There's been a lot of buzz about the Blackbird and NASA lately. Speculation that they are returning one to flight, or using it as a baseline. Also talk about declassifying something for NASA to use. An SR-71 Blackbird Has Vanished (Updated)

Must be new around these parts.

One, why did Matthes say it was a “rumor” that Deegan is asking for bonus money. Can a journalist get someone on the phone and on the record? Sheesh… Two, this race is all about pride.Either you wanna step up and prove you’re the baddest mofo on the planet, or you stay the fuck at home. Nobody owes you jack for going. If your country wants to help with expenses, cool. If not, also cool. But expecting to get paid to “represent your country?” That’s some grifter shit that has nothing to do with the spirit of this event. IMHO.

Living thru those age bands, like we all have if you are of a certain age, it is interesting to reflect on. For me I was 100%+ into motocross starting in junior high. This was the age of DeCoster, the up and coming Brad Lackey, Heikki Mikkola, Indian Dunes, Carlsbad, CZs, Maico, Bultaco, etc. I missed Joel Robert by about a year... How many of you rode your custom fabricated BMX bike (because they really did not exist yet - you had to strip down that Schwinn Sting Ray you had) down to the local dealer on Thursday to get...

Everyone knows the SR-71 Blackbird. Far fewer people know that before the Air Force ever flew it, the CIA was secretly operating an even faster version of the same design, and would deny its existence for the next 30 years. That aircraft was the Lockheed A-12, code named Oxcart. It was the Blackbird's predecessor, designed by the same legendary team at Lockheed's Skunk Works under Clarence "Kelly" Johnson, and it flew first. Where the SR-71 was a two seat aircraft built for and flown by the US Air Force, the A-12 was a single seat machine built in secret for...

I agree that at times he looked to be riding over his head. I suppose if you don’t at least try to hang , how do you know what it’s actually going to take to hang. The situation is definitely a rough one for Danger. There’s no doubt that he’s really talented . The problem is , that he is going up against IMO the fastest, smoothest , most talented rider that there has ever been, with a couple years experience on him. If DangerBoy is going to hang with Jett he’s going to have to smooth out his style...

Back in the good old days we didn't need no AMA rules....you went off the track the banners got wrapped tight around your rear wheel/brake and you were lucky to lose only 7 spots. Don't fuck with the banners me ho.😗

4 time world champion Prado showing his KTM is vastly superior to the Kawasaki by beating Marchbanks by 1 second.

You put Jett and Hunter at Kawi and they would be kick’n butt and Chase at Honda, he would still be washing and tucking the frontend and talking trash on Honda. And people would say Team Honda was a trash team as well as the bike.

I would grab RJ he would send that Kawi and wouldnt give up. Marchbanks shows that bike is fine its just the nut job elite riders having issues

Bingo How bad can the bike be if you win SX races?

I think Marchbanks slowed down in order to not pass his teammate. He was moving through the pack pretty well, then stopped moving forward once he caught Chase. If he's able, he should pass him. It's not disrespect.

The bike won two races this year, was in podium year before and their number two guy just got 5th overall in a stacked class. It's not the bike

Heard the bike rolled off and never tucked the front without him on it

I tend to agree. It ain't the bike. Look what Marchbanks is doing on it, and he's not the same speed as Chase. I've been a Chase fan for a long time. He grew up not real far from where I used to live, and rode at our local track in Illinois. But It's tough rooting for him when he's being such a little bitch. Kawi is paying him big bucks to ride and represent the brand, he's doing a poor job at both. I'm just about over his whining and his attitude.
