Too sick to ride now that the weather is better.
I could use some help with my jetting also.
There is an AMA dirt bike race in Huston on channel 4 right now.

Watkins is also open but it’s a mud bog too.

I have a brand new set of mud tires in 21/19... cheap if anyone needs them.
Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
The track was a muddy disaster, almost totally unrideable, I managed a few laps and packed it up. Washed a good 10 lbs. of mud off at the car wash (boy is someone gonna be pissed), then came home and washed the other 3lbs. off.
The Katoom has a 18 rearI have a brand new Dunlop 19" I bought for the YZ I wish would fit.

Well now that I bought the yearly membership I guess I gotta ride there some more now.
Rich what issues are you having with your jetting ?
I'll IM you my issues on the jetting.
Us boys plan to ride more at VDR so we all can race the H/S next year.
My neighbor has had a KTM 300EXC for a while now. That is one fast bike!

I heard that Aztec is in better shape…might have to hit that up.

Race is postponed again, so it looks like IMI is the ticket. Gonna take the Super Moto and the dirt bike.
UH, do you mean mud bike?

I stopped by Berthoud today on the way to Loveland. Closed and lots of mud…gonna need a couple weeks of sunny and 60 before it’s worth a damn. We’re planning on Aztec or some new track in the Springs next Sunday or Monday…assuming it doesn’t snow a foot between now and then.

There were people playing on dirt bikes and quads at IMI but I didn't even bother to unload mine, it was still way to muddy, and I didn't feel like cleaning that mess up again. The asphalt was fine though!
H/S is on for tomorrow 2/25
I saw some dirt bikes on a trailer headed from VDR tonight that were NOT muddy. Should be a good day for a hare scramble!

Damn, I hurt
Was a different experience for sure. There are some guys that just plain haul ass! Nothing like having someone pass you with their tires 5' over your head while they are doubling and tripling the jumps. Made it 1.75 hrs. into the 2 hr. race and said enough is enough.
Next time I won't forget my chest protector, I have welts on my chest and stomach from the roost the big thumpers were throwing up.
The rain made the traction good, a little mud in places but not bad.
Next race (final) is April 22, guess I'll decide later if I want to do it or if I just stick to the trails.
I made it 1 hour 40 minutes. I am hurtin, though I did make it to work today.Originally Posted by krod
That track will put a hurtin on ya. Have fun I would go but still looking for another bike.
That track was great. I am going to start getting my boys faster and get them into the kids H/S in April.
Some of those guys were flying! I have great respect for them. How good of a shape they are in to ride at that level for 2 hours.
It was fun hanging with you Bueller. We'll have to meet up at VDR again but this time at a slower pace with more water breaks.
The roosts were so bad that my head light was broken out! Don't forget your chest protector!

No one's posted for a while, when's the next thing comin up that I could get involved in?
April 22 is the last in the series, I will be racing Supermoto that particular day but Buddau said he is going to do it.
Here is a link to a bunch of pics from the last VDR Scramble 11/18

Scott and I could be up for the one in December
It is what it is
I think there is going to be a couple of us going.
I did much better at that April H/S.
When doing these Hare Scrambles, have a hydration pack full! Also try to relax and pace yourself the 1st few laps. Try not to lay the bike down, it wasts lots of energy picking your bike up. Don't follow the guy in front of you.
Tape over your headlight or remove it. Wear a chest protector! The roosts from the faster guys will hurt you.
It's a long race, I lost the sence of time and just kept going until they stopped me.
Have fun!
