[QUOTE="RM_guy, post: 663311, member: 20652"] OK, I’ll try this one more time… I had a fantastic time. As usual riding with fellow DRNer’s is the best. The best part was when I made it up Howie Hill (thanks to TJ for posting the proof even though you failed in your attempt!) Thanks to Scooter too for taking us on some beautiful single track in the morning and some fast quad trails in the afternoon. It was also good to ride some trails with my buddy Chief and his friends for the first time this year. I almost didn’t recognize his bike…it was clean :debil: I got there at 8:15 and hooked up with some other guys for some riding before anyone else got there. It was OK but when they took a smoke break after 15 minutes I rode on back to the pits to see who else showed up. I also walked around and spread the word about DRN to anyone with a bike. Hopefully a few will see the light and sign up. One guy (sorry, I’m bad with names) seemed pretty interested. He had a Yamaha with a #2 on the plates (OK, I’m good with numbers) so I expect to see him on here soon. I have to give Red Wing a lot of credit for riding his street legal Honda 650 in that tight rocky stuff we rode. He struggled in a few places but did pretty good. I heard Flying Scot was there but I didn’t see him. All I saw was this guy with Flying Scot’s bike in some sharp looking gear. Naw…that can’t be him! No leather jacket!!! Sure enough it was and it’s a good thing he had real gear on since he kept crashing on the hill that his wife has no problem on :p I have to say the best crash was when Nate just fell over for no particular reason. One minute he was sitting on his bike and the next he and his bike were on the ground. Nice no-speed crash there buddy!! Of course the real best crash was when Wheezy’s bike went sideways on him at high speed on flat ground. We never did find out what the heck he hit to make his bike do that. Good thing was he only twisted the bars in the clamps…oh, and he only got a giant raspberry on his upper thigh. Are ya gonna rethink not wearing those hip pads???;) Scooter won the “Roost RM_guy” contest. I made a point not to ride his line when I could to avoid any roost but when he hit that water hole in 4th gear I never saw it coming. The next thing I know I’m being hit by the wall of stinky, foul water. I mean I got SOAKED. Lucky for him it was toward the end of the ride or I WOULD have gotten him back. Squeaky, the next time to give us a bike to ride, make sure it’s got a full tank of gas! We ran out in the middle of nowhere and had to put pre-mix in it. It ran a bit rough so you may want to change the plug. And it was a riot ghost riding it off of those hills and watching it bounce off the trees and rocks. We all had a real good laugh when the side case cracked open on a rock. It should be OK though. We only rode it 10 or 12 miles after the oil drained out. :debil: And, BTW, there’s a reason there are bypasses around huge water holes, TJ, good buddy! When I saw you tank deep in that hole I laughed so hard I nearly ran into a tree. Trigger was sure there in spirit but definitely missed in person. Funny that Tree Jumper didn’t ride through that same water hole on the other trips by there. :p I also have to give kudos to MX Tech and the job Jeremy did on my suspension. My bike tracked nice a straight through the nastiest rocky trails and I never once lost control even when the back end did kick out 2 or 3 times. The faster I when through the rough stuff, the smoother it felt. Definitely money well spent. I [i]know[/i] I would have crashed several times with the old set up. I was the only one wearing a DW ’03 tee shirt and was the envy of many. Scooter got some pictures of me modeling it and I must say it looks very sharp. Thump did a very nice job with them. I’m really looking forward to the ride on the 19th. IS IT THE 19th YET???????? [/QUOTE]
