The motor cleaned up really nice! Wheels looking fresh! Rims are powdercoated, spokes are new, sprocket is new, hubs received a good cleaning. The brake components receiving much needed attention. Fits like a glove. Almost a complete bike again. Preview of the graphics. Happy with how...

Butttttt, did anyone die?

A lot of elbow grease and some help from various fluids/tools is the cleaning methid. Simple Green is the primary cleaning fluid used. Paired up with a combination of tools to actually remove dirt and grim including rags/paper towels, a drill with plastic brushes, wire and scotchbright wheels on...

Looking a little more like a bike. Really happy with how the fork tubes came out! Cleaned, but beat rear shock. That looks better! Even more like a bike again. Carb lookin' fresh! Motor waiting for a good cleaning. Boy does it need it...

Tear down in progress. My bike in a few boxes. Clean vs dirty Frame fresh and back from powdercoating

Formula E has a lot of money in it. Team budgets are in the neighborhood of $10 million, give or take a few million. The races take place at some top notch venues. They get TV coverage just as good as, if not better than, motocross. Based on the social media followings, in just a few years...

Picked up an 03 Kawasaki KX 125 nearly a month ago and have been plugging away at redoing it from top to bottom. Nearly every bit of the bike will have been taken apart and cleaned/refurbed/replaced when it is done. 90% of the bike was original, which would have been great if original didn't...

If they had less than 100 people in the stands, they lost a lot of money that night. I would assume that night was an anomaly or else they'd be out of business.

I'd like to see OIR hold their own race with a limited class line up, charge a little more for the entries to make up for less motos, and see what happens. In terms of how long motos should be; 10 minutes plus one lap would be the most I'd want to and be able to do without slowing to a snail's...

I finally had time to go through the pictures I took a few weekends at OIR and get them uploaded to my Facebook page. Check them out here!

I was a bit anxious upon seeing the title of this thread, but relieved once I opened it.

I know exactly who you're talking about. Great driver with lots of results over the years. A good example in motorsports where talent only gets you so far. I would be elated to experience even a fraction of what he's been able to, but hey gotta have some out of this world dream to chase.

It's more about whoever has the biggest checkbook when it comes to auto racing until you're at the pinnacle of your respective type of racing, and even then it doesn't hurt to be able to write your own checks instead of depending on sponsorship dollars. I'd guess 99.9% of people whoever make a...

Pipeline construction shut them down for a while. They're able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, though.

I snapped a handful of pics. I should have them up tonight or tomorrow on Facebook. I'll create a thread once they're up.

Track was awesome. Had an absolute blast; despite laying it down twice. I cannot wait to go back. I actually don't mind it split into motos. Forces me to take a break rather than over-exerting myself.

Motocross is the only motorsport I know of where people complain there are too many races being held at any given time. Blows my mind.

I feel the same way. The Xfinity race at Mid Ohio in the rain a couple years ago was among my favorite races I've ever watched unfold at Mid Ohio the numerous series that race there. Cars going off everywhere, it was almost to the point that the racing line literally became going off track and...

A collection of thoughts after being on the track today, take them as you may: - It was different - The sand is fun - Time management could have been better; 2 50's and 4 mini quads, each got their own practice group... Really? - I hope the sand lasts, it takes maintenance when dealing with a...
