    Nice ride! We were on the same line N557s on the KTM. I got an absolute shit start and was dead last. Locked into a grove and chased the guy on the Yamaha (minute 16:15 on the vid) for probably 10 miles but just didn’t have the pace for him so I backed off and settled in. Finished 4th and got an AC separation for a trophy! See y a at the next one.

    well done! The fun part: once I saw you had the "S" on your helmet I was like "dang I should have made them work for it!" 😀but well, I was simply in survival mode on lap 1, I did slightly better on lap 2, was able to make a few passes, but only one was in our class. Def happy not to have made a 3rd lap! :-D Next one will be Washougal for me, I'm doing only the OMRA races this year...

    Hey Randy I was looking for you but couldn't find you! I had a blast! Not a lucky ride but well, I was in survival mode at the end. The last hill I got stuck again behind someone, I need to learn to look further ahead of me and react quickly.

    @dirt_rider I wasn't able to make this race. Had my daughter for the weekend and she didn't wanna camp and go to the races, especially in the rain. Ya looking ahead and keeping momentum is very helpful. You get 20' each side of the course so anytime someone stops, gets stuck or tips over you gotta go around without stopping. So helpful to keep moving, keep from getting stuck and stop log jams.

    Nice riding! How do you like that fold-up trailer? I’d be hauling 2 bikes from Tigard to Browns Camp with it.

  • @dirt_rider
    @dirt_rider8 ай бұрын

    oh you have good eyes! That's a '99 Kendon fold up trailer, so it's the older model with square tubing instead of round. It's supposed to be able to transport 2 Harleys, so it's an overkill for dirt bikes, but it works well. So far it's been great, no issues, folds nicely and takes up little space in the garage, basically you can store it against a wall, sticks out about 1.5 - 2 ft. I ended up removing the casters that are supposed to let you move it around, they don't really work well, once it's stood up it's hard to push it around. That's a minor design flaw imho, it has only 3 casters instead of 4, it's not a problem for me, since I can stand it up right in the spot without the need of moving it. I use the HomeDepot "Nite Ize" straps, so there's no risk of bikes unhooking during transport, I heard that may be an issue with the newer models with round tubing.
