Motorcycle racing is awesome, but sometimes it can take itself too seriously. The higher the stakes get, it seems, the more stressful and the less fun it can become. That’s where something like the U.K.’s DirtQuake festival comes in, where everyone who shows up is welcome to “run whatcha brung” in a number of classes, no matter what it is. Add in Guy Martin flogging his Krazy Horse chopper around a flat track, and a good time is practically guaranteed.
Martin recently shared some of the fun on his YouTube channel, with a dip into the 2017 event. By this point, Martin had already been competing in the class for a handful of years, all with varying results. As bike people already probably know, bikes with seriously raked out forks aren’t terribly easy to turn. That makes hustling them around a dirt track like this, even if you’re only turning in one direction, a special sort of challenge.
