| Keithsburg,Illinois, Sandy Oaks. First of all, the bike is everything I thought it would be. I got on the bike and rode and the bike washed out the front end in the whoops, clickers where 11 out,to soft. I changed to 7 clicks and tire pressure to 12 psi. That worked. Bike handles alot better. This place is all deep sand, nothing but of continuous deep whoops. Bike tracks very smooth and straight all day after adjustments. I never set sag yet, but seems fine. I will do that for next ride. Tight sections where easy to steer thru, alot better than my 450 every did. I am going to a MX track on Sunday as long as weather holds out and will get to jump the bike and see how it does on a track. Power was very good all thru even with stock gearing. Rode most day in 3rd gear. Most turns here are high berms thru the woods, so you can really go thru them quick. I only went down 2 times, so bike is used now.... |

| It was very crowded yesterday. Had to watch out at all intersections and in the beginning, people where going both directions. Dont know why they couldnt follow arrows for harescrambles race. But it was perfect all day. This was a last minute choice to go there, I was originally going to Taylorville. |
