It’s interesting that they’re marketing an mx bike yet their website cryptically doesn’t even show that they offer an mx bike to the public. Is this some sort of special venture or a marketing fail?

You can’t complain about the Aussie without also taking a nod to Carmichael. Carmichael is so bad. Haha. Ideally they would just play early 2000’s punk rock music over the entire broadcast.

I think it's unlikely that you see electric bikes completely overtake the market, but who knows what will happen 100 years from now. The arguments for waning life in electric batteries aren't completely unjustified, but 500 cycles in a year is 208 hours of ride time at a hard pace. If you're...

I was almost amazed to hop onto the best Ohio Moto site and see 'trump daddy' going strong for four years. Fairly commical to see the far right (trump supporters, let's be honest, he's a bit of a wack job) arguing with the far left (common Dems, do we have any other political agenda these days?)

Used to work at a company that specialized in base formulation additives packages (detergents, dispersants, friction modifiers, and viscosity modifiers). The ratio is likely similar to modern engine oils for cars, what used to be 3,000 miles is now 10,000. 333% increase in longevity while...

Insurance policy

Hit up log road for sand prep. It’s much closer than Baja for most Ohioans.

Could be worse, the Canadian sales tax in most provinces is 15%. If you’re buying enough that sales tax across state borders is saving you thousands than should probably be claiming it as a use. Not sure the odds of getting audited but I would hate to get that nice little surprise in the mail...

I parted ways with a ‘13 KTM 450SXF, 22hrs, earlier this year for $4100. I wish I’d priced it higher when it only lasted 4 days but I’d had it priced at $4600 months earlier without a single bite. It is absolutely a buyers market and very much not a sellers.

Lots of great points. Would be curious what the financial benefits of the des nations win were. These guys are all for the money and rightfully so, I would be too. If I knew I could only make $500M at the des nations but a week later $1MM at MEC you could bet your socks what I would be training...

I don’t feel bad. It’s business. If the market was there, or if they were more influential in developing the market, they wouldn’t be going under. They took a gamble and it didn’t pay off. It’s unfortunate but it’s business. The world markets aren’t ready for electric bikes.

Anybody want to take a guess at how early I’ll have to show up to the track Saturday and Sunday if commuting from a hotel? I’m thinking get there around 5am to get a day parking spot?

The Amish place was close to Ashland OH. I could place it on a map but don’t remember the name. Yoder maybe? :)

I know it’s off topic slightly but don’t underestimate hearing protection either. Inside the helmet can far exceed what OSHA recommends (mandates?) for single hearing protection and I bet gets close to, or even passes, for double hearing protection as well. Wish I would have started that years ago.

Amish. Sounds rediculuous but best re-sole on my gearne’s in the tri state area, and cheap.

Michigan may be different when it comes to the re-title but from everything I’d heard, if you want a dual sport you’re better off just selling your bike and buying one already street worthy. You’ll save time, money, and the hassle of dealing with the DMV.

Check out a Vanguard brokerage account and then invest in vanguard ETF’s. Plan to invest for a few years but rate of return has been shown to average around 5%.

There was a regional out in the northwest about 6 years ago that only had 8 in 450A, can’t remeber if it was pro sport or not. Blew me away that all you basically had to do was show up to make it to LL.

Ahh yes thank for your value added contribution to the conversation.
