Brady,
I've sat here and tried to think of a way to come to your aid... but you just make it to easy to dis-like you man!
You want statistics? Here ya go!
Open Class 2008 Results
1. Yamaha - ("hi-tech new 4 stroke")
2. Yamaha - ditto
3. Yamaha - some of the same!
Vet Class
1. Yamaha - (rocket ship 4 stroke technology)
2. Yamaha - (another ol "stock" two stroke)
3. Honda/Kawasaki - Yeah this just happens to be Brady... but that stock ol honda is actually a Tori/ATP/Mystic "built" motor (pffft - those are all the names of different mechanics it's taken to work on keeping it running), with an aluminum frame, pro-trax front end, top end PEP suspension, and about the best money can buy of everthing on it... and it still finished 3rd... shows those skillz. Then the Kawasaki which was built by K&K after an 18 month hiatus finished at the top of the podium its first 2 times out, and was then "stored" away... still running great I might add, which did the majority of the point collecting to help that Honda look good. To quote Ryland... "Daddy why are you riding the black bike when you win on the green one?"
That being said you want to bash the Yamahas that are doing their off season maintenance to get ready for the race season?! C'mon man! I can't just let that slide! We'll se what happens when the racing starts counting for something... you... you... hater!
P.S. please keep the Homo internet porn to yourself.
Well well.... aren't we quite the statistician Mr. Hopkins! Did you write all that yourself, or did a bunch of you guys get together after needlepoint class and compare notes?
And, Mr McNary I think I will reply since Jody's "facts" are obviously very skewed.
OK, lets just take a closer look at "your" statistics.....
The Open class... Yamaha's 1st, 2nd, & 3rd. What an accomplishment! Wait a minute....oh yeah...... that's right.....the entire class is YFZ's (and a broke down Banshee).... How proud you still must be though! Great Job!
The Vet class... Yes a YFZ won the class. I don't deny that. Dale made every race and was very consistent, which is very commendable. I heard his engine builder used a Honda piston in his motor, which I'm sure contributed to it not going boom and becoming several various sized paperweights. Remember, the two strokes only ran HALF the races and STILL finished 2nd and 3rd. That's right... skillz.
You are correct by saying the Kawi won its first times out. K & K has got that thing running perfect. I only parked it so the other riders in the class would not get discouraged.
I think you made most of that stuff about my Honda up. That doesn't sound anything like my bike? As for the Torri/ATP/Mystic comment... Torri is who I bought it from. ATP fixed the tranny for Dave B. way back when, and Mystic built the motor OVER A YEAR AGO. Get it right Kansas City.
Good call on the Ryland quote! He totally did say that! I sold him on ebay shortly after.....
Points huh?....Yes.... we will see Mr Hopkins... we will see....
ps- stay off the computer and get back to polishing Waynes bike.
