Cheatin’ or just plain beatin’?
MIKE BIERMAN
No I am not riding a 120cc
The fact is that I just maintain or have my XR maintained better than any of you cheap ass rat bastards. My modifications are bolt on simple, and when I say simple it should be synonymous with your way of thinking. Now there is some GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS that I am about to tell you.
The GOOD NEWS is that I will volunteer my modifications here and now, and if you choose then maybe.. .just maybe you can meet me at the first corner.
#1. Alloy rear sprocket. $45.00 This reduces unsprung weight by 41/2 pounds which in return gets the rear wheel up to maximum performance much quicker than the stocker.
#2. Regina chain $56.00 This one you should have figured out, it just works better.
#3. K & N filter $19.00 If you can’t get the air in you can’t get it out.
#4. White Bros. Prototype E series exhaust (oh sorry... this one is not available yet) estimated $250.00
This pipe was built especially for me and my 24 hour winning team it will be available very soon. Trust me when I say that it works! And it’s quiet. It weighs about the same as a stocker but adds at least one horse power.
#5. New tires $26.00 each. (= $52.00 there I did the math for you now put your shoes back on).
That extra edge helps off the gate and you can push a little harder into the first turn. I put them on for every race.
#6. After market rear shock $300.00. Stock shocks haven’t any damping. These just keep the XR power to the ground.
#7. Swing arm bushings. $25.00 complete set (plastic) If your a jumpin’ and a jerkin’ you can’t maintain traction. I changed mine four times this year.
#8. IMS Shift lever. $25.00 The all important gear shifting.. .miss one gear, loose three or four seconds.
#9. Clean the carburetor every race. $ 0 We ask a lot out of these little pumpers, if a minute piece of dust gets in there it will not perform to it maximum level.
#10. Remove everything metal that you don’t need. $ 0 Number plate brackets, fender brackets, side stand (and spring). Grams are like calories a few here and a few there, and the pounds just fall off.
#11. Engine maintenance. $165.00 (parts only each time) Piston, rings, clutches and gaskets. I had SPIKE RACING rebuild my top end three or four times this year. This is to insure top engine performance. When you start with 6.9 hp minimal loss is a great disadvantage.
#12. Engines only alloy engine plates. $30.00 Again alloy is lighter and it also performs better.(plus it looks cool). It adds up to almost $1000.00
I didn’t spend a thousand dollars this year on my XR 100 In fact I made about a thousand dollars on my XR 100. I am lucky to have product and financial backing as indicated by the stickers I run on my XR.
People often say: “let me ride your bike and you ride mine and then we’ll see” yea.. .sure... why would I subject myself into riding your pile when I’ve maintained a sano machine.
At 42+ years old and 210+ pounds I am just plain better than your skinny ass, skirt wearin’ punks. Give me a hundred titty tokens and I will teach you how to power shift.
Now for the BAD NEWS: Huntington Beach Honda has givin’ me (yes free) a 00’ XR 100 and I am going to build (with help from sponsors) a new race machine. It will be a 120cc and it will be called a SUPER STOCKIFIED! I’ll run it in the modified classes so I don’t have to hear you stock guys snivel anymore. All the mods above are for real... the cocky-ness is for fun! stomp ya later.

P.S.
Do you realize that if I were a celebrity everybody would want to look like me?
