WOW! Ain't no way I could bring myself to run through that stuff so fast. But then I can walk through metal detectors with no trouble either.

Whoa. The older I get, the slower I go!

Mike: It was good meeting you! Sorry we didn't get to ride further. Let's try it again soon.

Good getting to meet you, too. Darn plug! We were working in the Indian last night and I told my friend, "don't let me get going to fast or I'll skip something important." Trouble with an RT is is takes 30 minutes to get the plastic off and fix what I skipped. We'll get some time out soon on the Panhead and the Tiger. Maybe we can get some riding in on the DS bikes.

As for that vid, that guy is really, really moving across some very nasty ground. And when he gets off track and cuts across country he doesn't slow down any!

I used to ride that fast. I had to get a TW200 since I heal so much slower these days.

There is a warning in desert racing that if a crowd is gathering around a spot that would otherwise not attract spectators, there is a booby trap.

Somebody hit the fast forward button.

txrebel · 11-08-2012, 03:23 PM

I once rode a scramble with a start such as that. I sat there after the start waiting for the dust to clear... no way I was ever going to keep up with anything going like that... LOL
