Let`s not forget about Alan Grayson beings we`re talking about scumbags and slime balls. That asshole is a real piece of shit, yet Obama praises him.

Why didn`t the Obama`s just stay at the Gulf? Now that everything with the spill is under control, what better way to show support than eating, swimming, and spending their vacation in the region, instead of a day or two swimming in a near by river for a photo-op.

The campaign slogan "Yes we Can" must mean something different than what I thought.

MX400. The majority in the FLVMX I ride with refer to me as the stupid poor bastard.

I do ride a bike similar to that. When I`m not on the mend.

I grew up at the Orlando Sports Stadium and never missed watching the Europeans race that rough ass track when they dominated MX. Decoster was by far the smoothest although Ake Johnnson wasn`t too shabby himself. On the other hand, John Desoto was without a doubt the total opposite but he still hauled ass. Put Decoster, in his prime, on...

I would have to say Dungey`s Boss. Decoster rode the the tracks in FL during the early 70`s Trans Ams like he was on pavement. And that was with half the travel in whooped out sand.

If you guys on this thread get bored go to www.marksmithphotography24.com then click gallery, Sunshine MX, Best of Sunshine and go to page 20. Scroll down the page. I`m #6 on the MX400. There is a sequence of photos of my stupid fat ass trying to hang with the "A" riders. I think I might have been just a little...

I race mine in the FLVMX series. It`s damn sure fast and seems to handle O.K. but you don`t want to come up short on any doubles. Took me 2 months to heal. The forks will definately bend. I have to rotate the tubes about every 3 races 180 degrees. Other than that it`s a blast to ride.

What`s wrong with the FLVMX?

Kinda reminds me of the Freebird himself. You don`t hear that style of music very often anymore. Thanks for posting that Racer92. Not meaning to change subjects but did you buy that RM or is the MX400 safe for now. I have one of those Yamaha`s and most everything you hear about them is true but I still enjoy racing...

When detonation occurs a piston with a lower maximum strength yield (cast) is going to break quicker than one with a higher maximum strength yield (forged). Plain and simple

What you are saying is absolutely correct however, cast pistons have a much higher silicone content than forged and thats what makes them more brittle. A forged piston is more dense, (malleable) has much less silicone, and would last longer if detonation were to occur. So, if it wears longer and won`t crack as quick wouldn`t that make it stronger?

A cast piston is lighter and dimensionally more stable and can operate at closer tolerances making more power however, it is somewhat more brittle than a forged piston. I`ve always used cast in 250 and smaller engines and never had any problems. In big bores I mostly run forged pistons because the added weight of the piston and larger tolerance...

Sorry for the extra 6 posts. Old and Stupid I should have said.

1972 Yamaha DT2 250 Enduro when I turned 16. Took the lights off within a month and ran my first race at the first event ever run at Bithlo. Now its my backup vintage racer. Damn, I`m getting old.
