its the path to ktm

He had an offer, but stayed at Star. I get staying loyal, but business is business, and IMO that orange ride would be difficult to pass on. Time will tell.

I remember that he always had the racecraft before he was on KTM. In the 250s he was so good at reading what other riders were going to do. But he has mentioned that before Aldon he didn't train at 100%. He said he took it too easy and didn't know he should be pushing himself to the limit during the week.

National Champ and Grand National Champ...

My ECE version is 1450gr (medium). Keep in mind they are built to pass ECE 22.06 standard as well, you’ll find a lot of the super light helmets on the market will be getting heavier as the new standard is phased in. Rode with it on Sunday, the ventilation is incredible! Sizing is true to the Flex, but the new helmet is more comfortable on my head. I’m sure it won’t be for everyone, but I’m very impressed with it.

Man it must really chap your ass that you're out the 45 views on your helmet cam video huh. Also, I find no practical difference in mounting my Hero 9 to my fender vs a helmet mount.

X2, plenty tracks around for anyone to start a series.

Dc ain’t showing up till page 3. Keep posting your solutions.

I would bet that’s stars call and not thrashers

To receive a paycheck.

Bh, you keep mentioning the strength of cross country race numbers, and credit that to longer races and shorter days. I would agree those points are a small part of the reason, and at the same time state that more of the people making the transition are doing so because they don't have to worry about ridiculous jumps designed to "separate the men from the boys" and the fact that they don't have to have the latest bells and whistles to compete, but can depend more on experience and proper prep to do well. Where I disagree with a few...

Pretty sure we don't need (5) 50cc classes (4) 65cc classes and (4) 85cc classes for local races (ok for a LL qualifier). Also Vet Open can go away, can maybe see a need for Vet Novice if there is no a & b/c for the age classes. Also what is Vet warrior??

I race a 125 cause I eat shit too much on a 450 and the smell of course lol

Where’s the line drawn from “riding with heart” and “being a liability to yourself and others” IMO, Riding with heart means to never giving up. But Riding over your head without a thought of your surroundings or situation is just plain stupid.

Not advocating for either brand, but...I am pretty sure the Astars does not use Spherical Mips, or EPP, as this new Bell does. So, your 'all the same' comment I believe is possibly innaccurate.

When you look at the global market, it shifts the focus even more away from making a niche MX displacement This is from a Yamaha annual financial reports (since they have pictures): That little teeny-weeny sliver above Japan is the entire North American motorcycle market: street, dirt, whatever. Take a look at that Asia market. They don't even offer YZ450s there.

JA got around him just fine. Webb was just off and Barcia was doing what he’s paid to do.
