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).
