About Me
Plus 30 racer from Alabama. I love riding and working on mx bikes. I also enjoy surfing the various moto boards on the interweb.

I doubt it's even high attendance. The last couple of years the stadium has had LOTS of empty seats. Surprising to me really. The ticket pricing structure is what is killing it to me. I bought group tickets for our local racing series for probably 12 or 13 years. When I started the tickets were $35 I think. They were...

Just a heads up, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THIS SPACE" won't fit on a shroud in huge letters. Ironically, "NEED HELP" will.

Hey guys, not to detract at all from this forum but..... A few years ago I stopped racing motocross at the ripe old age of 42. I keep telling myself I'm not done. My kids were getting to a point in life I couldn't justify leaving them at home and going without them. Plus, it just wasn't as fun without...

The pipe is touching the left radiator. That's a no go. I don't know why it has a ti gas tank. No fuel pump and it's got to be heavier. I know the stock tank would interfere with the cylinder and spark plug but many people have used a heat gun to reshape the tank. Pipe looks awfully top end...

I think it's smart. Anyone looking to spend a little disposable income to sponsor a rider can find a place to spend it right there. If his shroud says Suzuki, or Fox, or whatever, then potential sponsors may think since he has a respectable two digit number that he's already got help.

Davey, I completely appreciate whay you’re pursuing for our sport by bringing WADA in. “Fairness amongst Athletes” With that said, as we’ve experienced these unbelievably SLOW responses, it seems to me we need to rethink our approach to Anti-Doping and go in a different, more responsive, more relatable & ... Dare I say... More “Accomodating” direction. The FIM/AMA/WADA/CAS “process” has cost you & too many others WAY TOO MUCH TIME & hasn’t been a positive experience for our community.

Most of the bikes in that video are the same few guys. There ARE problems with some of them but I think most are having good luck. Granted, I did just buy a used 2018 250 TPI. I may be a little on the optimistic side. However, what I did find interesting is, if there are so many problems with...

I don't go to the pits anymore. It's just too crowded. I only went to see the bikes and other equipment anyway. Now you can't get close enough to any of the pits to see the bikes anyway. You could go tour through the far end and see all the privateer guys and may give them a hand or some...

People seem to think that. Nailing a start on a 500 two-stroke against a field of 450s isn't as easy as it might seem.

Definitions - fully healed up = bones are mended and muscle damage has repaired. None of that means I'm back to 100% on the bike and have gotten all my testing done and found the settings that work best on this bike. Also doesn't mean I'm in tip top physical condition and ready to go toe-to-toe for 25 minutes. I'm...

He brings up a valid point about Gallagher who has in the past made poor emotional decisions...as an official your job requires you to be unbiased and fair...his history of inconsistent off the cuff emotional decisions and just total lack of professionalism is why a competition committee is needed and decisions need to be made after that committee renders a decision after discussion and a vote. Sometimes the decision doesn’t get made for as few days...supposedly they had gone somewhat in that direction to keep Gallagher from making everyone look stupid...well he’s back. And just in case you were wondering...

Great race to watch. Kenny sounds gutted. He’s got to find a way to keep his confidence up. He’s come so far back twice now. He led almost the whole race. That’s a positive. Watch some video and figure out where he’s losing time and get back on the horse.

There is no “best oil” but only what you like. Personally my dad and I have used this Klotz Super techniplate for as long as I can remember. I will say this is the “best” smelling two stroke oil you can buy!

Awesome. It's hard for us normal folks to understand how someone could go a year without riding, or even lose interest in riding. Almost as hard as it is for us to realize when you've been top level pro speed, there is a whole other level of ability and knowledge us mortals just never will understand. Another poster asked, and...
