John Ellis makes his own luck

John Ellis gave up racing and retired for his spouse, Ms. Jan, an integral part of a great team effort.

Yamaha YZ450FX

First impression of Yamaha’s closed-course off-road bike

The YZ450FX engine has tons of power and lots of torque that work great in both high- and low-speed riding conditions. In tighter areas where the speeds are slower, the low first gear makes the engine very controllable and difficult to stall, but is understandably very short, making it only useful in tight single-track.
