Firebirds Hare N' Hound, May 2023

[@yumaxr]

Loos like a fun day of racing! I love the more open higher speed courses. I grew up on these types of races in District 38. Good times! Love to hear you make that pinger sing!

Great ride - Thanks

My last race at 62 years old was north of Delta, put on by the Firebirds. Had a great time except for that crazy hill nobody could get up. Think I won my class, I was the only one in it! 🤣

Woah. Super important to get the hole shot with that dust at those speeds. Its definitely an equalizer though, spreading out the pack

[@TeamWatsons]

So rad! Why are you going so fast!!?

[@snowbrosforever]

looks fun!

O yaaxx

My very first race was Firebirds on a 2002 KTM 520 exc. Didn't go super well but I was hooked. Those were fun times!

[@ridewithmike962]

I remember that. That was my first year as well. Good times.

Awesome, awesome riding Mike! I've been following Josh Since around 2018, I've seen your races in the past but is it just me or are you getting much, much faster? Your eyesight must be superb. Just great to follow along with you. Thank you for taking the time to record your race and keeping your goggles clear. What can we do to get Josh to carry an extended battery pack? He used to but lately....? Must be a reason. P.S. I've been falling in love with Utah because of Ride with the Knights races. Beautiful, gorgeous landscapes.

Thanks for the comments and I'm really glad you enjoy the race footage from the Knight crew. I don't know that I'm getting any faster, but I admit that I'm really enjoying this new bike. It's ironic that you say what you do about eyesight. I literally can't do anything without "readers" these days, but fortunately I don't need readers for reading motorcycle terrain (although you would probably laugh if I told you I carry readers in my fanny pack). I'll put a bug in Josh's ear about wearing an extended battery pack. He likes to record in 4K and he bought the Enduro pack which has better longevity, but definitely won't record a 2-4 hour race. I have an auxiliary battery jerry-rigged to the back of my helmet with a power cord running to the camera so it allows me to get about 3 hours of record time. We're fortunate to live where we do in Utah.

How you have gotten faster with age blows my mind! You have Huevos the size of my brainless 18 year old. Honestly, your videos are going to be responsible for many old man injuries in the future as we all see how fast you are going and we are going to think that is still possible for us. LOL J/K Great vid! Keep shredding!!

[@ridewithmike962]

I've been accused of being more like a brainless 18 year old more than once by my wife :)

[@jedediahhardman8303]

Good old mike is for sure like fine wine. The 20 minute mark is FLYING. Good on you my friend.

Finally someone who can actually ride a bike! I have been searching for a vid on this bike and every muppet with a go pro is trying to tell me about it. Waste of time. All I want to see is the bike getting pushed. My wife thanks you as she was getting sick of me screaming at muppets to open the fucken thing up. Having watched this I want the 250 not the 300. Cheers! P.S The ground looks risky as fuck to go full send on. I get why you were being careful so to would I.
