- I was on CJ's Beta today due to the KTM still being down. I had about an hours ride time on it adjusting the suspension on the pipeline by the house, so it was a bit unfamiliar. After a 1st lap incendent I was still able to maintain 3rd place all day.
That hud display is cool!
thanks😁
Hay…I am following your lead. I bought one of Mike Hickman’s Beta 200 RR’s. Hope to see ya soon.
I was really please with the Beta, except for the seat! That thing is not made for us sit-down riders. And I have the "damage" to prove it....
I will be back on the KTM at the next race at Windwood farms. Hope you can make it.
@@mydirtbikestuff EVERYONE says Beta make the most uncomfortable seat in the business!!! (you'd think they would have addressed it by now although I've seen reviews where people say the latest model is not great, but better). It's designed for the young kids who never sit down! LOL
That's what I hear too. This bike has a Seat Concepts unit on it and it is supposed to be better.....butt.....
@@mydirtbikestuff looks like CJ got the Race seat. I did too, but I believe the Beta seat is better between the two. Both are rough on the rear end. I have ridden the Comfort by Seat Concepts and its way better.
All I can say is that thing " rubbed me raw":) I have the KTM high seat on the 350 and it is like sitting on a Lazy Boy. CJ is a stand-up rider and us older guys sit lots. He told me the factory seat was more harsh than the Seat Concepts.This is hopefully the one and only time I ride this bike because the KTM will be back running tomorrow. The Beta is a really great bike, but i did miss the 350 torque.
Great vid as always!!! What chest protector are you wearing? I have two really nice ones but want more shoulder & rib protection. Looking at some Alpine Stars. I have the Bionic Action which is just front and back, looking at the A 6 for $199 or the A 10 but that's a whopping $269!!!
Hi Bru, it is an old Troy Lee that is discontinued but I can't recall the model. I am like you and want the shoulder and rib protection and at the time this was the best I could find. It is past due for replacement and I am have the same issues as you trying to find something that will do what this does.
@@mydirtbikestuff Much appreciated! Yep, I just turned 57 a few weeks ago therefor we're close in age so I know you understand where I'm coming from with regards to protection. haha Like I said, I have two really nice CE 2 rated front and back protectors but then of course my ribs have started getting hit by tree branches, one time I fell with my ribs right on my handgrip as it was sticking up when the bike was lying on its side and my shoulder takes a beating on every fall. I even just started wearing elbow guards because I was riding that terrible "enduro" stuff and nearly shattered my elbow on a huge boulder. If they let me ride in an armor suit, I'd do it. My goal is this.....WHEN I fall down, I don't want to feel ANYTHING! LOLOLOLOLOL Keep up with the great videos!!! Looking forward to more shop vids!
I do understand.
@@mydirtbikestuff I wear a Leatt 6.5 chest protector and it has rib/side protection. I also wear elbow guards too. I like the TP199 version. It sure helped in the crash last weekend.
@@johnchafin3817 The Leatt stuff I have seen is pretty heavy. I will look at the 6.5. Thanks.
Yeah that was me that got taken out 21:53. Very unexpected.
We were trying to figure out who that was! We knew the other guy was Kenneth Graham. Hope you didn't get hurt too bad. I think Kenneth got pretty bruised up.
@@mydirtbikestuff tweaked my knee some but overall it wasn't to bad. I landed on him as he slid underneath me. I was able to finish the rest of the race.
@@johnchafin3817 Kenneth didn't finish. Injury takes us old guys a looong time to get over. At least we are getting into the summer break after next week.
@@mydirtbikestuff I would like to use a clip of your video showing the crash in my race video. Is that OK by you? Probably just 10 to 20 secs.
@@johnchafin3817 Sure John. Feel free to use whatever you need.
Yikes…Couple close calls!
that was fun, huh!?😁
😂have you. Got the horn or someone else
The Beta has a horn😁. I now know that the rule book actually says no horn... I knew AMA had that rule. I suppose if everybody had one it would be a cluster..
