About Me
I've been involved in the off road motorcycling sport since 1969 and raced off road and motocross all the way through the 70's. Am still in the industry supplying ignition systems for many different types of machinery.

Rode the ISDT 10 years and ended up with 5 gold medals, one bronze medal, a broken back, a broken foot, an "hour out" and a broken bike.

Began to work for Team Green before it actually existed in 1980 and still work with them today.

I own about 8 motorcycles, both street and off road equipment.

TGTech Started a new thread This week's "5 Minutes With James Stewart"

1/27/2012 2:31am
All of those people who don't know or have a clue about James, need to read the interview with James on RacerX Online. It is a very good interview from my perspective. Dane

TGTech Started a new thread reality on a 450

1/26/2012 11:42pm
At the end of last season, everybody who is a Ryan Villopoto fan, said that he was going to kick everybody's butt when he moved to the 450 class. Obviously, many people don't have a clue that moving from one size of bike to the other, isn't an easy process. In RacerX's 5 Minute with Ryan, he actually said that...

TGTech Started a new thread KTM history

1/26/2012 8:58pm
In the mid 1960's, KTM was only making bicycles and mopeds when John Penton asked KTM to build a small displacement racing motorcycle. The Penton family paid KTM $10,000 to KTM to build the prototype and the 125cc Penton Six Day prototype was completed in the late fall of 1967 and was shipped to Amherst for testing. Once the bike...

TGTech Started a new thread stupid decision

1/26/2012 7:06am
Yesterday I was talking to one of KTM's employees, and he told me that the KTM Off Road team, is moving to the west coast for 2009. How dumb is that? Since most of their events are on the east coast, (National Enduros and GNCC's) why would they move the team to the west coast? I know that they compete...

TGTech Started a new thread LaRocco's Leap

1/26/2012 2:15am
I know this is the biggest jump in the outdoor events, and it's spectacular for the spectators, but is it really a safe thing for the riders? It seems that everyone that screws up while trying to make it, either gets hurt or hurts their machinery and I really wonder if it's a good thing. To me, it seems more...

TGTech Started a new thread Working on the "Lead Law Ban"

1/23/2012 12:43am
Since the CPSIA lead law ban on mini vehicles has taken place, there has been a lot of work from the industry to try to change the law. There is now a new bill in the Senate that hopefully will overturn the ban. Here is a link to an organization that will assist you to help overturn the law: http://www.arra-access.com/arra/home.html...

TGTech Started a new thread Results pages?

1/16/2012 4:17pm
Does anybody know why the Results pages are so messed up since the Nat's started? During the Supercross series, you could go to the Results page and within a few minutes, you could see data from practice sessions, heats, and the Finals. But since the Nat's started, it takes a long time to find the Results on the pages. Dane

TGTech Started a new thread A2 track view

1/12/2012 9:14pm
That track looks lots tighter than A1. But it also looks very technically too, which is a good thing as far as my perspective. Dane
