I always like to see guys racing the big bore, heavy four strokes. It's not like you aren't aware of the modern bikes, it's almost like this 87 XR600 found you! Awesome video of a timeless trusty machine. Scott Summers, and Johnny Campbell would be proud, and that says a whole lot!
Even if you uploaded a "how to recover from a jacked up elbow" video I would so watch it. Even a "what I plan to do with the 600r" video where you jist sit down and talk about mods. That would be so dope. I'm glad you're putting yourself first too, a lot of other people would just "tough it out" and make everything worse. Love your stuff Gabe.
Congrats for just finishing. People don't understand the stress riding that long puts on your body and your brain. I'm 55 yrs old and these races put me in shock for several days. BTW, I'm riding the Husky you pass on the uphill at the start of your race video.
People definitely don't realize it. When I was big into cross country mountain biking, we went to a discussion by the people that had been studying the effects on the brain of hours and hours of racing. They found it actually took days for the brain to fully reset back to normal operation. Crazy how much brain function must be taking place to keep everything from the bike (or moto) to the body working as one process.
Good to see you up to the challenge of the Ol’ XR600R’s...You have inspired me to dust off my 92 XR628R that I retired some 20 years ago when it started throwing me around more than I was the bike. If you can get to where you feel comfortably in control of that thing...so can I...said the 60yo dude. Helps to be 6’2” 210lbs too...
You killed it out there dude! Sorry that you are having issues with your elbow, but I am excited to see what you come up with in terms of content. It was freaking awesome to be out there on the track with you on what I think were the two oldest bikes in the race. If you are still interested in doing the 10 hour with us, we would love to have you as part of the team!
I started riding XRs in East Africa and ended up sliding into doucheville somehow spending tons of money on new fancy stuff that I felt and feel disconnected from. My best motorcycle memories are linked to old school bikes and riding on a budget. I just moved back to the region (Uganda) with a brand new expensive as fuck 2021 FE501 and a lot of fancy bits for it. While I was waiting for it to arrive, I came across a bone stock 1997 Honda XR250R Baja. I am having more fun riding this thing than any new bike I have ridden in recent memory. Keeping it and selling the Husky. Thanks Gabe, for the inspiration to go back to my roots and snap out of the shinyshinynewfarkleblowmoneylikeamoron trance. You rock.
Hey, Gabe!!! I ain't "God's Answer to Dirt Bike Racers", but raced for nearly 40 years until knee replacement(s) sorta forced me into Trials competitions and trail riding/racing with friends. So take my advice with a grain of salt. Yeah, "Size" can matter sometimes, but sometimes a smaller bike, that doesn't try to rip your arms off with every twist of the throttle, might be a bit easier to take for 6, 10, 12, or 24 hrs. solo. One of the worst things I ever did for my Vet class moto racing was to sell my trusty '99 Yamaha YZ250 to buy a buddy's '06 YZ450F. Finish positions went down, crashes and maintenance costs went up. And it didn't help my Rheumatoid Arthritis either (TRULY appreciate your vid on that!!) at all; I felt more sore after a weekend of Vet racing the 450F than I ever had before with the lighter, "dumbed-down-with-a-flywheel-weight" 2-stroke. The "soreness for 4+ days after a weekend race" really SUCKED. But getting into Trials, with a 160 lb. bike, kept me ridin. Maybe this could help you? I wanna see back in the saddle, and kickin' ass, Buddy!!! Wishin' you the best, and wantin' to help!
My neighbor had that same bike when I was a kid. Dude could ride. The bike was a beast. Game me a ride on the back once. He could ride it in 3 feet of water with a giant wave/water pocket going over our heads. He could ride near vertical shale rock cliffs, wheelie around turns, everything. He rode since he was 4 years old. Still one of the most impressive real-life riders and bikes I've seen to this day. RIP Art Cross.
Good job, the XR 600 is a tank, honestly 17 out of 49, shows you how good of a rider you really are! Your riding a bike that’s 30 year old technology great job man!
Awesome video and a great motorcycle! I had a 1986 Honda XR600R (Clementine) that I bought in 1996. It was bored out, had an aftermarket higher compression piston (10:1 I think), was rejetted and had a Supertrap exhaust... It was fast! I live in Tucson Arizona, that motorcycle was perfectly suited for the desert, that's for sure! We used to go to the outskirts of Tucson, there was a long winding sandy wash road that went back into the mountains on governmental land where everybody went riding, we would race for probably about 1/2 mile through several turns and several long straightaways... I smoked all of my friends on Clementine! Great memories!
What a majestic sight, seeing that XR flying and powersliding like crazy. Good that you are positive about pausing racing for some time, health is the most important thingy. Can't wait to see your future projects, I am really REALLY excited about that stuff going on.
Wow man, still such an awesome job on such a heavy bike. Much respect, and thanks for inspiring me ro ride dirt bikes again!!! Your KDX200 VIDEO changed my life. THANK YOU!
I used to ride an XR600R in harescrambles. There is for certain a process you have to complete to start that thing. Bump it just beyond TDC on the compression stroke and then kick the hell out of it. With practice I was able to get it to start first kick on dead engine starts. Look forward to seeing more videos.
Dude that was a great ride!! i've rode the big bore XR's since the mid eighties. just remember that is a horse of a bike and alot to handle, they will give you a hell of a workout. I'm 56 now and those heavyweights are getting a little hard on me and i just switched to a 98 kdx 200.Now I'm having to get used to a much lighter bike and change my riding habits accordingly. Good luck and keep up the good work you are one hell of a great rider !!!
17th place with an old thumper and messed up elbow is hugely impressive. You still freaking killed it and it was awesome seeing everyone's stickers on the bike.
Your start line get away reminded me of the time I borrowed my brothers XR and spent 30 minutes in the parking lot trying to kick it. Started, eventually.
Your content is among my favourite on YT. Take time to fix your body etc, and whatever you decide to publish I'm excited to watch it! My plan last summer was to come down from Alberta to do the 6 or maybe 10 hour race this spring but then the Kung Flu happened...Maybe next year.

