Lucas jumping into SX is a tall order. just hope both survive long enough to make it to mx

He's going for the reverse perfect season.

Has Marchbanks ever been touted as a future 450 champ and the guy who's going to bring down THE Jett Lawrence? Deegz has gotten worked by the weakest version of Jett we've ever seen. Just wait until Jett gets back close to full strength. That's going to negate any improvements Deegz makes his 2nd year. Jett might beat him even worse next year.

It makes an Ass out of U and Mptions?

Still one hell of a season from him! I'm sure he'll be a podium threat every weekend next year 🤘🤘🤘

Hand/wrist dislocation. They got it back in; he's already back in California, starting the rehab process and seeing how long he'll be out.

could just be a lego collaboration...

They're using 7075-T6 on these, which is great for strength, but not so hot for stress corrosion cracking or mitigating crack propagation. Those aren't huge concerns, so long as: A. They don't machine in large stress risers, like the sharp internal corners exactly where this broke, and B. They don't create feather thin features for a crack to easily initiate, like they did, also where the part broke, and C. They don't laser etch their logo to act as yet another stress riser, opposite the earlier mentioned stress risers, again, right where this broke, and D. The material actually is...

100%, there’s all sorts of counterfeit material out there and any reputable manufacturer is going to perform a hardness test at minimum to vet incoming material. The main point I was trying to make is that the “aerospace grade” designation you see in marketing material all over the place means absolutely nothing, the material standard is the same across industries. Whether the material actually meets that standard is a whole other story. . .

Just as a PSA, I’ve seen plenty of adds and promotions from that company and there are all sorts of red flags flying all over the place, this is far from a “made in China” issue. Any company that advertises “aircraft or aerospace grade aluminum” should be given extra scrutiny. That term means nothing, 6061-T6 aluminum used in your car is the same 6061-T6 aluminum used in a fighter jet, there are no differences in the alloying elements because it’s a standard mix across all industries. Any company that seems to make everything under the sun should also be looked...

That 2009 CRF450 was the biggest POS since the 1981 CR450 (and honda bit me on that turd, too), BUT every now and then a new bike hits it out of the park. I think with the 2008 being the handling target (stability and turning) and Honda going away from that BS "razor sharp handling" mantra they have def made an improvement here.

For what it is worth. I rode the 27 at Millville for the media day (can see my reactions in "Kincade Pavich's" Youtube video shared in the last page of this forum) and as a very very average skill leveled motocross racer... I felt that the changes made a significant difference. I have ridden a Honda race bike of every generation from 2011 till now and this 2027 had a few key improvements that made a very very noticible difference to me. First, the engineers managed to make the power much more linear which IMO took out a bunch of...

I was on Prado’s side with this until I saw the video Matt Burkeen posted where Prado waited for Harrison after the finish line. All good to express your frustration, but to dump the clutch and roost him afterwards was a chicken sh1t move. Jorge didnt lose that large gap he had on Jett because of Harrison

Even though I think scido was just trolling with his comment…..your number should be American riders won 12 of 17 SX events. Kenny is a U.S. citizen!! People can scoff at this….and Germans cring….but I would rather have Kenny, who has said how he loves America, on the U.S. MXDN team then deegan, who has never put his money where his mouth is on representing this country. btw….I love Europe and the many years I lived there.

Agree. If the race is for national pride, then it could be done on a non-profit basis, at all levels. Direct cost reimbursement, after donations are made. And that would include ticket pricing. Since it’s impossible to predict actual costs in advance, overcharges (generally called profit) could be carried over from year to year as a buffer to ensure it doesn’t go broke if there’s a bad year. Instead, we have a standard, for profit, business model for everyone except the performers. I have no problem at all with making a profit, unless you’re telling the workers to work for...

There's nothing wrong with wanting to be paid for your time and effort, particularly with the risk involved.
