This sounds familiar to other stories I’ve heard. I recharged the battery, and it’s worked fine ever since. But … a trip through the bike to check bolts, connections and apply dielectric is a good idea. 🇮🇹!

The courses are pretty well marked with arrows, so roll chart not important for getting from a to b. Essential for time-keeping and a good score tho … enduros are a lot of fun. That’s what I keep telling myself.

The Beta 200 is close - it’s pretty refined, but pulls all the way to the tippy top.

Counterbalancer envy is real…

Which mounting?

@@activelyanime3394 So easy to do! Which group/session?

It's all state land. We (The Pathfinders) have our hands tied with new trail. We're not about to cut renegade trail and risk loosing our privileges for the entire forest. The trails were actually in pretty good condition this year even with the rain the night before.

I thought the trails were in very good condition - although I did skip five sections by accident 😬

Gonna be more rocks!

@@andrecontois8510 counting on it lol

They didn’t realize they were actually just building enduro trails over the very long term.

Weather looks perfect 👍 let me know if you want to borrow tire warmers.

According to my sherpa: “The app called Trailforks has the route already mapped out download the app and then just run the app and act like a GPS”

I think you would crush this terrain - especially later when fitness really gets tested.

@@eddielawsonjr.8705 we'll find out next year

@@nosyjoe I run a V33S, which I like. My buddy says: “I like the IRC. JX8 which is a full gummy that gives me a lot of confidence. I am running that now and really like it. ircmoto.com/collections/extreme-enduro/products/jx8-gekkota (ircmoto.com/collections/extreme-enduro/products/jx8-gekkota) The first gummy that I ran that was from IRC was the extreme Enduro model IX - 09 GEKKOTA which is for hard Enduro racing that was also pretty good but it wasn’t really good for high speed fire Rhodes. It was mainly for Off-road hard Enduro so when I was on the road, I was kind of nervous with that tire. ircmoto.com/collections/extreme-enduro/products/ix-09-gekkota (ircmoto.com/collections/extreme-enduro/products/ix-09-gekkota) JX8 is a good all-around choice.”

@@eddielawsonjr.8705 what front? I often run VE33S rear too

Boy, you ask a lot of questions! lol - I’m kidding. I have to go check. Not really sure what I use up front!

I was surprised - they look so unassuming!

lol - I like that angle! “I picked up my bike so many times, I deserve this beer.” And sticking it to the fitness club hegemony at the same time. You’re on to something here

I’m looking forward to going back and would definitely do a turkey run there 👍

Almost rode off one of those bridges - but maybe that only happens when you’re on the ride with us! Lol see you soon 👍

Many of us were just trying to survive! lol

Last year was a genuine fail for me - I didn’t eat or drink enough and paid the price! I ate more this year and did a little better. Still a serious ass whipping, though!

@@eddielawsonjr.8705 I love the KP Turkey Run (November). They don't make it as hard as the Enduro event, and I can finish it. Heading to the Hancock Quarry Run in August. That was a great two day event last year. Hoping the weather isn't tropical.

Little Rhody is this weekend - it’s going to be hot, but I’ve been prepping with Chinese food, beer and no exercise. Put me in, coach!

We had a blast! That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

@@davidmichael7422 it was a tough day! Amazing to see the fast guys ride it. Impressive.

“It’s easy” - the big lie

Tough course for me - I need to quit my job and train full time 😄

I hit the one 100 meters up the trail. Can’t fix stupid!

All those guys who passed me made it look pretty easy, but … it was tough.

Those guys were great for the three seconds we rode together!

@@LeuciRacing thank you - happy to hear that 👍

Appreciate that coming from you! Hope all is well up north.

Happy to hear the split screen works 👍 much easier than going full throttle, too.

Why not try a trackday?

@@eddielawsonjr.8705 got rid of all the crotch rockets, only Harley's and dirt bikes. Me and another x racer have been talking about racing again, we'll see

Check please

Two great bikes - very different. Where do you ride and what kind of riding ? We got the 200 plated 👍

@@eddielawsonjr.8705 very cool I don’t think I can get the 200 plated here in Oregon. Mostly woods and singletrack here. I think I would prefer the 200 on trails but there are many dual sport opportunities here. I am also pushing 53 yo so don’t know if I want to work so hard with shifting and clutch work. But I usually prefer light and nimble. Oh dear God such a difficult choice!

The 390 is magical - the weight falls away once the wheels are rolling, and it’s very nimble. The 200 is more work, but not too much more, and the two stroke isn’t really fun. Very light, too. The 200 is not great on road sections. Fine for 10 mins, but the 390 is a lot better.

@@eddielawsonjr.8705 thanks so much this is really helpful.

Glad you enjoyed it - that was a good day 👍

Can’t argue with results! 😂

Thanks for showing us the trail! Amazing. You don’t have to worry about me at future enduros. Just read the pie plates and slow down!

@@eddielawsonjr.8705 I burnt every check point but two 😣

@jmothers first you need to slow down, then you need to upgrade lol. Bad news for your fellow c super senior riders, I think you can only upgrade by winning the championship twice. Not sure about the rule, but I think that’s right.

The trees and the tree magnets are all in a very large conspiracy. I would call it a vast conspiracy, but I think that phrase has already been used. I asked Factory Connection to set me up for Enduro racing at a fast C Class old person pace. I gave them my weight, and they did the rest.

I haven’t seen any enforcement there - but I bet they would give you a hard time if you didn’t have a plate. If they saw you, that is. I suspect that if you don’t ride like a maniac on the road and parking area, you’re unlikely to draw that kind of attention.

That would be great! A weekend in late June or early July I think we are all around?

You are a lucky man!

@@eddielawsonjr.8705 nice video, I'll show u guys around anytime.

@@eddielawsonjr.8705 Nice video. I'll show u guys around anytime.

I think the pain affected his navigation- nice guy, though 🤠

Please don’t make excuses for this rodeo clown. Lol. 😆

These bikes are at least as complex and satisfying as a fine wine! Also: fewer calories.

I’m sworn to secrecy! Trails are incredible. Also seems like all of this will be developed into commercial and residential before too long. So each ride feels a little wistful.

It will be a challenge, but certainly doable. Probably even fun! Some parts will be tough. It’s hard enough on a 210# two stroke!

Good to hear - I think you just motivated me to finish the next video!

Glad you are enjoying (?). We need to do all kinds of riding! Including trials 👍

I bought a trials bike - step in the right direction.

Hahahaha! We just rewatched that video this week. I had forgotten all about that. No caution flag IIRC. Another reason not to ride at 100% at a trackday 👍. See you this season

Fun track - good for track days 👍
