According to Britain's Moto: “News has filtered through that the wonderful Belgium government will fund the 2012 Motocross of Nations which is going to be held at the deep sand circuit of Lommel. Sources close to the event are suggesting they will finance the event to the tune of 250,000 euros (about $325,000), amazing news for Lommel and great news for Youthstream. With that amount of finance on offer the government are requesting to be involved with communication and PR of the race which is set for September 30th 2012."

A couple was Christmas shopping at the mall on Christmas Eve and the mall was packed. Walking through the mall the surprised wife look up and noticed herhusband was no where around and she was very upset because they had a lot to do. She used her cell phone to call her husband because she was so upset, to ask him where he was. The husband in a calm voice said, honey remember the jewelry store we went into5 years ago where you fell in love with that diamond necklace that wecould not afford and I told you that I would get it for you one day. His wife said crying, yes I remember that jewelry store. He said, well I'm in the bar next to it Braaaaaap!

Eric Gorr RM300 vs a PIG -
September 27, 2011
an Average Joes take:
The purpose is to give an objective opinion about the two from a “average Joe’s” perspective. I mentioned in a thread over the winter that I was doing the big bore 2 stroke thing and I got a lot of messages asking for a report. So I figured I would write this up to try and be helpful.
A little bit about me, I’m a 36 year old vet B/C weekend MX racer. The 2 stroke is a 2006 RM250 that I picked up in July of last summer for $2500. It was box stock and had about 10 hours on. It was in excellent condition. I was coming off a 6 year absence from riding and I just wanted to get something cheap in case I decided that I made the right choice 6 years earlier by giving up (previous bike was a 2003 CRF450). I went to my first local race that weekend and I was hooked all over again. After the season I ordered a 2011 RMZ450 but after about a month my dealer told me that they couldn’t get one. Since I had my heart set on the RMZ, I figured I would wait and just do some work to my 250 and ride it one more year. Here are the mods: -FMF Factory Fatty and shorty silencer -Eric Gorr 300cc kit with porting and head work - $600 -Factory Connection revalve and respring
Eric does amazing work. The cylinder was rebored and plated and it looked perfect when I got it back. He had to modify the exhaust valve and reed cage for clearance. With the kit comes your choice of porting. The choices are bottom to mid, mid to top or a broader smoother power all the way from top to bottom. You also get your choice of head mods. Since I ran race fuel anyway, I chose to go with the high compression head and the broader more smooth power band.
The RMZ450 is a 2011 that I picked up in December of last year but I didn’t ride it until about six weeks ago. I had already done the work to my 250 because I was not expecting the bike to show up but out of the blue one arrived at my dealer so I grabbed it. Here are the mods: - Rekluse Core EXP 2.0 -Yoshimura RD4 Full Ti exhaust -Factory Connection revalve and respring
I’ve got 7.4 hours on the 450 so far and the first thing I can tell you is thing just pulls and pulls and pulls. The pull is probably exaggerated by the traction. The back wheel feels glued to the track. Because of that it has roll on power everywhere. When cornering conventionally while using the clutch (which you can still do with the rekluse) it turns like it’s on rails. Since installing the rekluse I noticed that it pushes the front end a little bit more when you get lazy and just rely on the rekluse. I assume this is because the front end gets abruptly unloaded and light as opposed to gradually fed power with the clutch. I’m also running the stock tires so that might have something to do with it. In spite of this, the rekluse is the best mod you can do. The bike WILL NOT stall. I was having a problem stalling it at first because the clutch would not totally disengage. I was told that in order to have a real smooth and easy clutch pull they lengthened the pivot arm on the clutch. I’m not sure if this is true but if it is then in doing so they made it difficult to ride because the bike will stall if the clutch isn’t all the way to the bars. Rather than deal with it I just installed the rekluse and it is awesome.
The RM300 is everything Eric Gorr said it would be. He told me I would ride a gear higher because the motor can pull it now. He told me that the horsepower would be well into the mid 50’s but it would feel weaker because the violent punch would be gone. He also said that because of the porting it would make peak hp a few hundred rpm above stock and pull smooth all the way there. He was 100% correct on everything he said. On tight bowl turns I would just come in, in 3rd gear, turn the front wheel down the bowl, feed it a tad bit of clutch and the motor would sing for as long as you wanted to hold it open. It doesn’t have the 450 roll on power but it’s probably as close as you will get out of a modern 2 stroke. As far as handling, it was not affected at all by the mods. The thing turns ridiculously and it sticks in the rutted turns better than any bike I’ve ever ridden.
Conclusion: The 450 is an awesome bike and it handles and turns as good as any 4 stroke I have ridden. It has power everywhere and is a blast to ride BUT, the 2 stroke with the big bore has more than enough power to keep up at the level I ride at, it handles better and is about 30 pounds lighter. So far, I would have to say the 2 stroke is more fun. I timed a few laps on each at my local track and I’m faster on the 2 stroke after the mods. More power on a 2 stroke usually means more out of control or harder to ride. That’s not the case with the big bore. It’s is noticeably more power than stock but the power is dispersed so evenly and in places where I can use it more effectively that the bike is actually easier for me to ride. I only have about 7 hours on the 450 so I might get better on it with time and change my mind but for now, the 2 stroke is my favorite of the 2.

