Dan Reardon settled and ready to race -ozzy go- fullnoise.com.au

Reardon riding for the Sobe/No Fear/Samsung/ Honda team will make his
debut ride on US soil after arriving in America 7 weeks ago , he will then
contest the AMA SX and MX events in 2008.

After wrapping up the 2007 SX and MX championships in Australia, Reardon
headed to the US to settle into the team environment, get familiar with the
new bike and adapt to the American lifestyle.

"Adapting to the US lifestyle has been the biggest challenge" said Reardon.
"Racing is racing and different bikes and different tracks is part of it, but
having to adapt to a different country has been the challenge.

Dan looked comfortable at the wheel of his shiny, big, black pick-up truck,
which he and his crew patriotically maintain that "it's a ute", when I caught
up with him earlier in the week.

I joined Dan at a couple of test tracks including the Honda factory test track
in the local Southern California area where he finalised some last minute
testing and practice before he heads towards Las Vegas.

"I've adjusted to the Honda no problems".

"You have to ride the 250's a bit different to the the big bikes, you can get
a bit lazy on the 450's but the Honda 250F is great and is working well"

Dan has surrounded himself in the US with some familiar faces to help with
the personal adjustment and to keep things close to as they were with his
successful Aussie racing season. full story on fullnoise.com.au
