Riders don't usually have an issue staying on-time in the transport sections. The race comes down to the special tests. You are ranked by the number of seconds behind the class leader. A good rider will perform most of his maintenance on his/her bike during the day. You usually get to a check 3-10 minutes early. This just leaves tires...

I loved riding the China hat race back in the day. There was so much good riding there.

My Bultaco Chispa, Ducati Paso, Husaberg FE350 and a Cagiva Elephant.

I had the opportunity to talk with him on a few occasions and always enjoyed his insight. One of the greats in the industry.

Watched guys race them at the Badrock ISDE qualifier in Oregon when I was a kid.

You nailed it Mike will never win a championship in the US. Geneva apparently is from the school that all press is good press so Tony will stay and be the mouth piece for the team.

Why would you replace the 4 time defending Supercross champion?

I no longer will go poor Mike. He is an adult and a professional athlete. If he ever separates himself from that circus of a family he may earn back some fans. It's unfortunate that he has thrown away all his natural ability and hard work staying with his family.

Alcohol sponsorship is tricky, because your teem needs to be 21 and over. With the age of some of the riders it's not doable.

1. Squeeze the bike with your legs. Let them do most of the work. 2. A downhill is just a straightaway at an angle. 3. Momentum is your friend. 4. Learn to actually use your front brake. 5. Races are won in the corners.

Seattle Times had a good article on what it takes to build a track. http://seattletimes.com/html/othersports/2023357829_supercross12xml.html

Looks like A2 again, and the new round at Levis field for me.

I will be there with my 4 kids (ok only 3 are mine the other just thinks she is part of the family), 1 work buddy, 1 customer/buddy, and my buddy I go to Anaheim with every year.

If you know what THOR stands for. If you wore JT V 2000 shoulder pads. If you had a double leading shoe front brake.

My MR50 painted up to look like a Bultaco. My Bultaco Chispa. Yeah it's a Bultaco theme.

I have never been a big fan of av gas. Av gas is designed to run in a motor that runs at lower rpm's and high altitude. I know people who swear by it since its used in planes you can buy it anywhere in the country and get consistent quality.

This will be my 2nd trip to Oakland SX. Went there 2 years ago and had no issues. I go to the Bay area for work about 15 times a year. I stay in Union City and have never had any issues. Last time I parked in the lot which was like 25 bucks. Go have fun and be smart...

Titan1 your correct about the club team. At some of the ISDE's there are club guys that beat most of the Trophy guys. They get left off their Trophy teams because of politics. I think a club rider won the event overall one year in the mid 80's.

When Husqvarna was purchased by Cagiva the factory workers were told they would not be moving to Italy. When Cagiva did move them a lot of the tooling was destroyed and thrown in the lake by disgruntled factory workers. The new 4-stroke motor Husky was working on disappeared and ended up as the new Husaberg motor. I understand the auto...
