    Who's gonna grab this?

    I liked it myself, but I'm sticking to ONE vintage bike! It's a good thing that I don't have more money and room though. --L*64

    Pro Wheel or Excel rims?

    Oh. Great! So they ARE worth the extra money. If it were easy to swap out a set of rims, that'd be one thing. Lacing up wheels is a huge pain in the ass, so I kinda just want them done and done. I need them for both my beloved 150F, AND my YZ100. The YZ rims are completely junked with hops...

    Alibaba IPO? Anybody get in on it?

    You've been quite the saavy investor Pit! I'm at the point where I don't want to buy in the perceived high, although I thought Netflix was at a high a long time ago, but it just kept climbing. Before all the volitility in the markets this month, the markets had been trading sideways for quite...

    Pro Wheel or Excel rims?

    I need to lace up a new set of rims on my whip. The stock rims have some hops in them. The Excels are about 130 bucks each, and the Pro Wheel rims are only 90. Are the Pro Wheels chinko? Are the Excels worth the extra $80? If my dad were reading this, he'd say that ya get what ya pay for, but he...

    Alibaba IPO? Anybody get in on it?

    GoPro has definitely had a good run. I wouldn't look at not getting into a stock on the ground floor as a miss when you're talking about a solid company with a good game plan, unless you were planning on jumping in and out on the short term. I guess I have an old school buy and hold train of...

    Alibaba IPO? Anybody get in on it?

    Sturd-- You seem pretty knowledgeable about Alibaba. How do you you know so much? Or is it just that you're a long time investor? I watch alot of CNBC (Kelly Evans is hot!), and they have been talking about declines in the small caps, the Russell, and cheaper gas prices as indicators of a...

    So I found my YZ100!! Anybody have any good info about them?

    Whaddya got in the shed? Any cool old bikes? What's funny, is that I thought bikes were technological wonders in the mid '80's. Now that I have this old one hunnert, I keep looking at it thinking...."Who in the F designed this??". --L*64

    So I found my YZ100!! Anybody have any good info about them?

    Oh really? That guy had it set up really nice with Ohlins shocks. It was so nice, I'm not even sure I'd have ridden it. The vintage guys I've met so far seem like quite an affable bunch. I was just thinking about my YZ today, and what I wanted to do to it. I keep wanting to do a full resto, but...

    RV racing Europe, yeah right then RC is riding 80s again!

    I saw that on You Tube. What's that about? I know they do a benefit 85cc race in Europe, wonder if that's it? --L*64

    Smith road listened

    People always talk about it when it's bad news, great to hear some good news this time. Good job Larry. Hope it's like that all the time now. --L*64

    Here ya go Knox only $265,000

    I guess it depends on what defines "successful" motocross. I look at motocross the same as sex and pizza. Even when it's bad, it's still pretty decent......, ........, bahahahahahaha! --L*64

    Here ya go Knox only $265,000

    J-- I gotta disagree with ya in that the clubs fail. You may be right about the fighting amongst the members, but I would attribute that to having soooo many members involved. (I think Amherst keeps 125, and I have no idea about Western Reserve). Those clubs have been successful longer than...

    smith road

    Larry is a good guy, and without him, Smith Rd. may have had a subdivision built on it by now. Gotta keep that in mind. George had plenty of bad days for sure. Maybe Apple Frank or Jason would help Larry out for a day, and give him their input. I used to think it was the dirt, but if that was...

    Here ya go Knox only $265,000

    Oh! So I'm NOT the only one who had this train of thought? Sweet! I worked with George S. about 15 years ago for a coupla months. My dad told me that if I wanted to buy the track from George-- he'd make it happen for me. The problem is that riding dirt bikes, and understanding how a track...

    Anyone Looking for a Job?

    I get the drug test, that makes sense. BUT!! IMO-- a persons' credit report would be alot more informative to me than the drug test. When was the last time you saw somebody on pills, crack, or heroin that was current with their financial obligations? (I don't drink alcohol, or use drugs myself...

    Here ya go Knox only $265,000

    Ya. I believe Meadowlarks has been in biz since the 1950's. The problem with Amherst if there is one, is that there are 125 members that vote on track changes, and operations in general, and that a good number of those members change year in and year out. If you are in a $300K property with only...

    Here ya go Knox only $265,000

    Get 10 guys to go in with you, and make it into a club like Meadowlarks. I've been thinking about doing something like that myself. Then I could have the track to my liking, and it would probably pay for itself with practices and races. The payment would be minimal on a 30K property. --L*64
