The Yamahas looked better than ever. Hope to see that team in the mix.

I liked Chad's gear... Still not in love with the bike.

Hey anyone know if the frame and swingarm are ano or powdercoated? PC would add a bit of weight over all that no?

I would think PC would be too heavy like you said. My guess is anodized. I'm usually a Suzuki guy as I'm a sucker for the yellow and black but this year, the Kawi's look sick. PC, factory Kawi and 22 Motorsports all have great looking set ups IMO.

I can't tell where kennys pants end and where his boots start, way too bussy. Seems ktm riders have to have orange on at all times. Barcias gear was ugly as well as Tomacs. Reeds Shift gear looks no different than last year's plus he's got discount tire all over it. Although James gear was a thing of beauty, plus his golf ball helmet was very cool and original. Some of the Alias gear I think looks pretty cool.

Yeah that's what I thought but it kinda looks matte finish? And I swear I saw a photo somewhere where the frame/swingarm looked worn... weird.

Ya the Suzi's have looked good the last few years... I kinda feel like both RCH and Factory Yosh looked better last year tho. James' bike is super busy this year... RCH maybe needs some blue?

Barcia's PJ's would get big props at the Vegas round where everybody tries to max the bling. Maybe the timing was just off a couple months.

As far as the new Fox stuff, looks to me like one of their designers from the eightes took a quilting class using leftover dayglo material. My retinas still ache.

Ya Kenny's gear is def busy but Fox have been doing this thing for a while, the busy stuff... The addition of fluoro and I think they got the balance right this time round tho....

Chad's setup looks nice, I sometimes wonder about the clothing brand V sponsor logos tho... Shift almost looks like a main sponsor here. Legs and shoulders in some gear lines are probably prime real estate!

Not a fashion guru but James' Suzuki is the nicest looking machine I have seen in quite some time. I thought BamBam's wizard suit was cool. With the shiny stars he was easy to see, would have looked better on the podium.

The chro-mo frames on the KTM's look a lot better than the bridge girders on all the other bikes.

Barcia may have looked a bit too flashy, but all the girls seemed to like it. I think the seven gear as well as the PC team had just the right amount of flash and simplicity. Personally I don't like the ktm clown colors

Troy Lees team stood out nicely imo. Stewarts Suzuki looked wicked too.

Barcia looked like he was plugged In! No way am I buying that but thought it was cool as hell for under the lights on our biggest stage.

Where can I get the same goggles as Chad Reed?

I am thinking there are some people kicking themselves right now.

And I bet his phone was ringing off the hook this morning.

Next week he will have a name on his goggle strap.

Was not at A1, but usually Scott Champion and Josh Grant have the nicest set-ups in the pits?

I thought Kenny's gear would have looked way better on another color bike.

I thought Dungey's looked better with the KTM.

Usually Fluoro doesn't photograph properly either, the colours tend to go flat. It translates slightly better in film but it always looks better in person.
