I am going to buy a box of Altoids then.

1,300 dirt bikes is hardly a huge market. You can still make and sell some things, but without a continuing production this market will slowly drop to zero as other electric bikes start popping up.

Chrysler has been where Alta is right now at least three times already. Where is Obama when you need him?

Viper owners have bought some factory manufacturing equipment when the Viper production stopped. They decided to do that even though FCA was (apparenly) requires to supply spare parts. Perhaps FCA just decided to outsource that responsibility.

If they tell us the manufacturer of the current batteries, or make the firmware code available, buying replacement batteries will not be a problem. Chain sliders and delta wings. All else is easy to replace. Just do not crack the aluminum castings too much.

Go buy it now. It will give Alta some cash and they will not have an expense of transporting it back.

Damn! They did ban the 4-strokes! Weird, but cool as hell!

DAMN.

"This year, Red Bull Straight Rhythm promoters made a big change to exclude all four-stroke engines, leaving only 2-strokes and electric motorcycles to compete." What ??? o_O They mean excluded 4-stroked from the 2-stroke class, right? Else there will be only like ~10 bikes there, LOL.

Found it, finally. Bought them at MotoSport.com Motosport Clamping Wheel Chock | MotoSport I first bought two from MotoSport, but then bought the third one somewhere else. The third wheelchock was crap. Thinner metal, rivets instead of bolts, and crooked welds. Do not buy them anywhere else...

The app store is 10-15 years ahead of where Alta is right now. Alta needs to invent the iPhone first and then the app store. Then maybe someone (probably not Alta) will write a traction control software that works everywhere. Else, it would probably take 10 years to write a traction control...

I know what could help us get more racers. Your dealer needs to sell more Altas!

Did they come off of your totaled 1290 Adventure R? I just looked up your destroyed bike's photo and the footpeg is missing. Pegs this big work very well on big and wide adventure bikes. They help you muscle these fat pigs around, giving you more leverage. On a narrow and light-feeling Alta I...

Look at this as an opportunity to step up to at least a B-rider's level!

You wouldn't be able to do burnouts on the SM, or prevent endoing on a jump on the MX, if the wheelspin was limited to just 15% over the bike's speed. I do like the traction in Map 1 when climbing the uphills. We do want more maps though. You can't holeshot in Map 1, or climb steep and fast...

I like it! Looks very clean and sharp!

Mike, could you please educate us what makes Ohlins shocks and forks magic, or better than a properly valved KYB/Showa/WP? FYI, I have an Ohlins suspension of my car. It works well, but I do not know if I would call it magic. What makes you call it that?

Fog, what fork pressure do you run?

For my 200 lbs weight I like the stock 60N spring for ride and handling. But I will be trying the 63N spring if I want more confidence when jumping, I have one left over from my MX. There are MX owners here who have 63N springs lying around, so you can save a few bucks by buying a used stock...

:eek: I'd recommend trying the 63N/mm (6.4kg/mm) first. You are a little heavier than Fog but probably not faster, are you?
