TSM’s mission is to ensure that two stroke riders/racers have a place to go to read and comment about their engine of choice. A place where ideas and solutions can be discussed in a respectful and intelligent manner. TSM is continuing to grow the site, as well as TSM Racing.

Bringing back two strokes is something the off-road industry needs to embrace and TSM is doing their part. www.twostrokemotocross.com Steve Rapp – AMA Superbike Racer, San Diego BMW Lee’s Cycles Road racing veteran, Steve Rapp had a strong showing at Infineon Raceway this past weekend finishing 4th on Saturday and 6th on Sunday in the AMA Superbike class.
