Default KLX 250 on motocross track

went to a dirtbike track in red Bluff CA saturday. i have never rode on a track before so i thought i was gonna suck. to my surprise it went pretty well. started on there medium sized track for a couple hours and then got the hang of that. then went to the big boys track. by the end of the day i was jumpin the big 80 foot tabletop. felt really good even on the stock klx suspension. it was a great day and the bike performed well even with my kenda k270 50/50 tires and my 15/43 gearing =)

I didn't think our bikes were designed for this type of jumping. Sure brings back memories when I had my 1985 CR125. I sure miss that bike.

Take a look at mx bikes from the 70s or event eh 80s. The klx is worlds better than those were and we rode the snot out of them.

Good stuff! Riding the KLX like it should be ridden!

Wish I was near you, I'd like to try that track!

You rock! Yesterday I was watching the CMC races at Argyll MX (Argyllmx) down here in Dixon (not far from me in Fairfield, and not *that* far from you), wondering if my little KLX250s could hang on the Argyll track. Based on your riding, I guess it could. Now, if I could just ride like that How did it keep up with everybody else? Could I putt along in last place in the 40+ 250cc ultra-super-newbie class on it?

Shoot me a PM if you come down to ride @Argyll.

Here are my crappy pictures of the racing on Sunday @Argyll (taken from the bleachers which are next to the tabletop):
