Fox Valley Ride Part Two Take Four!

[Chili]

Well as I mentioned in oldguys thread I shot less than anyone there with a camera but here are a few I did take and one of me by BigLou while he used my mkII.

The only person I spent any amount of time shooting at FVOR turned out to be Lou so here is a run of Lou shots!

 

[Chili]

Here's one of me taken by Lou, I think this one is an optical illusion as all my roost disappeared :laugh:

The we headed over to the Mendota County Fairgrounds for a Wardy promoted Megacross race where a bunch of folks in the DRN crew hit the starting line. Practice started in some nice late day sun and quickly faded to black of night, which made the shooting very challenging.

Here is Hunter the son of DRN member Wolf

Here's Nikki

BigLou shows he's not just a Pro practice rider and signed up to race

Wardy's oldest boy Travis. Thanks for all the hard work helping your Dad prep FVOR for us Travis!

Hunter just before his clutch let go on him

Reddog showing the +30 B class the fast way to the first turn :cool:

 

[Chili]

And lastly BigLou dealing with the immense pressure of trying to beat the Farmer looking dude on the Husky to the first turn ;)

That's all folks, no endless supply this time around :p

 

[biglou]

Very nice, Doug. Thanks for the shots. And I bet farmer guy was significantly warmer than I was!

i didn't know that nikki was on a honda. about time.

Great stuff Doug!! My favorite is the first one of Lou.... the background with the sweet berm, blue sky, and green trees really makes it pop for me! Well except for that two-stroke smoke... looks like Lew needs to re-jet LOL, although he will be EFI soon enough! Also like the one of Red's holeshot, nice capture! Ahh look how new Troy's bike was in that pic of you! So what did he think about the hour meter being on 5.1 when you got home? ;)

Yeah Jay.... I jumped ship to a Honda in '06. Red's been thumping since '01 and me since '02, both had red and blue bikes.... and go figure my '06 CRF is the only thumper we've ever had motor problems! :bang:

 

[biglou]

The two-stroke smoke looks like I'm not moving very fast, but it's prolly the vacuum I'm causing due to my incredible corner speed... :rotfl:

Yeah, what did Troy say? "Dangit dad, you and all your friends. Wreckin' my stuff!" lol!

 

[Chili]

I left his bike right at 5.0 on the nose, tried to guilt him by telling him I had to stop riding Friday early as I was past the amount of hours he allowed me, he shrugged and told me I should have picked up my 450 sooner :laugh:

 

[Wolf]

I would have let it idle in the trailer just to get the hours up....;)

 

[LEllis7motox]

Looks like fun... Just curious Chili how do you like the new kx450f?

 

[Chili]

Haven't ridden it yet, we are covered in snow likely until early April. This FVOR ride was my last chance for the season and the reason I had my sons 2009 KX250F as my 450 wasn't available yet.

 

[Wolf]

Snow Covered?

...no problem, eh?

 

[Chili]

Bah if I wanted to ride in -35 it would be on a sled with heated handgrips and seat :laugh:

 

[Wolf]

...I guess I'll "man up" without you :)

 

[OriginalRider]

Nice pics.Wish i could come riding with you.

 

[Chili]

...I guess I'll "man up" without you :)

If you're man upping, I'd definitely prefer it be without me :laugh:

 

[Chili]

Nice pics.Wish i could come riding with you.

Thanks, We'll be back at FVOR again next year hop in the truck and we'll see you there!
