We made it down to Sand Lake on Sunday. Got down there just after what was described as a "Monsoon" of a rainstorm had just passed. (We, fortunately, did not see it). Sand was nice and not all chopped up. And the sun stayed with us all day to darken all exposed skin and burned some (Mrs.DSsideup) [img]i/expressions/face*icon*small*wink.gif[/img]
But it was a great day of riding. Afterburner showed up to ride with his wicked fast ALBA sponsored Raptor minus the rocket booster. [img]i/expressions/face*icon*small*sad.gif[/img] I wanted to see that thing in person. But he spanked me good, even giving me a 6 bike length head start.[img]i/expressions/face*icon*small*blush.gif[/img] and he was 3 bikes ahead of me at*least at the top. (Got to be conservative on the distance to save face).
He was having some problems with his cylinder seal and was losing oil and compression. But he spanked everything out there, even some fast Powroll equipped 770cc Raptors. For those of you that have never seen this bike, it is a must. He has a good runner. Go to
Team Alba Motorsports and look at the video. Man, its cool without the afterburner on it.
Terry left having problems with the gasket and losing too much oil unfortunately. DSsideup and I went to shoot the trees and tease a few new KFX700 owners until they had tasted enough sand from our roost. Good clean competition always is fun. Thanks guys. It was fun!
We stayed until 7pm and were tired and hungry. Then off to dinner and the long 1*1/2 hour trip home. LOL.
Hope some of you make it next time.
