"I suggest a two-wheeled road trip, stopping at a few
places of worship along the way."
The Benefit Of
Security
I always love to read
Rennie's rantings
and this week did not
disappoint. A helmet
lock that actually works
(at least for helmets
with D-rings) is truly a
wonderful thing and
my trusty KLR 650 has
one of the best and
always has. Trouble
is, I wear a Schuberth
C3 Pro which has the
ratcheting strap closure, ren-
dering the helmet lock worth-
less.
Rennie, beware of where
you leave your bike parked
and helmet hanging out in the
open, because if the idiot with
a knife wants your super cool
hand-painted retro helmet, he
will just cut the nylon strap! Or
if it ever rains again and the
deluge comes whilst your lid is
in the open, you'll have a nice
soggy ride home in more ways
than one!

Between the f-bomb, porn
comments and overall para-
noia, I think Rennie needs
a vacation. I suggest a two-
wheeled road trip, stopping at
a few places of worship along
the way.
P.S. Love your e-rag, I now
always look forward to Tuesday.

Regarding "The Benefit of
Security," give Suzuki some
credit. My good ol' late model
old-style DR650 has a helmet
lock like the ones in your pic-
ture of a Kawasaki.

The racing is good and the
tracks are really good. Every-
one likes to complain about
supercross tracks but they're
holding up well and providing
good racing.
Tomac's crash wasn't his
fault; it was having too many
riders funneling into a turn.
Going to a two-row grid could
keep guys safer and make the
racing better.
I hope Tomac doesn't go
outdoor-only, considering
his speed in Supercross and
almost taking the title last
year, and winning over half the
races.
If Anderson doesn't
make a major mistake
he should be able
to cruise to the title
with the crappy points
system.

What a night, though
not all for good rea-
sons. The jump that
Bogle got crushed
under was right in front
of me. It was a huge
triple into a corner,
with an equally huge triple after
the same corner with no run
up. There were a lot of identical
near-crashes on every open-
ing lap because not everyone
could do the triples on lap one
and the speed differential was
huge between those doubling
and tripling. I know we all love
airtime, but so many riders are
getting jacked up because of
tiny mistakes.
Bogle is lucky it wasn't
worse. Cool obstacles, yes,
but perhaps a little more fore-
thought into placement of the
sky shots might help.
When Roczen was carted
off, (no fault of the track) the
energy of the entire stadium
went quiet. Most thought the
worst, and suddenly the race
didn't seem so important any-
more. Thank God it isn't as bad
as it looked.
Best wishes KR.
