Kawasaki KX450 at Glen Helen Raceway: Chasing Gordon

Another fun moto day at Glen Helen Raceway. Decided to sneak in a Tuesday ride before the Weatherman’s predicted storms, which actually materialized. Soaking SoCal, it was good to get out before many of the tracks were underwater. I’ve learned more from unsuccessfully chasing Glen Helen legends like Gordon Ward and Doug Dubach than most riders learn from years of lessons: On and off the track, Gentlemen like these are simply old school cool.
