Default Seattle Supercross

Heading out Tomorrow after work or Saturday Morning.
Also going to pick up a TTR-125L for my wife. A friend of ours is selling it, I got a good deal on it. And then hitting Levenworth on the way back. It should be a fun weekend.

Last Weekend I drove to Missoula MT with a friend and he bought a 09 KLX250S... Now I have someone to ride with. My Truck is getting a work out. 19.8 Miles Per Gallon with a truck that has 365 HorsePower and 420 FT/LBs of Torque, Love it! It will easily get 22-24 at 70 miles an hour on flat ground. Those mountain passes drop it though.

My son and I , and my buddy and his brother went up to the SX in Minneapolis last Saturday. the whole experience was very cool. Topped off by the great race for first at the end of the 450 main event. Just too bad Villopoto couldn't hold Dungey off. The hometown crowd lent some extra energy to Dungey.
If you take some empty Monster Energy cans , they will let you into the pits for free.

We went last year. Villopoto didn't even finish. We got into the pits last year with Monster Energy cans too.

Villipoto should have some home town ju-ju of his own out there in Seattle.
Have fun, sounds like a full weekend. You will be wore out by Monday morning.

Villopoto is still 25 points ahead. He got clipped pretty strong by Dungey the second time. Probably didn't want to chance losing big by an determined Dungey knocking him out. Played it smart.

Had a great time. It rained on and off but wasn’t too cold. The Track was slick for the first few races. Chad Reed did the same thing as Ryan Villopoto did last year…..Didn’t survive the first turn of the main. Our seats where way up, at least we didn’t get rained on.



Here is a picture of the TTR-125L I brought home, fun little bike. My wife had a TTR-125 about ten years ago and she hardly rode it. It was the smaller wheel version. The bigger wheels sure make it easier to ride. Plenty of torque to carry me up the hill climb I have behind my house. I have lots of trails on my property and I ride my Pit bike a lot. Now this one will be used for the same thing, just an extra one for my wife or Nephew.

I wish that there was a track like that near my house. That seems intimidating to me, but only because I've never done it. I still want to try it at least once, preferably without company on the track.
