2019 Dirtbag Challenge

#1 Post by kpke » Sun Aug 04, 2019 9:38 am

The 2019 Dirtbag Challenge Is August 25th

Let me know if you are interested in group riding up.

I am an just observer of the event, not a participant. I don't know where the final destination is just yet.


From last year 11/11/18

Sure wish I could participate. Or, at least go there to hang and check out the bikes.

One of our members named Julian builds a crazy Dirtbag bike almost every year.

I don't really give a shit about the location. The people are bike lovers and the bikes are a hoot. Most of the contestants are excellent fabricators.

Can't be doing massive burnouts in downtown. Location looks perfect to me.

Nice first post there HOJO. Glad to have you on board. :smt098

The place is a shit hole but who the fuck cares. It's a spectator sport for me and there is some interesting bikes and "activities" that take place every year.

Happy New Year :smt041

Smoker, did Julian build an RZ, or maybe an RD Daytona, with a hub-center front end once upon a time? Seems like I remember reading about something like that at a db challenge years ago.

His screen name elsewhere is FORKLESS. :smt023

Hub-center front end bike, next to a more recent Dirtbag bike.
