    sounds like a great plan, and i bet the geometry changes will really help. mine had a really smooth easy starting mill..
    going for years unchanged is kind of a yamaha thing...the warrior, blaster, and banshee were the same way.

    thats pretty awesome your daughter is liking riding..i think thats the best thing a dad could hope for..

    Agree...first official Jack Pine winner was Oscar Lenz in 1923...but Lansing M/C club members say the event really got it's start back in the late 1910's...

    My understanding is the Jack Pine and Sandy Lane had more interruptions- longest run without interruption. The elders in the club were always quick to point this out but... That record could have changed as the Newark enduro died, what 3 years ago?

    It way longer than 3 years ago now. ABB took it over one year, but it wasn't the Newark anymore. It might be 6 or 7 years since last Newark.

    Jack Pine has been run continually since 1923 and only missed 1942, 1943, 1944 and 1945 for WWII. WCMC was founded in 1928, 5 years after the Jack Pine started running, so I think the elders embellished a little Pete.

    Total respect for MMC and Sandy Lane, but they are the Junior enduro partner to Lansing Motorcycle Club and the Jack Pine. 2017 Jack Pine will be the 92nd run, by the the same club since 1923 and they only skipped 4 years for WWII.

    The 75th was a great celebration with a number of vintage bikes entered in the enduro.
    BTW, if you look at the photo gallery...the 3 older gents...all are Sandy Lane champs.
    1. Most will recognize John Penton
    2. Perhaps many will recognize Charley Stapleford...ECEA icon that STILL rides enduros
    3. The fellow in the blue jacket is Gene Esposito from Brooklyn NY, 64 and 65 winner on a Triumph 500.
