Wow a thread coming up that I made when I was 17

Since everyone is replying again, I may aswell add something to this: I know Feld doesn’t support privateers enough and that the entry fees are bullshit expensive but living in your van and riding ... more »

People have lost sight of the true value of money since everything is financed these days. $50k sounds like nothing when it’s $300 a week over 4 years.

This would be unreal. Even a simple CFD model would be awesome

I completely agree. There are obviously independent bodies that perform these tests but no real information or even videos are released on the testing. In Australia you can search your car model into the ANCAP website and it will show footage of your ... more »

I think there have been a few light bulb moments around cali this week

There will always be a reason for people to complain. From 8 years experience working in a bike shop, the ones complaining aren't really the ones buying the bikes anyway?

This thread was cool until it got to 2 strokes vs 4 strokes. Use them to benefit each other I reckon - I’d rather put 100 hours on a 2 stroke 300 than on my 250f - It’ll make your 250f feel slow - improving your confidence (hopefully in proportion to ... more »

I’m not shocked at all May 16 the media is going to put this bike in the spotlight and pre orders will boom. If they announce the delay after the media launch, they will upset 100,000 people with refundable preorders. Do it this week when you’ll only ... more »

Just put my money where my mouth is Pre-ordered the 300SX. November ETA for West Aus

Anyone know if the huskies are getting an upgrade on the body work? I know the factory edition was the same as the 22

I was so hyped for the 2022 YZ, and now KTM have come out with a TBI SX range and now I’m not sure. Is everyone still considering the YZ? I’ve heard it’s only marginal gains which makes sense given 2 stroke development hit a plateau 20 years ago

We need a 20 year old with a tonne of drive and decent talent to win lotto and then throw the kitchen sink at trying to make a main by 30. Would be interesting to see this type of experiment not just in MX/SX, but superbikes and car racing aswell. This ... more »

That's a great point regarding motor skills. On the subject of early development, I wonder if being exposed to adrenaline at a young age plays a part in over coming it as an adult

I have, but I didn't know his story until I searched it just then... Was he always riding at tracks/practicing until 20? or was he fresh to it?

Thanks everyone for your kind words! I’m certainly glad I wasn’t a kid that was given everything on a silver platter because that can so easily take the passion away. Passion for this sport definitely gives me drive in my day to day. Also thankful that ... more »

Technical issues have been worked out! Vital will only let me upload screenshots of the photo, not the actual photo...

But yes I am ecstatic. I've sold a tonne of bikes, parts and accessories during my 6 years of uni (+2 years at ... more »

Not sure why but couldn't add these photos to the original post but this would be the best day of my life to date!
