Paul Carpenter’s Monster Energy/Cernic’s/Kawasaki mechanic Glenn Hobson stopped by the TransWorld Motocross photo studio last week to give us a closer look at his pride and joy.

The team is sponsored by Pro Wheel, and uses the rims, mated to stock hubs, spokes and nipples. Pro Taper sprockets and a new Pro Taper chain helps put the power to the ground. EBC brake pads and a rear rotor do the stopping. Works Connnection provides the axle blocks, which hold the stock (albeit drilled for some extra flair) axle in place.

Fuch’s huh? First time I’ve seen that as a sponsor of an American Team/Team in an American Series.
Typically they stay to the Road stuff.

This alignment is also towards a southerly rising of Venus which occurs once every eight years.

hey swap, since u guys seem to actually check the posts(most dont). i was wondering what the Bikes of our top stars(450 stewart/reed and 250 dungey etc) weigh? everyone talks power but the weight differences could be HUGE differences in handling and way suspension works.. Just have always been curious and have never seen anything since the last Factory 125 2-stroke of Brett Metcalfe..
thanks in advance #:)

Sweet Ride Pauly! I love my NY riders!

Just for the record suzuki94, Paul Carpenter is from Ithaca, NY… not Canada. He may have won the Canadian series championship, but that doesn’t make him Canadian.
