About Me
Started racing in 1995. Raced on and off ever since. Quit for a year or so after 1998 when one of my good buddy's, Jon Rightmire, was killed while we were practicing. Jon was awesome and an inspiration to all. He was one of the top experts in New York. He raced Loretta's many times with his best finish being a 4th in 125 B behind David Pingree. Anyway, now I just love to ride with my friends and race as much as my time allows. I race the plus 25 class and my goal is to finish top 10 in the 30+B class at Loretta's in the next few years. That's about it!

Sweet. I trust ya! I'm torn though. The new kawasaki 450 looks pretty sweet and there is so much contingency money I'm leaving on the table by riding a honda. Either way, I see a new bike in my future...... Anyone that wants an 07 CRF 450 CHEAP shoot me a message!

The dealers have an online meeting on the 5th. They aren't doing a dealer show like in years past. I would assume they would post the bikes to there website after the meeting but in case they don't i'll call my dealer and post whatever info he has.

When you pull the plates out check the basket. Sometimes you'll get groves worn in the basket from the plates slamming back and forth. If this is the case you can either file the groves off or install a new basket. If it's never been filed I'd go ahead and do that. You can usually get away with it once...

I have a pair of Tech 8's right now that have fallen apart after half a season. I'm gonna go with Gaerne SG-10's for my next boot. Everyone I talk to loves them.

Most dealers make there money off from parts and service. I worked for a Kawasaki dealer about 10 years ago and dealer cost on a KX 250 was only about a grand lower than retail. Most dealers around here sell there bikes for 300-500 above dealer. I think that's fair. The mark-up on parts is where they make there money...

This has been a hot topic on thumpertalk http://www.thumpertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=664572 I've ridden Honda's for a long time now but I'm thinking of switching over to Kawi's for next year. I'm leaving alot of contingency money on the table by riding red, plus the kawasaki's look pretty sweet next year. I'm kinda wondering if honda isn't hurting there sales by waiting so...

Chris Coleman still shows up and rides at Frozen Ocean every now and then on a YZ 250. He makes an appearance once every year or two. He's building houses around the area.

Okay, so I don't pretend to know much about freestyle and my bag of tricks consists of a half-assed whip and a pretty sick one hander. But....couldn't he have finished his run? He just landed a backflip combo with no rear brake. I'm sure he could have modified his run to compensate. If he had half the heart of RC...

835- Haha, yeah he does look a little bit stiff over jumps. I guess he was an AMA national speedway champion a few years ago so that would probably be the reason that his corner speed is so good. I went down to miles mountain today to ride. It was a little muddy!

I'm sure a lot of it is track conditions. I see Jeremy Parsons was leading the first 30+ moto for 6 laps before he had heat stroke. I've raced Parsons at Broome last year. He's fast, but he's not Dubach fast.
