Mototech853 Added a reply to Sexton leaving Kawasaki?

Eli didn’t train with Star. You never heard anything from his camp. He was trusted to train on his own. At this point as a team would you allow Sexton to train on his own? I like the idea of him leaving Kawi and doing his own thing. Good or bad then there’s nobody to blame but himself.

I rolled my ankle second quarter of a high school football game. Ankle was purple and I couldn’t put weight on it. Trainer taped it and said he would “lock my heel in” whatever that meant. I played the rest of the game and ran on it like nothing happened. It was said they went back to the normal peg...

My last two trucks were extended cab 6.5’ beds. I’m currently looking for a 3/4 ton so I can move to an 8’ bed. Two bikes and camping gear and a 6.5’ bed is full with the tailgate down. Kids want to bring mountain bikes but there’s no room left in a 6.5’. The one foot might not make a...
This raised an eyebrow when I heard it so I looked back through Pit Bits to see what clutch setup he’s using. Maybe if he went down and buried the bar in the dirt there’s a chance a rock or dirt could interfere with the lever. I would file this with Sexton’s “rock stuck in the throttle body” on the...

I think he’s been mentioning bike setup the last few weeks. Kind of a I’m not making excuses but here’s the excuse. He’s also used the Lawrence’s have years on their bike excuse and he’s a rookie on the 450. If he wouldn’t have started the season with the drama I think more people wouldn’t have anything bad to say...

I laugh every time I hear a media member mention the high revving Desmo Ducati. I would like to hear any of the maybe with the exception of Keefer explain the Desmo system. I had a long talk with a Ducati rep at the Ironman GNCC about the bike and Ducati in general. One of the many things he said...
Are all the other riders not grinding? Does Tomac ride around on his tractor all day? Lawrence’s driving their cars around all day? Prado hanging out at the beach eating tapas? Deegan shows everyone his hard work on social media. Some riders choose to show their hard work on the track. Doesn’t mean they are not grinding.
Are the Lawrence’s expected to not get any better? Have either one reached their ceiling? I keep hearing this is a learning year for Deegan and wait until next year. Hunter is faster this year and Jett is just as fast as Hunter while recovering from an injury. I guess the competition can hope they don’t gel with the 2027...

I believe in the five minute cooldown rule. If I have a bad race I pull over after the finish and collect myself before I go back to the truck. I’ve instructed my son to do the same. I think the comparison to other sports is slightly off. When a baseball player strikes out or QB throws an interception they...

On topic my son says it takes him a few minutes to readjust to the brakes on his mountain bike after racing his dirt bike but never the other way around. I’ve had an Ellsworth Joker and Santa Cruz Nomad built by LBS and they didn’t want to swap the front to the right side. Never knew why bicycles were...

I owned a tool truck for nine years so I’m well versed in ratchet drive sizes. My 14 year old son has been spending more time in the garage with me and asked the simple question of why are the ratchet drives imperial when the ROW uses the metric system. A 2010 Polaris Ranger I was working on used some...
