DRZ400E Supermoto

with 2 comments

Just about ready for the 2012 RaceSMX series here in San Diego. After taking 1st place overall in the Street Legal class in 2011, I sold the DR650 and bought a DRZ400E and will race in the 400 Amateur class with my good buddy Wally, the 2011 400 Amateur class overall winner . Here’s a picture of us after we collected our trophies at the recent awards ceremony. In the middle is my tire sponsor, Mike from Full Throttle Power Sports out of Santee , CA.

Phil, Mike, and Wally

Wally and I recently took our 400′s to Apex and played around. Our bikes are identical in performance, so whoever looses the most weight will probably win the series next year between he and I.

I just had new racing slicks installed, a fork brace, the proper front wheel spacers, and some nice foot pegs.

Just back from getting new shoes! Bridgestone Slicks!

 

Other side...

 

Watch out Wally!

 

Can't wait to heat these up and see how they grip!

Stay tuned for further reports. I have 2GoPro video cameras now, so will have a front and back view.
