So, got invited to motocross in India.

It is suitably mad, nicely like "On any Sunday". I had fun, except the price of the event.

However, I was totally shite.

It was a little 2 stroke 135 with a very sharp powerband, knackered brakes and and a very low centre of gravity. And I am shit.

But the track was between (and round) coconut trees in deep sandy dirt, and I just couldn't work out how to take the corners where the power would stay on.

On a bigger bike or 4 stroke I'd have rear-end steered around them, and was kind of trying to do that on this one. But the power delivery was completely binary. On or off.

Any tips for what to do like?

I've never rode in dirt like that before so can't help... but I like the bike, what is it? Laughing
