Good Times, Not Lap Times. The '23 Biltwell 100
So you wanna race in the desert at the Biltwell 100? ....Well, here's what to expect.
Otto and the Biltwell crew almost over deliver on their motto for this race: "Good Times not Lap Times." The Biltwell 100 is hands down becoming my favorite motorcycle event of the year. The race features entry classes to fit nearly ANY rider, from expert to hooligan, vintage, to "if you can make it run you can race it." Heck, I even ran a lap this year.
For my first ever desert race entry, I fueled up my '84 YAMAHA XT600 and gave it a go as a 'Vintage Mono Shock' entry. Admittedly, I took it pretty easy this time around, fully embracing the races motto. But, now that I've broken the ice and have a general idea what's involved in running such a race, I'm already plotting my path to full glory next year - inspired by some of the riding I witnessed out there.
Good friends. Good times. Smiles for miles.
Can't wait to see y'all again next year.
