    The day I Met Life....SX 2015 about in the books

    Yep , 250 shootout should be really good . I'm ready for the MX championship to start though . Looking for Dungey and Webb to triumph there . Silly season 2015/2016 could be interesting with team changes and guys like Marvin moving up .

    Holeshot

    You are blessed ! Congratulations . Now start buying and setting up a dirt bike , car , boat , some bows , and guns for her while they are all still legal and the prices haven't quadrupled by the time she is old enough to enjoy them ( of course you can keep them functional until then ) .

    Spring Turkey Season 2015

    Started today and .....Yahtzeee! I busted my heaviest gobbler ever . Tipped my scales ( used for shipping weights for ebay ) at 23.52 pounds . A half pound heavier than my previous fat boy . Wouldn't fit completely into the 5 gallon bucket I use to scald birds for plucking . 10 inch beard . One...

    Houston we may have a problem

    Track blew . Dungey was 8th fastest , got a mediocre start in the main and put on a clinic for everybody but Seely ( Luck was on his side but Good for Cole ! ) . His best ride of the season , IMO , and with another couple laps might have taken the win but didn't need it anyway . Hope all the...

    Ryan Dungey's title to lose ....

    IMO , Dungey only rides 85-90% . That is why he is so consistent and lasts a whole season . Yes , in the interviews he always says he gave everything on the track but I read that as everything he was Willing to give . He is too smart to ride the ragged edge all the time . That is why I said a...

    Bogle swapped motors inbetween heat and Main

    My thought on the pro's riding stockers was that the tracks would have to be tamed down . For years I have half jokingly suggested that an IROC style MX/SX series be created where the riders race on identical ( as close as possible ) bikes and only be allowed to change ergonomics ( bars , seat...

    Bogle swapped motors inbetween heat and Main

    Personally , I'm glad that bike development has stalled a bit . The more the bikes advance the more radical the tracks become to challenge them ( the rider actually ) . Other threads are discussing the dangers of the sport and are blaming the bikes and the tracks ( among other things ) . Even...

    Ryan Dungey's title to lose ....

    Great , clean pass by Tomac but it looked like Dungey kind of leaned in to it , expecting some contact . When ET in "on " he is awesome and as fast as any of the best . I think RD could have kept pace and pushed him but why should he ? He rode smart on a tough track , as a champion should ...

    Stuck.

    I rode a buddy's Yam 250f ( an '09 or '10 maybe ? ) that had a big bore kit ( don't remember what final displacement was ) and it was one of the most awesome motors of anything I've ever ridden , including some of the classic big bore 2-strokes . I am 185lbs and it had more balls than you would...

    Oldest Jersey?

    I had a pair of those too . My first " MX " boots were a pair of lineman boots . They went almost to the knee and LACED the whole way up . Long MX socks rolled down over the top of course . Also had the sweatshirt with the knobby tire track print across it . Open face helmet with a duck bill...

    Indianapolis sx

    Dungey and Marvin are on fire ! DeCoster's jaw must hurt from grinning . I just know some d!@khead is going to say Dungey is only winning because RV & Bubba aren't in it . If God had meant Shaheen to do math , he would have given him brains . Gotta be impressed by Jordan Smith getting 4th ...

    Daytona SX: Let's get this party started, right?...

    Great for RD and it looks like his championship to lose but I think his consistency will prevail . Anything could happen though , just look at Roczen . Shorty is becoming the holeshot king that Alessi was . Too bad he fades but plenty of others do too . Puzzles me about Canard's starts ; you...

    Who here plays guitar?

    Great pic , Mike , and though it has been a while , the last time I saw you most of that hair was still with you ( I on the other hand ......) . First songs I had to attempt were Billy Joel's , Piano Man and Neal Young's , Heart of Gold - classic harp pieces . Now am trying Petty's , Last Dance...

    Who here plays guitar?

    Any pics of a young Beenridin in full rock regalia - crazy hair , studded leather bracelet , earring , etc . ? C'mon Mike , we would all like to so that . I was never in band or played any instruments in school . Bought an acoustic guitar when in my 20's ( which I still have ) but never really...

    MXGP Starts This Weekend

    Yep , Pomeroy on a Bultaco and Lackey on a Zook . RV's performance was subpar for him and had uncharacteristic mistakes . He'll do better . Had forgotten how wide the GP tracks can be and was surprised that they were racing under the lights . Never heard of a world GP under lights but haven't...

    MXGP Starts This Weekend

    If any American has a chance at beating the furriners at their own game it is RV ( Like others have stated , I also was never a big fan but respect his capabilities ) . This harkens back to the days when I was a kid and excited about our riders trying to compete with the Euros . Along those...
