Nobody has told him it's not 2008 anymore.

Matthes is stuck in the past with his GP takes. He's living in 2011, not 2021.

Should he not be praised? Did you watch some of the lines he was taking? Or wheelieing thru that one rough left hander? Or cutting down so tight in those uphill 180 things? The dude is a monster and amazing to watch.

Have people forgotten that one of those guys went over a couple of years ago and won both motos on a borrowed bike with hardly any prep?

I thought he ditched it due to the new Airoh helmet contacting in more? Either way, I don’t care what the pros wear or don’t wear. I still run an atlas.

He brought it up on the Whiskey Throttle Show too. That’s sort of his point. Amateurs here are racing barely around 6 to 10 laps if that for a 12 to 15 minute race if they’re lucky. It’s a sprint with not enough time to make things happen and race. He said the amateurs here struggle when moving to the pro ranks because they aren’t used to longer racing time with more laps. They also don’t know how to race a longer race since they’ve grown up racing sprints. His stance is Europe doesn’t have that issue which makes it...

Personally, when it comes to the new 350s...I'd go with the Husky due to the 1 inch lower suspension that brings the ride height down and apparently makes for easier cornering.

Hey Mav....this was the first mention of the Legends title. But yeah, I guess I missed the new mva title thread. Actually I saw it but it's generic so I forgot about it. We have a title now!

Cool stat. I wish they had a “grand national” champion still.

One of the best ever no doubt. He's earned it.

Tony Cairoli has nothing to prove to anybody. He’s still capable of beating the fastest riders in the world at an age well past where most riders have retired due to loss of ability to run with the younger guns. He has a lovely wife, a child, and has amassed a fortune that will allow his family to live well for the rest of their lives. I’m guessing he’s just tired of the damned grind. Congratulations, TC222…you’ve earned it.

Horses for courses, as they say. Some people want their bike to feel like a four-door SUV, and others (like me, for example), want it to feel like a sports car.

Ktm is the new Honda. But they seem to keep their riders.

Lmao easily Yes. Have you seen Lomel, Kegums, etc? I love American Moto. Our tracks are gorgeous and pristine. The euros have GNARLY tracks

I hated mine like i said. I even dropped 1k on the suspension and still hated it. Thing was a dump truck handling wise, hit way too hard off the bottom, signed off early, tiring, no confidence, no flow, literally the worst bike for me ive had. Someone mentioned riding it a gear higher, it didnt matter for me. I tried being 3rd everywhere at minimum and still just didnt work for me. Someone else mentioned 500s also. Ive owned a couple cr500s and they were much much more rideable to me then the 15 kawi. They came on smoother...

You don't luck into 3 MXGP championships. Gajser is legit. As him being underrated, here in the forums could be; however just take a look at the crowd supporting him where it matters: at the races. It's amazing how much following he has, and then of course back in Slovenia he is a recognized national figure.

Gasjer is the most under rated multi champion we have seen in the past 10 years

I have always thought all bikes were so close that it was a matter of pick you colour and you will be as fast on any brand, since I was 10yo I was happy to argue that. I had a yz450 and yep it’s a pig, it changed my mind. I rode a ktm450 for half an hour and it felt like a UFO.....very strange. Then I checked my lap times and I was substantially quicker despite being uncomfortable....so I bought one and have made it suit me. The extra confidence it has given me has wound the clock back...

7gs and 50hours isn’t a deal.
