2008 Blog
The year ended with a very nice trip to Florida. We stayed in the Boca/Del Rey Beach area at the Bianco's con-do "Toscana". Between the beach, pool, sun, eating and drinking way too much, we drove across Rt.75's Alligator Alley to visit Sally and Jim Bianco in the Naples area.
On the way back, halfway through Rt.75, I got a chance to ride in Florida for the first time. I found the "Seminole MX" track, and it had a bike rental, so all I had to do is bring my gear.
It was a perfect practice track because it was just like Southwick. Check out this video clip.
For Xmas Shannon got me the most super-awesome gift. The '09 Fox "Latinese" gear which I use for race day.
NOVEMBER:
Here's the crazy thing......I got 2 yes "two" brand new 2009 RM-Z450s!
A practice bike(PB) below and race bike(RB) totally set up for racing with all the newest modifications.
I've wanted 2 bikes ever since I found out all the top armatures and pro's have a PB and a RB.
I decided to have two bikes, when during a race pileup my rear break-line got tweaked and started leaking.
So, having a 2nd bike is like having a full parts store to use in my trailer!
Here is a list of mod.s on this PB:
OneIndustries- "TOUGHTEK" seat cover.
TSS Graphics kit.
Hour Meter.
High pressure 1.6 Radiator Cap.
Kenny step seat "cut down".
G2 aluminum 1/4 turn throttle tube.
ENGEN-ICE Coolant.
ProTaper EVO handle bars.
FACTORY CONNECTION- suspension setup.
ENGINE-ICE Coolant.
The only things missing from this PB are a Front break cover, black,
52t TAG sprocket, TCB- Total Control Braking Valve, orange and a Rekluse z-Start Pro clutch.
Here are the first pictures and a video clip of the PB.
APRIL:
Tony D's MX camp at "the Wick".
I only got the chance to race one MX race this year.
