    A member here? Evergreen Fairgrounds, Monroe, WA.

    Spotted this pic on the Alta group of FB, wondering if its anyone on the forum? Probably from this past weekend 1/21-1/23 sometime. Cool pic. And I've spent a lot of time in this arena years ago, but it was packed with kids and their (crazy) horses, Lol.

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    So much hand wringing, pearl necklace clutching, and general skepticism about this bike. I don't get it. It will either be what they say it is, or not. We will know soon enough. In the meantime, the BIG news about this bike is the amazing response too it in the form of pre-orders. There is...

    Need Advice On a Alta Rapid Charger that Fan doesn't come on so it gets hot!

    If that's the case, try a very small amount of light lubricant like Marvel Mystery Oil or the like -if- you can drop it on the motor shaft. Position it so the lubricant will work its way in, spin the blade a bit to help it seep in. "Repaired" a number of old fans and window a/c units doing...

    Terrific - but will it be effective off-road ?

    Same. Love my Alta in the PacNW muddy, rooty, gnar. Map 1, easy on the throttle, low tire pressure, tractors right up almost everything. Also love on bigger climes, traction allowing, Map 3, nail it like a 250 2 st, and rail up hillsides. So versatile, so much fun.

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    Interesting MX Large interview with founder Anton Wass from Dec. 18, 2021: MX Large | Anton Wass interview - Stark Future "I don’t really want to comment about on how many orders we already have at the moment, but orders are already coming in fast, and the numbers are rising quickly. Right now...

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    The first Altas came out in 2016? I find it entirely believable that in every area of performance the Stark Varge in 2021 is an improvement over the Alta. I don’t know why that is so hard to believe, but apparently it is, Lol. But again, we will see. Meanwhile I’m enjoying the anticipation...

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    Josh Hill, top level pro mx/sx rider. Tortelli, world MX champion. They are both saying it handles as good as the current crop of 450 mx bikes and the weight is right there too. I don't know why you're so skeptical, do you really think Hill and Tortelli would risk their reputations by...

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    I think the handling improvements alone are going to be incredible. Josh Hill was talking about how well it handles and how its not front end heavy like the Alta. They modeled all of the modern MX bikes and built the bike close to those specs as opposed to the Alta which seems to have been built...

    Steve Matthes' podcast with Eric Peronnard

    With Josh Hill and Sebastian Tortelli putting their reputations on the line with it, I'd say its a pretty good bet is a step up in all areas of performance then our beloved Altas. And Peronnard too. Some big well respected names in on this, bodes well. Plus by the time most of our delivery...

    New ALTA Alternative -Stark VARG - From Europe

    I know, 80 hp, whaaat?! Gear that thing down and get on down to Bonneville. And your nearest hillclimb competition. I did hear in one of the vids that the purpose of the high hp motor is not necessarily to have crazy amounts of hp/torque, but rather to allow the motor to run in its most...

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    My thoughts exactly. With having Tortelli onboard, Hill, and a few of the other players involved, these guys are the real deal. If anyone besides one of the major OEM's can pull this off, its these guys. Time will tell though, 2022 is going to be interesting! Ps: Did I mangle the grammar on...

    Stark Varg side stand option

    What makes you think that?

    STARK VARG (Something new is coming!)

    Josh Hill mentions the factory guys can swap the battery out in "10-20 mins" around the 20:30 mark of this vid. Besides the expense of another battery pack with its spendy magnesium cover design, it doesn't sound like the battery pack is designed for an easy or quick swap. The rest of this...

    New ALTA Alternative -Stark VARG - From Europe

    It certainly would make sense that they would want to collect as much data as they can on everything they can, will help improve the product in the long term. And yes, the ability to sell the data (its randomized!) is a side benefit. Unfortunately, the data collection can come back to bite the...

    New ALTA Alternative -Stark VARG - From Europe

    That Swedish dude sure did have the Jobs vibe going, all turtle necky, hands bringing the ends of the fingers together (who talks like that? Lol), the accent. Sounds so high techie, so convincing. So brainwashy. And just a touch creepy. I do love the bike though, Lol.

    New ALTA Alternative -Stark VARG - From Europe

    That's all well and good, but it should be described up front that way. From the promo video it sounds like all of these killer features come standard on the bike. Perhaps I was not listening closely enough (which is annoying in itself that I have to listen like a lawyer to make sure I don't get...
