First race on the 700xx
« on: November 20, 2009, 11:56:06 AM »
I raced my XX for the first time a couple weeks ago.  It was the Mid America Grand Prix Series in Hallett, OK  (Goldrush).  I raced the team event with my brother riding a 650 prarie.  A three hour cross country race.   It was a ten mile course with  two miles on the road track and the other eight in the woods and some smal MX sections.  The XX held up great for the most part,  Cutting it loose on the road course was really fun,  they had a radar out and I hit 70 mph up hill and still had some of fifth gear to go.   Anyway all went well with the bike,  I really wish Honda used better shocks for the front though.   I think some Elkas will do better.   We ended up twenty fifth,  my team mate couldnt seem to stay on his bike long enough to do any good.   "Stay thirsty my friends"
