I wonder how many millions Kawasaki would pay at this point just to have a reliable 'journeyman' guy that can finish 5th every week without getting hurt. 

When does Justin Cooper get a phone call and a blank check? 

I think his contract is up this year and he’s reportedly looking around for other options.

I think being on that bike puts Justin Cooper in to more of a 8-10 guy standing.

I believe Justin has been year to year for a few years. Anyways I think him and that Yamaha are like peas and carrots; I can't remember him being on any other brand since I first saw him on 250's at Unadilla - what - a decade ago?

Keefer thinks putting shims between the triple clamp bolt and the clamp surface makes a difference in feel and performance. I would absolutely say that in some cases he doesn't know what he is talking about. 

Keefer knows what he’s talking about and could explain it to a 5 years old so…gotta disagree with ya there.Some people are amazing testers and articulate...

Some people are amazing testers and articulate the changes in a way the team can understand which is an invaluable skill.  The guys building the suspension and components likely haven’t won races either.  That doesn’t mean they aren’t the best person for the job.


There’s a reason coaches and trainers at the highest level of every sport aren’t often (see hardly ever) past champions of their respective sport.

Wasn't Keefer's whole theory of torquing bolts inaccurately on your bike to achieve certain flex characteristics completely debunked by several engineer types on this very forum? I am not saying he doesn't know how certain bikes perform well and where they don't, but he is no technician or engineer. Some of the dudes off color comments and innuendo on Pulp are cringe worthy too, he's like 50 and talking about women like a 13-year-old.

Yeah once you hit 50 you shouldn't like women anymore

You're right the only post I get likes on are the ones that I do to make you look like a fool. I'm sorry I have hurt your huge ego.

No one previously. I watched my first supercross last year when they came to town last and now I like the sport and found a forum it's not that deep bro
