Title: Go Big? Or go home?
Post by: Alkire193 on September 15, 2009, 08:53:38 PM
Hey guys, I sold my old dual rate Custom Axis suspension today and the guy happened to be a 52 year old 450 rider. We talked a bunch about the GNCC ( East and Central US Enduro/ Cross Country Race) and it got me thinking. I finally got my overseas job in the works, so I might only be able to ride a few more times. I really want to race but im not sure if the bike will survive the Klotz Ironman thats coming up. I just got the 770 kit on, dyno tune this weekend or early next week. Ill be ready in time, but I haven't ridden in months because of the downtime on the bike. Should I really shoot for the mother-of-all-enduros? Or just wait until 2012 and come out strong in that series? I put it to you guys and girls. If I do the Ironman its going to be with two helmet cams front and back so we can all watch me struggle since im so out of shape.  :lol:
