Hi everyone,
Today Jeff and I slept in until 10:30 Swedish time (1:30 am home time). Jeff felt pretty good but I felt like a truck had run me over. No alcohol was involved! We went out today and tested our race bikes at a place called Nyberget. It was good to get out and ride, though both of us felt we had never been on a motorcycle before. The YZ360 is certainly different than my YZ250. Both bikes ran great and only minor changes will be needed before the race this weekend. I couldn't believe this one, but there also some freestyle ramps set up near the track. Jeff and I took a look... For about two seconds!!! Could you imagine the horror on Leif's face if we would have taken a fifth gear run at one of those ramps!!!
Tomorrow we're going to take a trip out to Arne Kring's home to see his motorcycle collection then do a little shopping in a town called Falun.
Leif also taught us a new word today.... Rovhol... We have no idea (yes we do!) what it means but Leif told us to say this to our compeitition on the starting line and smile... a lot...
The picture of Jeff and I in front of the Sergels torg fountains was taken yesterday while in Stockholm. The motorcycle pictures are from todays practice session.
That's all for now....
Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're both having a great time. Remember your representing all of America, make us proud! And stay away from the free style jumps Jeff.
I passed the written test, with a 98. Now I just have to pass the riding test tomorrow. It was about 96 degrees on the test course today and it's supposed to be hotter tomorrow:-)
How's the weather their?
Enjoy your adventure.

ReplyDelete( ROVHOL ) :)
Sounds like fun times besides the sleep deprevation hahaha.
ReplyDeleteDallas, the lower picture has a ton of rocks. Was this a new track? Or just newly dozed. Looks like it could use a track work-party or a handful of kids and pay them a nickel or rock or something.......wait a minute. Who is paying these kids? Looks like you are enjoying yourself. Don't bring home any Swedish dirt embedded into your forarms ;) Take care, Ray
