Re: 2009 Canadian Enduro Championship

If a Husaberg can make the extreme test without crashing we can too. :thumbsup: Working on the power of positive thinking. Who told those guys that they could use equipment to build the special tests ?? :lol: Actually, it doesn't look as bad as I thought it was going to be. Those teeter toters are ...

Nice pics, Mark. I don't remember seeing you out there I don't think, but hopefully you snagged one of me!

Porkies for me, though CG does look tempting, but too far of a trip.

Re: "I feel Wet"

WOW there is a lot of snow there. Studs? How did you make out getting around, look worse than it was?

The Porkies looks like it'll be the same deal tomorrow.

Re: 2009 Canadian Enduro Championship

Rick I had a WR400f with an FMF PowerCore 4 and it was embarassingly loud. I sold the bike years ago, but I still remember the headaches. And yes, I did repack it. I don't think it would possibly pass a 96 Db (is that correct) limit. FMF does make a quiet insert for that pipe that is affordable and...

I put CR9Es in my WR250F, that's what was in it from stock.

Re: 2009 Canadian Enduro Championship

Is there any way I can sound test my bike before hand (IE this week) so I know if it will pass or not, so I'm not scrambling to change exhaust at the race? 2007 WR450F FMF Powerbomb header and FMF Powercore 4 with a S/A. It's got a bark to it but definitely not as loud as many bikes I have heard. -R...

Re: Who Plans to race Penticton and/or Blairmore Enduros?

I will be at the Blairmore one for sure, it's a block away from my girlfriend's parents house. If you need to you can set up a tent in their backyard, if that is any help.

Re: Porkies XC

It really was a fun race. I was running top 10 in Junior for sure, passed a bunch of juniors and vets and was riding great, and then I had a spill right after the KTM geyser Mitch is talking about, and managed to bend the sludge out of my barkbuster and break my front brake lever off, and had to rid...

Re: Porkies XC

Well, the race still may run, but right now the porkies is SLICK. We ran the southwest loop and it was gnarly muddy and slick, still a bunch of snow in places as well. Didn't see any flags hardly at all, but they were there flagging I know for sure. If we get a nice week of weather it might be alrig...

Re: Chest protectors

They're really hot. I only wear mine when it's 8-10 degrees out or less. Warmer than that I use a regular plastic protector. The suit I have is a Thor Impact Rig SE, really nice, and offers great protection, and the kidney belt is a big plus as well. The chest protector I have is a Fox mid-line unit...

Re: Dancing Monkey - Cancelled

Clint Riviere was putting it on, but he is also one of the guys putting on the CEC enduro that is also being held in Crowsnest. Clint owns Riviere's Construction from Pincher Creek and I am sure he would be glad to have you help out for the CEC race. The Dancing Monkey race is 100% done and the ADR...
