My DW update.

[michman]

Well it was good time. Here are some of the highlights. The motocross track was huge in my eyes but if you listen to our honorary MI spode Doug you just had to ride all the jumps in 4th gear. I still did not do to many of the jumps. The kids track was more fun and V-Man was the king there. We rode the 500 which stands for 500 acres that was about 5 miles away it was a great time ridng there I went there 4 time myself. There were 3 different loops and the red was by far the best with everything from rocks to red clay hard pack to sand, drop offs and some crazey hill that you need to ask Fred about I am still laughing at that one. To me this made DW for me as the riding goes since the track was big to say the least. The MI crew made the Night time poker run a little interesting for the people riding in it there seems to be a few extra's moons out that night and people jumping out from behind trees. Well my hats are of the FS and Fred T. the Harescramble the post a well deserved 5th and Mike was 2nd going into the woods on the start lap. Doug and I got 7th. The course did turn out to awesome with the help of MX bundy, TTR guy , Mully and a few other that I just can't think of now thanks guys. Bikes with lights class ithink we might have lostmFred to the motocross world. Our on Factory Freddy KTM.com Grabs the holeshot and leads the first couple of laps. It was a beautiful sight to say the least. Doug did use proud in the B calss with 7th overall his second ever moto race. I would like to that Fred for the awesome meals and laughs. Mike for being the big loveable guy that he is and his huge smile. Also his bike for running the entire time. Randy and Sally for being my sponsor yet again for our RV. Randy was also the the offical film guy. And yes he made it though with out getting hurt. Jeff is our offical Truespode and got the biggest trophy but no trophy girl. Thanks guys you all made this trip special in ways words can't explain and I am gald to say that you are all my friends.

The second trip to the 500 - my ankle is still hurts from the crash
Napper doing fork seal repairs
Riding the Cannondale on the Poker Run - chasing the lil' rooster
Meeting Double D (Doug from Cannondale)
Using a Chinese accent even if it was not politically correct - we go fast now!
The Hare Scrambles - goal was top 10 - finished 5th
Watch Fred on the MX track
Amazingly - the 20 hour trip to and from Cooperland is also a good memory. Thanks to Randy, Sally, Napper, Jeff and Fred.

I have found it amazing after returning to DRN when you read a post and can say - I met that guy at Dirt Week.
I hope our MI caravan is much larger next year!!!

 

[Papakeith]

It was great meeting all of you MI spodes, although I don't know that the title spode applies. I forgot about the visor. That was classic!
I'm now sporting a new CP thanks to michman!
I also got to try out a Cannondale.
I can't wait until next year.
Here's a shot of your camp

Thanks again for the bark busters Napper, they saved my hands plenty of times during the HS race. Just wish I could ride as good as you pumpkin guys do.

Jeff, you will need to paint the zuk to go faster in the woods. We had the orange paint with us last week. Thanks for sharing in the DW memories. Congratulations on the trophy and the new riding gear.
See you at Trail Fest!

I had a great time going to the 500 with you guys, thanks for taking Bart, Buddy(pro clean guy) and me. That made DW even better.

Oh and next year I'll try to keep my front end from comeing loose in the Bikes with lights class to give Factory Fred T a run for his money :)

See you guys soon....maybe at the Ironman GNCC?

 

[BadgerMan]

Glad to hear youz guys all made it home safely. It sounds like everyone had a great time! Can't wait to hear the rest of the stories and see the pictures/videos.

Dirt week in Michigan next year?

Mark, Andy, and myself had a stellar ride last Saturday at Baldwin. Perfect day......60 degrees and rain the night before. Man, I love this time of year!

Can't wait for Trailfest.

OKKX, Bundy, wheelie and the chopper bunch gang,

Thanks for all the fun times. The way I see it I have a few new dirt bike brothers. Take care Napper

 

[Jeff Allen]

It's going to take more than orange paint to make me fast in the woods.

Sounds like so much fun that I may just have to skip school next year and go on down. I will start saving and begging the boss (mom) to let me go!!!!!
