"I don't remember the points ever being this
tight after so many rounds."

Meets The Eyes
What a great story. Once again, I'm
reminded why I love motorcycling
and all the great people that love
it and have brought it to where it is
now. The men and women of the
motorcycling community are the
best and represent what America is
all about.
So far, I've spent almost 60
years of my life riding motorcycles.
I've ridden on-road, off-road, MX,
enduros, and have at least a quar-
ter of a million miles riding two-up
with my wife of 35 years. We have
ridden the U.S., Canada and New
Zealand, and I have to say that
the motorcyclists we have met are
quality kind folks.

Larry Lawrence, please keep up
the great stories of the fantastic
history of our sport.
Thank You!

Chad Reed isn't done yet, despite
the naysayers. He's got several
top-10 finishes and sits eighth in
the points. He and Justin Brayton
are showing that sometimes age is
just a number.

You've got to really hand it to
Justin Brayton, the guy keeps on
impressing. He injured his thumb
the previous week in San Diego
and comes back and finishes fifth
in the 450 main at Minneapolis!
Just check out some of the names
that finished behind him: Tomac,
Reed, Barcia, Plessinger, Seely,
Bogle, Baggett…
Way to go, Justin, you're making
us "old guys" proud. And you too,
Reed.

Cooper Webb has been the
surprise of the season. I don't
remember the points ever being
this tight after so many rounds.
Hope the contenders stay healthy
and the championship goes down
to the last race and not the last guy
standing.

I feel like I'm seeing an evolution
of how to race in the 450SX class.
I was really impressed with Webb
and Tomac. Eli didn't press and
crash, he rode smart and took
what was there.
Cooper had a freight train of top
guys behind him and didn't seem
to care. He was focused ahead
and waited half the race for the
right moment to pass. I'm still not
on his bandwagon yet, but he's
riding with a lot of confidence and
showing mental toughness.
Ken Bateman
Good to see Cooper Webb doing
what I though he could do on a
450. Seems like the KTM has
brought back his smooth riding
style. The close points race makes
it even better—three wins and
Webb is still fighting to get to the
red plate.
Nice ride by Ken Roczen, as
well.
