Just started watching in 2022. This and motocross are the 2 best sports in America. I love the humor of the racers and the easy demeanor. They act just like fans who can ride fast as HELL.
Old Flat tracker here.........IMHO, the Isles of Man is # 1, Heres a link to help you out, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2zyd9QxsQf0.html with John McGuiness, The Dunlops, all badass riders,,, then the Mile Flat trackers Pro, with the Harleys and Indians, then MotoGP,,,,,,,
Flat Track is extremely entertaining form of racing. The short track is not nearly as exciting as the half mile and the mile track is by far the greatest venue for competitive racing. The mile track length allows for drafting and more passing and strategic moves by the riders. There are about a half dozen mile races on this year’s schedule. Check them out!
I still think they should have to ride twins no matter what track they are on if they are in the twins class. You can change gear ratios for smaller tracks, it's not that hard to swap out a rear wheel with shorter gears so they don't get going as fast. (top speed) and on the TT races... twins ran those for years hence the Triumph T120C and TT Special back in the day and Harley was right along side them.
half miles and short tracks need to be run to they are way too much fun and way less exspensive too build bikes for(dont need near as much motor as the miles ) but i think tt's could go away and not be missed too much
OtisENGINEuity omg those were the days my friend we though they would never end .. Crossed up off the jump three wide Rickman BSA 750 Hornet TT Rickman Triumph 750 Bonniville TT Harley Davidson twin carb XR750 Sportster TT ..I was 16 years old tuning Norton 750 commando Ducati 450 desmo Suzuki 250 x6 hustlers in 1966 and allen and Stein loan company ask us to sell a repo for them ...and when we went to go get it I was supposed to just hop on and ride back ..and like the movie Farris bueller's day off scene of the Ferrari , bump bump ooh ya. it's a Rickman BSA 750 Hornet velocity stacks chrome TT pipes bates headlight bates solo set bates tail light eight valve Rickman head , no speedometer but guess how fast it would go ...8500 rpm in 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th on the back tire
SanFranciscoBay yes would be great ..no more beginner class .go for it or die ..and that would eliminate all the county Fair tracks and all the lines of spectators that used to be cause we don't NEED people and their racing hobbies ..who rides race bikes anyway ? just like At Terre haute Indiana 1/2 featureD IN THE MOVIE on any Sunday ..thanks for people LIKE you that race is gone forever ...and since our 1/2 mile is gone taking all fans with it so now THERE ain't enough fanS to support the famous Indy Mile ..and guess WHAT . the FAMOUS Indy Mile is over and GONE R.I.P. so it won't be long at all as millennials with your millennial ideas can just set a home in front of your PC and ride all your motorcycles you created in GTA5 and not have to get your hands dirty as so thanks to you and your kind there will soon be NO racing at all ..have a beautiful day
Flat track racing So cool Do ATVs have racing on the track too why i am asking because if you race ATV’s the day before the bikes they will do an awesome job grooming the track for the bikes
Bredaxe yea but your sponsored team Harley riders ain't racing harleys no more ..the bullet and mees are lapping Harley Davidson and all the rest passing everyone on new FTR750 indian ..even ol' smith who was the only one who could bang bars with bullet on a kaw is now taking scalps on the war path with the rest of the braves
I still can't believe Daytona presents such a lousy amateurishly prepared track every year. The stands are less than half empty, I would not pay to see a race on such a trashy track.
Bubb Stubbley. how would you like it to be living in the racing capital of the world and your state Fair board decided after a 100+ years the audience was not big enough to steal off the top all the cash ..so they shit canned the most famous motorcycle dirt track race ever the "Indy Mile" imagine that. oh ya btw they did the same thing not too long after filming the movie "on any Sunday " here in my other home town of terre haute Indiana west of indy ..the Vigo county Fair board cancelled all ama gnc1 gnc2 of the famous 1/2 mile that was featured in the movie "on any sunday". millennials don't you just love them
