I would think that the upgraded axles on the 400 and 500's would have to do with reliability, would they not? I mean bigger and stronger axles means less chance of breaking them.

Yeah or he is real tough because he's lasted a long time at making mistakes. Gee that could be me. I've been as stupid and dumb as anyone out there but and it's a big one, I was either smart enough to survive or lucky enough. I'll tell you how I can tell the smart part from the lucky parts. I have a lot of scars and parts of the body that don't work right anymore from the lucky times. The smart parts are just memories of some pretty wild rides that ended in a crash or whatever. How about a 110 mph blowover in a 16 foot boat, just a wild memory as I was strapped in the latest safety capsule and walked (swam actually) way from a totally destroyed boat. The capsules were still optional until the following year. The reason was that in 5 years we lost 5 racers in accidents once the speeds went over 100 mph. So being dumb is fine if you want to limp and hurt a lot when you get older, that is if you do. I lost several friends to being stupid on their part. Fortunately for me I don't have to live with knowing I killed someone from being stupid by an action on my part. So MYTRX250EXISBEST, when you live long enough to have a lot of memories, scars and limps, etc then I might just think you know what you are talking about, but then again you have to survive and at this point it is doubtful.

For the last time dude get over yourself I am sure there are people in the world that have done stupider and wilder stuff then you have. My friend have you ever heard of Evil Keneviel? Got rich by doing these dumb and wild things. Though he has paid the price asw many others that follow up will.

.... Forrest Gump had it right about you guys.
You and I both know that the dissrespectful youth will never accomplish anything greater then their drivers license so please don't expect more then that. You and I may have done some pretty spectacular stunts in our time - but that was for our types - not theirs. We know to bow when passing the grave yard.
Some people watch things happen, Some people make things happen. Thats the way its always been.
If anything - at best you can only hope to awaken people to information they don't have - and pray that they are smart enough to change their own minds.
Ironic isn't it .
