DNA Raceway in SC. 60 plus expert, 60 plus intermediate and all age general.
I like riding my 125 against 450's. I'm feeling very good on it. I haven't been riding a 450 for most of the year, and frankly, I believe I'm having much more fun, although slower on it for sure!
Nearly pulled a holeshot, but got tangled going into the first corner.
Fun day.

First time ever at this facility. Nice red clay hardback. Some of the turns were loose, but overall a great experience. Going on over in the 60 plus class. 2024 Yamaha YZ 125 with a GET ignition, VHM head, 110 leaded gas. stock suspension. Haven't had to set the sag as it's right at 105. Bike is great when riding. I didn't even get my 450 out. #AMGear

      @@BrianMcNeill25 I like the 125. Thanks buddy! I go in phases. Old bikes, 125, 250 smoker, 450. But to be honest, I feel safer on the 125 than I do on the 450. I'm getting old and sometimes just have trouble shutting the throttle off going into a turn. Feels like the throttle hanging up on a carb. It's just scary cause a 450 goes over 60 mph in 3rd. They go from 15 to 60 in 3rd so easy. The 125, not so much as it doesn't pick up on low end and on top end your about pinned so if you hit a bump wrong it doesn't pick up 10mph just like that The 450? I'll pick my battles on it. You won't see me practicing on it but once in a great while in my backyard track. And that's a maybe.......

      @BrianMcNeill25 Yeah, it was a one time event. Lots of riders. All the old guys from GA and AL showed up. Billy Liles and I battled in the second moto till we kinds slid into each other and took ourselves out in a 2 lap race. Finished 3rd. It was so much fun. Lots of old national numbered guys to race. I wasn't even on the same lap as them 40 years ago. Now we are all peers! I had fun. Triumphs new 450 was there also. I should had a 450 but I still made that thing work. Took a lot of jetting.
