I knew that eyes would be rolling everywhere when I read that. We had three interviews and each time he had to ask again what I did what on. All three times I had to tell him that the 200 mph was at the Texas Mile on a 2007 Suzuki Hayabusa with nitrous. I even spelled it for him. When he admitted that he didn't know what the Baja 1000 was I knew the story would have some issues.
Modern Beat is my boyfriend and his autospell must have been taking over his keyboard. The XR was built to run Rally Moto but never did due to cost and then was striped of its lights and converted to supermoto style setup for Pikes Peak. I will be back there next year with a real race bike. Yes, an XR won't go 200 even if you throw it out of a plane.
One more thing. I think the story was more about an unmotivated uninspired person getting off her ***** and finding something to get excited about than some "gal that decided she liked racing". They did a similar story on Dave Carapetyan (Rally Car Driver) last year and he is not a "gal".
There are several misquotes and quotes out of context but that is to be expected, especially from a non racer/rider. I assure you that I am nowhere near as cool as he tries to make me sound.
My 2 cents.
