Byrd on 2 Wheels

Guest Post: Byrd on Two Wheels

My guest for my blog, is Mr. Ben Byrd. He is enthusiastic about motorcycles and his passion led him to race them as a hobby and he is here to tell his story and give his advice to anyone who would want to do the same thing.

I'm Bennie Byrd and I've been drag racing motorcycles since 1990. I've been riding a motorcycle since the age 19. I have a big passion for bikes and working on them. I have two bikes that I race, 2000 Hayabusa and 2008 Hayabusa. Now for anyone that's interested in getting into the sport motocross or drag racing, here's a couple of points. 

1) Racing hinges off of the amount of money you want to spend. The faster you go the more it cost. 

2) You will need safety gear:

•  leather suit, boots, 
• helmet, gloves. 

Those are the two main items for now.

But again the down side for someone starting out is getting everything you need to get started (monetary side of it).
