a lot of time up over 80mph and a few spikes up near 100mph very nice there mr covered in exhaustion...

what a crazy muffler then on that 2 stroke bike...huge inlet and a long inlet pipe, and a very fat canister and the 4 stroke style tip...very wierd... BTW did anyone see that new kid win the 125 championship...17 yrs old and 5'3" and 114 lbs....that is my daughters age and size and she is tiny.....Marc Marquez

It's actually 124 miles but Morelia is almost as far from the TX border as Cabo is from CA. I haven't been able to find much detail about what happened in the police skirmish that caused FIM to cancel Day 6. Although it makes sense when there is a major international event taking place in very hard to secure areas and there is a cartel on the loose looking to make a statement. The Paris-Dakar race was cancelled for that very reason and may never be held in Africa again. will this start an "Is all of Africa dangerous?" debate. you could not pay me to go the Demcratic Republic of Congo in Africa, but i would go to Johanasberg South Africa....apples and oranges again...africa is a continent not a country with MANY different governments and militarys...Mexico is a country with one Government and military and only one part of a continent.... Just as a wierd twist here....They stopped the last round of the FIM races in Mexico but they still raced the Formula 1 Race in Brazil even tho there were gunpoint robberies of the red bull teams briefcases and an attempted robbery and murder of Jensen Button with machine gun fire on his "fortunately" armored limo....yet they still raced there in Brazil which right now is having very much turmoil....yet the same international race group cancelled some race event in Mexico full of guys that are exponentially less paid and less known that formula 1 drivers which is one of, if not, the highest paid sports athletes in the world?????? curious

I have a question. Possibly Robertacio or other fans can help me figure out. I know in MotoGP they are 800cc 4 stroke bikes with no Super/Turbo charging, and 6 speed trans. I also know that MotoGP2 is 600cc 4 strokes w/no chargers and 6 speed...and currently the motors are all supplied by honda. My question comes in on the 125s. On the official website it states 80cc to 125cc....but it doesnt say a spec on whether they can use 2 OR 4 stroke bikes. I assume most would use 2 stroke if they have the option. I forget the name of the rider, but in the last round of the series a rider lost his exhaust muffler system and to me...remember i am a tard, the exhaust looked like a 4 stroke exhaust....the pipe was at least 1.5-2 inch in diameter and the canister was long and kinda fat, like 3-4 inches in diameter and it had a nipple on the end like many 4 stroke exhaust have. if you had not seen it come off of the bike and i showed it to you and told you it was off of a '04 YZ450f or something you would probably believe it. 2 stroke exhaust mufflers usually are fairly short, 2-3 inches in diameter with an inlet of only 1 inch or so and a cone type end.... SO, are there some 4 stroke bikes in the 125cc class in MotoGP? and if so, are they allowed a cc offset like the early days of 4 strokes in ama sx and mx....125cc class racing with 250f's..?

I was born in Inglewood, and grew up on Vermont ave and the 91 freeway in the heart of South Central LA...In Gardena by some maps but actually an LA strip address backed up to the Harbor an 91 freeways...very rough neighborhood surrounded all around by a number of gangs....Piru Bloods on 1 side, Hoover Crips on the other and G13 on yet another....so I get the keep your nose clean, MYOB, dont make trouble ideas....but sometimes it just finds you.... My wife is from South America, Chile, and was there under the Pinochet era...very bad. Then they moved to central LA and finally settled in Carson....again very rough neighborhood....we truly understand dangerous living environments.... I choose to live out here, and not near my parents house....

Someone said that 2Wheels bike wasnt running right as well...wouldnt idle and was sputtering? likely just bad fuel ro dirt in the induction system....but... What were the 3 bikes? A 525, A drz400 and what else?

so the police caught a bad guy and are hightening security awaiting backlash.... That never happens in San Diego.. LOL I have had many more bad experiences with people in the US than in Mexico, then again I am not buying into the media that most people seem to follow like cattle. FYI 200km = 122 miles. Should I be terrified everytime a gang banger gets shot in L.A.? If so I better never leave my house. You should AT LEAST be concerned about that gang banger shooting in LA if you ride your motorcycle to and thru that gang bangers neighborhood.....which when we are talking about mexico...you do! I know i speak for only myself....i hope and wish that everyone who enjoys riding im Baja or other areas in mexico NEVER even see a problem....but IF any of you think that by minding your own business, and "staying away from the dangerous areas" as has been suggested will keep you safe for sure you ARE seriously fooling yourselves....HOPEFULLY you will be fine....but there are high probabilities that the BAD guys are moving around to stay ahead of the cops...how do you know that they are NOT on the trail you are riding and they dont just want to piss off the cops and America....High possibilities. The comparisons of the Gangs in LA is different IMHO...The gangs in LA are fighting neighboring gangs...that is it...but the drug cartels in Mexico are fighting the Policia, and the Mexican Military and the American Border Patrol, ICE, DEA, ATF and anyone else who will stand up to them so that they can continue suppling the much smaller fish of the LA gangs drug dealers.... Keep on riding there, Please be safe, BUT please know that there IS "ADDED" RISK TO RIDING IN Mexico...BTW as i have stated at least twice before...I know that the criminals are BY FAR the minority in Mexico and that 99.99999999999999999999999% of the Mexican people are great like the family that helped you...unfortunatly....the .0000000000001% are making such a strong pressence and statement....and it is centered in YOUR favorite riding area...BAJA... Seriously...BEST wishes..be safe

So what brands of bikes was it that failed, and what brand made it no problem? I'm Just sayin...

Bill i am up for a pavement only ride for right now....weekdays work better for me right now...i love back roads and am not afraid of really small ones like S Main Divide between Ortega Hwy and De Luz and all of the De Luz back roads....Valley center...just cant do dirt/gravel roads unless they are short distances and NO mud

not a problem Rob, it was all the truth, he looked great. And the stalling gets better with practice, just keep riding. I have 40 years of riding desert and racing MX and dez...i KNOW what good riding style looks like....NOT that i can DO it...but i know what it looks like....

nice ride Cory...9 laps is alot of riding around that track....bet you were tired...any blisters? When i did the Hamel 100 in the late 90's i thought i was gonna die by the end...but it was rewarding to finish...Congrats Cory

Awesome shots...well except for those 2 of that ugly guy... beautiful up there especially with those clouds laying like a pillow in the valley... It woould make for some sweet riding wouldnt it?

nice
