    Last week Dungey's 2nd moto bad start put him back in a hole for sure . Took some pressure off Roczen .I can't remember Roczen having a really bad race all this season . I'm looking at Dungey to win a moto and overall with the other three jumbled up in any random order . KR's speed and...

    Roger Decoster Heikki Mikkola Ake Johnson Oh , wait , that was a flashback . Darn home made wine . Dungey Tomac Canard Roczen is rattled and is going to get a poor start , ride over his head , and crash .

    When doing a resto-- do you prefer paint or powder?

    You've got it figured out already .

    Washougal (spoiler)

    Finally looked like Dungey and the bike were working together . The guy is super determined and SMART . The ultimate professional in my book . Hope he stays that way and rewrites the record books like I think he can . Did Grant have a practice crash or did he get hurt last race ? This has to...

    So I found my YZ100!! Anybody have any good info about them?

    Congrats ! Is the bike already a runner ? If not , my buddies and I have found ( after many bike resurrections ) that it pays off in the long run to do a total engine tear down . Check all the gears , shift forks , etc. and replace all seals and bearings that are even questionable ( all is best...

    Vintage Days- Hard Lessons Learned

    The old bikes were designed with the shock bodies mounted to the swingarm ; chain clearance was not a problem . When everybody started running their shocks " upside down " the rub occurred . On some bikes the shock mounts have enough slop that a shim/washer can be used to " cheat " the shock...

    Correction , the Penton I had was an MC5 as pointed out by a buddy I just got off the phone with . And as a matter of fact , he knows of an acquaintance of ours that has just put his MC5 on the market .

    Maico

    I have 3 buddies who are fanatics of the German marque . They have been gathering parts and bikes for years , to have spares , but most parts are fairly available from some shops that specialize in them . Ebay and Mark's Vintage Swapmeet are great sources too . The early 70s 125 and 501 models...

    Vintage Days- Hard Lessons Learned

    What is the verdict on the shocks on the MX 250 ?

    Rough riding at Apple Cabin MX track.

    Godfather , good luck to you and your boys . It can be tough getting started in the sport . I would suggest looking up the owner/promoter at each track you go to and get a feel for how things are ran . Maybe just drop by and watch a bit before even taking them to ride at a new facility . Always...

    Budd's Creek

    Dungey ! Maybe K-Roc isn't invincible ? I realize that RD was haulin A to stay ahead of those guys but it just looked to me like his suspension was " busier " and not staying in contact quite as well as everybody elses . He was determined and tireless . He peeled his helmet off ; no dirt on his...

    AMA vintage days

    Thanks for the video . Nice ride . Looks like you dive into the turns a little deeper than most and the bike sounds crisp too . Seemed like Jack was having the rear step out just a bit but was hauling pretty good . How did everybody end up ?

    Big Blue & the 250 outdoors

    For a long time I've had the same type of thoughts as Georgie for setting up a race series similar to the old IROC car racing series . Use all the same bikes with identical motors ( as much as possible ; I know you can build two identical motors and one might run better than the other ) , even...

    Red bud discussion.... Spoiler alert

    Roczen wasn't even breathing hard and didn't look like he had broken a sweat in his interview right after the 2nd moto . Baker training at its finest . Tomac looked strong too and I think he might get even better as the season progresses . My favorite , Dungey , seemed to be struggling a bit and...

    How fast is a motocrosser?

    Would like to get my 1984 CR500 Husky to a strip sometime . It has a 6 speed transmission and I never had it anywhere I could catch top gear . These bikes were desert favorites . In an article I found in an old magazine , they were purported to top out between 110 - 115 mph . Only drawback is...

    KTM 2 Stroke Premix

    Maxima Super M is also a great oil . Started using it at the suggestion of a buddy who was a KTM dealer . Said that engines were super clean on tear downs when using this oil . It is what all our group is using now , even in our vintage bikes . Chain saws , weed eaters , etc. seem to like it...
