MotoAmerica | 2024 | Silly Season

And bumming no filts and smoking while he did the porting.

 

Pops always struck me as the kind of guy who just wanted to make stuff go fast.

Hell if they did a touring class, I'd watch it. They'd have to make the tank bags and gigantic windscreens mandatory though.

 

Do velcro in place Nelson Rigg soft bags strapped to each side of my R1 constitute it a "bagger"???

 

Think Rocco will pull double duty?

 

I hope so, but feel like he would've hinted at it if it was coming.

 

I am also hearing rumors of "The Power of Dreams" coming back to the paddock.

 

I didn’t know him all that well but got to interact and talk (more like listen and watch) with him more than a few times. Learned early on, even if I didn’t smoke to bring a pack or two of camels with me.

Watching him cleaned parts in gasoline while smoking was an experience that’s burned into my head. I think they eventually got him to switch to
Parts cleaner liquid. Don’t think they ever got him to stop smoking while doing it.

 

Honda has doubled their contingency money in the programs.

 

Gotta love the old school dudes.

 

time for Geoff May to come out of retirement and cleeeeeeeeeeeeeeean up

 

I forgot where, or how accurate it is, but someone was saying Disrupt on Honda

 

Someone in the GSX8R Thread said Rocco was going to ride a Vance & Hines GSX8R in Twins Cup. Pure Speculation, but would be pretty dope if so.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but the last time a Honda was on the grid beside May in STK1000 was RR Factory Correct?

 

Didn't Ashton Yates ride one a few years back in STK1000

 

Yates as well before he moved to SBK.

 

Yeah Ashton was riding one before the Scheibe ride.
I forgot his name now, but someone also ran a RRR in stock 1000 but switched to a M1000RR.

 

+1... kid did pretty well last time he was on a suzuki

 

Guess we have confirmation there is no SSP program for warhorse next season

 

Would make sense as V&H's drag bike is a Suzuki.

 

BOMSHELL..... Irwin will be racing in........................ RST leathers for 2024 .....
