Moto XXX Draws Help From the Privateer Ranks
The 2004 Season has been riddled with injuries and unexpected personnel
changes for the Moto XXX race team. Especially needy in the 125cc
class, the squad has recruited one of its privateer brothers in
a move that will prove to be mutually beneficial.
Dylan Lord, who runs #130, will join the team at the Troy, Ohio
round of the AMA Motocross Nationals and has already begun testing
his new Honda CRF250R with team staff. Even though the move constitutes
a mid-season switch from another motorcycle brand, Lord and the
Honda are getting acquainted quickly.
"I felt pretty comfortable on the Honda right away”, Lord
said after his first test session. “It’s easy to ride
and I don’t think we’ll need to do very much to get me
ready to race on it. The suspension was really good as soon as I
got on. After a few minor adjustments to the clickers, I was turning
very good lap times.”
Dylan Lord is 19 years old and in his second year of professional
competition. Hailing from Apple Valley, California, he spent the
winter living the hard core life of a privateer on the 125 West
Supercross circuit. The series was highlighted by three main event
appearances, but plagued by mechanical problems. Those mechanical
problems carried over into the summer’s outdoor season, but
are something that should be behind him now.
“I’m so happy to be joining Moto XXX” Dylan said.
“It’s been frustrating to have so many bike problems this
year. Now I’ll be on better, faster bikes that I know will
get me to the end of the races. I’m already confident in the
equipment and the team that will be at the races every weekend.
I can’t wait to get out there and ride now!”
Lord will join Matt Lalloz—who has decided to ride through
a knee injury—in the 125 class, while Kyle Lewis campaigns
the CRF450R in the 250cc class.
