Shane Byrne in British Superbike racing was very impressive. Never rode a bike until he was 17. Came from a family with no interest in the sport. Won the very first race he ever entered and ended up being 6x British Superbike champion, a World Superbike ... more »

Because it's a race

It's funny the names you remember. I can remember at the year the Aussie juniors were held at Biloela, Dean Slade won a few classes in my age group. Always wondered what happened to him.

Ashcan was my hero back in the day. Loved his riding tips in minirider.

It's on Kayo now. It's compressed to just race after race after race with no filler. I'm enjoying it. I'll watch them all on replay if they keep this format. I can't stand all that corny US TV stuff they usually include.

KTM juniors just seems like a big wank for ex pros and their kids.

I hope it's a great bike. Love a Suzuki. That said, I ride a 2019 RMZ250 because I think it looks amazing and I am a pretty shithouse rider so every bike is amazing to me.

Probably explains the RNC though lol.

Pilates worked wonders on strengthening my core.

My local shop lol

Chad was racing an RM125 in Australia as a junior. He won the 1997 125cc u15 Aussie title. I remember a good battle between him, Shane Metcalfe and Adam Cini. He just never raced a 125 here professionally.

You're a sad indictment of the American education system.

What does it matter if a few deadshits try to scam the system though? It seems perverse to not properly fund programs and actually give help to those who need it just because someone might get something they aren't supposed to.

I'd suggest that if entering that league was free there won't be any prizes. Makes sense to me.

He used his FMX career as a marketing tool to build several successful brands. I'd wager that fuck all of his money has come from competition success.

Fantastic bikes.

Some of you lot will find absolutely anything to get offended about.

It'd be interesting having that conversation with his employer...
