The bike with the number 51 on it is my '05 CRF250R; the bike with no numbers on it (now has the number/backgrounds on it) is my '07 CRF250R.        Let's see some more pics of arfcom riders/racers. |
I don't have any action photos of myself riding, but here's my '05 RM250:  I went back to 2-strokes after riding 4-strokes for 5 years. When i first rode my RM i was blown away by how much better it corners than a CRF450 or a YZF450. Also it's so much lighter. It feels like i'm riding a 125. Whenever i ride my buddy's '04 CRF450 i honestly can't wait to get back on my RM because the CRF feels like riding a cow. The only thing i miss about 4-strokes is the engine. You can be so much lazier on a 4-stroke, leave it a gear high and not worry about it. I have to clutch the RM a lot more and always be in the right gear. Sounds like 2-strokes won't be around much longer so i'm enjoying it while i can. |
The AMA is re-writing the rules to make two strokes more competitive. They're putting 250 four strokes and two strokes in the same class; from what I've heard. This will only apply to AMA races, like Loretta Lynn's and such. I've found that my lap times and race results are far better on a four stroke (my entire class is four strokes; even though 2 strokes are allowed). I still miss the ripping sound of a two stroke. I've ridden a friend's RM 250; it's a fun bike on a tight track. |
| I would post some pics of MX up, but CCE Arenacross apparently wont let spectators use "Profession cameras" unless they pay for a photographers pass that runs somewheres around $40. BTW they "claim" a "professional camera" is any camera that has a removable lens. Maybe they should POST that on the doors when you go in. Damn asshats at Clear Channel Entertainment. |

The Bubba scrub. Unbelievable. Looks like it should be impossible. Carmichael retired because he knew he wasn't gonna be able to beat Bubba anymore. And i think Bubba will do one of two things: Break all the records, or suffer a career ending injury because he has trouble keeping it on two wheels. |
Anaheim three, Carmicheal won is what I was told. Bubba's scrub defies what should be able to be done on a motorcycle. If he can stay on two wheels; Bubba will win. As far as the arenacross camera thing mentioned by a previous poster; I've heard of that. It's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard. Clear Channel isn't going to be good for this sport. |
