all I could think about when he was running the dirt road was  a 165 main jet.  :roll:

Did he take the rings out of the bike to kick it like that?!  Mine doesnt kick that easy WITH a compression release

I really do hope he enters a race, and puts the hurt down..    Like I know he can.


Do you realise  the shockwave that would send through the industry!?

would be one for the history books,  we all would be talking about it 30yrs later...

It would be a complete vindication of what a lot of us have been saying for years...
I hope it happens..

I think it would vindicate what hhe was payed  for to not say all these years   ever since the 80's. The money was in motocross so the bikes were developed to go around a track.     With a few Austrian exceptions
