    AMA Sound Testing Kits

    As Pres and Treasurer of D11, I can attest to the fact that 10 years ago, prior to the AMA providing any for free, the District bought three testing kits and distributed them to the MX, Enduro and HS divisions. They have since disappeared with former officers not recalling what happened to...

    AMA Sound Testing Kits

    Such negativity AHRMA guy. As the pic proves, all the things you said wouldn't happen did. This was a HS at HVMC and the club members involved were trained and eager. Could some things been done better like the location? Yes, but trackside testing is for a different purpose than lab testing...

    AMA Sound Testing Kits

    I recognize that pic - I took it! Haha, but I can also attest to the fact most bikes that day passed and the only one that didn't was a KTM520 with the biggest end cap on it and had likely never been repacked. Most violators were quads and were told to make it quieter and come back for another...

    Who's This?

    Mark,, Jeff's dad Dan Gibson? The Pepsi/Y Yamaha guy is the famous Tom Cowher! Now who's the cleanest guy in this pic? You can find the answer on the D11 FB site if you need to.

    Nice 96 RM250 in Columbus

    Mark, I had a '85 RM250 too back in the day. Never rode on a better suspension system, but lost confidence in Suzie trannies - after winning at HH, I went to a LL qualifier the next weekend at Steel City and 3rd gear broke the first lap if practice. I heard it happening on other guys bikes too...

    Vintage Trials Riding

    Haha, yeah they need flywheel weights at a minimum. Buyer is driving up from Texas this weekend to get it. Says the day after the Houston SX his local track, Rio Bravo, has an open ride day and DeCoster is always there. He's gonna get him to sign the number plate. Something tells me Roger...

    Yes, They live among us!

    Oh, I believe they're real... because they re-elected Obama. BTW, Chicago has one of the highest crime rates in the country and favorite stomping ground of guys like Al Capone.

    Stuff trail riders should be thinking about, even though it's not about a riding area

    Senator Brown's latest response regarding my AMA "take action" email on the EPA approval of E15 gas: "With high oil prices, the further use of ethanol and other renewable forms of energy has slowed the increase in the price of gas and helped reduce our nation’s reliance on foreign oil. During...

    Vintage Trials Riding

    Just looked at it. Would be fun, but is the same weekend as the AMA vintage national at Log Road, which I wanted to do. Found myself owning a '82 CR480 that was all rebuilt and anxious to ride it. I know this is a trials area, but selling this TM400 this weekend:

    Vintage Trials Riding

    That sounds like fun. I'll have to consider that if the DS won't wear me out too much! Been polishing on it more and tightening, adjusting, lubing, etc.

    Action Sports site on dates for 2013 AMA Vintage National Championship Series round

    Brings back memories as I had one when I rode A class. The dogbone shock linkage is what makes them feel topheavy, but the motor runs sweet when jetted right. They are too rich stock - make sure it has a Q-4 needle jet or you'll foul plugs (I think Q-8 was stock). Then it runs like a Maico!

    Stuff trail riders should be thinking about, even though it's not about a riding area

    I "took action" through the AMA website regarding the Sportsman Act and sent a note to Senator Brown. His reply in a nutshell: "While I understand concerns stemming from specific hunting and fishing components of the Sportsmen’s Act, this bill supports a number of key wildlife conservation...

    Farewell My Friend!

    Guess what? I owned that bike too! Your former owner bought it from me. I bought it off Ebay from the guy who had it rebuilt. There was a framed pic of the pro that raced it at the national, but the neatest thing was the trick factory fork adjusters that are on it. I never rode it, but if...
