wonder if our klx's could handle that.

 

IMO no defence is needed. Still part KLX and off road rider. Keep on posting.

 

You still running the rekluse?

 

Nooo!!! Dude. You can keep posting here. (or could you at least link to your race reports?) Your 450EXC rocks! I know we all enjoy reading about your adventures on it. Well, except for a few sour apples I guess. BTW, thanks for posting this report. It makes good entertainment for us bike junkies, we'll take all of it we can get.

 

A few minutes after you got the bike unstuck off that root you took a ****ter then got the bike up. Did you A. let it fall to the other side or B. throw down on the other side? I had to chuckle a bit there. Could definately tell you were whipped but still had to laugh some..........Sorry

 

YES! I'm loving the rekluse.

 

C. Neither - that was not intentional. My intent after standing that pig up from the downhill side of the off camber, using just about my last bit of blood sugar, was to keep it balanced with one hand while I walked behind to the uphill side so I could throw a leg over and get going again. But as it worked out, the f'er tipped and fell over in the other direction! I felt like Larry, Mo, and Curly all in one. As you can see in the vid, I said f' it, and took a little rest break and drank some gatorade from the camel back. lol Sometimes you just have to recognize when you're beaten and give up before you really get hurt. I think I was at about that point.

But I'm hard headed and a slow learner, so I kept going. Trust me, Lap 2 gets worse. haha

 

lol...drama on on a klx thread...only looked at the last page.

I think its funny "expert" riders own one

Pinging Iowa ..

I think hare scrambles are tough .... but wtf do I know.

 

At least read the first page, dude, lots of pikchurs. Almost everyone likes those.

Hare scrambles - I've only done a handful, but I've loved each one. Yes, they are hard! But in a good way, in a way that you will remember for a long time. I really need to be in better shape to be doing very many of these things, they are a cardio work-out way worse than P90X. And if you drop your bike a lot and have to pick it up like I did this past race, and get stuck in the mud a few times and have to wrestle it out of that thick tar mud, you will wishing you spent more time in the weight room, too.

 

Agreed... Please keep the ride reports coming, we all enjoy them. You've moved on from the KLX but your experience with it is very relevent to this forum.
