Am I the only one who heard Marv say "i didn't steal this one" or something like that? I laughed.

I also laughed at Anderson yelling in the pit stop. PS, I believe guyb could have changed that tire faster. Maybe even Stevie Wonder.

Track sucked. 50 seconds? This arenacross?

I was really hoping for tomac to catch the French weenie. Dig the discussion about guyb's pic of tomacs lid.

My fantasy game is about as good as js7's come back this year. I suck.

On a brighter note, my kiddo who just turned 3 this week got her first taste of a gas motored ride. Now I just need to nut up n buy a dang bike.

Pss, my 3 year old watched the whole race with me tonight. She loves the starts and I think she's starting to have a thing for Tomac. Lol

Crappy part, about 15 minutes in to me chasing her around the property, the PW shut off. I went to kick it thinking she had bumped the kill switch and it was more solid than WP's core. I gave it several heat cycles the past couple of days, fluids we're all good, removed the restrictor washer and only utilized the throttle screw. She's 3, she certainly wasn't wide open as I was keeping up with her on foot. Notified the dealer and so far they're handling this great. Will update that once I hear from them Monday. PS, I don't need negative comments about the training wheels. They're from safely ride and I certainly approve of them. This is allllll for fun and the only thing she's asked for in the last two months is her own real dirt bike. She came unglued opening my hack wrapping job. Was a great feeling. If she develops bad habits, we'll address those later.

Cool pic. My daughter turned 4 months last week. I’m already looking at 50s. She watches the races with me too. I think she just likes the colors. Gotta start em early though

Haha! My 5 year old daughter has had a thing for Tomac since she was like 2 1/2. She calls him her husband. She freaked out and cried when we took her to A1 2016 because Tomac didn’t come up to the nose bleeds to say hi to her during opening ceremonies Laughing

My 2 year olds name is Eli and he thinks his name is Eli Tomac. When we call him by his full name he says “No I Eli Tomac” and gets mad. He watches the races with me every week and he won his first Stryder race a few weeks ago.

I go back and forth about having kids one day. Most of the time it's no, not for me but then I see threads like these and think they're just the coolest.

Wait till you have three teenage daughters, and they and the wife all sync up their cycle. A week of hell every month.

Lol I need your help because I feel more like a guy that finished last in the Baja 1000 and when I finish the race someone accidentally backed over me. Might just be the fact that I have 2 still in diapers and the third has energy for days.

But I will say when my little girl jumps on the little Suzuki 50cc four-wheeler I had 30yrs ago and smiles from ear to ear and says again daddy again, it doesn't matter how wore out I am I love seeing her little smile. My 5yr old boy and I attended the SLC supercross and it was fun to share the same things my dad shared with me at his age.

My notes from the couch..

1. I am sure everyone hated it at the stadium, but the dust made for great tv

2. Just when Ando was thinking "the money is as good as being in the bank" reality kicks in and reminds him that winning a 450 title is speed, smarts, and luck...

3. As a whole Moto is very professional, well, until something uncommon happens ( a pit stop) ... Wow... The factory husky pit stop team looked how I imagine my aunt would look if i asked her to change a wheel in 30 seconds... All sorts of deer in the headlights...

4. Fro was on point last night.... Ralph... Not so much... "Eli is only 47 points behind"... Lol

Jeez, people, stop with the heat cycles. Why would you want to overheat a new motor?

Not a chance I "over heated" that motor.

Thanks everyone else for the positive comments!

Kenny Watson shares the same viewpoint as I on the matter apparently. Lol

Heat cycle is bringing it to proper temp then letting it cool down several times to ensure proper break in.

Has nothing to do with over heating, if that bike locked up it's probably something with the oil injection not working right or a defect.
