    This should help select a gear. It shows the RPM your engine would be at in 3rd (1:1) at 65mph. Just multiply the RPM for the tire and gear combo by 0.696 (OD ratio)

    Most sports require one ball, motocross requires two.

    Racing isn't a matter of life and death, it's much more important than that.
