I'm guessing these fees will kill a lot of the privateer YouTube vlogs. Privateers trying to get as much exposure as possible for the guys that help them go racing, nope, we can't have that. 🙄 For the factory teams/riders it's just another expense/write off. Sucks, but they have deeper pockets. IMO, it's still not right.

Talked to two OEM heads of racing that care a lot, as the costs in these guidelines will affect everything they get to market their teams, riders, sponsors, etc.

It will be interesting to see if there's any push back from the manufacturers and aftermarket who, for advertising purposes, collectively have millions invested in the race teams and riders. While editorial photos are important, photographers--many of whom are connected to and shooting for companies in the industry--go to the races with a laundry list of very specific images these companies need for their upcoming advertising and catalogues. If that image pipeline is disrupted because they can't have "their" photo guy in the pits or on the field, there might be some resistance from the companies who pay for the...

Good example of how people get fooled into being distracted by culture wars stories, rather than seeing what the real issue is. The decline in customer service is a direct result of companies trying to extract as much money as possible while doing less and less. There are challenges for all businesses out there, I own a business myself and I’m sure Luxon could chime in and talk about how difficult it is to run a successful business, but there’s a big difference in running your business efficiently and mistreating your customers/providing bad service just so you can make more...

Moving to a phone auto-attendant was one of the best things we ever did. We used to get a spam call every 15 minutes, but after installing that, we rarely get a spam call. And that was 10 years ago. I bet it's way worse now with AI call bots. I try to keep the message quick and to the...

Part of the reason for the automated menu systems is all the AI automated spam calls. We would get between 30 and 50 calls per day that we had to answer, it was time consuming and would make you not want to answer the phone with a smile. We had menu system installed, not one spammer has gotten through. What a relief. So, blame spammers for small business automated answering systems.

No pinch bolt on KTM clamps? Damn I might need to order another set. I cannot stand the pinch bolt design.

The first time i pulled my 450 Husky apart, to fit ICE Parts SM clamps, i could not believe it. There is no way the pinch bolt design is an improvement, it creates a massive potential failure point.

You want the threads to run out into an undercut, which is a relief smaller in diameter than the thread minor diameter. Shown with the green arrows here: without the undercut, the threads end at the full diameter, which creates a stress riser and a recipe for fatigue failure (red arrows below).

Hmmm, that’s a scary one… Did you have any big crashes prior to this? It is clear it cracked previously, then fatigued over time till it broke through completely just recently. But what caused that is the question… Stems in general don’t see a lot of stress unless something is out of whack. Over-tightening the bearing won’t do it. It’s...

Jorge can see where Harrison is... Harrison has moved to the side of the track, but Jorge follows him, trying to block Jett... Boxing himself in when Jett cuts back to the inside... Harrison did nothing wrong, it was Jorge's decision to take that line.
