Received a note from FMF racing today. These guys rock!

Shown below are the two stroke ads that the great folks at FMF designed in support of two strokes. They are awesome! Click on the link under the small photo for a full size image.

It was difficult finding results for this race! The following blurb was found in the August 2008 issue of MXA.

SURPRISE OF THE WEEKEND
BATTLE OF THE TWO-SMOKES
Since timed qualifying makes watching paint dry seem exciting, Glen Helen decided to spice up Saturday’s program with an invitational pro race for two-strokes only. Read that again! The sound of ringdings would not only be back, but with their own race.

The August 2008 issue of Motocross Action magazine contains a test of a 250 two stroke versus a 250 four stroke. The following is the text of that test.

Rule changes made the fourstroke what it is today. Without the AMA four-stroke exemption rule of 1998, the modern four-stroke would still be defined by the Honda XR600.

The Two Stroke Militia site has been re-designed with you in mind. There are many new features that make it easy to find new content and to search for what you want. The biggest addition is that you can add your comments to any post.

Round six of the DEP Pipes British 2 Stroke Championship saw Wakes Colne in Essex perfumed with the glorious smell of premix. The track was immaculately prepped and perfect come Sunday morning, even with a very wet buildup to the event – riders were spoiled for choice when it came to lines, and the dirt was spot-on.

The complete race report is here.

I hope everyone who reads these pages can take something from them that makes their dirt biking more fun, with less hassle and expense.

I’d like to start out with the definition of a word. POTENTIAL. The definition of the word is as follows; existing in possibility, capable of development into actuality! The reason I started here is because motorcycles have potential. Potential to have fun, and also to hurt and kill you. So we must understand the risks involved in whatever endeavor we wish, particularly when a helmet is required. So in dirt biking, we have, existing in possibility, the capability to ACTUALLY HAVE FUN. There are various and sundry reasons why we don’t have fun, as that potential is there as well. So with that frame of reference in mind, let’s start.

The 2009 YZ250 is light which allows you to scrub jumps with ease.

Yamaha’s legendary two-stroke is more potent than ever with a light aluminum frame housing a patented YPVS Power equipped engine that delivers great power-to-weight ratio. YZ250 is ready to race out of the crate complete with ProTaper aluminum handlebar, titanium footpegs, gripper seat and Excel rims.

How many times did we hear parents, teachers, or some other “grown-up” say that when we were kids…?

And you know what… as much as it may have pissed us off at the time… they were right… !
