I thought maybe I remembered the motor-cross part but so much talk about bikes lately I wasn't sure. Fixed the 2nd part for you

You made your millions being a pro back in the day? I find that odd seeing as motocross didn't start getting big commercially until I was a teenager(early 2000's), unless you mean you used your career/name in the industry to make a company/something and then made all your money ? I ask because you are definitely not Jeremy McGrath, RC, TP, or anyone else that is a household name seeing as you're before the time when MX was big.

Ever since I heard you mention you're an ex-pro and also your stories, I've been super intrigued on who you are(say you are)

Looking forward to the review! I've only eaten from there once so I'm hoping it wasn't a fluke. If you have a great experience it might be our new go-to for local Mediterranean food. It's like 15 min away from me.

It was worth the 30 min drive. Again, places in LA that will ruin this for you but it's authentic as all hell. Veggies are fresh and I mean fresh. The biggest indicator is, they aren't using cheap olive oil. Some amazing level olive oil and the hummus was bomb.

Chicken breast kabob is the first time ever where it's juicy and moist (get your head out of the gutter fiveohwblow ) and the chicken kefta was tasty. It didn't look quite like the pictures you posted so it might've been the wrong thing I ordered lol.

The place looks like it used to be a fast food restaurant before and they made it look much nicer. Good people as well, definitely family owned and run.

Thanks again!!!

Since when did pro motocross go to the Israel/Jordan border and use a ".50cal BMG"...? That's some Mad Max type of shit.

Starting to feel like this guy makes his money by wearing old army fatigues he found at a surplus store and pretending to be a war hero by telling bullshit stories to people on the street while asking for change. Either that or she is the one who actually makes the money and he lives off her while living the playboy lifestyle.



For everyone else, back to the more important topic, scooters. Checked on insurance for the Ducati, ~$600/yr . Also read into swingarm swap, inexpensive and easy to do, but larger 200 rear tire for the SSSA is where you run into handling characteristics affecting turn-in response, but that can be corrected. Most folks that I found that did the swap were just average joes riding on the street and probably didn't know much about suspension/chassis setup and claimed they didn't notice any difference, but that's usually the case with any suspension/geometry issues. It's ridiculous how many of my friends were riding absolutely horrid setups because they didn't know any better, and after I set it up for them they said it was a whole different bike.

So, might look into it, might not. Guess we will see if I get bored enough one winter.

Wicked Witch = every damn "Princess" I've ever met. Can we change your handle to Princess Peach or Peach or Peachy?

Play it all you like, as long as it isn't played here. Additional negative bonus points if it's any song played in a Geico motorcycle insurance commercial.

1 vote for motorbiking - No

Also 1 vote for motorboating - Yes

Id guess, optimistically, only about 5% of the bikes on the road here in the states even have the sag set, and even I think that number is likely way off. More bikes have color changing leds on them than are setup for the riders weight. Its usually the best $80 someone can spend on a bike (getting baseline set).

Also 200 rear? I thought all of the track focused bikes were running the 190 (unless you are talking about slick sizing, which is just a mess). My MV runs a 190 on the 6" rear and it handles fine. The 848 is the 5.5" rear but Id want to improve turn-in before I entertain the 190.

The difference being I'll tell you upfront I'm a wicked witch, a princess pretends and tries to hide the witch inside.

No peachy princess screen name for me.
