Did he bend his shift lever in moto 2?
I know that, but what I'm asking is if he also bent it in the 2nd moto.No he bent it on the first lap of moto one.

Brownie reported he got lost (being his first National Dez race) and then he had EFI issues, which would lead to him running out of gas pre-maturely.Just like mike brown running out of gas in a national.... COME ON those guys know exactly what those bikes get fuel mileage wise I have a hard time believing he ran out of gas. Plus I heard somewhere that the motor let go and he had to pull off. That is just a rumor but I believe that more than the Running out of gas story that KTM is telling.
most shifters aren't that hard to benddoes anyone know what the tuff blocks are made of? jeez they must be hard.
Shifters bend, levers break, bikes run out of gas.... Its racing and they know it happens... I know it happens, James knows it happens and Nighthawk knows it happens... back in the day when 80's raced 20 min motos+2 we would run out of gas occasionally... Broome Tioga comes to mind as well as Terrytown, Fl... Deep sand and full throttle to keep going in florida for 20mins plus and Broome is just treacherous uphills... ..
Speaking of which.. James, wanna go to Florida this year?

Bikes can and have run out of gas at Nationals, if I remember right there was a rider that ran out with only a few corners to go at Redbud last season. There's a reason that they top off the bikes after their site lap.Shifters bend, levers break, bikes run out of gas.... Its racing and they know it happens...

Also, not sure how you could be that accurate in gauging fuel mileage at an Outdoor National. This isn't NASCAR, you have a lot more variables. However yes you should be able to at least get a decent guess by measuring gas used in a qualifying session and a little math.
