Fewer gadgets and more seat time.
Give me a shout and let me know how you are getting along.
Hope you are doing well.
Dale
Sorry, I could not help myself.
Who loves ya baby. :wink:
Dale, my friend, I can always rely on you for a "reality check" (rainy weather= 0 "seat time") I'm in LA today, I'll call you tonight or tomorrow if it gets too late. Working a couple of avenues on the sponsorship package, talk is cheap we'll see if they come up with a fist full-o dead presidents.....tell Kenny, et.all I said HI.

They are listed in the Force Catalog as well, part #80001094000
Sorry, I have no feedback. I have found that if I do indeed get the holeshot, it only gives every last competitor a chance to run me over when I fall down in the first turn 8O

The opposite of a "Wheelie" is wheel spin.
Carrying the front wheel a few inches off of the ground will aid traction whereas locking the front end will encourage wheel spin and quite possibly provide for a nasty head shake should the first "bump" be a big one.
Bling-Bling Gizmo.

Addendum:
For tarmac and providing one could insure front end lift and fall forceful enough to guarantee release such a device could indeed prove of some benefit. Albeit, so would proper body weight transfer and throttle control. :wink:

Dale my friend, you missed your true calling.....you should have been a surgeon, you eviscerated me in a few sentences without shedding a drop of blood! I will now climb back under my rock and contemplate my lack of skill again.....(sob, sob)

If I cant be FAST, can't my bike at least LOOK fast? Where's the love my brother? I guess I'll go out and sit on one of the bikes and make vroom vroom noises and dream of my salad days, eons ago.......(sigh...)

Do you remember high sidng off off my back wheel @ the San Jose
indoor?
You dislocated your shoulder.
Do you remember who helped you put the shoulder back in?
Yep, sometimes love hurts my brother. :lol: LOL

when i was playing mechanic we were in the first generation of the "holeshot" device.
On pro starts none of the podium guys ran them, in my memory.
Maybe it is different now.
Anytime we didn't get the holeshot was due to a gearing compromise.

If you go to a European Motocross GP - EVERYONE is running a hole-shot device. Even in the behind the times world of Sidecarcross the top few teams started running them last year. We run leading-link non-telescopic forks on Sidecars so the hole shot devices were quite ugly, they were basically two patches of pain ground off on the forks with little turned stubs welded to them and a length of welding wire in tension holding the fork down. My point is these guys were not running it for looks.
I have never personally run one, but I am guessing that they work based on the type of people I have seen run them I.e. hard-core racers that don't give a damn what their bike looks like so long as it is fastest.
Just my observations - Ben

Hi Ben,
Thank you for the input.
From a pure physics point of view you get my drift.
On Tarmac or ice with studs I can see an advantage.
Personally, what I most often view is excessive wheel spin in particularly on concrete launch pads using a gate.
Sincerely,
Dale

Dale - I certainly can see your point, I thought the very same the first time I saw one. It seemed to me that it would do very little in reality. I still can't reconcile my mind to what is going on to give any improvement, if indeed there is any. But then you get to thinking can I be right and the whole rest of the paddock wrong????
That said I am not so insecure in my own opinions that I will follow where the masses lead. I don't have a whole shot device and I never will.
In short I suppose I am with you on it, even thought we must be wrong, right?

Hi Ben,
You know the drill.... Perceived reality, mind over matter and all that.
If one believes to be @ a disadvantage they certainly will be.
Sincerely,
Dale
