Sohc on the starting rollers...
« on: June 21, 2016, 08:07:02 AM »
Here is a few shots from the flat track school day..
 From the pits...
Jimmy rolled in on his knarley 650 sohc, so we put him to work starting.
Him and I did some laps on the track...that was fun..

First the weather, crazy clouds behind the church....

Jimmy could use some gear!

I just tried some flat tracking a month ago.  I was riding a small Yamaha (similar to a XR100) at my buddy's track on his ranch.  It was ridiculously fun.  It made me want to buy a small dirt bike.  Luckily I can ride a loaner when I visit.  I can't wait to do some more.
