Default Johny Walker at Romaniacs Prologue

This is way off topic, but I thought a few people would like to see this. Inspiration for next time you think a log is too big to cross on a bike...

Pfffft!!! What's the big deal? That looks like my morning commute on my KLX.

All I can say is WOW! on the way some of these guys ride dirt bikes. You could tell that many/most of these guys weren't even in the same galaxy in riding skill level with this fellow. Some of that man-made course looked like downright fun, but a good bit of it looked like getting all of your toes smashed with a ball peen hammer.

Well, if I had a TM-36 on my KLX I'd be commuting like that, too. I couldn't even imagine trying to stop in that tree stump section without twisting a knee and having a bike laying on me... If I could even get off the tarmac and get started into that section, I mean.

The crazy part is that the guys who are just sitting on their bikes waiting for it to all be over must be amazing riders in their own right, just to qualify for a race like this.

Of course, the craziest part is that Walker wasn't even the fastest guy on this course. Paul Bolton beat him.

They don't make enough tequila for me to do that.

Wow, pretty sick. I was impressed back in the day when I rode a lot and some of the old guys would bring a 2 x 4 and ride up it to load there bikes back in there trucks.
