Was able to really check out the new Stark at my dealership today. It's pretty trick looking in person.

Take it to your friends backyard track. The neighbors will only complain about dust and not noise

Weird it don't have a brake pedal.  I assume it's the clutch side.  Almost thinking it would have been better to put the front brake on the shifter, then you never had to use fingers for anything.

Using fingers is way easier then feet. Especially fine control. You can get a standard rear brake pedal if you want.

My MTB has rear brake on the right lever and front brake on the left…. Super comfy. 👍

Good for riding wheelies. Tap the rear brake lever if you tip back too much.

More finesse with fingers you know what I’m saying

Dust is rarely a problem, east of you.  Decibels are.

In the instance of my former track, it's surrounded by corn/soybean fields. A dirt bike track isn't even a thought of dust being produced compared to anything else.

First thing I do is swap the front brake to the right side before I go OTB.

Heard of this oxygen and hydrogen blend they have been adding to tracks as an amendment that completely eliminates dust and increases traction.

Yes, I heard about that! I think they call it dihydrogenmonoxid. Great stuff! You can even wash your bike with it.

Still looks freakishly unnatural to me. Like something you could order from Brookstone during a long airline flight.

So did it actually run, or was this just the mockup that has been traveling around the country to make people think they might actually show up at some point?

I didn't run and it's funny that you say that because it's what I've been saying for quite a while now. With delay after delay I'm not holding my breath waiting for it. What I am waiting and keeping my fingers crossed for is a 24 GasGas MC300 2 stroke.

This was the look on my face when I was told that my dealer is getting their units quite a bit earlier than I'm getting mine and I ordered mine on the 2nd day of the ordering process way back when.

That’s just how they roll around here..

I have a certain Vitard downvoting every single post I make, no matter how mundane it is. I know who it is and it’s funny living rent free in his head. But I kind of pity him.

That would be a smack in the face for the guys trusting the company and putting down the deposit early. When will you get your bike and when will they get their units?
