Looks great! Our garage set up is smooth the 2 bikes and lock-n-loads. Love’em. Trying to get under the cut out to cinch straps was less than ideal.

I have made some progress since March. Unfortunately, I had a bad get off on April 6th and broke my legs, which had me in a chair for 9 weeks. I'm still sorting out an ankle injury and needing surgery on my wrist so progress has been slow. Adding wood panels to the wall tubing. I glued and screwed to...

They are planning to be at Pax Trax the 27th-29th. That is a great setup for what they are looking for. Just hoping to find something similar to that at or South of Orlando for the 23rd and 24th.

Looking for some help on Florida tracks that will be open next Friday and Saturday for practice. My brother and his family are headed south, from Illinois, for a Christmas ride vacation. He had their plans pretty well set until the weather started showing a cold front on 12/23 and 12/24. Can any of you provide some tracks they could...

Posted this message on my old local board and they thought it could be a good idea to have a global perspective on the situation. Can anybody provide any tips or next steps for me?? I moved from Southern Illinois to Amiens, France for work in April of 2010. I used last year as a transition year to get setteled...

I never was able to get the bike back and I moved back to the U.S.A in January 2013. I saw the bike all the time and it pissed me off the more I saw it, but all the things I tried proved unsuccessful so I moved on. I am happy to report that once back in the U.S. I...

Barcia won't be racing Bercy because he is Factory Honda now. If he was still Geico Honda then he would probably be there, but, since he got the nod, he will sit this one out.

I went to the MXON in France last year and Belgium this year. Last year there were 7 of us that rented a motorhome and made a European Road Trip out of it. This year it was just a French friend of mine and me. Both years were awesome and being in a foreign country helps to bring the Americans...

Not that anyone on here knows me, but I will be there. Last year our group was 7 and thanks to DC, we made it in to RacerX as "The Few Loud and Proud Americans!!" This year I am coming with a Frenchie so I will be looking for some other Americans to join me in supporting the USA! See...

Lets see some pics of how everyone gets to and from the races. I know that there was a thread on here talking about trucks not long ago but I couldn't find anything showing different setups that people use. When I lived in Illinois we had a 1 Ton Ford Diesel Van and a 26' Toy Hauler that was really...

Moved to Northern France, Amiens, from Illinois for work. I am supposed to be here for 3 years and was hoping to buy a bike and get involved with the local moto scene as that seems to be the biggest part missing now. I don't speak much French yet but I am starting lessons either this week or next. Can...

It has now been 3 months plus and I don't have it back. It is hard to keep faith about it but at the same time, why give up?! I was in the U,S, the past week and a half for work, but my Fiance saw the bike and contacted the police to let them know, This time, they actually...

Whether I get it back or not, I wanted to put 110% into it so that I can sleep peacefully once it is all over and know that it either was or was not meant to be. I spoke with my "guy" last night and two nights ago his "team" recovered 8 stolen bikes. One of them was a motocross...

Had a meeting with a detective this morning and I showed him the pictures of the kid on my bike. He instantly knew who it was and had him pulled up on his computer screen in about 20 seconds for me to identify him. The kid is 17 and the police already know him that well. I would say that...

My thoughts on the condition of the bike are that yes it will be worn out but it still appears to be in decent condition. If I get it back I will be freshening up the motor and whatever else is worn out on it before I ride it. I don't have the money at this time, and probably won't...

I appreciate the support that most of you have provided and I have a few updates: 1) I learned some new information about the area: [i]The police will not go to that area because they have orders from the Mayor to not go there. The Mayor has them stay out of the area to prevent the area from turning into...
