It's amazing how people can justify stealing!! WOW!! The quality of films like the ANTHILL demo reel is unheard of. As a comparison look at some of the early Gary Bailey instructional videos. There is no comparison! I wish you the very best Wes... good luck.

How are you so sure that it is Burn1986? He is way too classy to do something as boneheaded as this... To answer the opening post, the petition is being reviewed by the AMA, but as far as I know they have not voted on it one way or the other.
All I can say is... holy crap! Folks from both sides have moved so far afield from Newmann's original post that it's not recognizable. Personally I had the opportunity to meet him in Texas, he's a great guy with a huge love for the sport of motocross. He supplied some bikes for display and was part of an award for...

JohnnyO_57 Added a reply to DC, here's an honest question.

I wouldn't mind quieter bikes... two years ago at Southwick I was unable to tel my buddy standing right next to me that I saw something cool on the track. I wouldn't have minded except we were shouting into each others ears and couldn't hear. There was some talk about adopting the FIM rules but have not heard whether it...

The most important point is to not have "flexable" rules. Some people have problems with heat, some with mud, some with ruts... are the rules going to change for each of these conditions and more? How about doing something positive, create a fact sheet informing racers what the initial symptoms of heat exhaustion are. Then each racer could make the...

New Video... Did some dyno testing on the new bike yesterday... we want to get a "second" opinion before releasing any numbers, but what we have is stronger than we thought! 2T42 is pretty close. Before you go thinking we are just saying stuff to get folks excited, the former COO of Boyesen Engineering was a witness. The...

GuyB, isn't this sort of important? And maybe worth knowing the actual rules? I'm not asking to bust balls or to prove some conspiracy theory. It would help me out greatly because to be honest I'd prefer that our team races a different brand machine.... With all your contacts, can't you at least point me in the right direction? Shouldn't...

Does anyone know the actual homologation rules for 2010? I've heard lot's of rumors but nothing in writing, where it might be helpful... can anyone point me in the right direction? As for the WMA, was that overturned? Now the 250 two-stroke is not allowed? Must have missed that one! Huh

If your determined enough, it's possible. My wife had our child with absolutely no drugs... a lady who is so sensitive to pain if I poke her with my finger too hard she rubs her arm!! Good Luck Ellie and Chad!

Rock I agree with you 100%, sound is an issue (along with dust and other problems associated with the racing of motocross machines) What I have a hard time understanding are the people in our sport that think they have a "right" to be as loud as they possible can. This is not new and has been around for the...

Doug was entered in the support class at the Unadilla Trans AMA in 1976. While I don't remember how he placed that day in the event, I remember seeing him practice his wheelies on his Maico, early on Sunday morning. He was amazing on his full race bike. Even without the motor spinning the front wheel he could wheelie for...

I know this is off-topic, but according to AJ at Service Powersports (the makers of the 500AF) those bikes are homologated and legal to race in AMA Pro Racing. As long as they are half the displacement of the four-strokes!Wink

X2 Keyboard jocks spouting off about something they have NO FACTS about, just makes no sense. By the way, doesn't anyone work at work anymore??? Get back to work so the economy can improve, and before they out-source your job.

DC You have an extremely tough road ahead. It's not easy being on the "hot" seat... But don't let the detractors derail the progress that you have already made. Keep on keeping on! The Nationals have improved over the past year in many wonderful ways, I look forward to seeing what you guys implement next!
...we want to be free to ride our machines without being hassled by The Man.... Some people need to lighten up... it is about fun after all. Many of the two-stroke faithful only want to have a fairness that allows at least some manufacturers to build the bikes they want to buy. It also helps to have fair rules across...
