French Hillclimb Champion Xavier Boutiton's KTM 990. The man and bike will be coming over to challenge the American's on home turf at the first 2 Rounds of the NAHA series at Carnegie and Glen Helen.
Yup, all the top Frenchie's made a change after getting their asses handed to them at the World Championship last year. Should be interesting, he's a good rider.

No, his is a stock 990 with whatever supercharger thing he has going (not sure) My bike is a 950 with some Factory porting from Austria and it's Hilborn Fuel injected on 50% Nitro. Same, but different.
That bike he is crashing is his Twin Engine 700cc Zabel. Yes, a 1400cc two stroke. I rode it a few years back. Didn't handle well with that large rear wheel though.
i seen my bro crash down a hillclimb and have his ass against the back of his helmet with a 500 holding his lips against a tree. the guy is 185lbs, + 6'4" of rubber
OUCH! And in local news for Oakdale "Cops are everywhere along with SWAT and everything else that has lights" I think some CRANK might have got the best of one of our locals and he decided to start shooting.... more to come
