For the Honda, you hearing Cleveland, Windsor or Boss?

Kinda goes with a pre-order. Before the Interwebs, I was involved in a fundraiser. The mailed-out flyer specified it was a pre-order. "And the reason I said that was" we wanted to make sure everyone one got the right-sized shirt without having a bunch of leftovers gouging the not-for-profit. One guy bitched about not receiving his shirt after around 10...

Re : it’ s usually pilot error. Three years ago (at age 69), some moran idiot I was lapping at a NYOA race impaled me with his handlebar and blew up my gut. Post-op, I was eventually Med-Evac’d from a trauma center in Pensylvania back home to Montreal in a Pilatus turbo-prop. Cool plane, or so I thought. Once laying...

Mav somehow left out these two guys Ross "Rollerball" Pederson (voted hardest guy to pass, meaning his was aggressive and often up front, by top national sx/mx pros in a MXA survey back in the Jeff Ward days. Used to spend his summers racing the Laurentide series in Quebec. Got lapped by him pretty regularly...) Jean-Sebastien "JSR" Roy. Top "second...

I seriously doubt anything resembling the old KXs Over 5 years ago, a no-bullshit friend who was working events on staff for the MXGP circus told me this "true story". A guy from Kawasaki Japan confided to him during an off-the-record party atmosphere that Kawasaki Japan had at one point considered bringing back the 125-250 KX smokers, more specifically the...

Knew a talented Freestyle rider. Between shows at an event in a parking lot, he was saluting the crowd by doing a slow wheelie, helmetless. He knew what he was doing riding-wise, and was standing it up at a walking pace. He hit a small concrete parking curb he obviously had not seen. Probably tried to save it but landed...

As a "speaker with thy wallet" my last three bikes, I m curious : did Steinke make the A1 450 night show on a smoker?

Though I’ve really thought hard about “What is the secret recipe” for both hockey and dirt bike racing, back in my own days then again for my two sons (one being really good in each sport), I don’t have a solid answer. But I can comment with authority and total certainty on the above-quoted book, specifically to: “Purposeful practice is...

Long post Mav, I know. Hey, at 68, when your memory’s rollin’, ya gotta go for it... My first race bike was a used 1974 Elsinore 250 that had been cut/welded for longer-travel suspension. It broke in two. My first motovan was a very used 1967 Chevy Van. Literally towed it home on Friday, swapped the blown inline 6 for...
