Hey All! I'm wondering what your favorite MX boots are? You guys like the newer "tennis shoe" soled style? Or classic style? I like the Alpinestars Tech 8's myself. I have a feeling the older riders will opt for classic, and the young cats will opt for either video games or the tennis shoe...
I have a discontinued ABS plastic street bike fairing with a couple of cracks in it. I was thinking about having it plastic welded? Anyone do it, or know anything about it? Any good kits I could practice with? --L*64
Got the sad news that DMC Dave passed away. I've always been a fan, and I've talked to him on the phone a handful of times about metal fab/minibike projects. I lusted after the 105cc mid '80's KX's he built, and the CR85/XR100 conversions. --L*64
140- 14/17 wheels with a steel shock, no res, L- 16/19 wheels, G- 18/21, slightly longer frame at the neck, longer forks, longer shock clevis. L and G have an aluminum piggyback res shock. --L*64
It’s Dymond. But he’s my FB bud. I saw it on there too. From what his GF posted, his injuries are serious, but he should make a full recovery. Bicycles are more dangerous than motorcycles in my mind due to the minimal stability. I guess it depends how you’re riding the motorcycle- Joe Rice...
Premix and JJ- I agree fully. I know Larry from being around there. I think there’s likely more to it than what we think when it comes to track prep. I’m glad to have the track close to home that isn’t a supercross track.
I guess I’d say that you can’t please everybody, and we can’t expect...
Oh boy.... Ya. Lots of mad riders after intermission. I thought the layout was a lot of fun? If nobody rides on the pit bike track on race day, then I’d open it up and run it, then rope it back off on practice days as a pit bike track.
I’d say “ruined” is harsh. I heard a lot of people saying...
The name seems good, they look good, but apparently- they’re junk! Looks like Tusk for my vintage bike, and anodized stock for my trail thrasher then. Damn do I hate crap products!! AmateurWheel.... —L*64
Ya. I’m looking to get Tusk rims for my vintage 125. I’m wondering how much thought has gone into the names of current MX products? Tusk? Moose? I dunno- but feedback on Tusk has been good. Just wondering how the ivory incisors of a very large trunked mammal has anything to do with dirt bikes...
Awww boy. First I had to drill them to get the nipples through the rim holes.... Laced them up til the spokes bottomed out, and there’s at least an 8th inch of play between the rim and hub. Phew!! When I got the rims from them, they were supposed to be a simple “plug and play” as they called it...
Anyone ever ran these and had fitment issues? I’m having a huge hassle getting them to work, and they seem baffled when I call them about it? Like they’ve never heard of any problem with their product before? —L^64
Hey All! I’m working on lacing a set of black Pro Wheel rims for a TTR125L, to the stock hubs on my CRF150F mini bike. (This isn’t a racial, or breast related thread...) When I ordered the rims from PW, I specifically asked if the TTR rims will need to be drilled to accommodate the OEM Honda...
