On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '
I've been using kickasstorrents since the piratebay was shut down (just to browse obviously because downloading stuff is illegal guys ).
What an awesome round A2 was. So many aggressive moves. Loved it.
Awesome action in both classes this weekend.

Best round so far. Nice to see a couple of vets ie Chad Reed and Ryan Dungy scooping up a few points.
Here's something interesting i thought was interesting, The 250's were doing 50.3 lap times and the 450's 52's and you would think the 450 guys were faster riders as well , does that mean the top 250 guys would win the 450 main if they were allowed to enter on their 250's ?, or perhaps Dungy would be 3 seconds a lap quicker on a 250 cheater bike
more that the track was more broken down for the 450's, they normally fix the track before the mains, so the 250 main is a better track,
its not unusual to see a 250F go faster overall, both Eli Tomac and Dean Wilson did it a couple of years ago, there is some talk that the 450's are to much for SX and the racing would be better if it was all on 250F's Arenacross in the states has gone that way already,
i was around when this happened last time, in the 2 stroke era 500's were phased out as 250's were much faster, pity though as 500's were cool to watch
Interestingly the HP stakes are similar as i see in the latest Motocross action that a Stock 250F makes about 42 Hp at the wheel and a 450 about 55, pretty much the same numbers as the 2 strokes from the 80's
55 is to much, 42 about right ? (just did some research and see the moded 250F's are making upwards of 50 hp at the wheel)
Head to head in the Motorcross Des Nations, I remember a few years ago seeing the 250's cut through the pack to win in several races, Would Dungy get disqualified for running a 250 in the 450 main ?
no, you can run a 250F in the main class, and a few have, i think some have made the night show, but never a main,
doing a fast lap, and winning a race, or getting high enough in a 6 lap heat, semi or LCQ to make the main is a very different thing, even KTM are not running a 350 any more, as the starts mean so much, and passing is alot harder when you dont have the HP,
MX with longer motos, and much more room to pass and keep corner speed up is a bit easier, but its been a few years since a MX2 bike was on the podium in the MXDN race, AC222 and RV2 both have won races in the pass, with RV2 winning both his motos in 07 at budds creek USA
Think you must have misheard, 250s were doing 53s, 450s 52s lap times as per here
