TWO-STROKE SPOTLIGHT: TWO-STROKE SHOWS SIGN OF AFFECTION

“Hey, guys. Been a subscriber since the early ’80s. I have been a two-stroke loyalist all my life. Not too long ago, I went to put a new piston in my YZ250 and this is the response I got from her. You can say we have a good relationship. And to think I considered a four-stroke.” –Pete from Ottawa, Canada.

JEREMY MARTIN // IS THE EAST REGION
MORE STACKED THAN THE WEST COAST?

Yes and no. People talk about that every year and whatnot, but I don’t
really look at it that way. You are just trying to get better. Obviously, the
West Coast is really stacked but some guys got hurt and that is the nature
of the beast. Now, some East Coast riders may be hurt. Also, there is some
fresh blood out here now, so we will see what we can do this year here on
the East. Hopefully it is good entertainment for everybody.
