Some, but not all of those are applicable here too! I notice my leather steering wheel has been a bit uncomfortable lately, my house is stucco/tile roof, we love SW foods, and we have those funny names like 'Mojave', and 'Los Gallos'!

Because they prefer to be different there in AZ! :)

ST500 - sounds an awful lot like NM to me! I never thought I would actually enjoy air conditioning that much. Sheesh, is it freaking hot down there or what?

Side note, do you guys run high volume water pumps and covers on your bikes? :think:

Haven't got a clue! :confused: But it sure is nice not to have to mess with the clocks twice a year! :cool:

Some do, most don't. But we tend to jet a little rich.

singletracker. in the message board for goazriding.com they have a trails section. There was a guy looking to go singletrack riding. Not too much there for trails yet but they are working on it. The web site has really grown...Chris Fosso that runs it broke his back so he has had time to work on the site.

That guy is one of my regular riding partners. He was seeing if we could meet some new riders from there. Only one guy replied. No offense, but the place seems rather dead.

We're setting up a ride at Bartlett for next Sunday. We'll be riding Dugan's pack and Hidden trails more than likely. Why don't you join us.

Hey ST, how close are you to Kingman? I'm flying out soon to pick up my Dad's disco 'Vette, and I'd love to see some garage freestyle on the way back. :confused:

Keep it up ST500, we are ALL going to move to AZ! I decided for certain that southern NM is not my bag of tea. Too many stinkin q u a d s running around. I like the looks of your single track trails over yonder.

It could happen, but for now I'm hanging in the Deep South. When I do make it out, I'll buy you a frosty beverage or two.

It will have to be a while. I just sold my kdx to get the little runt a new Cobra. I will get a new bike shortyly hopefully within a month or two.
Also its a state championship weekend week after next. Both kids have a race up in cottonwood.
