I want a factory Honda cylinder, so badly. There has to be some HRC jugs floating around. Ok, so apparently at the Glen Helen outdoor opener in 2004 or so (maybe it was still Hangtown back then?) Team Yamaha was debuting their YZ with the aluminum frame. But since they didn't officially come out until the 2005 model year, they...
The FIM world championship doesn't work that way as far as "scraping up money to hit the rounds". The entry fees for all the rounds total something like 110,000 dollars and there is no prize money. So if you aren't on a team, you aren't racing.

It's all about advertisement. It had NEVER been a safety thing. Wait until they start digitally imposing a Monster logo on the face of triples for the aerial view, sort of like the first down line on NFL broadcasts. Hell, wait until Monster just owns all the bikes and teams and it becomes Dirtbike Monster Jam, run in conjunction with...

I don't mean to split hairs and make mountains out of mole hills, but I went to some human intel classes in the not too distant past. they covered speech analysis, and micro expressions, things like that. so i am watching Villopoto's interview at one of the last few rounds (maybe indy?) and he says "mistakes were made". Now, 99.9%...
DC, I've always been a fan of everything that is Coombs, but... no. You can not compare schoolboy 1 at Oak Hill to an event run in conjunction with a major professional series, on the same day, and televised. Unless the factories start sponsoring schoolboy 1 riders, and they add a schoolboy 1 class to about 8 of the 12...

I've been giving Hughes the benefit of the doubt for so long, because I respect what the guy did during his career, championship or not. But he just crossed over into toolbag territory. and Denny Stephenson? Who the fuck is Denny Stephenson? (for the slower types, that's rhetorical, I know who Denny Stephenson is)

Yes, and some people do it in dramatic, Steven Spielberg-fashion by standing up, pulling over, and watching the guy go by.

Funny how the guy stood up, and locked his knees and looked over at Dungey going by. As if he wanted to make absolutely sure everyone saw that he was letting him go by. He knows Dungey would have passed him anyway. He closed about 7-8 seconds in a matter of 8-10 laps. Dungey was faster that night, and Villopoto's...
