You Honda guys (which may be me next year depending on how this turns out!) check this out:

But wait, there is more:
A WERA spy has informed me they are paying $2000, $1500, $1000, $750, and $500, 1st through 5th place, in HW Twins, Open SS, and 600 SS for all national races plus a $2500 bonus for the championship. Ladies and Gents...this is some pretty serious cash.
Wonder how this will translate to CCS and FUSA?
Wonder how Suz, Kwak, and Yammie will respond?
I'm speaking for Kwak and we're not giving you jack shiznit! ;D
But did you also see that they pulled out of sponsoring the FUSA series? That is not good, especially this late in the game.
I'd like to see how Yam and Suzuki respond also. Wouldnt it be nice to see a contingency war.
I bet Jef4y is QUITE happy right now! :D
QuoteI bet Jef4y is QUITE happy right now! :D
Oh, I can assure you. He is... :D
I just wish the other bike was an "I", then no matter what I ran I'd be in the running for $$$.
Not that I'll see a 5th, but hey, a guy's gotta have a goal right?!?!
Do you mean F4i? In the RRW article, I read that the F4i was included in the contingency program.
Hello Honda, Are you listening? How about a little $ for the 2 stroke riders huh? Always the brides maid...never the bride. Damn
QuoteDo you mean F4i? In the RRW article, I read that the F4i was included in the contingency program.
It is.. I meant "I wish the other was an I" because my other bike is an F4... Not an I... But the RR will still count :-)
Now I've just gotta beat a few real fast people :-)

Contingency war probably won't happen.
Years ago, the manufacturers of 600cc motorcycles decided not to one up each other too much. That keeps the flow of riders moving between bikes every year. The performance at regional races, a better measure of normal, legal performance levels, has not dramatically increased even though the flow of information would make you think that it does.
So, what Honda's contingency will be, if it will be cash or certificates...we'll have to wait and see.
And even then, Yamaha has traditionally offered a lot of money, but you still see a whole lot of Suzuki's...
ok Mr. glass half full. ;)
Hey Dave, are you going to the 3 hour race Sun. ??
Y
LOL! ;D
I can't. I have to do the Pinewood Derby on Sunday. First time for my six year old. Should be fun, but you'll all be just twenty minutes down the road.
I love riding on the ice.... :-[
wuytack.. you better cool out with all this ice riding crap! youre going to hurt yourself and you won't be able to race in April you buttskin. You need to find a new winter hobby.
Y and D. How long have you all been friends? You all carry on like you've been friends your entire lives.
It's always refreshing to read your messages.
Rev. Kwak. In an attempt to help my racing career, with my ultimate goal of becoming the first Formula fourty world Champion, I feel that this ice riding can only help me reach that goal.
You on the other hand are spending your off season watching re-runs of I Love Lucy and reading Korean High Times.
I've asked you on several occasions to join me..yet your unwilling to remove your skirt. "OH LUCYYY........ :o
Y

Listen you mofo... I told you that I hurt my lower back. I would love to go ride that crazy thing on the ice but I can't. I have to be good and listen to wife so that I can go race 10 weekends once the season starts. By the way.. you really need to learn how to spell. It's forty! not fourty. I think you might have the mental capacity of a small pony. :P Why don't you have a party? I'll bring my XR and we'll race in your yard.

main bearing??? that's really really bad. That basically means your crank done did blowed itself apart. Hope you didnt destroy your cases. Did you drop the motor and take a look yet? :-X

I think the dude that sold you that bike sold you a lemon! I know you're not ringing that thing that hard that you'd blow a main bearing unless you had condensation build up in the motor that froze etc etc...
Blew it up? Is that the one I rode...If so I had nothing to do with it.
(Korean Times...LOL!) :D
Super Dave..
so you think the Korea times bit is funny eh? Don't laugh mang... I actually read that stuff. :P
(It's still funny... ;D)
But I'm laughing with you.... ;)
