2026 Hooligan100 Lap1 Novice ADV Kove 800x Rally

First race on an ADV bike! Sent the Kove 800x Rally as hard as i could, missed the shift to 2nd, pegged the limiter three times and let the Tiger and the KLE 500 pass me. Settled into 3rd and battled through traffic (Hooligan Novice class Harley’s ) against a blue T7 for 3rd… got tired, let what ended up being the class winner by on a red/white T7 about 27min into lap 1. Shock faded early in lap 2, and was smoked by lap 3 start. I even ran into the pits and tried to hose it down with my camp shower to cool it off. No luck. Called it a day after lap 3 and started working the puts for my Expert ADV buddy and my Beginner ADv buddy who took 1st place on his Kove 800x Rally. 🫡 Huge thanks to all the Hooligan Novice riders who let us sneak by without a battle so we could keep dicing it up in our class.
