Shorty's bike looks like a 97 cr250 and those were uglier than sin.

Dude i cant do coffee! one cup and im so peakin, jittery i leave tire tracks on the ceiling from my chair! lol it also rips my stomach apart. Yet i can drink as many RB's as i want, kinda weird huh? and as i have said before, i drink like 8-10 20oz bottles of water a day, Being SCI you have to worry about bladder/kidney infections, so i am ALWAYS drinking water, or i feel like shit.

btw: im up late cuz of insomnia, have had it all my life, just 4hrs of sleep a night and im good. Get to sleep around 4am'ish and up by 8-9am'ish. Im a total mess bro Laughing Shoulda seen the hell i put my poor parents through when i was a kid! "Go to bed" "NO im not tired!!" that was a battle my whole life man.
I have that exact same problem with sleeping .....there are nights i lay awake the entire night, its torture and hampers my performance at work sometimes

I've got a really bad felling about this whole shorty thing, something tells me it has folded. I hope for shorty's sake I am wrong because has a family to feed and does not need these distractions.
He might be able to get to the races without all the bells and whistles of a semi but the real problem is that if the team folds he likely isn't collecting a paycheck and we know how well the race purses pay. Hopefully there is a good explanation that ends up with us all having a laugh.

Is Shorty's bike a 2012 model? It looks old and a bit different than Barcia's

How can you tell anything from a ackward shot, especially with James sitting on it. The more sag, the more the front will appear to be raked out. With the amount of weight Stewart likes to get up on the front wheel turning, the rear becomes pretty unloaded. Not nearly enough info from those pics to judge.


Too bad for Short, but I really like the look of his bike. That thing doesn't look nearly as fresh as a SX bike (especially @ the start of the series) should (wear on the frame, nicks in the Graphics, etc.) It's obvious he's making a huge effort to keep things together with a lack of support from the team. How long before people jump on Brooks for this?

Purely a guess.... Wondering if the team is going under but got Short a bike for a few weeks while he shops for another ride & isn't left stranded.

I'm rooting for Barcia, his performance at Lommel made me instant fan

And you cant help but feel for Shorty.......all the other guys 'super-pumped' for A1 while he's on a dog shit looking bike with his team's status up in the air and not knowing whats happening. Not really the way you would want to start the new season. Sucks balls. Hopefully he can get some shit sorted.

Oh, and isn't it Izzi....not Izzy?

I agree - too many colours. I like the design of it, though. If they got rid of the blue and red, it would be sweet.

That is such a sweet photo. I'm hoping Trey has a good year.

I hated the look of the new CRF450 when they came out, but it's growing on me. I love how they are to ride.

I believe so.. But, judging by the look of the bike & the toolbox in the back of Short's truck, it's the teams job to maintain it at the races?

Hope so.


All that Short's bike needs to look good, is a red seat cover with yellow pleats.

I'm just glad to see a little company like motoseat getting their stuff on so many bikes. all my seats are motoseats, the guy is real cool to work with.

Ditto!

Didn't care much for him before September, but the way he rode and conducted himself at Lommel totally changed my opinion of him. Im now sitting firmly on the bandwagon. Smile

I think shortys bike looks sick! I also cant stand when people wear beanies when it is 80 degrees out or when they are going out somewhere nice. I guess that makes me old, but those dudes that do just look like douche bags to me. Just thought I would share that with you guys....
I can appreciate the whole beanies in the blazing heat however, it's been fricken cold out here man! It was 32deg on my drive to work this morning! Beanies are a functional thing right now. I'm guessing it was mid 60's yesterday, todays high will be 66.

You know what had me laughing?

Instagram has that "vintage" effect.

Someone posts a picture of Short's bike using instagram, and immediately some lemming says "I dunno, it just looks old, like a craigslist ad"

Izzie ? 9+ month rehab on an acl so I doubt it. I was really rooting for him this year too. Lame.

Lets just hope that it doesn't end up on Craigslist due to the team folding.

I hear ya man.....this is definitely a bummer for sure. I was rooting for Izzi this year more than any other I think. The dude had been working his ass off......and now this. Here is to a good and full recovery.

Some great pics in this thread BTW!

Post a reply to: A1 press day latest...lots of pics!
