CN III VOICES W H A T Y O U A R E S A Y I N G "I'm glad to hear that the TPI system seems to actually work well, but I'm still a fan of the good ol' fashion carburetor." 2018 Star Venture I like the aggressive looking front end, but will that air- cooled V-twin fry your legs like H-D and Indian? Keith MacClugage 2018 KTM 250 XC-W TPI I enjoyed reading your article on the fuel-injected two-stroke KTM. I'm glad to hear that the TPI system seems to actually work well, but I'm still a fan of the good ol' fashion carbure- tor. They are simple to use and not really that hard to jet and, once you do get them dialed in, you usually don't have to fiddle with them too much anymore, unless you go up in elevation. Even then, it's not that big of a deal. Still, I do believe fuel- injection is the way to go in the future, for sure, and hope that it encourages the manufac- tures to continue building—and maybe even start building—two- strokes. Jim Boyles Tomahawk GNCC Just wanted to congratulate Thad Duvall for winning the Tomahawk GNCC this week- end and winning for the second time in row in GNCC. Thad has been right there for so long, but now he's finally risen to the next level and is giving Kailub Russell something to think about for the first time in a long time. It's making the series interesting again. Keep it up, Thad, we're cheering for you. Charlotte Lindsey American Flat Track Harley will be lucky to make the main, but I'm pulling for them! They need to pull a rabbit out of their hat here. And I'm super proud of Indian for making a comeback! William Johnson The racing is great, but come on. The health of this racing will need more than the two brands they are promoting. Jamie Williams Letters to the editor can be sent to voices@cyclenews.com.
