Is there a limit on number of cylinders, domestic or int'l? Might be good for sumo. 😅

Speaking of pseudo-sumo...... Hope any of you saw the MotoGP sprint from Saturday. Binder and Miller freakishly backing in their bikes around Jerez. 300hp, 320#, V-4, with clip-ons.....

P.S. - How could you not root for the Hill brothers?

Good point, imo. I'm still impressed that Justin has been doing so well in the heats. Hoping he can find a way to do the same in the main, but with all the other talent that's still there it's gotta be that much more difficult. TBH, I didn't give either of them even a remote chance before the season started.I got that wrong lol. :ROFLMAO:
 
Just remembered.... : Hunter's gear in Nashville with the silverburst motif.

Oh yea, that was cool. Hunter is a metalhead from what I understand..
Wouldn't that be cool if any of us had the skillset on an MX bike to attract attention from Gibson?
Just daydreaming :LOL:
 
Yeah-
Webb
Barcia
Bloss
Anderson
All out for the last 2 SX rounds...
Hopefully they will be healed up for Pala!!

I really have no idea, but seems if there was they would not waste time on it. The rest of the teams would be screaming bloody murder :LOL:
 
I bought a pit bike today. My buddy I ride with who also has one is already sending me links for upgrades. Besides the obvious ones.

A couple subtle things to consider? ....

Only needs a few things...
- $2k titanium exhaust
- disc brake conversion with billet hubs and DID rims
- Ohlins suspension
- custom offset triples
- "a little clean up" of the porting
- thinner base and head gaskets
- slotted cam sproket
- .... (the list goes on and on :2thumbsup:)

Brakes!!? Brakes are for posers!

So far,

big bore kit and cam
24 mm throttle body and manifold
Larger intake
HD clutch springs
adult size foot pegs and controls
adult rated springs front and rear
Pro Taper adult size handlebar kit
Pro Circuit exhaust
Taller Gutz seat
BBR skid plate

I need to figure out something with the ECU. Most guys are increasing the rev limiter by about 1400 RPM. Among MANY other maps available. I’ll probably do a CJR flash eventually.

Sounds like you're in the true min-madness spirit -- more money into it than a 250 or 450. :ROFLMAO:
 
Just watched the LCQ Challenge privateer race. Sounds like Matthes has raised something like $120k for it, so far. I don't know the purse breakdown, but some of the prop donations are pretty good:

Wow!!

This extended season is taking its toll on the riders.
 
Yeah, that's crazy. Its the one thing that can change everyones mind about this whole new format. In 2 races, the entire scope of the title hunt has changed in a way that nobody saw coming.. How quickly everything changes.
Eli might be done. Achille's tendon is some painful stuff, your feet don't have enough blood flow for anything to happen quickly. He'll miss at least enough Nationals for it to negate any chance at the title and he was already thinking about retirement.
I hope I'm wrong.....

So it will be Sexton vs Jettson outdoors, given that Hunter is contemplating moving to the 450's next year, I think Star Yamaha will scoop up Sexton if Eli bows out. Honda is fully onboard with the Aussie assassins . And they probably should be, in the history of our sport this will be a chapter that might never happen again for a long, long time
