OTG42 Added a reply to Most talented rider ever?

Jeff Ward, dude still hauls the mail! Seriously, if Ward rode for factory Honda, he'd have more wins and more championships. Ward's pushing 60 and is still going to the start line to compete against the best young talent. Ward's talent stands the test of time, he's the most talented in my opinion.
Baggett didn't have to make an Anderson move to pass Anderson. Anderson seems like a nice guy when his helmet is off. When he puts the helmet on something happens. He see's things differently and makes decisions you wouldn't expect from the nice guy he is without a helmet. He's been doing it long enough, his competitors should know this...

Eli would have plowed him for the win, Savatgy knew that. It would have been better for the fans to see Savatgy get taken out, then we'd have different Tomac/Savatgy threads to read.

I thought he might have gone hunting. Being that he has sponsors and a fan base he didn't want to talk about it. Race weekend is racing business, off weekend is my business.
I think it's time to start putting restrictions on the bikes, start with tires. Shorter knobs and closer spacing so the tracks don't get chewed up so fast. Outlaw the holeshot device like the above poster said. Not sure what to do about horsepower and torque, I don't know what those factory bikes put out. But, start with tires.

I believe a solid wheel would be to stiff, spokes are forgiving. Think Dakar bikes, none of them use mag wheels. Spokes are strong because of the offset from center of the rim out to the edge of the hub. Forms a triangle, that is the strongest shape.

Marvin hit Tomac perpendicular, that isn't a good racing move or pass. It isn't rubbing is racing, the only rub was Tomac's ego. Tomac being pissed is justified in my opinion, Marvin not owning his actions would piss me off more than what happened on the track. Looking forward to Salt Lake!

Art Eckman was an awesome announcer in a great era of motorcycle racing. If only sx/mx had a better TV package back then. The bikes now handle to good in my opinion. It's not a 4 stroke thing, suspension, frame setup/geometry, tires, clutches, ergonomics, everything is awesome, makes things boring. Race announcing needs to step up like the bikes did...

I use a Kurt Kinetic trainer, specifically the Rock n Roll trainer. The RnR trainer isn't necessary, but it is nice to be able to stand up and rock your bike side to side to give your butt a break from the seat. You can add smart control to it later if you decide you want to get more serious...
