Remember to use the word handicap when speaking of the four-strokes!!

That is a great article.Some 2 stroke lovers i know need to realize that they don't need to have a yelling match or fist fight to get the point across.lol
-
Thanks for the compliment on the article.
I agree... the head on fight stuff does nothing to help anyone...
Head games on the other hand, they can move mountains!! LOL
-
when it was a 2stroke class
they where so strict that a engine could not be bigger than 125cc or 250cc
-
The professional side of the sport is so pathetic and corrupted with their rules. In Canada, we just follow the AMA. so no comments!

Dammit John, you got a song stuck in my head.
Foreigner - Head Games with lyrics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mctBMLUQdsg#)

I love it! Handicap will be a part of my vocabulary for sure. :P

How about getting some replica handicap parking signs for your car made that hang on your rear view mirror and hang them from peoples 4t bars? :D
-
That'd go over well. I just have to finish putting the little aftermarket feet on all the Jesus-Fish car magnets in the Wal-Mart parking lot first, though.

What do you have against the fish?

Please don't take this down a religious road! Everyone has their beliefs and they are entitled to them.
As for the head games, that is what really happened with the four-strokes... by using brilliant marketing the manufacturers convinced a huge population of motocross enthusiasts to switch. Stating things like technologically advanced and many other marketing buzz words. Of course they did not say, yeah you gotta buy the four-strokes, they're twice as big!!
Reminds me of a scene from a movie...
Spinal Tap - 11 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbVKWCpNFhY#ws)
That is what has happened in motocross.... :P :P
-
That is funny and a good analogy. ;D Now where did i put those handicap signs?

Thanks John, although I've been known to go toe to toe, so it might not further my cause but it sure is fun. LOL. It gets real quiet when you call them at their own game. OWNED is the best post ever. Although I need to learn not to rub things in. >:D I just put up a chirp chirp chirp (cricket quiet) when they get called out post. We should really start making shirts etc like grumpy posted. It will make people look at it and ask what it means. So we can explain the double displacement rule.

My facebook letter of condolences. LOL
"I'd just like to give my condolences to anyone riding 4 strokes with double displacement. I'm sorry you have to use the 4 stroke handi-cap when racing. It's too bad, when like in golf you just can't perform and have to use the handi-cap... Good luck this year racing"

Yes that is what i was saying. :D

I might try replacing the dude with a wheelchair with a pair of cams and valves. After all, we don't want to insult people in wheelchairs (like Mike Cuddy, a two-stroke-loyal at SuperHunky.com)
-
Just call them "Foul Strokes".
"You riding a handicaped foul stroke at the race today?"
"How's your handicap on the foul stroke?"
"I heard of a new AMA rule that allows foul strokes to start in the middle of the track."
-
Without the wheel chair the meaning starts to deterorate I think since it's the universal symbol of Handicapp parking even if you're not in a wheel chair. But since we are actually not talking about physical persona handicapp perhaps an all together different sign is more appropriate. Is there a sign for Golf Handicap or other sports?
