Thread: CT70 Race?

I want to go to one of these races such as the Big Bear Run or the Desert 100, but I want to try something shorter first Like a 20 mile or something. Any suggestions, Thanks

Get some saddle time near home, to work through any potential problems while they're little more than annoyances and to get familiar with the bike. 20 miles should be pretty easy to cover within a 3-4 mile radius. That way, even if you break something the worst thing that could happen is an hour's worth of pushing the bike home. Next, you want the engine completely broken-in and the carburetion, gearing, suspension etc all optimized. Then find your event, knowing what to expect from your finely-tuned/finely-honed machine and have at it.
