I took my 1997 Africa Twin 750 on a local enduro race in Hanoi Vietnam. I got the bike stuck in the mud on the practice lap, but eventually got it hauled out. Our team Dirt Town had Clint win the semipro on his XR250. I was in a 5man relay race, and was able to shove that heavy bike through the race. We had a good time despite the heat, however I don't think that I will take that Beautiful Africa Twin to a race again. It would be a bad day if I smashed that exquisite classic bike up in a race.
