[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1190174, member: 68872"] Speedymaniac/Bakemono: Have you actually riden an enduro? I would have said the same thing prior to Sunday. I love my 125 and if time doesn't matter I'll make two or three attempts to get up a hill without any problem. If I had done it right the first time I would have made it up the first time, but I definately need a running start and if I fail I somehow need to get my momentum back. My first realization that I needed more power was ~3 miles into the enduro. I had a master class rider on my same minute so I was basically just following him. We are riding in our minute, but early in it. We get to a hill and he goes about 3/4 the way up AND STOPS! Okay, there very well could be a checkpoint just over the brow of the hill, so he is killing 10 seconds or so. When the time is right he takes off, no problem. I am left there slipping the hell out of my clutch trying to get momentum up again. Fortunately there wasn't a checkpoint right there but I was a good 10 seconds behind him by the time I crested the hill. What really did me in was the skinny, rocky, sand wash that I was supposed to average 24 MPH in. I felt like a pinball, bouncing off all the boulders while I am bogging down in the soft sand. I think I lost over a minute in what was probably less than a mile because I just couldn't stay in the power band in 3rd gear and 2nd was too slow. Rod [/QUOTE]
