Ping does it again! Ping always shoots from the hip and tells it like he sees it and his BIG 8 page article on SuperMoto past / present / future is a must see article in the NEW January Racer X. If you are in any way involved with SuperMoto get this magazine when it hits the stands in a...
The old Una-fricken-dilla was a one of a kind track that did not get touched accept to throw grass seed on it after the race and mow the grass before the next years race. ZERO discing or tilling for 10 or 15 years! OK they knocked down the berm in the 1st turn before the next start. The woops were...

After Hank destroyed his foot and had it all fused back together he was never the same. I wrenched for him when he was making his come back. Hanks dad Henry was a real piece of work but paid well. After being there for 2 weeks Henry told me to have the wife quit her job start packing and move...

You really should know the history of the rules. The 4 stroke displacement rules were written and in the rule books from the 70's to give the heavy and slow 4 strokes an advantage. Yamaha was smart enough to create the technology and change the sport and the others followed. I still ride/race a 2001 YZ250. Back to the OP.......why...

Exotic bikes are not for everyone........but if you like having people notice what you are riding instead of just blending in then there is nothing better.

Magoo was in the 500 class. Wasnt Hannah racing a Honda 250 then? In 84 that was a top notch track......How much whining would todays Pro riders be doing on that track?

The reason Doug crashed was because a guy (squid) took off his fuel catch tank (not my product) that was not vented properly making his bike run bad. It dumped a bunch of gas on the track and 2 other riders almost ate it just before Doug. Jason Conlon was inches from the same wall. There has been a big...

It is SOOOOOOO....great to hear Mike is out of jail and sounds like he has gotten his life in order. He was wicked fast and smooth. He would have easily made it as a pro back then. As I recall he finished 5th OA that year in Michigan. Last I heard (several years ago) Mikes brother had a small shop...