Roger Says: -
August 28, 2011
MXA: DO YOU THINK THAT 250 TWO-STROKES SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RACE AGAINST 250 FOUR-STROKES?
Roger Decoster: Yes. I think it would be fine. The two-stroke makes more horsepower, but it makes it over a narrower range, while the four-stroke makes less power, but has a broad powerband. I think they are equal machines. The two-stroke would be better in sand and deep loam, while the four-stroke would be better on harder dirt. It takes a more talented rider to race the two-stroke and I can see where it would be difficult for most of the current 250 four-stroke riders to make the change. I'd wouldn't oppose a rule change.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) – A Wausau man has been charged with attacking a man Wednesday night in Weston whom he suspected was having an affair with his wife.
A judge released Tim Kislow on a $15,000 signature bond and ordered him not to have any contact with the victim, Mark Pierzchalski. A preliminary hearing on September 9th will determine whether Kislow will stand trial on a substantial battery charge. Kislow is also charged with disorderly conduct.
According to police reports, Kislow confronted Pierzchalski inside his mother-in-law's trailer in Weston just after 8 p.m. Wednesday. Pierzchalski had told Kislow the day before that he was sleeping with his wife. The two fought and Kislow hit Pierzchalski in the face with a Leatherman multi-tool item. Eyewitnesses saw the knife blade was not exposed. Pierzchalski suffered a one-inch cut on the left side of his head.
Kislow ran away and police found him a short time later in a wooded area nearby.
Police have referred Pierzchalski to prosecutors on a battery charge for punching Kislow twice in the face.
Did you hear the one about me being a punk? Did you hear the one about me being a drunk? Did you hear the one about me losing my nerve? Or how I'm just another fucking sheep in the herd? Did you hear about the money, how it made me change? So funny to me, all the time that they waste. Did you hear the one about me giving a shit? Cause if I ever did I don't remember it.
You can be me and I will be you. You can live just like a star. I'll take my sanity, you take the fame. I'm under and over it all. (I'm under and over it.)
Did you hear the one about me playing the game? Selling my soul and changing my name. Did you hear the one about me being a prick? Did you know I don't care? You can suck my... Did you hear the one about me trying to die? Fist in the air and a finger to the sky. Do I care if you hate me? Do you wanna know the truth? C'est la vie....adiós....good riddance....fuck you!
You can be me and I will be you. You can live just like a star. I'll take my sanity, you take the fame. I'm under and over it all. (I'm under and over it.) I, I, I'm under and over it. I, I, I'm under and over it.

July 23, 2011
At the riders meeting in Washougal, Justin Brayton was awarded the RC Hard Charger Award for passing the most people in a moto at Millville -- 22 riders, two more than Reed after his big crash. As he stepped up to receive the award, Brayton took the microphone and said that while he appreciated the award, he thought Reed deserved it more and handed it over while the rest of the riders and crews applauded.
Not only is that amazing sportsmanship, it's a pretty damn cool thing for one rider to do for a competitor.
Yesterday in Wittenberg around 3:30 in the afternoon us MotoMorons were busting laps in the 100° Heat with 90% Humidity range and the thing worked perfect.
I was actually cold before I started my laps.

The sun was just cresting the hill as I snuck out of the house. Being ever so quiet as to not wake anyone, I slowly crept out to where I had left my fully bmxed out huffy the night before. I had 20 miles of riding to see the new YZ's. After what seemed like hours(it probably was) I arrived. Only to wish I had a concept of what store hours were. I stood on the step trying to peer into the dark recessess of the shop where I imagined they would line up the fresh steeds waiting for 9:00am to arrive. Once allowed inside the better part of the day was spent just admiring every aspect of the new line. Knowing I had a long ride ahead of me I began the long journey home. The entire way I was making motorcycle sounds and riding in and out of every ditch trying to keep Hannah and Decoster behind me. Flash forward 30 some years and there I was standing at the dealership admiring the new yamaha 450 engine design(1st time I have seen it in person) and losing track of about two hours out of my day. Driving home I'll be darned if I didn't look at an odd shaped landscape and before I could stop myself the mouth went BBBBRRRRAAAAAPPPPPP hand following with the way the obstacle should be jumped, of course I mentally hucked it on the first try. Deja vu all over again.

CMJ Raceway has a new big change to its riding membership program this year. The track is now being groomed regularly using a bulldozer as opposed to just a tractor and farm equipment. See HERE for complete details and application forms.
Portage Supercross: Besides being changed to a 2 night event, the A class purse has been bumped to 200% each night! The Quad Class (100%) and Pitbike Class (80%) have also been converted to pay back classes.
