Such a honor to build these two bike for such Motocross legends. Came to our shop in October. Started designing in January machining and making carbon molds in Febuary finished in June. Not bad 6 months from start to finish.

LIVE TRACKING
Go to this link to their position and speed. There's a transponder in the support van that follows them the entire route.

Look to the scroll down on the right of all the solo and team name, click on "Legends of the Road."

Yeah buddy, Micky and Jeff going thru first checkpoint lake henshaw in first place by 2 min 53 seconds. You have to choose a category and go to RAAM 4 person team then click on say brawley or which ever check point and it will tell you how they are doing against the competition. They are leading a team that is 18 to 49 years of age.

Nice touch - I love the AAR heritage with the blue and white trim on the nose.

The Legends of the Road are in third, just a half hour behind second place. Awesome, especially considering they're racing against 4-rider teams of all able-bodied riders!

Anyone know if they are selling those kits? Would love to pick one up, especially if any of it could help R2R.

Yes. Kits will be available through Elliel brand clothing out of SoCal after RAAM and yes, sales will benefit Road2Recovery.

Those guys are warriors man.

The body might be older but it's still the same heart in there.
