Dirtcycles North - MX207

[a13x]

MX207 has some real doubles. I like that...

[-jro-]

do they have a kiddie track?

[Kurlon]

do they have a kiddie track?

Yes, and it's where I hit my first double!

Good little track, a little of everything, including a sand pit. BYOTT*

Man up. If I can survive, you can too. (Just dont ride a 2stroke. Either because youll hate it and not have fun, or B. youll make me look bad cause I couldnt ride it)

[a13x]

The mini-track at MX207 is cool.

[Paul_E_D]

Pitt, it's really not that hard to ride a 2stroke. You're whining like a bitch...

[Kurlon]

Back in the day, when minis were full sized bikes to me, I could operate a yz60?

Well I am a bitch, so umm yah.
No I really think if I had some time on it Id be fine, but trying to learn everything at once just wasnt working.

What bike did you ride? They can be frustrating when they aren't jetted correctly. I tried a friend's CR250 and couldn't really ride it for much. The on/off throttle response was anything but smooth. I would lean it over and crack the throttle and it would hesitate then just stand up and wheelie.

Pitty Thanks for manning up and going out when I got there ..... I know how nerved up the whole thing can be ..... I'm the guy who just about Hurrrls lunch just before an event .... but once I get out there it all goes away. Love the adrenaline RUSH

[Pittenger5]

What bike did you ride?

I was on HDs RM125 (I think thats what it is). I dunno, I just had too much to process at once, I would consider my riding as "unsafe" while I was out there, I kept stopping in corners (not on purpose obviously) and just couldnt keep the bike going predictably.

[lrrs313]

125s can be really hard to ride. Very narrow powerband, and if you drop below the powerband, you pretty much stop. Try a 250 2-smoke. Much broader power curve (not as broad as a four stroke, but a lot better than a 125). Just don't wind the shit out of it, you'll end up wearing it for a hat.

i think he hit it on the head richie, 2 strokes are a ton of fun but you just need to find what works. the wrong set up will make it miserable, the right set up, ...... so good.


and on winding the shit out of a 250. things can be scary fast but soooo much fun.

Are you going if/when this little event happens? If so I'll bring the Raptor, though it's been a couple years sense my last MX ride on 4wheels

absolutlely. there are some really nice jumps but everything can be rolled. you can take it easy or hit them as hard as you want.

if you're a beginner the only thing you need to worry about is keeping your line so the faster riders can make it around you.

its mainly the only track i ride. i absolutely love it.

here's a cheesy little vid of me out in the back section a few weeks ago.

Lies. It's sitting in my parent's shed. Wait.. I guess it's not ready, still gotta troubleshoot that noise. Do me a solid, ride it and tell me WTF it is, would ya?

[danny86]

For Wednesday it says

Wednesday Race practice. Structured classes with start gate and practice races in evening. (2) laps. Bikes only.

Does this mean they divide it into groups like beginner, expert, etc.. ?

[lrrs313]

Bump. It's August, anybody still interested in doing this?

[seth399]

yes sir

[RyanNicholson]

[lrrs313]

OK, so August seems to be pretty booked for people with the Southwick National on the 29th. What's September look like for everyone? Or are interested people not going to the National?

EDIT: MX207 has a race September 26. Other than that they seem to be open all month. And obviously Sept. 5-6 is out, as its an LRRS weekend.

[seth399]

I should be able to make it mid sept. then
