    2019 ANAHEIM ONE SUPERCROSS | PURSE PAYOUT

    JLaw did make very good money and publicly started that when he banked 1million, he would be gone. He's gone Not sure Surovick got JLaw that kind of bonus money, but he did really well, but that was the days of Ninja mortgages for people to buy 300-400 K homes without an income. Prior to...

    Where did your # come from..

    Yeah I remember that place. They closed down to make a golf course, but I hear it still there. All grown over. Going down 79, man that was bumpy. Like not enough concrete between the seems at the time.

    Where did your # come from..

    999 in 1979 Went to 99 in late 79. Less money for numbers for my new Yamaha 465. Shop had only 2 packs of "9's". Went A in 1980 and got 199, since 99 was taken in D6. Used 199 except I used 719 in 82 and 83 at Ponca city 1984 I got my pro card and got 997 hated the number. Wanted 999...

    Cost of Bikes

    18 around here are 5700 out the four for that 250. I traded a 2018 Yamaha 450 for 4500. Just the nature of bikes. Plain and simple.

    Cost of Bikes

    This is about right. Just thought I would share. I bet this bike won't sell quick, but it is priced accordingly.

    Cost of Bikes

    I look at KBB and set to trade in price. I sell it. Usually everyone thinks I'm giving it away. If it doesn't sell, I trade it in. You have to find s good shop for trading though. Fortunately, I have 2 large MX dealers here in Central PA. They always trade. 2018 YZ 450 for for about 4500...

    Cost of Bikes

    Look at cycle trader prices on new bikes. If they are selling a brand new 2017 CRF 250 or RMZ 250 for 4999.00 in your area, you might as well sell a good, slightly used 2018 yz 250F for 4 grand. No a up and coming kid doesn't want you yz250f. They need the badest new bike because they are...

    When do we see Rocket Robin on a Suzuki

    I'm with Rocket on this one. This is going to be the future. Noise is a big issue around here in the hills of Penciltucky. The batteries in the 2018/2019 are much, much better than 2017. New bike with newwer battery tech lasts more than 3-4 laps before it gets hot. I'm close to...

    Who would u bet on?

    That video at HiPoint shows that James was the fastest guy, just crashed to much. Never really liked him, not because he was a minority, but just thought he got "extra" treatment . But knowing what I know since my wife works at ClubMX, he definitely was a minority in the sport. I think that...

    The 2019's....

    Me too. I hated those KTM bikes for the last two years. Quit racing Got a Yamidog and back to racing . I love em. Different colors for different people . Not everyone can ride a pumpkin.

    Moosecans pass....

    I like real racing. If it was such a good pass, we would all be praising MM25 like we did when BB4 passed ET3 at CO last year. Controversy is good. Most times . Right now the rider support for the series is going to be at an all time low, riders are getting busted for PED ( that's another...

    Moosecans pass....

    Left the door open? You saw something different than I. Et3 was in the lowest rut. We are going down a slippery road . NASCAR isn't doing well. Checkers or Wreckers doesn't make the sport grow. Just look at NASCAR. All I know is MM25 tried to justify a bad pass. " I lead the most laps, I...

    Do we really want to continue to call this “Supercross”

    About over the whole MX scene. Racing stinks at the pro level. Lots of injuries. Crazy hard tracks that most will crash hard on. I know they are pushing it, but these injuries are too much for me. Never thought I would say this after I've been involved since 1971 and raced pro for a few...

    Privateer Standing Up

    My brother, at 48, still races an occasional national or GP. You guys know that the pay from 1994 for the nationals is still the same?? 24 years and no raise. The entry fees sure have risen though.....

    Privateer Standing Up

    Isn't that the truth. It isn't a "career" like a normal career where you actually get paid well if you do something well. The tide is a turning, and I hear a lot of rumblings from the guys at Club. Oh yeah, that last race the guys raced THREE times for the same money, and didn't pay anyone...

    So many helmets... which one to pick?

    There are many reasons of thought on helmet technology today. 6D did a good job, but others have taken what they did and improved upon it in smaller diameter and lighter weight shells. Smaller diameter shells put less rotational torque on the head and neck and lighter composite shells are easier...

    Ain’t just Ohio moto that’s dead

    I read all the posts. Anyone who doesn't think moto is dying has not been around long in this industry/sport or is simply ignoring the facts. Motorcycle sales are down, according to MCI. Maybe KTM is up, but that's because the shop's owners ( genetally) are enthusiastically involved in...
