Ordered Motoz Tractionator GPS front tire. $129 shipped

 

Have any of you guys watched the Prime series on Marc Marquez? I'm 3 or 4 in.....and it's been great. Admittedly, I'm a huge Rossi fan and didn't like MM.....but after the first few episodes.......I respect him and am kinda a fan now.

 

Nope, didn’t know it was a show. Kid is just crazy on a bike!

 

tons of great videos on youtube of both him and his brother
the older footage of them as young boys is pretty amazing also

 

@cynicalrider think you could do Cliffhanger on your bike?

Speaking of Marc, here he is on an AT!

Give my my WR450 and id have a blast out there... on an ADV bike HELL NO. (though the most humbling experience ever was riding in the eastern sierras through rock gardens etc on my wr450 and being outpaced big time by a dude on a KTM 1190)

My thoughts exactly at 13:55 in the video.... Im a good rider but i couldnt make that look that smooth on even my wr450 lol.

 

I followed more when Rossi was at it with Biaggi I kinda stopped following before Hayden ever won.

 

I didn't know about the record at Rossi's ranch

Looked at my records when I got home and I have over 10K miles on my tractionator gps front tire. I have a trailmax mission sitting in my garage waiting to go on though. Which is good, because when I was airing back up after last weekend's gravel stuff there were a bunch of cracks all over the sidewalls. After 4 years it's pretty roached.

 

I wanted this to be available in the US now.. would have gotten it

Definitely will be more than $120

 

@fatfurious2

Screw the gold wheels

 

How do I know if bike is telling me to change air filters? I have 7612 miles and my idle is kind of jumpy..

 

I looked at blue wheels/blue hubs/black spokes

but 2k for wheels is too much for me

 

Imagine the second ones with black hubs

 

I would buy that in a heartbeat. The REPSOL livery has always been a favorite of mine.

 

Mine too. It got me looking for CRF300 Rally ones

They have Grom ones too

 

When my CBR600F4i had a boucning idle, it turned out to be bad spark plugs Apparently, running on a weak/almost dead battery caused the plugs to fail. I replaced all 4 and it ran as good as new.

Still a good idea to make sure your air filter is clean, tho. Just to rule it out as the cause.
