Speeddemon73 Added a reply to Is it possible Jett lets Hunter win this weekend?

5 hours ago

Not trying to stir the pot here, but after watching the latest "This is Lawrence" vlog, during the Jett interview portion Hunter seemed a little agitated and the brothers weren't their normal light hearted selves. Jett kept smacking Hunter's back and just seemed weird. Things felt off...

First off, its great to know there are people in the moto community especially men that are honest about anxiety. As a man, it can make you feel weak and less of a man because all your life you're programmed to be the strong one or to "suck it up." With that being said I have been on Zoloft for...

Nick was a local fast kid whose speed didn't translate to the big stage. Parents sent him down to MTF to live and train. Went to Loretta's, didn't do well. Had some injuries. Raced a couple nationals with the all white gear and all white bike with no sponsors #999. Again, didn't do well. He became an instructor at MTF...

More people would be into them if TM had a decent dealer network and US support. Most of the time to order a TM you go through some random dude located in the middle of nowhere in your state that's listed as a "dealer" on TM USA website.

Growing up in the early 2000's I used to buy the MXM Motocross Magazine that was exclusively a freestyle motocross magazine. Saw an interesting piece in their where Metzger put bmx pegs on his CR250 and had rails and grind boxes set up, but the whole pegs thing never took off. I would watch X-games, Gravity Games, Dew Tour, Winter...

Speeddemon73 Added a reply to Percent pie, why are Euros faster in moto

7/22/2026 4:10am

I would say its because the overseas riders don't spend their adolescent moto careers living at a training facility racing the same people over and over only to come out to race once or twice a year for a big amateur event. For some reason Americans have this mentality that in order to get to the highest levels in this...

Sounds like the tire chunking has more to do with it being an old tire and the rubber drying out/rotting. Tires do have a shelf life.

The D756 combo just worked everywhere here in Michigan. Since Dunlop discontinued the D756, I have not found any of their newer front tires to have the same level of grip or side grip especially on off-camber corners. Of course this is my experience, but those tires were my absolute favorite.

Can Dunlop bring back the D756 already....please?!?!

Speeddemon73 Started a new thread Oakley Airbrake Helmet Fitment

3/27/2026 6:20am

Hey All, Currently, I wear a Troy Lee SE5 with Oakley Airbrakes and am having the issue of it feels like the eye port of the helmet is always pushing my goggles down and consequently making my goggles pinch my nose. I've tried to remedy this by using nasal strips or the nasal expanders with magnets, but still no luck...

Speeddemon73 Added a reply to How much of the new OEMs do you see at your track?

2/12/2026 4:24am

In my area of Michigan there is maybe (2) people I see on Stark's, mainly Nick Tomasunas doin' it for the gram. Haven't seen any Beta's or Ducati's at the moto track yet. Plenty of Triumph's. Actually now among the 250f crowd it seems that Triumph and KTM are split evenly. In the offroad side of things its almost all...

Speeddemon73 Added a reply to Aftermarket triple clamps worth the $?

1/23/2026 5:22am

Personally, I feel that they were worth the money. My preferred bar position is smack dab in line with the fork tubes. The stock clamps on my YZ450 either allowed forward or behind this position which never felt comfortable. The X-trigs allow for my preferred position plus the benefits of being a more robust design that won't twist the bars...
