves anecdotes about the foolish industry people is always entertaining. Current favourite is Daniel Blairs show.

Exactly my thoughts. I'm more curious on if the bike handles better. My brothers current model has a twitchy front end, yet understeers in corners. The engine vibrates like crazy, the shifting is hideous. Don't get me started on the stock muffler. I don't care much about looks, but the noise is deafening. On top of that the plastics break...

so what's the real world difference then for the '16 and '17 model dry and full with liquids?

I just listened to the latest PulpMX episode with Webb as a guest and his manfriend in studio. I'm sorry, it was a let-down on Matthes part. You can't accuse someone of lying, but act like everything is fine when you talk to him. On top of that complaining of the douchiness of the industry raegarding this. What a double-standard.
I can only agree, I really like listening to that podcast. The forearm stretch topic that started a couple shows ago got me giggling. The first moment I saw the device, I questioned the price. After a short study on ART, I was convinced it's overpriced. Then Nick chimes in on the podcast and it all makes even more sense.

Well that principle worked when PC was the main player in the field. Ever since Geico, KTM and Star upped their game, things have changed.
He may have his antics, but from a fans perspective he is an awesome rider. His riding style is great and he shows a lot of passion and heart. My questions are: Is it his "fault" that he's winning by big margins quite often, or is it weak competition? There are so many class veterans (Tonkov, Anstie, ...) in MX2...

I think that ship has sailed. I still think though he has a better chance of finding a spot on a US 250 satellite team than on a MXGP team.

And a surprising change to the reasoning he went to RCH. At HRC it's way more corporate than even at KTM I guess.

Not gonna happen with that much upcoming talent at Team Green. Soubeyras is good, but I doubt Mitch sees the potential for a permanent ride.

Well I think he must have had enough chances to prove himself in the past, but didn't take them. He made his own bed, now he has to lie in it.

Don't know about your regions, but here it seems a lot consider themselves athletes nowadays on social media. It's laughable to be honest. I question their outlook on life in general. Other than that the just-for-fun riding and licence-free racing is spreading along with the beginner class. Regionally and even nationally the racing scene is very poor, filling not even...

Should be a good 2017 for Mitch with Savatgy and AC. I can see them clean house and win all three championships.

To be fair a LOT of people would never be let on a track again if you want to go that principle. I love this sport, but cannot think of a similar one where more stupid people have a meeting each weekend. This goes for riders, teams, spectators, ...

I'm with you. This and the ongoing mentality of looking for the "next big thing" in regards to riders. It seems to me everybody is only looking at riders coming up, but denying the talent that is proven. It's a pity that guys like Chisholm, Weimer and so on get left out with good rides.

It was the finish line jump Van Horebeek crashed, among others. It was a pretty windy day I guess. The jump Duncan went down is the tunnel jump on the vendors side.
