So, the advantage of buying the year pass is you will be able to access ALL live events.  If you do monthly, you still have access to outdoor motocross but will lose access to some live events.    

Happy birthday Old timer! 

I'll believe Christian is going to 450's when I see him at the gate of A1.     He was adamant that he was retiring this year.    

Me likey!  If only I didn't have to put a new roof on the RV.  GLWTS or restoration

Pull the trigger already!  You won't regret it.  My friend has one on his back porch in Parker.  We ALWAYS have enough ice.  Filtration & maintenance are essential for longevity.  

On week 5 of tibia fracture/surgery.  Healing is going good, still no weight bearing.  Big plans today are to watch supercross!! And dream about walking on two feet again.

That may work ,......any pics?

This is not my bike but same seat.  It's a one piece pan.  I'm healing from fractured tibia/surgery and can't get to my seat at the moment.  It's hanging from the rafters in garage.   

  I've got a stock take off from a street glide.  But that's a two person seat.  I'm guessing you want a single seat?  Figured I'd check as you mentioned making the trike into a cruiser.  

Current view due to being off work ~6ish weeks. Yes, very bored.   

Week 2.5 on tibia fracture. Getting ready for supercross.  Got 27 staples removed Wednesday.

The boy is fast but can't seem to go more than 2-3 races without injuring himself.

damn dude, get something with a cage at yore age 🙂

Yep, been told that for years. (I'm a little stubborn)  This will likely make it happen sooner than later.  Pretty sure I'll always ride two wheels, just slower or less often. 

Watching a lot of TV. (Supercross today!!)  Crashed the dirt bike in Ocotillo wells Sunday, had surgery to fix my tibia on Tuesday.  Sent me home from desert regional hospital on Wednesday.  Now the months of healing / physical therapy begin.  My goal is to be riding my SE PK Ripper along the beach this summer.  

Stoked for Anderson and Craig.  Holeshots all the way to wins!   

Stank dog!!  2-smoker

Im still pretty new to watching SX consistently. Cant believe the stats for Yamaha. They havnt won much until recently? Hope Eli does more like the pic above!! 

The recent increase in wins is most likely due to them nearly doubling their team.  Kinda easy to set a lot of wins when you have so many riders.   

Yep, most peeps in hospital are vaxed as well.  The elites won't admit the vax doesn't work, so they make you feel better by saying it weakens the symptoms.  I've gone through covid twice (unvaxed) and am convinced it's not much more than the other 4 types of corona viruses.  It's not going anywhere, we have to live with it.

  Ever wonder why there was never a vax for previous Corona viruses?  It's because there is no effective way to make a vaccine that denatures the proteins. (Inactivates it).  

Hope your wife gets better soon ABC

This weeks race is on Peacock.

you can't record, but you cant set up a "Watch" List and then watch it later.

I'm gonna try that with something coming up to see if/how it works.

Just an FYI, every race is on peacock.  (The only reason I have it)

It'll be fine.... no worse than Costco on a Saturday.....😆

 

I would give yourself some extra time......a LOT of extra time... 

I would predict traffic to be a chit-show.  If you really want to go, head out early.   Putting the main event on a Saturday opens up a much larger crowd.     

Here's another

Seems like it weeds out the bike more than the rider. They setup the bike to make it through whoops and then it suffers on the rest of the track. Didnt Ricky say something about that during the broadcast? The guys will setup the bike for the whoops and then just deal with how it handles the rest of the track. Might see better racing and more passes if people could setup the bike to turn. 

Also brings up how can someone like the 722 be competitive in the whoops on his bike compared to say Andersons bike? 

I hear you, but if you want a great rider to win, variety is needed.   I feel it wouldn't be the same if say, you just have a turn track and setup the bike for turning, or a full track of nothing but whoops and set it up for whoops.  A track with variety will allow the more talented riders to show how they can adapt despite having the bike setup for one aspect of the track.  Kinda like how I prefer riding in hard pack vs. sand.  I could set my bike up for the dunes and it would handle great but when I ride in the desert I have to be able to ride, rocks, dirt, sand, etc. and adapt to the conditions.    

Going to supercross in Anaheim.

They got rid of a whoop section. Not sure why. 

Hell i think the whoops are kind of dumb. Dangerous for the riders. I like watching them rail turns and scrub jumps. Going by what the announcers say i think you would have completely different champions if the whoop section was gone. 

If you are fast at whoops. But slower everywhere else on the track. Are you really the fastest guy in SX? I would say no. While the results would sometimes say yes. 

I disagree, whoops weed out many riders.  I think they should run two sets of whoops, like they did back in the day.  Fast in the whoops doesn't make you the fastest in sx but it does allow for many passing opportunities.  Rhythm sections are fun to watch but the tracks need all aspects to get the most rounded riders on the box.   Oh yeah, heading to the big A in a few hours!
