KTMShane699 Started a new thread Post a pic of your road bike (bicycle)
4/23/2018 8:06pm Since we have a thread for MTB, I thought I'd start one for road bikes. Looks like there's more than a couple cyclists around here! I try to do at least one long course triathlon a year (full iron or half iron). I'm not fast, but for me it's going the distance that matters more than my time. And improving...

KTMShane699 Started a new thread 2014 KTM 250 SX Build
11/30/2017 7:58am Hey guys, I'm new here to VitalMX but I'm happy to make a return to MX. I grew up racing, but stopped in 2001 retiring as an amateur racer. I decided to ride street for a while. After having the itch for a while to ride moto again…I've finally decided to scratch it. I sold my street bike and picked...

KTMShane699 Added a reply to Full face helmet recommendation for 15 month old
12/26/2016 6:02am At fifteen months, a child doesn't have the necessary muscle structure to support the additional weight of a helmet on their head. Kids are bobble heads to begin with due to the disproportionate weight of their head. Adding weight compounds the problem. And like any helmet for anyone...fit is paramount. All that being said, I don't think I'd be putting...

12/22/2016 6:30pm It is really good. So is Making a Murderer. Both more than worth the watch.
KTMShane699 Added a reply to POS thieves at Vegas Yamaha dealership
12/22/2016 6:21pm It's been bad. The dealership I work for got hit twice in a week. Once got three bikes. Then came back but the bikes were more secure. I hate thieves.
KTMShane699 Added a reply to tld/ktm plastic color
12/17/2016 6:20am They used to be painted when that body style first came out and there was no plastic to be had other than stock colors. The paint wouldn't really last long, so I can't see them having stuck with it. As for the color, I don't know if it's OEM or some other color specifically.
KTMShane699 Added a reply to Weimer SOL?
12/6/2016 6:05pm Nothing to add for questions, but wanted to say you taking the time to post and chat candidly here with us about your situation made me a fan. I hope you can put something acceptable together for next year and wish you all the luck in the world.
KTMShane699 Added a reply to The end in sight...
12/2/2016 5:20am Fans don't provide the capital up front to field a team. There's a reason why factory efforts started seeking outside sponsorship. It wasn't out of desire as much of need. Race teams don't make money when you look at their expenses. The money involved to the manufacturer is offset by the money from outside sponsors making it worthwhile. This very...
KTMShane699 Added a reply to James Stewart is not done yet !
11/20/2016 5:11am But from a sponsorship point of view, how do autographs relate to sales?
KTMShane699 Added a reply to Medical Facilities/Best Doctors/Surgeons Forum
11/3/2016 10:48am I'll agree with MDMCG. You're asking for a "plan" to be in place, when one already exists. Prehospital providers work on a set of protocols, and part of our decision making is choosing an appropriate facility for the patient. If you think professional motocross racers are the only ones capable of getting injured this badly, you're wrong. People get paralyzed...
KTMShane699 Added a reply to Wilson
10/28/2016 2:11am I was thinking the same thing you were. People discount Reed as not competitive, but when you look at results he's definitely there. It's funnier when people say Reed is done but someone like Wilson is a better choice. Wilson goes well, but he's no Reed. Good call bringing up the results from the vault. But facts in discussions here...
KTMShane699 Added a reply to CTi Custom Right Knee Brace
10/27/2016 5:13pm Not to rain on your sale. But people should know that a custom brace that's not custom to them is not a good idea. The custom part comes from the way it aligns with your leg and the angles in which they are. It also has to do with it's fit to your musculature. Someone would be better off with...
KTMShane699 Added a reply to Stewart (s) at Straight Rythym
10/23/2016 4:58am Malcolm was racing overseas in what could be his last ride with Geico. And James is still searching for a ride. If they don't show up, the event still goes on. No big conspiracy or anything like that. And somehow I doubt James shows up at A1 "totally fit, solid as a rock and more focused than ever." He didn't...

KTMShane699 Added a reply to Deano - No ride?
10/22/2016 7:02am I'm thinking you don't know quite what goes into factory bikes at the US level. I'll openly admit that the Japanese bikes are true "works" bikes. But to say the factory bikes in the US is "basically stock" is quite a stretch. Different motor internals, different suspensions, unobtainable parts not sold to the public, different compound tires, linkages with different...

10/22/2016 3:11am You're kidding, right? The Suzuki that won the nationals was far from stock. It was a fully supported factory bike.

KTMShane699 Added a reply to I'm Pissed off Malcom doesn't have a ride!!!!
10/21/2016 2:41pm This thread will have some comedy gold in it. Can't wait. But on a serious note, the guy did eight races last year by choice. That's a tough season. I don't know how he did it. Maybe he shouldn't have taken the summer off and kept in front of sponsors showing his worth?
KTMShane699 Added a reply to James Stewart REd Bull TV
10/21/2016 7:08am I didn't watch the whole thing, but it seems to be. It makes it confusing since it says it's for 2016. It even shows him as one of the athletes but not on the entry list. I might not be quite so surprised to see him show up this weekend on something.
