Good Times Racing is Ready for 2025
Good Times Racing, a dynamic force in the motorcycle racing community, has been making waves with their innovative spirit and dedication to the sport. Founded by Rich Silva, the team has consistently pushed the boundaries of what's possible on two wheels, particularly in the realm of desert racing.
The "Bajarley" Sportster Enduro
One of Good Times Racing's standout projects is the "Bajarley," a 1995 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 transformed into a formidable desert racer. This ambitious endeavor began as a conversation between Rich and a friend about participating in The Mint 400, one of the most challenging off-road races. With support from his friend and the fabrication expertise of Jim Bandelin, the team drew inspiration from pioneers like Biltwell's "Frijole 883" and other Hooligan desert racers.

The "Bajarley" features a CRF450 front end with Race Tech internals, a Scotts Performance steering stabilizer, and a custom rear suspension setup designed to handle the rigors of desert terrain. This build exemplifies Good Times Racing's commitment to blending classic motorcycle aesthetics with modern performance enhancements.
The Mint 400 and Biltwell 100 Races
Good Times Racing has showcased their ability in prominent events like The Mint 400 and the Biltwell 100. The Mint 400, often dubbed "The Great American Off-Road Race," is a grueling test of endurance and skill, attracting top competitors from around the world. Participating in such a prestigious event underscores the team's dedication and the "Bajarley's" capabilities. Good Times will be participating in this year's Mint 400 in Las Vegas, March 5th-9th.
The Biltwell 100, another significant event on the off-road racing calendar, offers a unique challenge with its rugged desert courses. Good Times Racing's involvement in this race highlights their versatility and commitment to engaging with the broader motorcycle racing community.
