Bike too old to ride the Baja 1000? Maybe not...

    This is a pic from last year, sorry it's not a Husky but it finished, unlike three of the four Husky's entered. Anybody up to putting a Husky up front this year?

    If I had brass balls it would be very helpfull -

    They would work wonders as my wife would have a much harder time time trying to crush them as she explained why she would rather I NOT try riding 1000 miles on any of my vintage dirt bikes ....

    Apart from that I am 100% up for it :)

    When I stopped entering bikes for this section it cost $35 for an enduro post entery and $17 for a turkey run with no suprise parking donation. What portion of the folks who wander around this portion of the internet would be comfortable with $1000 entry fees?

    Maybe somebody or entity who can call it a business expense sees it differently.

    Yow! They need some vintage prices to go with that race.

    I remember having to shell out 20 whole bucks to race the Elsinore Grand Prix in 1972, and I thought that was outrageous for an event like that. It was bad enough having to pay 5 bucks for the regular weekend MX races.:busted:

    It's not so much a race as an adventure. A traveling circus racing down the peninsula for three days with overnight stops in some of the most beautiful places baja has to offer. I think of it as a vacation on wheels, what could be better :applause:
