Cahuilla Creek MX VET tracks new layout is freaking awesome!  And seeing DV12 chasing Marvin around on 2-strokes today was even awesomer!  Got to love MX!  MX had to be the only sport where everyday Joes get to mix it up with the heroes of the sport. And cheering for the Cobra while he putts around was just as fun too!

Yes it was. There was a very young Eli Tomac in it as well ripping an RM85.

I was there yesterday as well, and the new vet layout is pretty damn rad. It was BONKERS crowded, like too crowded to have fun.

Cahuilla Vet track is great for a 46 year old overweight and out of shape has been! I rode my YZ Monday at Pala (didn't ride much, set up was off haha) and Wednesday at Cahuilla... At the end of the day, I rode a few laps on Marv's 250 EFI. Here is what I wrote about it on my FB page:

"I got a lot of messages asking about the injected KTM 250…

1. I’ve never liked the feel of a KTM whenever I tried them. Felt boxy

2. Felt great on it right away with Marv’s bars & levers position

3. Handling was good. Very easy to turn compare to older KTMs I’ve tried

4. His bike had spring forks which felt plush and stiff enough for my 220lbs & speed. Not sure if I would've liked the air forks. Not a fan of those...

5. Engine was very linear on the bottom with good mid and great top. He has aftermarket pipe/silencer

6. The 2019 YZ250 has a bigger hit off the bottom but not as good mid/top

7. YZ250 chassis felt more rigid/choppy and the KTM felt smoother & more comfortable to ride

8. KTM brakes are very strong and not very progressive. Something I’ve always struggled with at first. Just something to get used to.

Overall, pleasantly surprised and almost make me want to jump into the dark side… But I don’t have the funds…"

It's fun to ride again. I didn't ride a track since November 2020. I rode in Moab in May 2022 with a rental KTM250 XC (?) but on trails. I might need to get in a minimum of shape if I want to ride often. I feel like I can ride ok but man, riding is tough haha

I love seeing DV post that he's been riding. It always bums me out when these great riders end their careers and seemingly want nothing to do with riding. We all ride or rode at one time just for the fun of it and it's great if a retired rider can find that again.
