    Philip goes racing in the woods -- pulls a Roczen, then DNFs

    LOL! That would have been really bad. No, that wasn't it. More recently Roczen became known as someone getting a good start, fighting for the lead, and then fading back into the mid-pack, explaining it with some undisclosed but persistent ailment.

    Philip goes racing in the woods -- pulls a Roczen, then DNFs

    The decreased 18mm steering stem offset worked great! The two times that I crashed I was on the bike that still had the original 22mm offset. I tucked the front end both times.

    Philip goes racing in the woods -- pulls a Roczen, then DNFs

    I have had the same thing happen to me three years ago at the gym when I was learning to do deadlifts. I had the heart rate at 222 bpm for about 90 seconds. This is what Google says: "When to Worry: Some individuals experience a condition known as atrial tachycardia, a type of tachycardia that...

    Philip goes racing in the woods -- pulls a Roczen, then DNFs

    I haven't raced since March of last year. I am blaming the bike setup, the weather, the race tracks, the schedules, etc, etc. And I also wasn't feeling very well. But after Team Alta Owners Forum.com raced in the Northeast 24-hour Challenge, I really wanted to go racing again! The funny part is...

    Anyone Want To Trade MXR Seat For EX

    The unloaded height is the same, but the EX/EXR seat is softer and is filled with memory foam. Nicer to sit on for longer rides.

    Silence electric scooter

    Take 2-3 batteries with you to a race track and you can ride all day long! Also power your coffee maker from it, haha! Electric scooter with the best battery - Silence S01

    Silence electric scooter

    I like it how the battery is almost as large as the Alta's, and you can roll it and take it with you to work or to a coffee shop to plug in and charge! No EV charging station necessary!

    2018 MXR Suspension

    You can buy a stock MX 63 N/mm spring from someone here who has changed their spring rates. @OneLapper probably has one laying around.

    2018 MXR Suspension

    I have a few random comments. When you reduce the compression damping you also need to reduce the rebound damping. Else the suspension will be compressing more over bumps but will not have enough time to rebound over successive bumps and will feel harsh. Beware of reducing the compression...

    Curtiss Psyche

    Wow! What a way to start my morning! This thing certainly does excite the imagination in a way that Harley does not.

    Can you adjust the steering head angle and offset

    Have rotated steering stems on two of my three bikes and both required a hydraulic press to be pushed out, which I think is normal. The oval and conical taper fit is mesmerizing. I keep thinking about how to spec the manufacturing tolerances on such a design. It's also very hard to measure...

    Can you adjust the steering head angle and offset

    I am now trying to remove my steering stem from the lower triple clamp, and I can't figure out how it is held there, and where to press to push it out. Should I put the two bolts back in and press on them??

    How to get into racing

    If I were to start racing now, I would start with motocross practice days. Just come to the track, pay the practice fee, and go chase others with a similar skill and try not to get run over or landed on in a no-race (low-pressure) environment. Just hold your line, stay to one side on jumps, and...
