I believe that in order to reach the absolute top of any field, motorsports in particular, one must be supremely confident, bordering on arrogant. There’s no other way to convince your brain’s self-preservation department that going that fast on your chosen form of track is reasonable. That said, I have always favored the “walk softly and carry a big stick” personality of letting your riding/driving do the talking. I don’t like openly arrogant people, regardless of what they do.

motorick5052, Non Moto has had thousands of threads criticizing politicians and media personalities. But criticism of Hegseth is where the effort to shut down the thread shows up? Why is that?

Yes, I agree on mobius ! Very good brace👍 Stay away from Astrisk, I have a pair of the latest carbon. I found them to be uncomfortable, the fit feels cheap and not very protective. Also, the hyper extension clips refused to stay in place, they popped out on every ride. I tried to glue them in place and they still popped out, I got no help from Astrisk on the issue...at all. Pretty much a terrible design and crappy construction. Oh, and terrible customer service.

For me, Mobius braces were good, while the Pods simply fit great. The ‘ligament’ hinge design makes them feel lighter than the Mobius’, and they aren’t quite as ‘hot’ in warmer SoCal temps. The padding and back strap design of the Pods isn’t as dialed as the Mobius, but they both get the job done. If you’re in a position to try both on before buying, would definitely recommend it. Current setup are Pod K300’s with Mobius knee brace socks: 6’ and 185lb. Will update to Pod K4’s if I ever wear these K300’s out…

I second the Mobius I am your exact size and height, just go off their site and measure and see what size they recommend. I also run a tall seat and that helps a ton with having my long legs so bent, you can run pads if you want I dont think braces prevent as many injuries and they claim but they help and I race off-road and ive gotten bashed between other bikes and against trees and its good to have. Mobius on amazon have some great prices right now as well under $500

Get the Mobius in size M.....i too suffered from legs of a chicken at one point and the Mobius is the best bang for the buck. They fit snug and have a good system to tighten everything. I have custom CTI braces but i prefer the Mobius. You can also get the EVS Travis Pastrana or Axel Hodges pads/ braces. Those are decent if you want some extra knee support. They don't have hard stops to keep your knee from going past the crunchy zone/ broken femur zone.

We've got a lot of time on the TBI 125's. Big believer in the TSP stuff here. We use the TSP ERM Mapping & 12degree Piston & Insert on our 25 125SX and will for '26. The kiddo was able to rip a couple holeshots at the LL regional and qualify for Loretta's in 125C. Granted it's only the C class, but there's a lot of talented rippers at the regional / national level on the gate. The bike proved fast enough to rip great starts against a gate full of petcocks & carbs. He also ripped a bunch of...

In September, I met a kid at the local track had a modified 2024 or 2025 TC125. He was absolutely ripping on the thing. I could tell from the sound it was fuel injected. I asked him about the bike and he told me it was fully worked over (ported, remapped, pipe, etc). He said it wasn't as good as some tuned carbureted bikes he's ridden, but that it was pretty good. I specifically asked him about top end and over-rev power and he said that was where it lacked. I think he told me who did the engine mods...
