This was a great/funny read and a nice contrast to all the other nonsense we debate in this forum Smile

good read. I wonder which other rounds he's going to "mechanic" at?

He pretty much showed that a rider doesn't really need a "mechanic" at the race!

I had never listened to his podcast. This was hilarious. Going to listnen to one.

"Ray asks me for his water bottle and I don’t have it. I dropped it somewhere. I suck at this."

LOL
EDIT: phone auto correct

Love the part about getting the fastest time in the B practice lol.... poor A-Ray, that $5 would've been a huge bonus

Great article by Matthes. We've watched Alex Ray since he was racing 50's in our area. His good-natured personality and love for the sport is contagious.

This was gold:

"Well, no track talk time for me this week because I had a rider and I had to give him some tips!

My first tip was to try and get his entry money back because sweet Jesus are those jumps big! "

Hilarious, and entertaining! Matthes seems like a good dude who just loves Moto, and we all benefit from it.

Agree with what Weege said, pretty cool/funny that Ping and Matthes just mosy on down and are pit-boarding for these dudes. MX is still core!

He's a funny bloke. When him & JT or Ping get going it's properly laugh out loud stuff.

Kick the bike, yell obscenities, and then kick a puppy? ...definitely worth a read. Smile
