RM Mike Added a reply to Dave Thorpe - My Ride, My Life
8/6/2023 4:08pm In 1983-1984 when I was stationed in England in the USAF, there was only 4 channels on the only TV in the barracks. One of the channels had championship snooker, F1, golf and MXGP. I remember David Thorpe. He was a smooth rider. He knew how to handle the 500. Made it look easy.

RM Mike Added a reply to Anyone have a MAICO 490 or KTM 495?
3/9/2021 6:10pm Quote from Gordon Lightfoot: If your plan is to vintage race, make sure you have scouted out the classes and requirements to fit in properly. Late model twin shock classes are often dominated by the Maico 490's, although in Europe, where there is a strong Evo and twin shock series, the creativity in building newer bikes into "older" twin shocks...

1/30/2021 6:33pm Great job. I never knew these had so much more travel than the 1978 model. The Suzukis were the bike to have back then. And you're right about them being tall for the times. Nobody had tank stickers at the races.

Steve, the bright colors and sharpness of your photos is incredible. You should teach a photo class. You are really good it it. And I'd bet your setup is as trick and secret as a factory bike.

5/7/2020 6:07am My first ride on a real bike on a real track. In 1977. Madera Lakes on a friends 1977 RM125B. Scared and thrilled.
RM Mike Added a reply to 2021 last year for new two strokes in CA
2/21/2020 7:47pm 1. The skies are BLACK because of piston engines. 2. The fire-winds coming out of my cats raisin will lead to the undoing of the human race. 3. It is very unfortunate. 4. Oh darn, the sun came up. 5. I don't have a cat.

1/3/2020 5:10pm There is no question you are the dirt bike guru. So much knowledge. I enjoyed the Suzuki episode. But they are all outstanding. Good Job Tony.

RM Mike Added a reply to Glen Helen 2020?
10/18/2019 5:21pm This is no shit. Nothing like watching the pros swapping and roosting and each other WFO up those hills. Great track.
RM Mike Added a reply to Honda Dumb Idea Hall of Fame?
10/11/2019 7:46am In no particular order; 1. Not producing sport ATVs. 2. Not producing the XR75. 3. Not producing the CT70.
RM Mike Added a reply to Anyone ever had a Calcaneous (heel) fracture?
7/19/2019 6:50pm Broke both in 1997. Left one very badly. Bad atrophy of my legs. Had to learn how to walk and step and stand. Still hurts.
RM Mike Added a reply to When 250R Actually Meant Honda 250R
6/15/2019 12:35pm I remember when the 1986 ATC250R was new and they were common at Pismo. Few quads. My brother did work on his engine til it was like a top fuel dragster. He routinely beat Banshees up comp. hill. All foopers now. Funnest times I ever had riding. But I got hurt a few times.
