mxbenchracer Added a reply to Twitch and good karma

Very nice thing of Twitch to do, there's allot of hurting and needy people out there that could use a hand, and if his post inspires any of his followers to do likewise, then I say share away. I'm not really a fan of Twitch but he doesn't come across as the type of person that trolls for likes on...

Just saw Hondas REDefined episode 1, like where they are going with that, I know teams have done these in the past though. Would be nice to see one that follows multiple teams throughout the week though.

Every one talks about how poorly the racers get paid, so I would say success would be a sport where the top 20 in each class are making great purse money. You know how that happens? Butts in the seats and eyes on the screen. When SX was on Speed, 99% of the commercials on the were about other shows...

To be fair not every UFC event is a smashing success, they have duds as well, what they do very well though is promoting the stars that they have built and building the shows around those guys. I agree that MX cant just copy and paste the UFCs promotion and over night have huge success. But the promos for SX...

100% Correct on this one, I personally know five guys that have gone out and joined gyms and spent a lot of time and money on training MMA after getting into watching it on TV, four those guys have taken a good beating after signing up for amateur fights, and yet they are still invested in it, one has done...

Being that MMA is my second favorite sport next to MX, I've thought a lot about this topic. Its been said, and I agree, it all comes down to story lines, two of motocross' biggest stars ever, Reed and Stewart, are so famous because they have a narrative surrounding them. I think in MX riders, teams, and the promoters need...
Thanks for all the good vibes everyone. The dealership has been in business in the same location sense 1979, I remember going in there as a kid and dreaming of one day being able to buy a bike from there, I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would end up owning the place. I started working here in...

2006, I was racing the beginner class in the Alberta provincial series, I had been close to the top 5 but just wasn't able to crack into it. Went to a regional race put on by another club in Grande Prairie AB, first moto I went down off the start got up dead last and rode my butt off to...

Man I wish I lived in the States, here in Alberta people are asking 2500 and up for 1998 CR250's with missing plastic, its madness. To the OP put that thing on Kijij in Canada and you'll get 6000 no problem lol although you may get 100 offers to trade for a sled

mxbenchracer Started a new thread ATAC Cylinder

8/7/2014 7:23am
A customer of mine at our local shop brought in a cylinder from and old CR80 that he is fixing up, it doesn't look like a stock Honda cylinder and it has ATAC stamped on the side of it, I measured it and its definitely a big bore. Anybody know who makes these and how to get a piston for...

The frame says the bike is a 1991, when I looked up the cylinder on the parts fich it looked nothing like the one in my hand, so I though it must be aftermarket, from what I've gathered here its more likely someone dropped an older engine into a newer frame. And no this is the first I've ever heard...

8/5/2014 7:47am
I have found the best way to offset the cost to go riding is to go with a bunch of buddies, even 2 guys splitting the gas is a huge help. I know that doesn't help with the gate fees, around here all the tracks are pretty much empty unless theres a race, but I live about and hour and...

7/20/2014 6:06pm
Matthes must have sabotaged those grips back when he was in the MCR pits a few weeks ago, it must be payback for Tony outing the AMA drug ring. lol
Its true, it would ruin everything for them, it would look Mike look bad, it would make the whole team look like cheaters and it would be one more 20 pager on vital. Jeff man can't say I'm a fan of you guys, but race for yourself, Mikes got to win this thing by himself or he won't really win...

mxbenchracer Started a new thread What makes you a fan?

7/11/2014 8:45pm
Really interested to know what makes you a fan of whoever your a fan of. Is it because you like cheering for a winner? Because of how they conduct themselves off the track? They ride your favorite brand of bike? What grabs your interest in a guy? My top 3 Chad Reed- I remember when I was first getting interested...

Its funny, I started this thread in part because I was interested in hearing all the crazy fans boys reasons for their obsessions.....Not a single fan boy chimed in, either they have all been clicked or they are to embarrassed to say anything.

I hear what your saying, my point wasn't that its impossible to be a good person without being a Christian, what I was saying was that if all Christians were as good of people as trey is then perhaps the world would view more Christians in a better light, and there might be more fans of the whole "God thing"
