DR-Z400SM with a second set of dirt wheels. The 650 is a pig compared to the 400. There isn't much of a power difference if you jet the carb properly, 3x3 mod, and throw a pipe on the 400. It is MUCH easier to find dirt rims(400S/E model) for a 400SM than finding Supermoto wheels for a 400S/E...

Have you asked him? I thought he made the triumph fronts for some of the guys with triumph faired SV650s but I could be wrong.

Squidskins is local and makes his own stuff.

I don't see how the cement wall is a better option in this situation. You can't have a wall at GBM because they run the track both directions. CSBK had team team signal people there as well, they were closer to the dogleg and further off the track. No trailer. Not my show. I just race there...

The British Superbike season end montages are always really good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ969zo9O04

There is no one reason, but many things that have compounded each other. Times change and the sport hasn't evolved to follow suit.

The paved runoff is only really a good thing if you casually run wide onto it. If you actually have a crash, or a mechanical it does nothing to slow you down and you are going to get to the wall in a hurry. It's a different style of riding. There is no doubt that the bikes of today are...

I would say the market for them has certainly shrunk down. The amount of different options compared to 10 or 15 years ago is vast. Supersports are really only good for spirited street riding, or taking to the track. The majority of the rest of the world doesn't ride them. High insurance has...

It came off the roof. They cleaned most of the car and left the roof because its high and they were lazy. The wind and heat from inside melted the rest. The snow on the roof slid down when they hit the brakes as the heat from the roof was melting it from the bottom up. Seen it a hundred times...

Normal for races. Timing/scoring, flagger, and team people signalling. The line through the dogleg pushes you to the right so it's pretty hard to crash to the left, but everything is possible I suppose. I've only seen one person manage it in 5 years. Same thing at Shannonville. The start finish...

Scariest moment I've ever had racing. I thought he was a dead man. Luckily he kinda spun and sat up, but I still managed to clip his helmet(left rubber on it) with the front tire and run over his hand. It wasn't great, but it could have been much worse. We laugh about it now.

Do it. It's a lot of fun. It's hard, but rewarding.

I only did 4 sprint weekends last season. Somehow still managed 4th in Pro 600 lol Not planning on much other than endurance this year, but I say that every year.

Tempting. Probably be a **** show without studs though.

Rebuilt my spare motor and swapped it in on the weekend. Fired up no problem. Everyone get's lucky once in a while I guess.

You can have a good street bike, and a good dirt bike, but you wont find both in one bike. If you try you will get a bike that is mediocre at both. DR-Z400 is a good example. I had one (DR-Z400SM) that I used for street, track, and trails(21/19 dirt rims). It did everything but it really isn't...

If it has a clean title that is a stupid good price.

Do I have to admit it? because I don't really see it as very suspicious at all. If the whole team was in on it then they did a bad job of telling the rest of the riders who all crashed or got lost. Benavides couldn't even indirectly help Brabec as he was usually starting behind him on the road...

Well so much for Brabec. Shame. He hadn't made any mistakes the whole rally. Price is putting in a hell of a ride with that wrist.
