    Whymee's 2019 MXR Build

    I really did not want to. It was soft outside. I did not want to get my new bike dirty, or put any time on it in the event I end up selling, I could claim "never been rode". The bike was delivered at 100% charged. I know I needed to go into the winter at 60% charged. Sunday i pulled it out...

    Racer X Jan. 2019 issue. page 26 Reason for Being- Davey Croombs owns 2 Alta's He's a true believer!

    There is / was a big thread over on Vital about this very subject. You want some insight as to the thinking of "the powers to be" on the Alta's presence in AMA amateur competition, it is a good read. Although you have to wade through the bullshit that accompanies such threads. At the time...

    Whymee's 2019 MXR Build

    Yes I purchased my ride from a dealer in Florida. I left no stone unturned when searching for graphics for this Alta. Just couldn't find a kit that does the uniqueness of the Alta justice. I seen a pic of this kit somewhere, and tracked the company down. To my surprise they are located in...

    Whymee's 2019 MXR Build

    Well, the build has ground to a halt. I have done most of what I need to do to race it next year. Right now it is wintertime, so I didn't even get to ride it yet. To be truthful, Alta's bankruptcy (or whatever it is) has taken the wind out of my sails for now. I might get excited again next...

    Broken display - solution?

    I seen those when he posted it earlier. Those are just too far out there for my tastes.

    Broken display - solution?

    How about using a handlebar with a cross bar? Shouldn't the crossbar somewhat protect the display? I would think at least more so than the fatbar that comes stock. I do not know if it is out there, but adding a crossbar to the fatbars. Anything is better than nothing... * Disclaimer: I have...

    BAD NEWS

    Not at this time. Fork guards, front fender & front number plate can be had because they are used from other machines. The rest of the plastic is Alta specific and can only be had from Alta, and not available from Acerbis, at this time. If Alta goes belly up, we the Alta owners, assume the...

    MotoVlog 2 - Dubya World Vet Championships at Glen Helen

    Great video! What map were you in? Can you go into what fan/cooler setup you have there, please. Is it necessary for high ambient temps? I assume so. I was tilting my head back trying to see further down the track than the video was allowing! LOL Good stuff!

    I just placed the order for a complete rear subframe, 2 sets chain sliders, throttle assy and bolts for the rear fender. I have seen somewhere, an aftermarket chain guide.

    I asked my dealer that very question a few minutes ago. He said you have to buy the whole assembly. Pull rods & knuckle. 'Taint that a bitch... I forgot to ask about swingarm bearings...

    Free! Microfiche

    Whymee's 2019 MXR Build

    I have been dragging my feet with the Ohlins install on the Alta. Just kinda waiting to see what happens, yanno? Went ahead this weekend & took the plunge. Here are the results... I have had revalved suspension before. Several sets. Always wanted a set of "Top shelf" suspenders. I pray...

    I read a post by WoodsWeapon about using Tusk Foot peg Cleats to replace the so called cleats in the MXR rear brake tip pedal. Highly recommended!

    Whymee's 2019 MXR Build

    I struggled with my Ohlins purchase. The Angel on my left shoulder's advice was "wait until Alta makes a statement on its future before you throw good money after bad". The other voice bellowed out " Listen Mac, how many years of competitive motocross are left in you? You are no spring...

    I can understand the powers to be being tight lipped about what is going on. Cannot say I blame them. Once the deal is done, one way or the other, I am hopeful that we, as current owners, will be one of the first to know. If they did come on here & just give "us" an update, as a courtesy, It...
