    This is a great vid. Local fast guy and talented vid producer Gary makes a great vid. These are local guys riding big bikes in a 24hr race. I know a few of these crazys. Fun watch.

    Cool video and good race, but I will never understand the "big bike" thing. Why would you choose to do a race like this on those bikes? You'd be faster, probably safer, and do less work on a regular size bike.

    I am definitely planning on doing this race though!

    they smoked a lot of regular bike teams. They do it because they can. Theres an ironman class too, thats even more crazy IMHO. As for doing the race do it, one of the best spectacles and experiences ever. Fun race.

    Shoot. That would have been brilliant to watch or ride in. What a cracker of an idea. Love to know the deminimus engine size.

    I'd love to do that race. I want to do my local Hare Scarmbles on a Terra :)

    I've raced a few local scrambles on my 610, and in the right terrain it gives up very little to the WR in terms of lap times (and I like passing people on a bike with blinkers, after using my horn to get them to move :lol:) . However, it takes more work, and in a 24 hour race, that can add up.

    Why do people like those extreme enduros? Anything that pushes people to their limits is interesting even it's some crazy 24hr race on 700 pound bike :)
