    2020 YZ250?

    Well, actually would be nice to have Yamaha have more updates than a new tank for 2020...but doubt that'll even happen. One of my main rubs with the YZ250 is that the radiator shrouds don't cover the tank which means graphics on the tank don't last long before getting bubbly and nasty looking...

    3 points...not so much

    Good to see that all the whining about those 3 points was all for nothing! Congrats to Dungey on another Supercross championship! Just too bad we had to witness Tomac crying so much about those 3 points in the press conference.

    New Mid-Ohio MX track

    LoL...Well not really but what an awesome long layout used for an AHRMA event out west. This is old school nirvana! Anyone been here? If you're going back, take me with you :) Guy did a great job with this HD drone vid.

    Anyone make it up to Delta's AHRMA regional race this weekend?

    I was looking forward to the this weekend to hit up the post vintage race at Delta (5/15), but the rainy, cool/windy weather sucked the enthusiasm out of making the drive up to Toledo. Anyone else go? How were track conditions and turnout?

    Rain at Smith Rd? ...it was the mud from hell at Casey's PV day!

    Hopefully the folks who went to Smith Rd's vintage races had better conditions than we had Sunday at Casey! Saturday worked out ok at Casey as the rain didn't start until after the vintage races were over, but it then came down hard with about 3.5 inches dumping in a few hours and then some...

    How'd AMA vintage days go for you?

    A fine weekend it was! A bit of rain before the weekend made for some nice conditions and the heat was downright bearable compared to last year. A big plus was having a starting gate that was on loan from Drew Wolfe! Though the track layout was similar to last year it seemed tighter in a...

    WAY too much Pit bike fun at Briarcliff's Monster triple crown pit bike races - 7/14

    As usual, Jeremy changed up the track again for round 2 of the Monster triple crown pit bike race. This one had a few longer straights and less tight turns, I'm happy either way as it's always a blast. This week, thanks to Wimers cycles and Briarcliff putting up some money there was a $50...

    Briarcliff this weekend for some old bike practice? Mid-Ohio's next weekend!

    I also posted this on the practice forum but thought I'd double post and put it over here too! With AMA Mid-Ohio vintage days coming up next weekend, anybody thinking of taking their old bike out to BC this weekend to get any kinks worked out in time for MO? If weather is good, I'm definitely...

    Ugh...1984 RM250 water pump impeller stuck...really really stuck!

    Replacing all the bearings and seals in the engine of my 1984 RM250 and the water pump impeller is giving me fits. It's mounted in the clutch side case and the shaft the impeller mounts to has 2 flats spots on the end that the impeller slides over. I have the 10mm bolt off and I don't believe...

    1981 490 Maico vs. 1981 250 Maico

    I've posted this around in a few spots and thought I'd see if anyone here has an opinion. For quite some time I've wanted an 81 490 Maico and as I get closer to breaking the piggy bank, I find myself wondering how the 81 250 compares to the 490. Back in the day I had the opportunity to ride a...

    A1 track layout seemed fine by me...riders thought otherwise?

    I guess I shouldn't be surprised but seems I heard nothing but negative feedback on the A1 layout from the riders (and some fans). Yeah, it wasn't a typical four stroke layout where riders swoop around big bowl turns and keep a consistent flow going but if all the riders have to deal with the...

    Why won't Chrome browser won't bring up PitRacer?

    Why won't Chrome browser bring up PitRacer? Anybody had issues with this browser not bringing up Pitracer? I've tried a few different settings...of the sites I frequent, this is the only site it doesn't work with. Comes up fine with Firefox and IE8.

    Anybody heading up to SVR for the AHRMA practice/race next weekend?

    I just saw the post on the main board that mentions the race will be on their GP track which has about 4 minute lap times. I'm planning on going to practice on Saturday and the race on Sunday...with it being so close I'll probably just drive up each day rather than stay there Sat night. I...

    Bubba's move a take out or just racing...deja vu

    Remember Reed's attempted block pass on Bubba at Atlanta? Remember how Bubba was a bit pizzed and said that he doesn't try to pass riders the way Reed tried to pass him? (pfft !) Just like Reed's pass attempt, I see Bubba's identical type of pass attempt on RV at Toronto to be a rubbins...

    Wish I lived closer to Parma...

    ...Parma Dave that is ! Yeah, I know it's been talked about many times...but based on the stuff I've sent his way I HAVE to give props to the guy. I've never come across anyone who's as conscientious about getting a job right and keeping his customers happy as he is! Seriously!

    rising rate vs falling rate? - YZ monoshock

    I've posted this question on a couple of old bike forums as I need to figure out real soon whether I'm going to keep the shock in question. I bought a new shock for my 1981 YZ250 from one of the larger suspension companies that deals with vintage/post vintage bikes. I had an issue with the...

    shot in the dark regarding a part I need

    I have no idea how I did it but the upper fork tube (brake side) is tweaked on my 2006 YZ250 and it needs to be replaced. I found a complete set of 2006 YZ450 forks on ebay that I can buy cheaper than buying just a new upper tube and I might go that route. Couldn't find just the 2006 upper...

    EVOMX244...I see your selling your 83 CR250

    That's seems to be a pretty good running bike your selling, doesn't seem like you get too emotionally attached to your PV bikes. I'm curious what your next PV bike will be? Surely, your not getting out of the PV scene?
