Dirt bikes

Finally

 

Rode the CRF230f for the first time at Florida Track and Trails today. It sucked. Sugar sand is a foot deep and this bike ain't made for that. Bike was squirrely as hell. Front end wasn't stable and neither was the rear. It has a rear sand tire on it too. You have to always be on the throttle or it sinks in the sand. I know some of it is me. But even the trail I tried to ride was nothing but deep sand. You need power to ride in this stuff. I didn't have fun. Definitely not a good bike to get back into dirt riding down here. It would be fine up north in real dirt. IMHO you must have at least a 250/300 two stroke or a 450 four stroke MX bike. The trails aren't like up north. They are somewhat wide and nothing but deep, deep sand. Hardly anybody was riding the trails. So it wasn't just me. Plus it's a 2.5 hour drive oneway. So if you want to do just a one day trip. It's 5hours of driving. Sorry for the bitching but I was disappointed in the bike and myself.

 

Picked myself up another freshie. Pretty pumped!

 

That one is all done-up, too. Be careful, lest you shoot your eye out, kid.

 

Blue Junk just gave me blue-balls. That's a cracker of a bike.

 

Nah, the Husqvarna is the cracker version.

 

Fun fact. Sherco bikes all come with a 220 watt stator.

I'll be putting a huge light on for the next night race. At least 10,000 lumen.

 

I was pretty bummed they stopped KoM after last year. I was hoping to do it, the night race looks epic. I’m still going to make a helmet kit and do night rides next season.

What other night races are there?

 

We just did 24 hours of starvation ridge. https://www.motorcyclistonline.com/24-hour-motorcycle-ride-starvation-ridge

There's a few other local 24 hour races.


There's also 24 of glen helen and Baja 1000.

 

Where'd you get the big wall print of the bike?

 

I have a friend that owns a large format digital print company that made it.

 

Fathead can do them as well.

 

You want to come out and race with us next year for the SR24?

 

I could actually really be into that! I’ll look and see when it is and see if there’s a conflict yet.

 

End of October.

 

Yeah I just saw that. I’d be into that! Road racing is basically over and my schedule should be freed up. I watched a couple videos and it looks like a cool event.

 

Lol

 

Back on the sauce, old man?

 

You always have to be on the gas riding in sand, regardless of the bike you’re on...

 

I feel your pain!
I felt the same way when I joined a few friends down in/near the Pine Barrens in central Jersey a few yrs ago.....I don't know how they enjoy riding in that wishy washy shit....lol. Like the others said, you have to always be on the gas to have any control....it wasn't my cup O tea either.
