I picked up a cherry 2004 CR250R. Decided I wanted to get back to my roots and ride 2T.
SO much fun, and a light bike. A bit of a re-learning curve getting back on the 2 smoker.

Still chipping away up in the novice class. Getting great starts with some holeshots, but still not hitting the top 5 which is my goal for my first year in the novice class. A podium would be nice.
But, I am very consistent and keeping within the top 10 finishes.

OK, so I got bumped from the beginner class to the novice class at the end of the 2014 race season. Bigger gate! 22 to 24 riders. I felt I was doing very well previously in the beginner class, consistent top 3 finishes and great starts with lots of holeshots.
Well, a different game in the novice class. These guys got their game faces on. I have been finishing at 50% on average. Starts getting better but still looking for a holeshot. The top 3 guys in my class are pretty fast, relatively speaking. I think they could hang with the intermediate class as their MyLaps lap times show that. But it forces me to step up my game.

I've been stepping up my training, working harder to get faster as I have just been bumped up from beginner to novice glass within the OTHG MC.
Looking forward to a new racing season with the club in 2015.

I picked up a new-to-me cherry 2012 CRF450R a few months ago. I spent some time getting it set up the way I like and have done several practice rides. I've raced the '12 2 times now with the OTHG club.
4 holeshots total, and two 2nd. overall finishes. with two wire-to-wire finishes. I'm stoked with my new CRF450R!

Finished doing winter maintenance on my 2005 CRF450R. Added a new FMF Q4 muffler and Power Bomb header. And of course I performed fluid changes, new tires and tubes, fork and shock oil changes. new air filter. And a ton of other items, all noted in my log book and hour meter.
