Ramptester Added a reply to Bad news on Alta

Being excluded from racing against 450s also didn’t help. Rules that exclude small companies like TM or innovators like Alta from American racing are going to kill the sport even more

Recovery should be much shorter than what Roczen has had to deal with. I had an ulnar nerve transposition at the elbow, no significant activity for 3 weeks, then gradual increase. Back at about 60-70% by 2 months, 90% at about 3-4. Never fully recovered, but would say about 95% now. I am sure that he is much harder on...
I am curious about setting up local E-bike only tracks that are closer to population centers that would normally be off limits to ICE bikes due to noise ordinances etc. Permitting would have to be simpler than most typical MX tracks. If you had enough people, you could easily come up with different membership tiers. Has Alta talked with anyone...

That is a great looking MR 50. My first bike, age 5. Kept it until I was 10 and I don't even have memories of having to learn to use the clutch.

Moto is awesome, love watching top pros on a track air it out. It’s truly an art form that most casual observers do not appreciate. As for me, 47 years old, 6’2” and 230 lbs with two artificial knees and a rotator cuff repair from moto, I’ll keep my riding for pleasure and support the local track with ride days...

Ramptester Started a new thread CRF450X Forks question

3/6/2018 7:22am
Picked up a used 2009 CRF450X with leaky front seals. Upon disassembly I noticed that at least 3 of the mounting lugs for the lower fork gaurds are partially broken, likely as a result of overtightening. There is not enough metal to use a heli-coil or other thread tool. My question is basically what forks would cross reference to these...

46 years old with both knees replaced, still riding moto but avoiding the supercross style jumps. Biggest fear would be a big get-off which could rip the replacement out of the bone. Running or jogging is the kind of activity that will get you a much sooner revision. The metal eventually works itself loose. With moto you at least have...

Is there any word on the injured rider from the 250 LCQ that caused the red flag? I was seated in section 121 and it happened right in front of me. Bike got crossed up and was completely perpendicular when he came up short on the triple. His body literally slammed into the front side of the triple landing. He...

We had dial up internet and “play by play” updates in typed form. The whole race would be about one paragraph and read like a Morse code message, hit refresh every 30 seconds or so. Then if you watched motoweek for 30 minutes the next week you might see a 20 second clip of a pass or someone rolling over...

Thanks, I guess you are referring to practice being 1st session, and qualifying being sessions 2 and 3? So the best time would be about 1:30? Not certain my boys have the attention span to make it 10 hours at the stadium. May plan on showing up at the LCQ races and just walk through the pits after. Probably will...
