This is just for fun. I know nobody randomly just picked a number to run on their ride. What made you choose the number you're running? I'll go first. Other than play bikes, and some road racing, I don't race anymore. In the '90's when I rode 125's, I picked my three digit number by morphing...

I haven't been on in awhile. I'm often surprised that we keep having these conversations on here that never really seem to go anywhere past here. I could think of so many ways to make the sport safer, and I've thrown out ideas a bunch of times. A free way to curb the gnarr, while possibly...

Mickey Marshall WAS so fast, and just never did anything with it. Since we're talking local now, does Harold lump into that category? What's funny is that Micky D. said that exact thing about the '89 YZ. He said they were fast, but they didn't handle. They just weren't Honda's.... --L*64

Micky won a 125 outdoor title in 1986, and 1987 on a Honda, but I believe that was it. He got a Yamaha deal after that, and was a complete bust due to injuries I think. Yamaha had some high expectations for him, and they weren't at all amused with his lackluster finishes. I think they dropped...

Yeah. Damon was a front runner for a little bit, but back then, we were looking for an all out dominator to replace Rick Johnson. Damon was short lived at the top. I think he retired at 22 maybe? I was going to mention Micky Dymond, but I wasn't sure anybody younger than 40 would know who he...

Damon Bradshaw? --L*64

Supermoto has got to be one of the coolest forms of motor racing. Somehow it faded as quickly as it came. I've been on a track with Mark Burkhart before, and watching the guy ride was poetry in motion to say the least. I wish it would come back. --L*64

George Singler was up in there in Super Senior. I think Kevin Foley is still at it in the Vintage races. --L*64

John250. I agree, Malvern is a BEAUTIFUL track. Problem is that the worst crashes seem to happen at random. I definitely agree that if you have a section where riders seem to make mistakes consistently, ya might as well change it up to something else. We've had these same conversations many...

Haha! I can take the heat for being a vegetarian! Those Peak graphics are pretty cool for sure! I kinda think those outside sponsors (like fast food) would definitely help gain interest in the sport. In Europe, MX and road racing aren't too far below soccer in popularity. Strange how NASCAR is...

I was on a different forum talking about getting some custom Taco Bell graphics made for my pit bike. Kinda took me back to the glory days of the Peak Antifreeze days. I swear that anytime I'm looking to buy antifreeze for my car-- I look for Peak to this day! It occurred to me that there hasn't...

That guy was ON the gas through the woods! --L*64

Very cool. I like that the event is so laid back. No who's better than who. Just get out, do some riding, and have fun. No sitting around waiting all day long for your moto to come up. I like the event alot, and I wasn't even riding. If you had it earlier in the year, it may get more riders? --L*64

I agree with 23MX. There have always been injuries and deaths from dirt bikes, but the internet spreads the news like wildfire. If it happened, but you didn't hear about it-- it didn't really happen. Another thing me and Pit talked about a few times is that the new crop of bikes are so...

Injuries do happen in other sports, but serious injuries per 100 participants has GOT to be exponentially higher in MX than any other sport. Gymnastics defies gravity, and I doubt that gymnasts even have the same or near the same numbers. We've had these conversations on here many times, but no...

I've heard Travis Patrana say-- "There's no money that could make me do the things I've done to my body. It's the love of the sport that keeps me going". There's alot to be said for that I guess. I love riding bikes as much as anybody, but I don't feel comfortable with the risk. I stay close to...

Ya. It was pretty cool. I love going out to Trev's spot even if it's just to spectate. He's an epic host, which makes the events even better. --L*64

I liked it myself, but I'm sticking to ONE vintage bike! It's a good thing that I don't have more money and room though. --L*64

Oh. Great! So they ARE worth the extra money. If it were easy to swap out a set of rims, that'd be one thing. Lacing up wheels is a huge pain in the ass, so I kinda just want them done and done. I need them for both my beloved 150F, AND my YZ100. The YZ rims are completely junked with hops...

Oh! Steve Smith! I used to be great buds with him 20 years ago. Wonder where he's at now? --L*64
