[QUOTE="Porkchop, post: 1377139, member: 22923"] Hey foxforks-ruler, OK I know, by your standards the weather was warm, the temp was +38 f,........... at the ranch (elevation, 4000 ft.) with periodic freezing rain/snow squalls intermitantly blowing thru. The traction was perfect in most places,too much in some places due to lack of nitrous boost system on bike, (what I mean is power robbing, too much water in decomposed granite makes it either too sloppy or loamy). Some places the dirt was like wet concrete, great to power thru but it makes rocks & boulders greasy slick, easy to deflect or bounce off of, compromising various amounts of control here or there. At one series of rock steps I stalled ,went to step of on a large inclined surface of a boulder, slipped off my foot, getting it hooked in the rear wheel well. My foot was the only thing stopping me from rolling off about a 6-7 foot drop into a bush below, there I was trying to get my foot unstuck & not having much luck with it when my good pal ken pulled up to here me requesting some help. He kindly leaned my bike to the left a bit & wham! Off the rock I went into the bush below, but landed feet first, thank you Ken & god! No injuries to me or the bike, infact the bike never even fell over during all this nonsense. I hiked back up to the crf450x, thru a leg over it & we continued our way back to his ranch, sorry about the envy, I can't help out with your weather, you will have to bring Tesla back to life for that one. Tesla had devised methods of influencing the jet stream using huge high powered plasma arrays that produced an arc 1-2 miles high whilst introducing various elemental concoctions into the arc, go figure? I'm a So. Cal native so that makes me absolutely clueless about the winters you must deal with on a day to day basis. You guys in the east have my full respect regarding winter survival. Our weather is good most of the year, which spoils us. In '05 we took a drive in Jan. to Cour D' Lane, Idaho to check the place out in the dead of winter, it was & is an awesome town, but gets too cold for too long year in & year out. Imagine that......... 3100 miles of driving, visiting friends & family at 4 locations, our boys sledding adventure of a life time, great sight seeing, 28 days away total, only to figure out why we put up with all the non-sense & live in the south west............... GOOD WEATHER MOST OF THE YEAR ! ( but what do I know?) ;) Best Regards, Porkchop [/QUOTE]
