Does anyone know when GoPro will start to lose some their original patents on design? That's typically when the market seems to flood with imitation devices that are on par.

Here's what I don't get.... There are many good comments in this thread regarding investment practices and opinions and some of these comments are very well written with advanced and concise verbage. It is evident that many on this board are very understanding of investing and practice at a medium to high level of complication. Then we get 90% of...

This is correct. It is difficult to tell in the manuals because of the angles and perspective the drawings are illustrated with....reference size is not always easy to determine.

mxtech1 Added a reply to Can a liver swell after getting hit?

6/27/2014 10:00am
Yes. When I played high school football, one of my teammates took a hit and endured a small rupture in his liver. Other than a bit of nagging pain, he did not realize it was a major problem until the swelling began to occur a couple days later. You should take the advice and go get checked out, just to...

I bought that same fit for an 05 RM250 project 3 years ago. the hose from the right radiator to the water pump spigot did not fit. It was too long, so I trimmed 3/4" off the end, but it was too close to the pipe for my liking. I had to wrap the hose in heat shield to keep...
I think I did that in 2007 or so. Pulled a holeshot but left the inside open a little bit and got kamikazied by another guy. Tried to save it by keeping my right foot on...I threw my left leg out and caught my toe and the bike kept going. I didn't feel any groin pain but my big toe...

It's cool to see you riding an RM250!! And at that....it looks mostly stock. Do you feel Endurocross is mostly based on rider skill vs. bike performance? I like that you are getting good results and proving that the average racer doesn't have to have $13,000 wrapped up in a brand new decked out race bike to go have fun...

What are your predictions if he enters? Do you think he can make the fast 40? Per his video, it seems like he plays himself down alot like he may not even qualify, but I think he rides with enough "fast" pros that he's already got a pretty good feel of where he can be to lay down a qualifying...

You can get a 0.981kg spring for the fork buy buying two different springs. Buy one 1.00kg and one 0.96 kg. Since the forks share the forces equally from the axle, you net a 0.98kg fork rating. May sound crazy, but these methods come straight from Paul Thede's RaceTech books, which I recommend you buy if you are getting serious...

mxtech1 Added a reply to Enclosed Trailer Size?????

6/18/2014 12:28pm
Nice trailer but I would not want the windows. Too easy for a crook to look inside and see what's available to steal. You could always tint them out with 0% tint, but that's additional cost. Also, I've never been a fan of people who run stickers/decals/vinyl wraps on trailers because you're just advertising to the public what's inside to...

6/16/2014 1:16pm
I think the real root cause of this issue is serviceability. I don't want to make this a hate on 4 stroke party, but I would say the average guy can't service a 4 stroke motor. If that guy knows he's going to put 50-100 hours a year on a bike and can't afford to pay a shop to do...

mxtech1 Added a reply to New bike every year

6/16/2014 10:06am
The only bike I ever bought new was a 2006 YZ250F. It only took me one new bike to realize the loss of resale value after 2 years is not worth the price I paid. I have had 4 different bikes since 2006, but each of those bikes I have bought were 1-2 years old at the time. On all...

6/13/2014 4:55pm
I've got a buddy at work who is big into hare scrambles and off road racing events. Every time I talk to him he's beating me down to come race with them. From the way he describes it, it sounds like it's a blast and could be fun to ride something new. I've grown up strictly racing MX so I...

So what's the best method for dead engine starts on a two stroke? Start in gear or in neutral? I race B MX, should I register for off road B or C? I am honestly just looking to have fun

mxtech1 Started a new thread RM250 Parts For Sale

5/10/2014 7:08am
I have a few RM250 parts for sale. I bought these parts off ebay a few months ago to build a late-model RM250 from parts. I ended up going a different route and bought a complete bike. I no longer have any use for these parts and just want to get them out of my garage. 1) Brand new set...

4/30/2014 2:20pm
Boredom comes when something is no longer a challenge. I'm not saying RV's schedule and training isn't challenging, but the motives are different now. When RV was was coming up, his motivation was getting to what he is accomplishing now. Now that he's done that, what REALLY is left? I'm starting to feel his large yearly salary and winnings are...
