Lewis, I’m feeling the absence of your quip humour, passionate insights and sarcastic wit from my weekly motocross media. If your ill health has taught me anything; it’s how much I appreciate your diligent contribution to covering the sport in the form of various podcasts and articles. I hope you get well soon and look forward to seeing you back!

r103 Started a new thread Verification on AMA National T-shirt ?

I found this t-shirt in my house recently. I have no idea how it made its way to Ireland or in my possession. I am wondering is there anybody here who can verify if this is a legit merchandise t shirt sold at Budds creek in 2004?

I think Jett is an excellent rider and the future of the sport. He is amazing to watch. However, I enjoy the creativity behind some of the satirical statements in relation to the over-saturation of his talent/ability/story within the broadcast, media and fan comments etc. Anyways, a great win for Jett Lawrence’s ex-teammate last night.

hey at least the people who spent $2,500, can have Hunter join them to watch the main, or does that cost extra?

Recently I had a freak mechanical problem which caused a large accident and numerous injuries. Just before a jump a rock caught the chain block at the rear sprocket and ripped it off at the welds on swingarm (showed no prior marks of stress) . As it wrapped up around the back wheel I went straight over the handlebars. Now...

I never said it was a bad weld it was good to the best of my knowledge. In this case (although I’ll never know) I have to assume is was due to knock that it received and maybe chain block bolts>welds. It was such a sudden failure I’m sure I would of noticed any stress on my checks after changing...

Hmm maybe not many I’d always check the frame etc. during washing or changing tyres (as a mountain biker I know the terrors of cracked frames). I think my wrong doing was assuming that bad welds could make it past inspection never thought anything of them while looking.

It depends on the original weld. If it's a good, full length weld, there's not much point in adding to that weld. A crap, partial weld, which is quite common, well, of course. It's a murky area, with aluminium frames and swingarms, as to what actual Grande of aluminium is used. Many manufacturers, have their own variations on the metallurgy they use - proprietary, so to speak. But, they mainly are 'blends' specifically developed to Not require artificial ageing / solution heat treatment after weldment. Mainly in 7000 series /H20 ( I may have that H number incorrect), that age...

Well the bracket is clearly the problem, and it’s on a Yamaha. So it’s a Yamaha problem. If it wasn’t I wouldn’t be sitting here with 5 broken bones. I have now looked at other brands and yes I now see they are very similar however I’ve only been able to inspect my Yamaha and a KTM closely.

Sorry that happened man, I would want an answer too. IMO the only thing more dangerous than riding over your head is riding scared/not confident in your equipment. That'll bite you quick. Heal up and get back out there!
