At Budds Creek. Haven't ridden on a track in 4 years. So, I sure know how to pick the perfect bike to "ease" into it on.
Quarter throttle, leaps so far out ahead of a 2012 KX450F its not even funny, uphill.
Can't keep yourself far enough forward on the bike. Can't pull yourself forward with the bars because it'll just flip over backwards. So you have to pull yourself forward with your thighs. It's a weird motion. But if you ride the bike with your ass on the gas cap, and make sure you are pointed in the right direction before you hammer it, it is do-able. if you are slightly off axis, slightly crossrutted, and grab a handful, hope you brought a spare change of underoos.
I laughed the whole way around the track, in sheer terror and utter disbelief of what an 80hp motocross bike feels like. Makes a 250 feel like a spirited bicycle.
The best part, GOPro chase cam footage exists, and apparently, I about knocked the gopro off the top of the guys head with roost from 40 feet back coming out of a corner.
I'm still shaking. Nightmares. Cold sweats. Post traumatic stress disorder. That idling. pop pop pop pop pop pop. Twist right wrist, dislocate left shoulder.