First i bought a kdx 220 specifically because of your review/ thoughts on the kdx 200 and it is my favorite bike i have ever owned so.... thank you. 2nd..... if you were hanging out with rockymountainatvmc Bros does that mean you're a local utah bro. I dont ride desert much but i will say hi if i ever catch up to you 🤙🙃
Injuries suck man. Reminds me of a harescramble I tried to do when I injured my knee and wound up making it worse. Jumped off the side of my truck after a ride and damaged the patella tendon. The only thing that stopped my race was a flat. Else it might have gone catastrophic. Awesome ride none the less. Those old fire breathers command respect.
Gotta LOVE how you're passing top of the line huskies and KTMs like they're standing. Proof that you don''t need to spend 10k+ to have fun or even to be quick
Nice work man!! Glad to meet you at the race! You’ll come back stronger and faster! In times like these you have to realize that not a lot of people get to do this type of awesomeness and you should feel lucky. Watching your 1st 6hr video gave me the motivation to race Glen Helen and it’s bucket list stuff for sure. What an awesome ride! Get well soon and I’ll see you at another event!
Great job regardless. Have to get my XR600 back together after it slipped the cam chain :-( Love that you raced with the sidestand still on :-) Heal up and get that elbow sorted or it will plague you for a long time.
Really enjoying your videos 👍 On one of your videos you said “embrace the suck “ I love it ! that’s what I’m going to tell my kids the next time they complain about life.
Great job and great vid man. Well done! As for your elbow go out and buy a TENS machine. It’s a very low cost low voltage therapy device. It helped me recover from a chronic shoulder pain, it may help you out as well. Look forward to more vids! XRs forever!!!
Love this video. Sorry for your elbow... I DO NOT know how to ride off road bikes but I want to learn. So kudos to you for your skillset. That track looked like a lot of fun.

This is the first time on your tub. I’m old as fuck and you got me back many years ago when I road a -83 Husqvarna 510 TE. A heavy enduro bike with big heat issues regarding ignition. Husqvarna made several changes to the ignition the following years, and finally got it to work. The big old thumpers takes a lot of work to bee fast. But you got the riding skills so this will be great follow, respekt man🙏🏻
Great ride man , im 58 and have lost about 1/3 of range of motion in my r elbow due to bike injuries and now unoperable arthritis. Definitely get it repaired if possible
Good to hear, I’d like to hear some bike setup/ conditioning setup. I’m 6’4” and have high bars, 2” rox risers, +1” inch seat, and fast way lowered and rear foot pegs on a ‘13 KTM 300 xc. I recently played little with clickers and thought it was better than my original setup, but for shits n giggles threw it all back to stock settings and felt better than ever lol. Oh well at least I have something to blame for being slow
I had an 87 xr 600 that I had turned into a 628 by XR's Only put cr500 forks on it and had the rear shock re-done. What a fire breathing monster. Awesome bike! I moto crossed it. Talk about a hole shot.
This man is a certified bad ass I had a 96 xr250r and I couldn't see riding it for 6 hours lite riding. Let alone riding a 600 on a hard ass track in a race
I pitted for the winner of the Iron Man class, everytime you went around I pointed out to my boys that the XR was still going. I still have my 85 XR600 that smokes them in the desert so there's some jealousy going on.

Dude top 20 is great out of 40 and that track was brutal even on a 2021 bike and I ended up 5th in 450int
Awesome job on the xr600r!
As long as you get back to racing once you’re healed up!
That bike is so punk rock! I love it!
Love the videos no matter what you put in the vids if its old bikes going fast I'm in
I pitted for the winner of the Iron Man class, everytime you went around I pointed out to my boys that the XR was still going. I still have my 85 XR600 that smokes them in the desert so there's some jealousy going on.
You're the man!
