This guy can ride a bike!!!

A thing of beauty!

Awesome, makes me want a 250

Pure music.

Does he race and any chance of him racing at the national level?

This is Kent Howerton's son, right?

Yes Kent's son & a good kid.

I remember watching him clear that Finnish line tabletop on a KLX 110!

He's always been fast & smooth.

No and no. From what I understand the kid has shown no interest in racing. Smart move on his part.

He is focusing on getting his college degree.

I remember hearing him running me down on my fire breathing 74 CR250 while he was on that KLX110. To add insult to injury, I was battling for the lead in the vintage class. I held the little shit off to the finish though! He must have been ten years old, maybe nine.

"Railing so hard, it might hurt your feelings"

im a fan of his already and i havent even watced the video yet.

He definitely hauls ass!

Does anyone know what track that is? Sure looks like a lot of fun. And yeah.....Kent's boy has some serious skills!

Cycle Ranch. Texas has some great tracks and amazing dirt.

Holy crap, what a vid. Will download as therapy when feeling blue. He makes that thing sound like a 125! Imagine being this fast and smooth, what a feeling... Asshole...

That's the Cycle Ranch. I've heard numerous stories of some of the carnage of parts he has gone through. I believe that was one reason they switched to a two stroke. He's not abusive, just has things break.

We truly are spoiled.

Almost makes me want a 2 stroke.......

The dirt looks kind of like a sandy type / red clay mix.....looks pretty "fluffy".....is that about right? We don't have dirt like that up here......sure wish we did.

Cycle Ranch has similar dirt to Swan MX Park in Tyler. Better elevation changes at Cycle Ranch. Raced Cycle Ranch once while it was misting rain. Holy $hit, talk about traction. Couldn't see worth a shit, but it didn't matter as I could do no wrong. Regardless of my poor skills, I was cornering on one wheel carrying the front through many of the turns. Amazing stuff when moist.

Kents kid is on a 2 stroke because of his last CRF250. I wish I would have save those photos. The cases exploded out the bottom. I doubt anything out of that engine could have been salvaged. Nasty.

When it's been disked , dragged and moist it's great. As it dries out it gets pretty baked and hardpacked.

from his fb

OUCH.

Doesn't look too bad.

My first thought...

I could fix it with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. I'll probably need about 10 quarts of anti-freeze as well, preferably Prestone.

Double Ouch.

Photos are truly "Photoshopped" as I have been told that Honda's never break.

Would that be a case were the bike is totalled? In the sense that it would cost more to fix the bike than it is worth?

honda's name and reliability went down the shitter as soon as they released their pigs

yep, cases are trash, you have to replace the entire engine, maybe not the trans but the way everything else looks, all its good for now is scrap aluminum or a boat anchor

Cycle Ranch near San Antonio prepped.





Swan MX Park in Tyler, Texas prepped.
