The weather encouraged 25,000 fans to watch the opening event of the15 round FIM World Championship.

Hi, i have just bought a Suzuki RM50T 1980 twin shock mx bike to do up as a winter project . The bike in general is in outstanding condition for its year, but needs a seat cover. is anyone aware of where i can get such an item, i would be willing to buy a complete seat if one came up. cheers

just got a yz125 for playing on. when you ran it up on the spot it would bog a little like it needs cleaning out. so i cleaned the carb airbox new airfilter etc and went out 4 a little play. it was still doing the same thing sometimes it would run real clean for a little bit then bog up again. i slowed down to stop and it really did bog up then and just died and had to push it all the way back i think its fouled the plug but what would be the reason for this. im using motul fully synth 40:1 any ideas??? Cheers james

my mate has a starting problem with his 2005 crf250. its very hard to get going hot or cold and seems to take alot of kicks to get it goin sometimes it just floods and you have to leave it for 10 mins or tilt the bike over. what could the probelem be ??float height maybe??

Just received news that yesterday, American motocross hero Marty Moates apparently commited suicide. No details are known at this time. He was a USGP winner on a LOP Yamaha, and in the seventies was a contender in select european races on OSSA GP III machines. What a shame. I guess now Jimmy Pomeroy will have someone to practice with.

CAS Honda rider Josh Coppins has finished on the podium at the last two South African rounds at Sun City and won the event twelve months ago. For the 2006 edition the New Zealander picked up his third trophy and third set of silverware this season since making his comeback to the 2006 Motocross World Championship. With two second positions from the two motos today the 29 year old finalised the runner-up spot overall behind Stefan Everts and in front of Steve Ramon at the tenth round of fifteen in the FIM series. The Sun City circuit was again immaculate in its organisation. The resort, some 180km from Johannesburg and 1500meters above sea level, played hos…

Second consecutive podium for Coppins CAS Honda rider Josh Coppins gained third overall and his second podium result in two weeks today at a bright and busy Uddevalla circuit for the Grand Prix of Sweden, the ninth round of fifteen in the 2006 FIM MX1 World Championship. After a well-deserved break following three consecutive races the Grand Prix paddock reconvened in the pleasant and well-organised surroundings of the Uddevalla circuit less than a 100km north of Gothenburg. The track layout had been significantly altered compared to previous years and boasted more technical sections and jumps as well as being run in reverse. Uddevalla has been a consistent and reliabl…

Any Michigan folks going to the Red Bud National in Buchanan this weekend?

CAS Honda rider Josh Coppins produced a startling return to World Championship action today at a warm and atmospheric Matterley Basin for the British Grand Prix. The eighth round of the season initiated the second half of the 2006 campaign and a rousing 39,000 crowd cheered Stefan Everts, Kevin Strijbos and Coppins to the podium. The Matterley Basin circuit was long, elongated and dry as the usually unreliable English weather had in fact been cooking the terrain for the past two weeks and planning restrictions meant that the track had to be hastily constructed in seven days. The layout divided opinion inside the paddock with some commenting negatively on …

So Langston pulled off another west coast championship. When will he move up to the big boys? But the real story is the national championship. Carmichael & Reed even and Stewart 5 points back and only one race left. Gonna be a good one.
