mustard530 Added a reply to Glen Helen history question?
5/25/2026 8:07pm There’s also miles of single track in the hills above both tracks going all the way back to the 15 fwy/ amphitheater that get used for off road races. I’ve even raced on the CHP road course that is out past the truck track during a 24hr of Glen Helen. They also hosted a hard enduro for years there, probably...

mustard530 Added a reply to Vertex vs ktm oem?? 23 sxf450
3/30/2026 6:01pm 2 stroke Ktm’s have vertex as OEM. 4 strokes use CP as OEM. I think the CP has a better ring design than the vertex 4 stroke pistons. The last few vertex I used in my 350 seemed to burn some oil where the OEM I took out didn’t. Depending on how many hours are on it maybe just throw...

11/14/2025 12:40pm The course is so much rougher nowadays from 800+ horsepower trucks with 40” tires and too much pre running that bikes can’t keep up the speed averages that the trucks do.

10/3/2025 10:11pm Hit a turkey vulture at about 80mph at the Baja 1000, narrowly missed a kangaroo the jumped out of the bush at the Australian 4 Day enduro and have had to slam on the brakes for countless deer and 1 black bear up in the Sequoias. Here’s what was left of the vulture 400 miles later

6/21/2025 3:23pm Random fact, I had to redo all the conduits on the roof and pull all new wire to the A/C units on that building when they first bought it. Some tweakers had gotten up there and stole all the copper wire while it was vacant

4/9/2025 6:00pm Kinda blows my mind the teams aren’t putting in a waterless coolant like Evans in the bike for the mud races. The boiling point is like 375 degrees on that stuff
mustard530 Added a reply to Another horrible take from Catanzaro
3/7/2025 10:08pm I’d say there’s definitely more variables in the woods and things to bounce your head and body off of but big jumps on a moto track are pretty dangerous also, so they are probably at the same level of danger in my opinion. However I will say desert racing is far more dangerous than moto. High speeds, no idea what...

2/22/2025 9:12pm I’m pretty sure those are two different generations of motors/ chassis. It might take some effort/ fabrication to get it to work
mustard530 Added a reply to How to become a Test Rider
1/26/2025 8:16pm Yamaha actually had a job posting for a test rider a couple years ago. If I remember correctly the job requirements specifically mentioned being an A level rider/ pro and being able to do all the obstacles(jumps) on a track. As well as mechanical knowledge, live in California, ect.

mustard530 Added a reply to 2006 CRF450x HELP PLEASE
12/8/2024 10:02pm Maybe a long shot but check the brass 90 the fuel line connects too. Had an 06 450x that would run fine until it needed more fuel at 50% + throttle. Rebuilt the carb multiple times, changed jetting, looked for electrical problems, ect. Finally figured out that the fuel line connector 90 can actually come off and it was super...

11/9/2024 11:36am Did you use oem piston? Everytime I used a aftermarket piston on a Ktm 4 stroke I noticed it burned oil

7/12/2024 10:13pm https://americanmotorcyclist.com/racing/off-road/isde-international-six… This is for 2024 in Spain, but this would be a good start. Scroll down to the link for volunteering. There should be a number and email to get in touch. I believe Micheal Jolly is the contact. Six Days is a race that is hard to comprehend until you’ve been there, hope you can go and help out...

peelout Liked a reply to forum topic do it even feel like the finale 🤔
5/8/2024 8:06pm
i went to the Vegas finale probably 10 years in a row and i can legit remember maybe 3 of the races. something about that town turns pretty much everyone visiting into a full fucking alcohol and drug binge retard. i also went to almost every US Open and a few Monster Cups. Vegas is a blast and the feel at the races are a blast. but if they don't want the race back then fuck-em, UT will take it. but for nostalgia sakes, give me strippers, hookers, a week long hangover and a baffling credit card statement
