Enduro and scramble riding is cool. Nice

Edit: it seems I need 15 posts to be allowed to post links or photos. I’m on 5. It appears I’m still on double secret probation��. I’ll keep the visual presentation suspense a bit longer…. YouTube Gingerman view 2021 and three videos will come up first. Saturday front view and Saturday rear view are both camera views of the same race.

FWIW, here is some video from Saturday’s Sportsman 750 race last weekend at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven Michigan.

Several classes race at the same time, scored separately. The video is from
my pal Matt’s bike. Newest GoPro Hero9 cameras front and back. I’ve partnered up with Matt in something of a sponsor/teammate role on a different bike of the same vintage and type(my race engine, my GoPros, I did the painting, random other $ support).

#64 is Matt’s uncle and 5 time class champion. Matt has been chasing uncle Jeff for 6 years now, getting faster and closer each year. And has take the win a few times himself. Saturday he beat him for the win(from behind), and you can see that uncle Jeff managed to overcook his front brake near the end of the race trying to get back around him and overshot a turn leading to a leisurely cross country escapade in the grass(but didn’t crash it ��)

There was a class of modern sport bikes that started in the first wave. You can see that Matt and Jeff passed nearly all of them. These are +/- 50 year old bikes but are heavily modified and lightened for racing. They are plenty fast.
