Gotcha. Is the translucent TPI tank any larger than what the "equivalent" black SX tank would be? Where I'm going with these questions is that KTM has done a good job making bigger tanks that don't stick up real high. As a result, for short local race

Very cool! (I like the log house restaurant too!!! Bet they got some good Pelēkie zirņi ar speķi, huh Kongols?)

Why does the tank need to be converted?

Brent, I beg of you....change your avatar. It's creeping me out. It's hideous.

Watching my buddy's girlfriend drive away in the truck and leave us in the pits at a night event 2+ hours from our house with nothing but our bikes and gear. He explained she was going to visit some relatives that lived nearby. Fast forward a few hours, ... more »

Thorpe's RC500 was probably the best 85'

I miss Sinisalo. (and that Dean Wilson post was gold!)

It's not going to be easy....he is 34 years old. But man, would I love to see him get another title and tie Everts. Better still, two more titles!

OK obviously two wheeled alternatives are at the top of the list...trials, enduro, mountain bikes, etc. Four wheels are cool too. But just to hit you with something completely out of the box......and don't laugh....offshore sailing. You are in GBR which ... more »

Even more exciting is riding the hills at night! I was fortunate enough to have that opportunity a few times at the 24 hour events.

I appreciate the feedback. There's definitely room to improve the good calorie / bad calorie balance.

I've never been over 230 and in the past 20 years I've only once (for a brief time) been below 205. My body seems to like that 215-220 range. I'm 6'2" and not muscular. In early April I decided to start a 21 day jogging regimen. Someone told me that ... more »

Grips and graphics bro. DV's builds seem like most amateur bike builds....1) disassemble 2) ship/take parts to professionals that do the real work 3) re-assemble. That being said, I find DV entertaining and I look forward to his subsequent return to ... more »

Wasn't DF originally supposed to come over to ride for PC and that didn't pan out and he ended up with Star?

Dang that sucks. Check this out...my buddy seized his 93 KX125 at Lemon Grove on the first lap of practice and they gave him a voucher to ride for free next time out. He gave it to me and I never used it... (I don't know who David is)

I'm about 6 hours away from Piru but over the years I've ridden it maybe 10 - 15 times. First time was back in the Lemon Grove days. I think the guy that ran it then was Something-Lynch, I forget the first name, I think it might've been Craig Lynch? ... more »

Didn't a helmet mounted camera have a lot to do with Michael Schumacher's skiing accident injuries? Man, us humans are slow to learn sometimes. Props to TLD for trying something different with the camera.

Here's a mental tip...don't call it anything. Don't call it walking away, don't call it a hiatus, don't call it quitting, retirement or anything of the sort. You were, you are and you always will be a rider, a member of the tribe, etc. How many times ... more »

Yeah I guess that's true. Media coverage is sort of difficult to quantify but it stands to reason that information is more readily available now. We might not of heard stories like that of Blake Savage back in the 80s. And certainly we would not have ... more »
