All

Thanks everyone. I know motocrossers all have strong opinions and so do I. At almost 60 years old now I pretty much take everything with a grain of salt and know that the truth always bubbles to the top. Clearly I need to get a hold of Joe Newman and get his input. I appreciate your advice paradigm, I was...

Thanks paradigm. Good info. The bike is on the second bore and it is fresh. Other than that it has only been lightly ridden and bone stock. I may have found a Thor swing arm and I have a line on an FMF pipe, a webco Head or a FMF porcupine. I know the FMF head is more show than...

Thanks for the tip. I 'll message him. Every time I do a net search for a trick part or info on an Elsinore I would end up finding Vital threads. I usually found the best info and was always impressed on how the people here helped get racers going with their bikes. Guess I shouldn't have been surprised. Even...

I hear you Hman. TBS took a path much different than I ever would. Let's face it, motorcycles have always and will always have an association with outlaws. If not because we know it, on a subconscious level, I think most of us share a rebellious nature and are drawn to motorcycles. TBS is a guy who stays to true...

I looked. I had taken a few that day. I found one of us stopped on a gravely dirt road straightening out a shift lever that got bent when a guy went down trying to drift a turn. It's kinda boring. I can't find the others I like of us in the sand wash with cattle in the background. I'll...

Yep. You know the place! I swear the story is 100% true. As noted by a few in this thread, TBS is an animal. Not trying to add to the legend (TBS doesn't need it) but after starting at Billy Jacks in Dewey and stopping every 30 min for a "cold one", TBS insisted we stop in the next town...

Truth can be stranger than fiction. In this case it was as strange as it can be. I took this picture and texted it to my wife right before we took off for the ride. I told her send the police here if I don't come home by sundown...

I really appreciate that. I grew up on Jody, Mr. Know it all and Super Hunky Super Hunky was my fave

Easy to write when it's true. I think the only thing that wasn't right was the population of the town - I went back and checked - it's is about 4,000 people not 1,000. Admittedly, I guessed. The story was starting to go long so I left out the part where Trail Boss Shane stopped and told us, "if you...

I can hook you up if you ever get to Central Az...

LOL... Yeah, thought about that. If you can read fast it will take you about 3 mns...

1. It's not my math - it's history 2. Yes history does say Marv has better odds than the other riders. 3. Between Marv & Webb it is about attitude 4. I am going with Webb over Marv

Haha.. yeah my memory sucks no need to argue about that. Yep, RV started in 2009 vs 2010 - just proves my point further... As far as my point goes, history is a pretty reliable look at what the future holds. Even in motocross. Forget Webb. At this point in history, you would be foolish to bet against DeCoster and...

Outside of "the numbers" attitude is huge. Cooper was raw and honest in that interview and exemplified exactly the attitude it takes to win a Championship. So what does Webb have that the "stacked field" doesn't have outside of the odds and the right attitude? Decoster & Baker. I have said it before.... If it was your retirement savings and...

Oh brother.... 1. Carmichael won his first 250 Otdoor title in 2000 beating Tortelli after getting waxed by McGrath that year in SX 2. RV only made it two rounds in '09 before moving up full time to the 450 class in 2010. 3. 'Struggle" says who? You / me? Really not worth arguing over subjective stuff. I go with...

All I am saying is that history puts the odds on his side...

merci beaucoup! I spent 3 months last year in France (Ardèche) and will be returning next year to do some more riding. Do you know of a place near Avignon that has them? How easy would it be to have it shipped to the US? Any chance you know of a US dealer? Oh, and by the way... Congrats on...
