was there any HP power gains from Stewart's '02-'03-'04 KX125s?
Do you remember HP outputs from his KX125s?
Do you still ride and how is your brother Joel doing?
The power is still really good. We do learn all the time so I would hope the bikes look better each year. The bikes are more powerful now for sure.
Speaking of the sponsorship deal with Muscle Milk, did their choices have anything at all to do with Justin Brayton? Seems like a weird coincidence that they were a major sponsor of three different teams (MDK, JGR, then Honda) he was a part of and switched twice when he switched.
This is awesome!
The Yamaha has a reputation for having steering issues due to the frame geometry and mass centralization, how problematic has this been for you guys?
has it had a negative affect on signing or keeping riders?
thanks..

What do you work on with Barcia's riding style the most? It seems like he has more close calls than most riders but is also better at saving those close calls. Do you guys push him to keep in more control like Dungey or do you let him do his own thing when it comes to aggression. I also noticed that he seems to be racing forward more this season rather than looking to run a rider wide to stay in front of them. Is that a coaching thing, or just a maturing/learning thing he's done on his own?
As for Weston, it's awesome of JGR to pick him up. I know there were a lot of guys on here crying asking why WP couldn't get a factory ride after his 2013(??) performance. I remember in 2012(??), the race where he kicked his bike over, that LCQ in Daytona was when we all realized the heart and drive he had. He hucked the finish line at Daytona and overshot it by a good 30' just to win. How long did you guys express interest in signing him before the deal was done? Does it happen quickly in that case or do you have to negotiate back and forth for several months?
I was wondering would a college degree, specifically a technical degree like Mech. Eng. hold any weight in the motocross industry? Would it be a valuable asset to a suspension guy or motor guy, or is it mostly irrelevant?
So glad to see you succeed in the sport/industry we love so much.
You've always been a class act, even since we were kids. Good luck in the future and I'm excited to see what's next from you guys!
What do you like to do for fun not moto or family related , like fishing, hunting or something?
