Man, that is exciting, right?
Lol.
As the media love affair with KTM continues , as KTM chums it up with communist China and every one with a late model KTM sees the bottom drop out of their bikes resale value.  
What a shit company.

WSB
Or whstever its callrd. BMW returns.

I always wondered why they chose White Power for their name. I looked it up and it was because of the white springs. It looks like it got changed to WP KTM took it over.
I could see why.

[hacksaw]

Not true .
Name was changed in 1991 as the company came out if bankruptcy. Ktm didn’t take over untill late 90’s

While I believe the story on white springs and hospital beds, the springs being white. But where does power come from? Does power mean springs in Dutch?

Now if a company called itself Black Power nobody would say shit. Just goes to show racism is alive and well in this world. Reverse racism . But still racism .

[Fatfatboy]

I don't disagree with you at all. Unfortunately racism is on both sides of the fences. I'm not sure we will ever see it abolished.

[hacksaw]

Well ya know it’s human nature to be bias to one’s self and kind. But hating others is a learned experience. So when government practices favoring anybody according to race it’s promoting racism especially in next generations.
And so it is with social media and the like.

I remember that.

Frank Gorshen was great!
I loved his Kirk Douglas !



Riddle me this Fat Man!

Total BS.
Ya know I kinda like Indian . Despite DJ6 said on CW, and despite the fact he was right (1901 engine covers are fake narrative) . Having had a 47 chief back when Indians were still everyday riders and actually liking Gilroy scouts and Stellcan? Chiefs, I overlooked the fake heritage claim.
Triumph at least still made bikes under commission until bought out by the current company.
But this is insane!
The wrecking crew? Ok so the FX has been banned by the AMA or Flat Track USA. Or whstever klownz kin this crap .
But at least this “modern wrecking crew”
Call it WC2.0 was racking up FLAT TRACK podiums like no tomorrow.
But calling baggers the wrecking crew makes me sick .
A sick perversion of history of ever there was one.
It’s disgusting. Bagger racing sucks anywzy.
The original wrecking crew kept their bikes as light as possible. The opposite of fkng bags.
What a dishonor to those hero’s of old.
All this is , is, nascar . People today don’t give a shit. It’s what ever the media feeds them .
No knowledge of true moto history. No class. A derivative of the old what have you done for me lately thing.
This is stolen valor. 🤮🤮🤮

Well……I dunno guy.
I’m conflicted on the bagger thing.  
Maybe.

I mean, In The Beginning, it was a production bike that was modified by the masses to race.  

Maybe not in the board track days, what was it called,
A Class?
Custom prototype bikes ridden by and available only to
professional riders on teams financed by the factories?

But most of those guys got killed.
And Class C was created.

With the sole intent to save motorcycling and motorcycle racing.  Build bikes based on what the masses could afford. And identify themselves with.

And I’m thinking that’s what’s going on now.

Look, no disrespect to the Joe Leonard’s and Carrol Reswerbers.
Were they racers at heart, caught up in what was really a pretty big promotional scheme?

In reality, I believe that’s what it was.  

Just like the guys of today.
Today’s guys might not be as rough and tumble as the original Hogs.

But look around Hack.

What is?

[hacksaw]

No. The wrecking crew earned their name.
Indian Bagger racing ,   I mean you dont get kicked out of flat track and then stop producing the very affordable by regular people motorcycle kind of associated with it.
 
So yes Grady , I am looking around .
And I don’t see “ With the sole intent to save motorcycling and motorcycle racing.  Build bikes based on what the masses could afford. And identify themselves with.”

I see bagger racing. The anti Christ of the quote above.
O

[hacksaw]

I think I need to see the movie.
I think Fat2 needs to see the movie . Or watch it again .

This bagger thing is a huge disrespect for these three men.
May as well kneel for the national anthem .
But ya know, I am not surprised.
