BRAAAAAPPPPP! Hey there folks. I'm another new guy to the forum here. Go ahead and fire away! I can take it. I have loved and been invilved in motorcycles since 1969 when I was 6 years old. I started racing in '71 and have been doing so ever since. Now I have a 10 year old that has been racing...

[quote:3foo698c]I would like to smoke the pole of many in this thread.[/quote:3foo698c] This is what you really meant to say, isn't it? Until you have actually raced motocross yourself, you will never understand what a racers "comfort zone" is. So, shut the fuck up and keep your opinions of racers to yourself.
BTW...my post count is not high either but I don't get fucked with because when I came on this board, I actually contributed something with some thought involved. You come on here with your head up your ass, whining because YOUR beloved post count got creamed at some point. Even if you arn't a nOOb, you are still a STUPID...
[quote:l3d07lgp]Their best isn;t good enough, they need to get better or get another job. Then they can be armchair generals like you or I (yeah, you're one too.)[/quote:l3d07lgp] Or, maybe we ask the "leader" to simply slow down some just to make you happy . What I am is a FAN of these guys out there giving it all they...
[quote:33ba17os]I'm sorry, but this sport is just not very good these days. Do I need to type more? I can, but I don't see the point of it, typing more would be as useless as calling myself a Pro Racer while finishing the race 30-60 seconds behind the leader and thinking that's acceptable.

[quote="WORCSRACER":w7i17uno] Quick point, don't lump Eli Tomac into the category of socially retarded homeschooled mini riders. The Tomac's aren't raising the kid that way.[/quote:w7i17uno] [quote:w7i17uno]There may be exceptions, but not many.[/quote:w7i17uno]
[quote="evsracer912":27lxypl7]I thought the point of racing was to go as fast as possible?[/quote:27lxypl7] Of course it is, but at what expense? At some point in their lives, these kids will be all used up in racing and will need to "fall back" on their education and socialization skills that most "normal" kids learn in school. My point is that I...
AC,Tomac, Barcia, etc. are all products of the "Cobra Generation" and true signs of the evolution of the sport. They grow up on race tracks as they travel the country chasing good riding weather, viable competition and National Championship Titles. They are mostly home schooled and have practically been on a bike since they could walk. This lifestyle virtually eleminates...

[quote:24p7swrp]Hard to tell from the picture, but Curnutts (Curclunks we called 'em) had red springs.[/quote:24p7swrp] Maybe they were something else, but I do remember my dad having the spings changed. See how big I am in the picture! My mom worked at "Spoke-n-Wheels", a Kawasaki dealership in Texarkana. At that time, they were really into racing and may have had...

It was a Bassani pipe and I worked for my parents all summer to pay them back for it. I wanted it really bad! When I got it, I thought it was really great. I went on and on about how powerful the bike was with it and I remember that the first race with it I got the holeshot...

The bike sold today and I think it has gone to a very good home. It will probably be recreated and come back to life as a 400 or 450. Now, I need to figure out what vintage bike to get next. It will have to be a big bore as I have certainly put on some pounds since I...

Well, I went ahead and got my son the new 85 anyway. I knew that I would. I have had NO calls on my Maico. I guess it's not "The Bike" to have for its class in vintage racing. Or, maybe it's just the time of year and all. Thanks for all of the nice comments about the bike. It...

Or, you can find us at a track somewhere almost any weekend. We'll soon be sporting a new 85 for the boy whether this thing sells or not.

My answer is the GOAT!!! However, don't forget about [u:19lxqd14]Steve Wise[/u:19lxqd14] in this discussion. Certainly one of the most talented riders in several discliplines.
