[QUOTE="wrench, post: 51401, member: 18759"] Part 2.... As I was searching for Shin, I see that Ivan and friends (Payday2 and Kim) had finally arrived (3:30pm). I say hello and go back to the truck to find my riding partner. Now that I know he is OK, I do as the High Lord requested and grab my official "Gomer Pokin' Stick" and head over to Ivan's truck to give him a poke! :p After putting up some resistance, I was able to get a good poke in, he subsequently "confiscated" my stick! :( Jimmy and the others were too far gone to cath up to, so I hung around while the others suited up. Being the "true" gentleman that Ivan is ... His wife has better riding gear than his (i think that his are hand me downs from Marty Tripes). Payday and Kim are really cool and they both can ride very well. Ivan's wife is progressing very well on her Suzuki, I think it is only her second or third time on the bike. After what seems to be an eternity, Ivan has finally gotten his Spandex riding outfit on and we are ready to hit the trail. Ivan asks me to take the lead (the women decided to stay on the "GP" style course). I can hear the blue piglet right behind me, I am going at a pretty good pace (it is still pretty slick). After a twisty downhill single track section, I now hear a two stroke behind me instead of Ivan's thumpette, I turn to see who it is. Ivan and Shin Ichi are nowhere to be seen but Payday's Kawie is on my knobbies. Turning to look was a big mistake, when I turned back around I see a small wooden bridge that crosses a creek. I am going a little too fast (for wet muddy tires on wood), the bike starts to slide so I give it a little blast of the throttle to try and straighten it up. WRONG ANSWER!! Instead, the rear end just slides out. Payday gets to see my famous "boot" turn/slide and fall. The same one from the MWSF last year! I pick up the bike and get it restarted. There is still no sign of Ivan or Shin, I let Johnny go by (at his insistance) and wait a few moments to see where they are. After about a minute, I decide that they are big boys and try to catch up to Payday. No dice, he is flying (I thought he was a MXer), I can hear him but could never get close enough to see him. I finish the loop and go back to the truck. There I find Ivan and Shin. Apparently, they both have the same crappy tires and were just sliding all over the place so they went to the MX course. I got a "wild" hair to attempt some jumps. Man I was catching some "serious" air time, having a blast. Doing my best to ride like MC! Oh yeah ... did I mention that this was on the "Kiddie MX" track? :p It was now around 5:00pm, Shin and I needed to head back to GA. I had a great time and enjoyed seeing Ivan again as well as meeting Payday and Kim. I hope to see them again at the MWSF. wrench ------------------ [/QUOTE]
