1974 Honda CR125 Elsinore versus Modern Bikes at the 2023 Wild Boar GNCC race in Palatka, Florida.

This video is the start of my race and the first 2 miles of the GNCC event. Later in the lap, I ended up in one of those deep mud holes that everybody tells you to avoid, and I watered out the engine. If I had to do it over again, I would have installed sand tires, solid handguards, and probably went on a diet too. At 220lbs that little Honda Elsinore motor had a hard time launching me from the dead engine start. This '74 CR125 engine is probably the fastest one I ever built and once you get it going it really covers some ground in a hurry and the bike corners like a demon too. After drowning the motor, I finally got it running again with the help of a course official pulling me with his ATV. After that, I took an easy tour of the rest of the track that had to be the roughest terrain I ever seen in my life. I just enjoyed the Florida sunshine and tried to stay out of the way so that I didn't end up being a hood ornament on one of the flying expert riders. My friends and I had a great time at the GNCC and every person that worked the event was super nice and patient with my bucket list attempt of riding a 50-year-old motorcycle at a GNCC National.
