6th Annual Damn Yankee Dirt Rider’s Spring ride 6/16-18

[RM_guy]

The reservations at RedRidge are all set for the 16th and 17th. IS IT JUNE YET??!?!?!?

I was out riding yestreday and crashed pretty hard. I rolled backwards down into a 10 ft deep culvert and a rock and my head stopped me at the bottom. It folded my chin up into my chest and I can't move my neck to one side this morning. I saw it as good practice for Paragon :)

LET'S RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :ride:

 

[Papakeith]

I'll be there with probably two in tow. Or maybe I'll be in tow with two. three either way right?

 

[squeaky]

Rooster and I may have two more with us...not sure yet, but as soon as we know we'll post!

 

[RM_guy]

Bumpity bump bump bump! :)

Cool Dan! Did they ever fix any of the single track that they messed up with the new bypass around the pipeline?

 

[scooter1130]

That should be reopened before the June ride :ride:

 

[RM_guy]

ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!! IS IT JUNE YET?????? :ride:

 

[DaveRS575]

Just three weekends between now and then to get ready! ... Not counting this weekend! ;)

I'm putting the finishing touches on my bike this weekend, Heat cycling the new piston and rings, and dialing in the the new rear shock. Woo Hooo!!! I'm there!

OK, IF I make the spring ride because I dont go to Laconia Bike Week I am bringing a newbie. His name is Fro' and he will be riding the RM250 I just finished for him. He has not ridden in 10-15 years so he will get a quick education!

A newb on a RM250 is gonna get more than a quick education!

:ohmy:

30 Mins till June 1st! I was up last weekend had a good long ride, found some new areas that are very cool! I changed my fork seals and the front end is just not working for me right. I need a new front tire, and rear tire too. I dont know if I will get those on before the "spring" ride though, I just had to put parts and tires on my street bike. Ill have to see if I can re dial it in. Man I hate messing with stuff when its working good!

why didnt you just put nobbys on the street bike so they were interchangable?

Since when did you let a little thing like tires get in the way of you riding!!! :p

If you still need one, I have a decent spare rear tire with about 60-65% tread (It has at least a half season left in it) that you can have for free I'll bring it up Saturday for the ride if you need it. It's a Kenda Trackmaster, I think it's a 110/100-18. I can check that though if you want it. I don't have any spare tubes, but I'm sure we can figure out something between now and then.

What is the issue with the forks? What oil did you use in your forks? Heavier / Lighter?

 

[DaveRS575]

14 Days!!!!!!!!

I'm There! Looks like I might have as many os 5 additional riders with me as well!

Woo Hoooo!!!!!

(Is that pumped enough?)

 

[Papakeith]

I dunno sam, there might be mud at paragon.

You sure you want to ride there? you might get dirty!!!! :p

 

[JasonJ]

Yeah Ill take ya up on that tire Dave. The problem is I have not changed my tires in 3 years and It could have taken a set in 1 year :p . I used the Yamha fork oil type 01 specked in the book $22 a can from the dealder. It is thought to be a very light 5 wt oil and everything I read said not to try to substitude it. Maybe I just need some help trying to dial it in a bit more but I was happy with it last year before I took it apart even though it was leaking pretty bad :yikes:

 

[RM_guy]

:yeehaw: Less that 2 weeks away!!!! :)
