Got suspension?
 

Sieg, what i dont understand about fox is why do they sell more swag in the dirt bike community but not shocks? you would think...

That was an awesome video, I wish I had the skills to drive that machine so fast sideways over the bumps.

Remember when they got their start?

I'd wager that the competition from White Power (WPS) and Olins was strong enough that they realized they could make a LOT more profit selling t-shirts..........and the average dirt-bikers are cheap cheap cheapest of the bunch.

They really seem to be back in a big way now. Polaris OEM, RideTech, Hotchkis, and more.

Josh, not taking anything away from the drivers - you'd have to drive something with that level of suspension to understand when it's set up right how magical it can be. :thumbsup:

forgot all about that, mid late 70's?

their doing the ridetech stuff, but hotchkis too?

had ohlins on my gasgas ec250 and man that thing could handle...

Sieg, forgot to tell ya, after i'm done with my LS conversion in my 70, i am restoring a 1974 KTM 175 aka Jack Piner special by Penton...bike is complete now, i just have to take it all apart and put it back together

Since you mentioned Jack and Penton........here he is on the right. :thumbsup:

I forgot about Pentons. Sieg Do you remember Cliff Hughs of CH Ind.. he used to put Honda CR engs in Pentons and called them Pendas..

OH and Hodakas

Heard it was two brothers. One wanted to make shocks the other went on to make T-shirts.

While watching the suspension video -- it reminded me of a girl I used to know....

It's the AMA Museum in Ohio. KTM had a private event during their annual dealer show it coordinated with the new motocross display. All the bikes on display were exceptional examples.

One of my personal fav's........thought you'd never ask. :D
