MotoGP from Motegi

Well first you get yourself some paper towels or something absorbent, then you find yourself a pleasant smelling lubricant of some sort...then you collect yourself some fine porn.... the rest is up to you...I would have thought you guys would know this stuff by now.

Speaking of dirt riding..... they are bringing my new tractor on Fri or Mon.
1993 New Holland 1715 with bucket and backhoe.

Aaron,
Whatcha gonna base it on? I have an XR75 frame and engine.

Was kinda saving the XR engine for the next SV50cc bike....could be a killer for that class.
JohnnyB

I could build a screaming banshee 175 twin motard bike. Gear it way down, stock cam, tire smoking accleration out of the corners.....or not.
JohnnyB

That would be very cool. Motard in the 50's.

But..you'd have to race it in SuperVintage 50's. Modern 50 class doesn't allow a displacement handicap for 4 strokes.

SuperVintage does allow disk brake, but no mono shock.

I'm pretty sure Hiroshi is running a 75cc kit in his Dream50R in modern though. From what I've seen it's kinda anything goes in Modern class.

I think Mary would do well in SuperVintage with the extra HP or two, and the five speed of an XR engine.
JohnnyB

Damn... I gotta get a new rule book.

Very cool, basically LRRS 75cc racing!

I have no doubt an XR75 engine could be built that would push a light rider 75mph. Although that would be a road race style, fairing and all. Mary manages about 70mph out of her bike.

You could easily spend a few thousand on an XR Motard...tons of very cool, very pricey stuff for them.

Frank, the yellow machine you have is a Cub Cadet, if it's an older one from the 70's it's a very very good machine. I have a 1976 1450 Hydro Cub, weighs easily a 1000 lbs, has a rear axle bigger than my truck. Big Kohler single cylinder engine.

There's a local guy with the exact fire truck you are talking about. A heavy duty four wheel drive pickup with the water tank, a reel full of hose. Looks to be a very heavy duty unit. Also probably get's 8 mpg.

What I want to know is when the USCRA is going to get a "HQ trailer". Picture this...an 8x12 enclosed trailer. In this trailer is all the paper work, a computer, t-shirts, trophies...all the crap needed by a race director and support staff. Either it sits at NHIS all the time, or gets towed to races by the race director. It parks in the same place at every race. Everyone knows where it is, and they go there to get the info, talk to the director etc etc.

It's late and I'm just throwing stuff out there.
JohnnyB

Let me know what model the Cub Cadet is....maybe I'll buy it off you.
JohnnyB

Aaron,
If it's got a backhoe they make shallow wide buckets that angle back and forth to clear ditches...would work well for a berm. You could do a berm with a normal front bucket but you have to drop fill and run over it as you go to angle the whole tractor.
