It's great when you're goin' good, but when you crash, you crash.ĬS: There's such a variation in crash energies, and the certification for motorcycle helmets-and when I say certification for helmets, it's the same certification for all motorcycle helmets, whether it's a street helmet, or a scooter helmet, or a motocross helmet. They run bigger foot pegs than they used to, to give guys more of a platform, and the suspension is so much stronger-but in turn, the guys are jumping 'em further and jumping 'em bigger. And so a lot of times, guys will get hurt on the bigger-displacement bikes because something will happen, they'll grab a handful of throttle, and the bike takes them either into something that they don't want, or takes them faster into a section where they were trying to slow down. And the first thing they say is, "I want a 450." And I say no, because when you have a newer rider, he panics, he doesn't know what to do to save it. I work with military special forces, and all these guys are very strong, very capable, very alpha male. RJ: No, a smaller displacement bike is definitely the way to go. Is it in any way tied to the engine size of the bike? Or is it all the same-if you're on the beginning of the learning curve, you get hurt, no matter the equipment? But do it so that you're not throwing yourself on the ground. So you have to make sure that you're not overtraining, that you're not taking unnecessary risks, that you're trying to constantly be faster and better and better. ![]() ![]() RJ: Your job every weekend is to show up. Conserve yourself physically, or also mentally? ![]()
