**********************************************

It's on !!!

Thanks to PlaceLast for keeping hope alive, a few of us are going to Moab again this year for a few days of camping, riding, drinking, good eats, and lots of tall tales (Scar Tissue will be there!!!). :boss:

As of now, it's me, PlaceLast, Scar, and a buddy of PlaceLast's. We are still working on Thumbs and 2Strok4fun. KelsoRat has decided he would rather spend time with his wife and children. :p

We did this trip in 2009 around spring break and it was absolutely fantastic. PlaceLast was a great tour guide as usual (remember the hugely well-attended Gorman group ride he planned back in the day?), the campground had hot showers, and the weather was perfect.

I am psyched for this one!

Now - let's discuss.

I thought you were coming down to SoCal to show us how to jump? :ride:

 

[the Eel]

The only jumping I do these days is when my boss or my girlfriend say "Jump!"

I hope you are doing well! All good here.

 

[Bonehead]

Is this a stag run or a family ride?

 

[the Eel]

Bonehead - just the guys this time.

 

[placelast]

Eel-er: need to put a shock spring on the Husky for you. What is on your Husky? Stock (5.2) or ?

 

[the Eel]

I'm not really sure. I weigh 193 naked.

 

[placelast]

Um...you're grown; now put this robe on.

 

[the Eel]

194 with the robe.

 

[the Eel]

(sound of crickets)

 

[holeshot]

Too many visuals..... :whoa:

 

[the Eel]

Holeshot - are you tripping again?

 

[scar tissue]

Last time was a blast. Looking forward to it again. :ride:

 

[2strok4fun]

You would make a great partisan journalist.

Conveniently leaving out all of the dialogue that occurred in-between, and thereby completely changing the otherwise innocent context of our statements which, in hindsight, now appear rather ill-advised due to your thoroughly sinister cutting and pasting.

I just have one thing to say to you: "Well done!!"

 

[2strok4fun]

Hey, it was a lob.

LMFAO, wiping away tears :laugh:

I am sorry I am missing this ride. I miss all you guys!

 

[the Eel]

We miss you, too. No chance of making it?

Anyway, I see you did us all proud with your results in the 2011 enduro series. 4 transfers?! You're gonna get a red stripe soon! Very cool. That must be very satisfying.

 

[2strok4fun]

No chance, I am up to my eyeballs in deadlines. The non performance penalties would be a death blow.

Thanx, but no x-fers this year, I prolly wont race until Fall. Missing some good events.

 

[thumbs]

Well, I have never ridden in Moab. I'm self employed so I don't have to ask for time off. You guys are going on my B-day. My wife is cool with it and I miss you hanging with you guys.

With that said I'M IN!

Should I bring a fishing pole?

BTW - I went to the dark side. Got one with a plate and magic button. :yeehaw:

Husky TE310

 

[the Eel]

And the crowd cheered!

That is great news.

BTW, wow, that is one sweet ride.

 

[placelast]

That's no so dark after all, so...OOPS! my file is too large to attach. You will have to wait until April 10th (surprise, surprise. Hint/teaser: teach this old dog new trix.)

Okay; let's try this:

 

[the Eel]

Huskies sure are purty. :cool:

 

[kelsorat]

Tony, that is an awesome purchase

 

[scar tissue]

Moab, can't wait. it was awesome last time. Looks like 70 degree days. Perfect for riding.
8 day count down.
