Juans Trophy.jpg

It just goes to show the TTR250 can still be competitive in the hands of a good rider. Juan won the trophy in the under 600cc trail bike class. biggrin

See here and here

Here is a pic of our hero Juan Víctor Gómez Pérez  aboard his Raid about to head out onto the circuit to start the Time Trial :

I have only just found out about this and Juan has given me permission to post up some details.

This is what he says:

 

 

"Hello

For my part there is no problem to publish photos or whatever you want, but please make it clear that

1. I have been very lucky (I'm just an amateur)
2. Our dear TTR can not possibly compete with modern enduro, with a good driver.
3. If you can stand up to the maxitrails.4.gif4.gif

I do not want anyone to think I'm bragging about anything, but the truth is that I am very proud of the result
It is a rally of amateurs and I was lucky, nothing more ....
Very good was spent, leaving behind in the time trial some BMW GS ...6.gif

Everyone was astonished (Ohhhhh) I dared to participate in such an old bike, as "outdated" ..... but behaved like a champion,. In the overall time was in eighth place (so yes, the first places were modern enduro bikes that drew me a few minutes ...)

Thanks and regards
"

Well done Juan!!!!

Brian

Yes well done, thats quite something on an older bike. Just shows how good a bike they can be.
Was his TTR standard ? (engine wise).
