Probably the same person that claimed Emig's bike his first year back to the ranch in 25+.

I was thinking the same thing. Though I guess it's fair to say that most, if not all of the riders qualified in 25+ are probably experts.

I didn't know you could claim bikes so I also want to know how you do it. Our bikes really look pathetic compared to that. Larry was just saying how poor our bikes look and I said " who cares what they look like as long as Chris does OK. Of course our 450 is very tired and sad but what the heck we are only an alternate in that class anyway. It has to wait it's turn. Can not keep up with all these rebuilds.

You only made one mistake in this sport from that statement...you decided to start racing without a LARGE fortune in order to come out of it with a smll fortune!

Im not sure a 100% about this. But im guessing by claim, you mean to protest the rider and hope for their bike to be against regulations? Because I have heard that if a rider fails a protest, you have the option to buy their bike from them? Again, all through the grapevine I have never acutally been the victim of a protest. Im usually too far back in the pack for anyone to care lol.

You have to file a claim with the referee no longer than 30 minutes after the last moto of the class (or maybe event). The owner then has 30 minutes to produce the bike in tact with bill of sale or title. It is retail price plus 30%. If they do not produce the bike, they forfiet their title, place, etc. and are suspended for one year from competition. This was posted on another thread on here some where.

If that is the case it could be quite pricey. Not into that.

Nice, What are they trying to prove by this? That the rider is riding a bike not owned to them? And what about regional to LL... is there anything about needing to have the same bike at both events?

I doubt it. What if your bike was stolen before LL?

Not true!
The rule for claiming is twice the MSRP. - And you must be racing in that class.
Keep in mind that if that is a prior year bike, this cpould be a deal for someone with, say $16k or $20k to blow! lol
Needles to say tho, it is nowhere near an amateur bike. - Tires alone are unobtainable at amateur level.
-Just saying.

Claiming means that you want to buy the bike. Has nothing to do with a protest. 2x MSRP (due to Alessi claiming a bike years ago when it was MSRP + a percentage and they got a steal.

Nope, just have to have the same bike for the day. - Frame actually. You can change engine and all, as long as frame numbers match once you race first moto.
