I just found out today after watching the battle of the bikes as they left the start line at 11pm Thursday night. This is a new format to avoid getting taken over by the 4 wheeled vehicles who take off at 9am Friday(it seems like every other year, a bike or atv is hit from behind). Truly...

Thanks for the input, Houndog. Do you have any issues mixing the oil in the tank from the listerine bottles while at a gas station? From all my searches, it seems like people put the oil in first, followed up by the fuel, and "slosh the bike around". I even considered bringing a 2nd empty...

Do 4 strokes have an advantage over 2 strokes here? Assuming that the bike is jetted and geared at least reasonably to factor out failure by sitting at the redline for eternity... 1) Does a 4 stroke dirt bike offer an advantage over 2 strokes in the ability to survive highway/freeway? (Is...

I was just about to purchase my tickets right now until the page's timer ran out and I saw your post. The best bet for seating, by far, seems to be the "red seats" because they're less than $10 more than the yellow general seating and much cheaper than the $45 front row seats. Let me know if...

I just looked at the Ontario schedule, and the end of show is listed as 10pm. I assume it will be close to the same for the Everett show.

I doubt this is an option, but any chance that there are anymore volunteers needed? :D firffighter: got your tickets already?

Yes, I agree! I'm pretty thankful because I'm in an odd position with my rear suspension awaiting the operating table and I don't want my parts holding up business or taking up space at LTR.

Thanks for the reply. Ironically, my 45mm Marzocchi is actually at LTR right now and just found out an hour ago that the previous owner had done some really bad work on the fork. The resulting damage has rendered the fork not worth the money required to fix it. What condition is the fork in...

I haven't been in this particular venue. In some events, like MMA events in Seattle, I just watched the bigscreen while in the "cheap seats" since I was so far away. On the other hand, my "good seats" at the same arena were totally worth it. How is the seating in this arena and would you...

Hello, I'm looking for a replacement fork/frontend to install on my 2004 EC200. If I need a front wheel/axle/clamps, I'll do what it takes to make it work. Let me know what you have. Thanks. Feel free to text the info if that's more convenient for you. -Ron 626 392 2919

Is anybody attending this event on October 26th? This season looks very exciting the 41 year old Mike Brown winning the first 2 events, and the dominant Taddy Blazusiak winning the latest round. I just hope the Gas Gas trials bike doesn't cut out like it did in the last round when it was in...

Thanks for the tips on cutting the whale tail. I was just thinking, "hmm.. that line is pretty damn conveniently placed.. almost like a perforation line." Pscook: I may very well sell it since I need to get my bike plated soon. And we also live pretty damn close so I could drop it off on my...

Thanks and BTW, where do you get your rear light/plate holder piece? Thanks for the replies and photos of your guys' solutions. I ended up hammering something as a punch to barely enlarge the silencer end(and a torch to get the damn thing back out :D). It worked beautifully as only 1-2mm was...

A photo of the bracket would be great. Thanks for the info on how you did your 2011 conversion. Thanks for the welding idea. If expanding/reducing the pipe or silencer is not feasible, swapping that portion of the silencer is a good idea that I haven't thought of before. FMF still makes a...

I bought my 04 ec200 used with a FMF Fatty pipe(discontinued for the 200) on it and did the 2011 conversion. I bought a 2011 FMF silencer(Q stealth) to fit the new alloy subframe silencer mounting bracket as the old one doesn't line up. -The new silencer seems to line up with the subframe...
