It's not that I think your bike can't handle it cause it always has. I honestly just felt really bad that you didn't get to race and I'd hate to see that happen again on 2/22.

Ive got some GoPro of the first half of my race, I just need to figure out how to edit and publish to youtube. It was awesome seeing you guys out there, wish I could have caught up to you more, busy where we had family racing almost evey race.

If I had all the dollars, yes it would be, but even then I don't know if it would fit all my needs.
I'm pretty set, if I have to replace it, on a newer 450 with a Rekluse.
I don't mind kicking it, aand rekluse would save me the weight of battery and starter and keep me from stalling it in these insane races.

Thanks for the super fun weekend! Racing was an intense and crazy physically demanding but worth it! That sand/silt was incredible, I'm going to have nightmares about it.
Stratton, hope its an easy fix. I'm pretty sure you would have torn up the rest of the race, you definitely would have beat Tyson
Can't wait to see video/pictures

I am going to edit the part of me passing James into a small :30 segment.

Yep, just when I'm feeling good about myself passing a bunch of riders, Paul passes me like I'm standing still.

Paul, you make it look like there was no 12" silt/sand. Not fair!

Momentum and balance are key to not wasting energy in deep sand. When you are sitting on the bike, your body moves with the bike and you are fighting with your upper body to get it back into position....when you are standing, the bike can move underneath you and you can keep your body mass centered over path of travel and use your whole body weight to keep things in line. I rarely am sitting on the bike....even on "smooth" and fast sections or even corners. If you are not fighting the bike, you are not wasting energy.

Sorry
Congrats on the 3rd place! We should have gone to the rewards so you could stand on the podium. Yeah I lucked out on the oil thing. It was probably from one of the dozen times I had to pick the bike up. I've never seen an oil level sight glass break, it looks like its glass but I would think they would use polycarbonate or something with more impact toughness.

Love the video Stratton, I kinda tear'd up their at the end when the WR took its last breath, with the somber music in the back ground that was great.
