Although on our test unit I found the ride quality and seating less than comfortable, by comparison it was pure bliss.Īnd a worthy reward after a hard-fought day in the dirt.

Comparatively, climbing into the Silverado LTZ at day’s end for the long drive back to SoCal is like an unexpected serving of smooth, tasty crème brûlée after a meal of rocks, dirt clods and sand. They’re loud, vibrate like a supercharged paint shaker, the suspension is at best just adequate and the brakes lack both power and feel. Specialists in the trial bike with more than two decades of experience. I like to call vintage two-stroke MX bikes the cruelest and most medieval devices money can buy. In my experience, karting or car racing work the upper arms more but the lower arms, hands and legs way less.

The post-races physical assessment: worked shoulders and forearms, “monkey butt” (don’t ask) and ringing ears, despite the earplugs. As well, 25 or so motocross laps at speed are plenty to tax the body. Regardless, two seconds and two wins results in two class overalls: Not a bad weekend.
