[QUOTE="ktmboy, post: 222315, member: 22559"] Hey, I tried to dragrace one of your 426s' up the sand hill (Holeshot), but he never heard me coming, and we had a tough go at the top trying to make that right / left combination past the bushes without running into each other. I know, Holeshot, you're gonna say you never would have down-shifted when I pulled along-side if you had known I was coming, but I did give you a good head start just to see if I could catch you! Thanks to desert_racer for allowing me to try out his 300: first time I ever got to try one! Bundy and Bulldog did a great job of trying to keep track of everyone, and the cold weather was actually a good thing at the pace we were all going. 89'er wasn't the only one to take soil samples, as several of us, (myself included) spent a little quality time on the ground or in the bushes/trees. Funny thing about scrub oaks---their branches are like claws that grab onto your bike and hang on so you can't just push back out, but must physically remove yourself from the bike and grab the rear frame rails and pull like heck! Bundys shortcuts made me wonder if somehow Kiwi had mysteriously appeared at the front to lead the ride. I was okay with that downhill one until I stopped right behind another rider and realized that the bush on my left side had my foot pinned to the footpeg. I couldn't get my foot off the peg, and had already started leaning in that direction, planning to put that foot down. Bush sample! I did a real good power slide too! 3rd gear, goosed it, and slid 20 yds. [B]on the ground! [/B] Funny part was that I bounced up onto the bike and was laying on it while it slid. As for no 2-smokers keeping up, well, every time I got close enough to the leaders, there was usually an orange 300 (desert_racer) shadowing Bundys' every move. As for the thumper riders---400s' and 426s' everywhere! I think the diehard award should go to 89ers' friend that snapped a pair of aluminum bars [B]in half, [/B] got them bolted back down enough to ride back to the truck, went into town and bought new bars, came back, mounted them, and re-joined the ride!:confused: :cool: Eel--I couldn't believe how fast you were moving on LTs' old thumper! LT---the GasGas is a really sweet looking machine! Glad I got to know you a little bit on this ride. Your taped interviews were very entertaining, and that was great that you wee able to help the Eel make the trip. Your GG looked right at home on the single track. Does anyone know who all showed up? I could have sworn someone counted 30 at the beginning. Tony, you're usually good at that stuff. AMinkman---glad you made it! It's always good to hook up with other locals. It was great seeing the 2 Placelast Jrs., and Elk Jr. out there: we gotta start breaking in this next generation of young riders right! I look forward to getting my young'un out soon. Jack---how's the ankle today? Well, I gotta get off---honey-dos' (I owe her for letting me go this close to X-mas when there's things to be done around here!) Ride safe! ktmboy. That's [I]boy [/I] to you 89er! Ha ha ha.:) [/QUOTE]
