Good Ride Sunday!

[Wolverine423]

Didn't want to hi-jack the MX indoor thread so I'm starting a new one.

Yes Sunday was a picture perfect day to ride with it snowing & blowing and snow covered tree's for some tunnel effect at times! I should have mounted the Trelleborgs but Sundays ride is unfortunately my last ride until spring so I figured what the hell knobbies are just find and the ground wouldn't be frozen yet anyways. I go in for a knee reconstruction {ACL replacement & MCL} this week Thursday as a result of mis fortune at the Harrison National in August. I'm really really bumm'n over this as I'm going to miss out also on the Ice bikes - snowmobiling and snowboarding with my boys. I'm not one to hanging around the house sitting on my azz doing nothing so I think this might be a little more un-enjoyable for my wife than myself! Thank gawd for gift cards & certificates :nod:

Best of luck with the procedure and a fast / full recovery.

I must concur, good ride yesterday. I was amazed how good the traction was without my snowtires. Thanks to everyone who rode upfront and broke the trail in. I must add I think I am finally getting this 2-stroke thing down. It was a lot of fun riding the 300. Good Luck DW.

Hey DW:
Now I know who left all those "off trail" excursion marks. We had lots of tracks to choose from - Larry and I never got started on the trail until 12:45 - Darn bike would not start - heck it was a balmy 17 degrees out there, it should have started with the summer 15x50 oil - right? NOPE, not a chance - I picked up lighter weight oil today to change before this coming weekend - I still have a sore foot from kicking (laugh).
Actually it was a fantastic ride (once we got going) - beautiful with all that snow - hanging down branches - like riding thru tunnels - one of the most scenic winter rides in recent memory.
Larry says he really likes the new 250SX - hard to judge suspension with those conditions but he said that he cannot find any fault (or complaint) so far - Stock jetting was even in the ball park - nice day to break in a new bike.

Almost forgot - GOOD LUCK with the surgery - heal fast!

Good luck with the knee job there DW. So how long is the recovery and when do you expect you can get back to riding?

 

[Wolverine423]

Thanks guys!

Katoom - I never ride "Off Trail" as that leads to a ticket.

bbarel - You know me what ever the doc says I'll work hard to cut it in half. I hope to show up at Roselawn In. in good conditioning....

DW I know you'll be ready! Good luck with the surgury.
I'm glad someone got a chance to ride while I was in Lansing setting up next years season : :yell:

 

[Don Marsh]

I also had a great ride Sunday I am really glad that I had a chance to ride before surgury. I almost forgot how callangeing it was to ride without studs of Trellborgs. I hope to ride again some time in Jan.

The "Nose Job" (sinus surgury) as TCT calls it went well. The Botox, enhancements & Lipo didn't go so well!!!!! :yikes:
I also am not one who sits around well. The Vicadin has me wired and unabile to sleep. I have already be reprimanded by the "Race Nazi" for not following orders. :p

Dunn- sorry you missed the ride but just know that your efforts are greatly appreiciated.

Oh come on and let me whine! ;) (By the way I noticed the time of your post, i hope you get some sleep.)
hell I can't keep up with you guys anyway,old man Don turned it up several notches this past year!
I'm hoping the sinus surgery causes an air dam to slow him down some :nener:
As for Wolverine he can still out ride me without getting on the bike.
The ONLY time I ride well is in these meetings!

The Double "D's " and I are now AMA certified in Sound testing for All Events.

Does that mean we now have to keep quiet?

 

[Don Marsh]

Naw, I think it means that they can tell us to keep quiet with authority!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cool:

 

[fatherandson]

I heard that "Lefty" and TCSpectator made the trip to this ride. I am sure they spent some time viewing the Trailfest video. Can not wait to see it!

 

[YZMAN400]

Yea that was a good time out there Sunday. Even though it was all snow covered I think that was one of the quickest times I have rode around there. I guess you make better time when you ride alone -vs- in a group :nener:

Cant wait for the next one :yeehaw:

 

[Wolverine423]

Thanks T Dunn for all your hard work :cool: I'll reward you with cold beer in spring!

:think:XCF= its nice to know I have friends in the sound check dept. Not that I would push the limitations or anything as that might lead to a ticket also....

HUM?? You must have found the ride after all I guess. You might not want to invite all your friends for the next one - more riders are not needed or we'll loose the ride. DNR showed up as we were loading to come home and asked if this was an organized event - it absolutely is not as that WILL cost us the ride if they deem it as an organized event of any kind.
There were kids riding 4 wheelers around the parking area with no helmets on - I guess they wrote the tickets for no ORV stickers on the Quads - they could have written them for much more.

That we did. Got my own signed copy. :nener: The cool part is you can tell people you filmed it and Cody did the editing. :laugh:

Rumor is that the DNR will be more actively seeking and enforcing this crud starting in 07.

What part of the State were you riding (west/south/east/north)? Would give us an idea which COs (which district) are starting first.

west side - north of Baldwin

 

[Wolverine423]

Please help me understand why the DNR considers a group of guys riding together an "organized event" requiring a fee and permit?

What is the criteria the DNR uses to determine this? Links to any DRN publications about this would help... (couldn't find any).

Please start a new thread on this subject as I don't want this ride in the spot light. Thanks

Yeah good thing my physical therapist is cute and has a nice bootie. Otherwise I might not have the same level of dedication to keep going to PT. :laugh:

 

[INCA]

Bret - You must go to therapy alone and Charlotte doesn't follow what goes on here.

 

[Smit-Dog]

.... A good wife is your best physical therapy...

 

[bbarel]

Don't worry Ted I'm just all talk.
Hmmm I'll have to check if Charlotte will help with my therapy...
