I certainly hope they weren't hurt bad enough to miss any SX rounds, but If they were, then I would imagine their rides would be in jeopardy. Like I say, I hope not.

Just something you hate to see, especially Grant too. This was the last thing either of these guys needed. Wonder if they each can buy their own bikes and race the outdoors when they get cut by JGR and Honda.

You mentioned that the AMA was going to nix DC for including them... Why would an AMA official have ties to the OEMs? He should make his decisions on the health of the sport, not the favor of the OEMS ( I suppose you mean the Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha).

Okay, so they're Nazis.

This means nothing but trouble for Hanson.

Either way, 2-stroke or 4, its only a matter of time before KTM is a powerful force in MX and SX. I think you should consider their results all over, not just in the Endurocross, WORCS, and off-road racing. Heck, they won the MX1 World GP.

Man, I'll bet it was tough for Reed Carmicheal and Stewart..

So, do we have any latest news on what is up with Pourcel?

I immediately thought of the same thing. A flywheel weight would smooth out the power of the 2-stroke. You can't be good on a bike with only a couple of tries anyway. He needs several weeks to get used to the power and control. Oh well, just get a 450 and forget about it.

Okay, at least we're thinking positive. Here's a dose of reality - The factories are loosing money. In fact, the economy along with the increased cost of maintaining the bikes and slower sales will begin showing its impact very soon.

Boy, if only he was on a four stroke.

Yeah, this dude is fixin to wipe out.

I wouldn't say Honda has momentum. They have Canard who is a little fragile in my opinion (IMO). Granted, he won the championship, but he was in a fog the first couple of rounds. Plus, he's a little too emotional. Josh Grant is fast at times, but in no way is he a person who will win a championship. If...

Why couldn't Yamaha make their bike look that good? The fenders are the best I've seen. The bike looks a little naked, though, I wonder if its pretty light. It will probably never make the US shores, and never be raced here.

250Fs are probably easier to transition, but 2-strokes are obviously cooler, more fun, and will make them a better rider IMO. But unfortunately its true, that if they don't get on 4-strokes, nobody will like them. They won't be in the "noticed" club.

That he is cancelling Bubba's world since he spent all his money.

Wouldn't that be cool if all the factories did a retro year. I think 91 or 92 would be cool.
