Well guys, I brought home another 2nd place trophy yesterday. That is 3 for 3-2nd place finishes with my new YFZ. I am not too happy as I got the holeshot again and led for 24 miles (3 laps) only to run out of energy and be passed down to 3rd. My Camel Pack-knock-off, broke during the first lap. I was unable to hydrate. Someone just after the scoring/start-finish line, was standing there with a bottle of Gatoraide on the 5th lap. I turned around and bummed what was left. After a couple of miles riding 1st-2nd gear just above idle doing everything I could to not puke, I got my mojo back and hammered down. The drink helped. I have my shocks dialed in and was able to hold it down and could see the 2nd and 1st place guys ahead. I finally caught up to 2nd place guy and was able to pass and finish 2nd.
I still owe a lot of gratitude to the DS for giving me the confidence through the woods. There was a couple of C riders on Ds's. I reminded me of me last two seasons. When I was crusing through the tight sections and the bark was chipped off on the bottoms of the trees, I figured it was from those DS's! LOL! I know I used to pinball through the trees.
Okay, just thought I'd share something.
Later

 

hey mud,

no fliuds is a sad excuse for a loss, get yourself together and stop it...

jk...nice job...im confused do you still ahve the ds and not race it or is it gone..cant remember

 

HA! I know I am a whoosy for running out of energy to go wide open. I was really mad at myself. My brain said go and my body laughed. But hydrating is key to longevity... well next to being in shape LOL!
I sold the DS and switched to the YFZ. I still like hanging around here in the Bomb forum, though. I know the brand is different but the fun factor is all the same.
The trophies have a motorcycle on them. I thought that was weak of the hosting club.

 

MOTORCYCLES.......that sucks

why not get the suzuki r 450...i think i like it

 

Same here, just insert Raptor for the YFZ.

Keep up the good work!

Nice job mudnuri.

 

Good job Mud.............but remember to switch back when Bomb starts selling the new model.
"follow no one" means 1st place obviously![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Thanks a lot.
Upon washing the other day, I found my left lower a arm caved in on the leading edge. Not enough to keep me from riding but it will have to be replaced before next race (weekend after next). I sure do remember like it was yesterday replacing my front end on my DS. 4 TIMES!! But each time I knew why it was bent. This bend is a surprise. I will replace and use guards from now on.
As far as switching back to a BRP... I know I said I would...but man! I love this thing! When BRP, er, if BRP gets into the sport part of ATV racing, I would love to be on one.
