Vital MX columnist Chris Cooksey on what he calls “the yips” that have haunted the Monster Energy Kawasaki rider in supercross

“The loss of such a unique collection of motorcycles must be upsetting. As we all know, motorcycles are carefully selected soulmates that bring untold joy, even when they are just languishing in the dark. Replacing a motorcycle is not just a question of money, especially when one is dealing with such a well-curated coven.”
Report on MSN.com about the theft of three of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards’ vintage motorcycles, including a KTM 495 and a Maico 490, from a garage behind his estate in England

“I would have been a fantasy killer in my day. Not from crashing though, just from not trying.”
NBC Sport’s Daniel Blair to Steve Matthes via text message
“There was never any doubt in my mind as a teenager looking for some freedom that I was going to jump onto a moped as soon as I could and pass my test. Bikes mean the same thing to me now.

EXCERPTS FROM THE INTERNET’S TOP MOTOCROSS RADIO SHOW
“If you would have asked me a few years ago when I was three months into puberty I probably would have passed, but I’m pretty comfortable with my body these days, so maybe.”
Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Adam Cianciarulo is not ruling out a nude-beach excursion someday
“I had no idea until right after the main when Roczen showed me his nipples.”
Red Bull KTM’s Marvin Musquin wasn’t affected by the lime at the San Diego round and wasn’t aware there was an issue until Ken Roczen apparently flashed him
“I went back down and changed rooms because I’m not starting off the weekend on the 13th floor in room 1313.”
Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Dean Wilson isn’t overly superstitious but wasn’t taking any chances in Minneapolis
“It’s like when you were a kid playing video games and you’re getting waxed at Mario Kart before you got rocket boosters. It’s like hitting that a few times and bump a couple of guys and get some rocket boosters along the way.”
Grant Langston was never afraid to move racers in front of him when he needed to and thinks some of today’s riders need to be more aggressive—and earn some rocket boosters—coming through the pack
