Ice Racing Anyone?

[MadXX]

and me finding a KX250 for sale cheap the other day... and I have been looking for something to play in the dirt with as well.

It must be an omen.  ;D

Playing is the most fun but for those that need the competition check out Sunset Tavern on Lake Koshkonong (Ft. Atkinson, WI).

They are looking at running oval track every Saturday night  and roadcourse every Sunday in Jan. and Feb. The roadcourse layout will change every week.

Sunset Tavern 902-563-5702.

     I have been to that location to watch (and video tape) a coworker ice racing there, it's fun to spectate even. He keeps trying to talk me into trying it, but I dont have a dirt bike and don't want to spend the cash right now. Maybe I will borrow one of his and give it a try this winter! ;D

If anyone needs an ice racer I have one.  I won't need it for a year after I move to florida...

Honda Ft500 Ascot.  Beats my friend's yz250 in a straight line.   It's a lot less 'twitchy' than a dirt bike also.

Got dirt tires/rims for it also.  And it falls very well...   ;D

[MadXX]

and how much would one of those be worth?  :D

[andy342]

bump---

I have my Ascot in the classifieds...  need the money...

[KBOlsen]

I want to try ice racing.  Unfortunately, when I suggested it to John, he threatened to move to Florida without me. :-/

No sense of adventure, that one! ;)

I guess I'll have to find a way to do it myself. :D

Don't worry about the "racing" part, Kim.  It's mostly about hard play time.  Keep in touch with me.  I usually ride down on Delavan Lake with the Stiles' family and the guys from Sportsmans' Park, my wonderful dealer sponsor.

I'd bet we could work something out to get you to try it.  

It's addictive.  We all ride on TTR125's, TTR90's, etc...

[andy342]

Why not stud up the TL?

A guy in my area runs an R1 on the ice.  I've heard about him a lot but never seen him personally.

[KBOlsen]

LOL, Andy!!  You don't know John - the poor TL can't even come out of the trailer without being under his watchful eye... he's kinda quirky that way.

I'm on my own with this new "adventure". 8) :D

I've got a blown up YZ80 in my garage.  If I fixed it, could I race it?  Would it be a decent bike for such an adventure?

[Super Dave]

They do work.  But, they are kind of harder to ride.  You won't have a race with a TTR cause you've probably got 20HP to a TTR's 10.  In a straight line it will be gone.  Won't keep up with a bigger bike because the ground clearance won't be there.  

You lay the bike over enough that the pegs fold up....even on big bikes like CR250's, etc.
