Ty Tremaine and Lyndon Poskitt to race in the Erzberg Rodeo

[MotoMinded]

Front Shark Fin (Disk Protector)! Gotta have it. Any idea who makes it?

Front, Yes, Bullet Proof. I carry the black one in stock. I will have silver in next week. Just added it to my website. $119

Rear, I assume Lyndon is running the same brand.

Incredible. Both Altas were stolen on the way to Erzberg. Nooooooooo

Unbelievable! I feel for him after all the hard work! Super sad....hopefully they get it all back asap!

Aw man ain’t that some s***!! Please please God I hope those bikes get found, ya really look forward to something that a great guy has his heart, time and money invested in, and some theiving jackholes take it all.

OMG! This is horrible. Were those both Lyndon's bikes, or one his and one TT's?

That's amazing how anyone could do such a heist without a meticulous prior planning. Stealing both bikes, generators and gear in under 20 minutes. Who the hell will be able to ride them in the UK unnoticed anyway? I would not be surprised if these Altas are being disassembled and tested somewhere in a KTM lab.

Do we need to start a Go Fund me account , so these guys can ride ? Any one know how to set this sort of thing up .

Unreal. To say Altas racing efforts have been followed by a black cloud would be an understatement. Good luck (sarcasm) to the thieves trying to sell those bikes. Gonna be real hard not to get noticed.

That’s a great suggestion. The problem over anything else at this point is time I believe.

Friday is the first race, so they have to have the bikes in Erzberg and race ready by Thursday night at the latest.

I am just hoping that those two bikes were both Lyndon's and Ty has a spare. Else, no amount of money would get Alta into this race. The worst timing possible.

Their shit got stolen

Yup, both Lyndon's. Ty still has his two bikes. Posted similar in the other thread, but we're still trying to make it happen for Lyndon. I guess the good news is that there was no black magic in either bike - standard R drivetrain. Bad news is that there are only a handful of Rs that have made it to Europe, and not enough time to send him fresh ones. Stay tuned... if it all comes together he'll still be at the prologue, maybe on cobbled together kit. But if anyone can roll with it, it's Lyndon. His instagram is probably the best place to get updates: https://www.instagram.com/lyndonposkitt/

Amazing! Go Alta!!! Go Lyndon!

Well at least these made it. Better post 24 hour security around them.

Only 18 hours is left until the first race!

 

[snydes]

So after watching a few of Lyndon’s videos it sounds like the strategy is a battery change for the main event. Lyndon will be riding Ty’s spare bike for the prologue but unless they come up with two more R batteries only one will be racing the main event, which will be Ty providing they both qualified.

 

[Philip]

Down anyone else besides Lyndon cover Erzberg?

There is some kind of RedBull TV on Sunday at noon, but I do not know how it works. Do you have to download and app and also pay? Or watch for free on a computer?

 

[snydes]

It’s a free app, I use it on our Apple TV. I assume you can watch from a PC as well.
