well it looks like we're calling this one off, at least I am for the time being. With losing a friend on thursday night I figured this would help out a little to get our minds off things but it looks like its going to be cold and sh!tty weather so I dont see us making it up there. Its still a possibility though just may get there later. SO we'll see I guess

Sorry to read about your friends passing. Paragon will be there when you're ready for it. Maybe you'll be ready for a fall ride in November?

Was his name Rich by any chance? We lost a co-worker Thursday night.

Yeah def be ready for a fall ride, I may even go up next weekend just to get some riding in, havent rode since last trip to paragon cause I been working so much and theres no where to ride around me anymore.

CO, Nah his name wasnt Rich, His name was Frank, i'm still not sure what happened, he was my age 25, and he passed away in his sleep. He doesnt do any drugs or anything so its kinda odd. He was a great sports player as well ao who knows. Sorry to hear about your co-worker as well. This is the 5th person I know who has passed away in the past year that I grew up with, not to sure what is going on with all this :(

JasonJ · Aug 27, 2006

Sorry to here about your bud Sic and CO. Ill be up at least one day over labor day weekend so maybe we can hook up?
Got home safe Sunday Morning. Great day of riding Sat but no one to ride with Sunday. Gordon did show up to let me know he was bagging it, LOL, somthing about going home to fix his KTMs computer :pissed: .
Ill save my detailed report for the ride report unless they just move this thread.

squeaky · Aug 27, 2006

Sorry Gary and Sick to hear about the passings - such terrible news.

A great weekend even with all the rain - we're home now and will post more later!

brpray · Aug 27, 2006

Hi Guys,

Just to say that the Long Island crew got home safe, and with a great day of riding who could ask for more. Me, just would have loved to have seen Mike do the mud dive.
Had a great ride myself with the KTM doing everything i asked it to do.

Great ride!

Had a great time as usual with all you guys and certainly can't complain about my campground accommodations. Had a really good time giving the new bike all I could take, cause I know it wanted more. Dave, Jason and Ray thanks for the awesome company. Looks like I'm going again this Thursay if anyone is interested.

JasonJ · Aug 28, 2006

Naa, Ill be up this week end with my girl for some easy trail riding.
Left to right, Bpray, NRB, RM guy, Squeek and Rooo. On Sunday, you could not even see the office trailer from this same spot!

Treejumper · Aug 28, 2006

Made it home saturday night just before the rain kicked in. It never stopped til late last night. I wondered how many people stayed to ride sunday, doesnt look like there was many takers.

RM_guy · Aug 28, 2006

That was a fun ride but I was blinded by rain and mud most of the time. The fog was a pain too.

I have to give it up to CRFguy. He rocked on that KTM of his (with the steering stabilizer...I think it had a stabilizer on it, I must have heard about it TEN THOUSAND TIMES!!!) His 65 mph jaunts down the trail lost me :ohmy:

I'm glad everyone made it home OK. Sick, sorry about the loss of your friend, we missed ya but understand.

...and where the heck was dklink? He missed out on the speedies! ..and the complete downpour Friday night. Cripes it feaking poured!!

sick 96 250 · Aug 28, 2006

did you guys get hit with major storms friday night while camping out? I know i got woke up at about 4:30am here with thunder that was shaking my house apart, high winds, and lightning that was just insane. All I could think about was imagine if I did make it up friday night like planned and had to deal with this stuff. I was crappin my pants indoors thinking my house was going to either fall apart or go up in flames from a lightning strike.

DaveRS575 · Aug 28, 2006

wow... sounds like regardless of the weather, a bunch of you made it out and had some fun.

It looks like I may be coming up this upcoming weekend (Labor Day weekend) for some fun in the sun.

Let me know if any of you are interested~!

CRFGuy · Aug 28, 2006

Hey Dave I'll be there for the weekend myself when are you planning on going. I was planning on Friday morning and staying through Sunday. I might try and hook up with Jason and ride somewhere other then Paragon as well. Jason you up for a day without the GF for a ride outside Paragon? if not the whole day maybe say half.

CRFGuy · Aug 28, 2006

Hey Did i mention the new steering stabilizer kicks ass? Oh yeah I seemed to have fixed the computer also. Looks like it was a bad ground in the wire harness

OK, that's it. Next time I see you I'm gonna drag you in the woods and beat the crap out of you and then steal that damn steering satabilizer right off that fancy schmancy new KTM of your :nener: :laugh:

I guess a stabilizer has just mooved to the top of my wish list. Maybe Santa will be nice to me ;)

Uhh, yeah, it freaking poured!!! The funny thing was, we were sitting around the fire watching the lightning storm off in the distance and if you looked straight up you could see the stars. I covered my tent with a big tarp and went to bed at around 11 and around 11:30 it started. At least it stopped by morning.

I was crappin my pants in my tent :nod: I slept through the first round of storms but woke up around 1:30 a.m. right when the second round of storms started to roll through - and I believe I wouldn't have slept until that storm was over except the rain lulled me back to sleep!

Looks like the weather from the south will be moving in sometime late Saturday night. Looks like it might be bad by sunday but I'm still going Friday and staying through the weekend unless the weather turns bad.
