3/22/2016 8:39pm Probably not. He's your typical old school gearhead / packrat. Its hard for him to get rid of anything. He "might use it someday".

3/22/2016 8:29pm This. I ditched a crf450 for a '16 150sx, and I've loved every minute of it. Most fun bike I've ever had.

3/22/2016 8:20pm Just looked up some engine building prices. I need to convince the old man to dust off the cobwebs in the machine shop and hook some of you knuckleheads up. He's retired and needs something to do hahaha. We use to build some nasty unlimited kart and speedway motors in that shop. Big valve conversions, multi angle seats. welded and...

3/22/2016 4:50pm Just out of pure curiosity, what are these shops charging for cylinder head work?

3/22/2016 4:42pm Thanks for posting. That's awesome to see again. Huffman, Deegan, Ping, The Chicken, and I forgot about Shaun Palmers stint in Moto!

3/22/2016 2:56pm Permatex anti sieze has always worked for me. Or marine grease. I tear my bikes down a lot, so that might be part of it as well.

3/21/2016 1:49pm Those aren't real. Not even close. They are terrible attempts at clones using chinese bicycle engine kits, and reproduction parts. Someone is trying to rip off the uninformed.

3/21/2016 1:27pm You're comparing guys that were here at this sports infancy. Big difference. Sure, there is a chance you can make it big in the moto industry. There is also a chance I could become the president of the united states, and declare a national motocross day. Better have a very revolutionary idea and some fantastic sales gimmick that will pay...

Far more reliable industry, at least around here, and allows me to spend more time riding...
