That was a great ride, weather was perfect, bike ran entire time! Great meeting Whautta and Tony Da Rats bud, Aaron maybe? Damn, anyway, we headed for the sand hill first just for kicks and had a blast watching folks run up and down it, or tumble down it as Holesnot and 89r's first run! I was surprised to see Terry fall up the hill but then again, he prolly fell asleep half way up and things went all black for him! BUWAHAHAHA! I ran the 2fittyX up the hill and felt the lack of big bore power as I neared the top, had to shift down into 2nd. All in all, it went up fine and the ride down was in 4th, with throttle and the suspension just soaked up the speed bumps no problem.
At that point, Jr Elk was already spent cause it was his first ride in over a year, and on the RM250 to boot. All in all, he did fine, cept for the couple of get offs, didn't get to see them but he had the bruises and cuts to prove it. That Zuki spanked him and reminded him of how quickly things can turn ugly, but thanks to the other guys, riders and helpers are not far behind to help him pick up the pieces, thanks.
I came home and downloaded the video and watched it. It actually had some great resolution even with all the moving that the bike was doing trying to follow 89er through the manzanitas. Terry can thank the God that the video ran out just seconds before he ate dirt around the corner, I was extremely bummed but he's got someone watching over him to get rid of any evidence of crashing! It's a large file though, and I might needed some help converting it to an MPEG instead of an AVI file, not sure how to do it.
It was great seeing Holesnot again, missed having him around in his old Nissan and trailer in tow, good to see you're in great health, or at least you look like you are!
I had a great time as usual and riding that 2fittyX was a treat, it ran great through the tight trails and roads but could use some getup and go on the straights, but that's OK, I just have to stay way out on front of the pack! I think Whuatta will be back, we hope, and this time he can wear the tutu, I found it under my dresser, kinda stained though. Thanks for coming and we'll plan a miller canyon ride asap, before the heat comes. Jeff, good seeing you again too, along with the Tony D Rat. My friend James had a good time too, he wants to join us again as well, he can share the tutu with Robert. Thanks Terry for the footage, I laughed just as much watching it at home.
