    MXdN Teams - who is going to win?

    MAN I wish I could have pulled off timing for Maggiora MXdN. Some great teams. Good Ole USofA is going to have a tough time of it but has a chance. Complete list of teams here: http://www.cyclenews.com/2016/08/article/2016-motocross-nations-teams/ My guesses- 1st Belgium. Strijbos...

    Go to a mxgp

    They are totally cool. Who knows what the heck the crowd is singing to oompah music but I bet it's got something to do with Heerlings 2nd in moto1. Mud/sand fest.

    So how come I didn't ever hear about this until now? http://ashtabula.craigslist.org/mcy/5722100238.html What a great idea. Get the kids out to a race, no pressure, run any old beater mini you can find.

    Yer federal taxes

    Short for those that are attention disadvantaged. Note that they mention the top 1% but don't give numbers for that. The figures from the actual report show that is also progressive with the notable exception of payroll taxes (SS and medicare) which are very not progressive...

    Apparently I'm the luckiest old guy in the whole wide room

    Flat track last Saturday. Lightweight vintage and +50 (pimped Falasco and Forbush by not running +60) Trials Inc Sunday. First time in 10 years, got better every loop. But first loop kept me off the podium. On a big aluminum bird Friday to get PAID to race NMDRC desert race in Las Cruces...

    YZ suspension interchangability

    Anybody know if the suspension from a 2015 YZ250F will fit on a 2011 YZ450F? We can get a deal on one but only if our 250's dirt track suspension will fit it. It looks like the rear shock reservoir on the 2011 450 is meant to clear the loopy pipe - it sticks out sideways. Will our vertical...

    MotoGP soap opera

    I don't know if any of you jokers follow MotoGP at all but the last race of the year is going to be interesting. For sure the lead up has been interesting. Valentino Rossi has been leading the points since the beginning of the year. He has 7 points over Jorge Lorenzo going into the last race...

    Lawnmowers to Alpha Centauri

    Minding my own business reading WSJ this evening when I spot: "The joint venture has also turned to Roush Fenway Racing, a specialist in Nascar racing cars, to develop a lawnmower-size internal combustion engine to power the upper stage of the rocket in space, allowing missions such as repairing...

    Thread not done

    Hershey says: "If I knew an employee was beating his wife or manufacturing explosives , other than for fun backyard stuff, I would contact the police." So fun backyard stuff, though illegal, is OK? It's really your morality you are requiring your employees to conform with, not the law then...

    How fast is a motocrosser?

    We decided to find out, though our bikes are now dirt trackers. The boy needed to practice starts with lights, just like the pros use at the dirt track and for $15 bucks we made a dozen or so runs each at Thompson Raceway last night. 2006 YZ250f - 13.97 @ 89mph 2004 YZ450F - 13.24 @ 96mph (ran...

    If this ain't off topic, I don't know what is.

    So I'm sitting around sipping the apple jack I made this year, watching the wife, son, and mom-in-law prepare for tomorrow's festivities. My job is to stay upright and make sure there is music. Somehow, I got to this - which is an amazing display of talent. If I could only forget who is...
