A few pics from RND 8 of the AXC series - Me, my Son, and my Nephew, My son got 3rd Overall, my Nephew got 3rd in the Master class and I got 5th (I sucked at this race )
Deceptive pic as to the conditions of this race. It was a dust bowl, but all the camera people were hiding near the creek to avoid it haha. I got a flat rear about 7-8 miles in which sucked, ended up 10th in class. This was a brand new filter plus a pre filter on it.
Why u runnin a battery gotsa? Watch ya subframe where seat rubs on it can see it wearin into it. I zip tied old inner tube over subframe rails to stop a hole wearin right thru
Battery is just for the lights. Subframe has been that way for quite a while. I'll weld it up if it wears through.
Isn't yours a WR so can run lights straight off ignition/stator? Lovely lookin chocolate sponge cake u whipped up there too!
It is a WR. I like my lights to work even if the bike isn't running. The battery does charge off of the bike though.
Another pic from the same guy, this is just before dropping in to the creek. If you look real close you can see part of my home made skid plate hanging off on the stator side. It didn't make it to the end of the race. Back to the drawing board I guess.
ECEA Crooked Creek Hare Scramble 10/2 near Wellsboro Pa. 7+ mile loop on an awesome farm property. Some grass track and some great woods. It had rained for days; the woods were great but the fields were nasty! Just could not keep the front end straight in the dragon shit… Tires really loaded up! Got the hole shot and came thru 1st on first lap but lost major time in the grass track sections (which I usually love). Anyway, 2nd at the end, but beat the ones I needed too… B Super Senior class Link to results… http://www.moto-tally.com/ECEA/ECEA/Results.aspx Got 2 races left - link to Points... http://www.moto-tally.com/ECEA/ECEA/Standings.aspx Dan Morton Photo This is the kind of race it was...

Worst kind of mud - "grass composite muck" GCM for short - Don't let that stuff become even a little bit dry. You'll have an adobe encrusted bike!
That's packed in there pretty good! They ran you guys through some nasty mess I've put a bike through that kind of stuff a few times. You just about have to take the bike completely apart to really get it cleaned afterward.
Indeed. Time for a full tear down. It's always fun but the cleanup after sucks. Especially once it dries. One of the first weekends I rode my new te300 the clay out here was so thick I had to stop quite a few times and scrape it out from between the forks cause the wheel wouldn't spin anymore. Every crevice on that bike was caked.
