  • As desert races go, the NORRA Mexican 1000 is one of the more mild and fun events, IF you are in or on a proper off-road vehicle. A Harley Sportster isn’t a proper off-road vehicle no matter what you do to it, but we were determined to build and ride our little Milwaukee tractor from Ensenada to San Jose del Cabo. The hard way. The race takes place over five days and covers 1,000 miles (not kilometers!) of off-road terrain and another 300 on asphalt.

    First class. The narration parallels "On Any Sunday" or "The Endless Summer."

    I think it was a great idea perfectly executed! Check the cycle world archives, another private team took an 1100 sportster to Baja back around 1986. You guys rock!

    no way this thing tops out at 60... Enjoyed watching this, but would've loved to see some riding without commentary or music.

      Did you see the rear sprocket the put on it ?

    • @vector6977
      @vector6977 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      with that 100? tooth rear sprocket it is. usually you see that on stunt bikes.

      @timsalyers66 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      A 22/64 gear ratio ya 60 mph is screaming I bet lol

    Dude....they were racing HD 's back in 30's 40's and 50's and winning enduros.. but dude that sportster is 175lbs over weight, you'd have to bring back those racers from 1940 to run that thing. Other than that, that bike is cool...

    What kind of headlamp is that you have? Like brand# name anything to help me look for it online?

  • @hugieflhr03
    @hugieflhr03 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    With the recluse clutch, why did you use such a huge rear sprocket?

    • @joracer1
      @joracer1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Probably 22/55 they didn't want to cook the clutch with stock gearing..

    Of course a Harley Davidson can do it. Harley Davidson has been running strong for over 115+ years. Two WW, so of course a Harley Davidson can take NORRA.

    This is so epic! Met you guys at the Long Beach IMS show, heard about this, but had to watch. Learned so much. Friggin' gnarly being out there with buggies, etc... Great idea to have the straps on there to pull the bike up. We're racing the 1000 next year with a Harley (as you know) and root us on, check it out! Tony Gera is the rider, Jim Carducci built the bike... th-cam.com/video/OS5B0i7KSX8/w-d-xo.html Follow us online @michaelaccorsi @carduccidualsport @tonyg702. We'd really appreciate the support.
