Sits nice and low!! How did you do at the TT race?

I finished last in both classes. First tt for me since Sept.2014. Its hard to get used to the track again my 85 ran great stock motor with 38 mill Keihin reed spacer. Im also running a Axcalbur plus 4 with 2 inch hub extentions. 13/38 gearing and a UPP case saver.We do 4-5 lap practice I think 6-8 heat and 10 lap main. It was nice being back .I chatted with Raffa ,Fred Morrell, Rich Lilly, Matt Kemp,The Briggs brothers. Met couple new guys. We had a guy there on a 85 Tecate realy sweet ride. He said it was beat to hell when he bought it.

When you throw a #81 on a 3 wheeler, that's a lot to live up too . Congrats on being back in the race scene. Stay safe and have fun!

The 200x has a plus six axle.And 20 inch nearly bald schredders wich would not break loose at all.It handles pretty well other than that.

I can ride, I can race and jump pretty damn good, but I get tired during laps; Gettin old! Big props to the guys that work full time and stay in great shape!

I haven't rode my track since last November because I've been rebuilding my Toy Hauler. On my racing trikes, all I've done is repaired the 200X headpipe and installed the X33 on the 350RX but haven't rode it since.

I'm far too busy and I can't lift weights anymore, (because both arms have severe tennis elbow), but I can do the cardio. I tried Tommy Copper and other types of copper infused sleeves but it just supports it a hair.

Anyhow, both you and I still love to get out there!!

I've gotta get moving or I won't be able to compete at Unadilla....

It was rough on the 52 year old body.lol. Myself,Matt Kemp,Fred Morrell and one other guy raced two classes.#81 is a popular # in racing.Mac Moore runs #81.I ran #81 on my 81 250 r back in the 80s.I would like to do Unadilla this year.

Couple other trikes from the race.Alan Pack #30.He told me this Tecate was trashed when he got it.It has complete restoration on it.Looks great out on the track.

Today I was going to get some jetting done on my 85 250r.When I pulled the bottom cap off to remove the jet there was no jet.Not even loose in the bottom of the carb.I called couple shops and found some.I bought a #168,#170 and #172. the carb is from a 91 cr 250 38 mill Keihin flat slide stock jet is #175.I dont know how it ran .It started and idled fine a little rich on bottom.I raced it two weekends ago trail rode it several times.Got me scratching my head lol.
