Quote from: "NKL"450cc max, not interested

Wow! Folks this is our first displacement snob. WTF? These 450cc bikes probably make more power than your 885/955/1050. :roll:

Anyways, can anyone tell me why Robby Gordon is in a 2WD POS Hummer? Seems like a really stupid move to me. All the power in the world isn't going to help you out of that mud puddle, dude. :roll:

I'm a big Robbie fan, he works so hard at what he does. He drives all day then works half the night with the team on the car, unlike many of the top prima donnas. And that Hummer is a real Tonka toy - makes the other cars look effeminate. Ok, so they can thrash his ass, but the Hummer sure is fun to watch :D

No nothing like, and what they do produce isn't for very long.

The Argentinian on the KTM 150 (yes, 150cc!!!) is doing ok. He says his lighter bike can pick it's way through places where the big guys can't go. Good on him!! :)

Interesting start to yesterday's race. It was a gate start rather than sending off one at a time. They were starting them in waves of 20 riders 10 mins apart. The first group went off, the leader made a navigation mistake and the others followed for about 20k before turning back. They met the second 20 coming the other way and stopped for a chat about which was the right route when the third wave caught them up, hence those lucky enough to be in the third wave got 20 mins on the leaders for free!!
