" it basically finds all the evidence available and summarizes it well." Well, yes, except for the obvious part that it got completely wrong. 🤣 How can we trust the rest of the result with such a blatant mistake included? AI can be very useful as a tool, so long as the results are verified by someone who knows what they're doing. The problem is that it's being used more and more without verification. Look at all the posts here that people blindly copy and paste the Google AI result from a search. Our society is quickly losing the ability...

The shock can be made to work good, although I would look for a 96 shock with HS compression adjustment..the stock forks were grim, can you still ride it..sure but if you really want to elevate the bikes performance, better/ more modern forks and front brake setups are huge on this bike, these are 2 areas where vast improvements have been made….I have 08 CRf450 forks on a 96 Cr250, this also opens up the front brake options, I have oversized rotor kit from MotoStuff… just as good as my KtM”s…. Without the newer forks, you don’t have much front...

I saw him outside of the track markers at least 4 separate times today. And twice last week.

Figured this would turn into a euro vs America argument. As an American I was pumped to have him come over. When it comes to MXDN I’m hardcore USA. When it’s our SX and MX I personally want to just see bad dudes do cool things and good racing. Jorge was another bad dude to add to the mix and I thought it was great he chose to be here. I have given him the benefit of the doubt with all the new stuff he’d have to figure out but once he started bashing the bike and visibly giving up...

What's that mean for all the guys who haven't won a 450 SX main or a 450 outdoor moto this season? Retirement as well?

I happened to catch the tweet a couple minutes after he posted it, I was dying laughing. I don't even vcare the subject matter, the fact Eli comes up once a year to hurl some shit is incredible to me. I'm here for it all. Maybe I'm optimistic because I respect Tomac so much, but I feel he's going to level up next year on the new bike. I believe KTM can really custom tailor that bike to him. It's going to have all the power he wants, maybe a little more options for engine and chassis than his Yamaha...

Which again is a case for not ripping every single track so deep, satursting with water, and creating such deep ruts, literally taking away the natural features of the each track. Prep is a must, no doubt. But only to a point. Gone are the days of letting courses, Unadilla in particular, lie fallow letting the bikes develop the track. Yesterday's track was ridiculous.

Earlier in the moto he dropped it on the right-side and the left grip/throttle/frt brake lever went into the ground… Did dirt get in the lever-clevis and interfere with the frt brake…or something-else got in the braking system somewhere and caused the front brake to drag a bit…eventually causing “lock-up”? When he jumped: the front was NOT TURNING (not good/causes the bike to have directional instability in the air). When he got up AFTER THAT GNARLY CRASH…the front wheel was locked up…he falls again as the bike spirals on a locked front wheel…and then we saw him pick it up...

Any track that has straight line ruts is prepped wrong. If you want to know how to prep a track look at Millville this year. Zero ruts.

James had to make that call in real time, live on the air. Maybe this time he missed it, but he's almost always correct and he points out things I didn't see most of the time. Unlike someone else who often plays analyst.

How tough is chase? He dropped from 30 feet in the air and landed directly on his right ankle while bashing his chin off the handlebar… and he was already getting back up before he even was done crashing. It blows my mind the crashes this guy just gets up from. Hes built like a brick shit house. They would have been stretchering me off the track with a compound fracture in my leg if that was me. Idk how he does it. There definitely is something to having more muscle mass and weight in the 450 class, it really...

By my calculations, this is the only possible answer.

I don’t care what anyone says. The Yamaha 450 hasn’t been the same since 22’. Everyone on the new chassis has been worse, on both sides of the pond. Ferrandis didn’t like the new bike, after winning on it in 21’.

Heard it was about tree fiddy a year
