That's great! I still have hope then! I'm 37, and in the last couple years, the weight only seems to add and never subtract. That is really on me though and just being lazy about it. Thanks for the kick in the ass!

Years ago I lost a bunch of weight... all by calorie counting.... nothing feels better than being thin fellas... yoga and moto is all you really need to be in great shape...

This is the best encouragement we can give to our moto brothers. I am short, only 5’5. I quit riding around 09 and gained so much weight. Boredom, depression, no hobby like MX. In 2023 I was at my worst. 247LB. I ruptured 3 discs and budged 2 others in a work accident. I was fat, injured, helpless. I hated feeling that way, like a burden to my wife and kids. While recovering from surgery I was reading the 2023 450 shootout and told myself it was time to ride again. I needed motivation to get off of the couch...

I’ve dropped over 80lb over the last year. I just hit what I originally thought was my goal weight, but it certainly appears another 20-25 would be doable. The one thing I certainly do not want to do is try to lose weight in season next year. Being over 45, it’s all my body could handle to recover from each race weekend. Very good chance that I can continue to drop excess weight while properly fueling for training and races. Last year at this time, my training load was 3-5hr a week. This year I’m hitting 8-10hr and not even...

Way to go man! I'm 5-10 and a decade older then you but I felt 165 was my optimum weight also. What i also like in your post is the $150 stationary bike. I lost a bunch of weight in 2001 by riding an 11 year old schwin bicycle every day after work. Just gotta get the heart rate up for a bit. And eat less. It can be simple.

That is very impressive, 76 pounds or there about. Took a lot of dedication and guess 4-5 different sets of clothes along the way but worth it.

Thats awesome! Very impressive. If you don't mind me asking, how old are you now when you lost all the weight? You're going to have to change your username along with spring weights!

Motocross is basically free compared to most motorsport. I spend more in 2 rounds of road racing than a season of mx.

The problem all around isn’t necessarily the inflation it is the fact that salaries have not kept up for decades.

Just take the L and move on guy

Do you hammer the gears and clutch? Unless you plan on dramatically increasing the hours next year (and don't want to touch it until next winter), I'd just leave it alone. 16 hours isn't much for a Vet rider, on a top end.

People seem to like the tusk wheels from rcmatvmc.

I have a little info on this. Ross / Enzo has supported the team since the early day. At first this was with testing, service, and components (they bought some stuff, as every factory level team dos). Eventually the team brought on an in-house tech as it grew. Drew Hopkins was the first I believe…maybe around 2013? Soemthing like that. Ross still helped with setting and component advice, helped source stuff from KYB, occasionally assisted in testing when requested. The team has continued to grow and has since added more techs. I think the 250 team has two right now...

Exactly and if I keep my roll speed up I just lug it without much clutch. Doesn’t sound impressive but I’m moving pretty good

This is what I have found, much like a 450, 2nd gear will wear you out, 3rd chugs good then little clutch and you flying

I’m actually running a 50 now to corner in third. Aside from a super tight 180 I can run third gear everywhere with the occasional shift to 4th on long straights

I have a 25 300SX, also have 150 hrs on my 23 300sx…Based off my previous experience on the new 300 platform I went straight to my 14-50 gearing…. I could make the 49 work but often found myself between 2nd & 3rd, the 50 rear allowed me to use 3rd as my main gear for most situations…I ride mostly Mx with some Gncc type woods loops…now with that said…after my WMR reflash of stock EcU …I could probably use the 49 rear on a hardpack or intermediate track. I ride mostly sand or deep disced dirt, so I will...
