Anyone going to this ride with a pickup for unplated bikes? I'd like to go, we have an unplated 250 I can ride but no way up.
So if anyone is taking a pickup with room for one more we are on royston road, so not that far out of the way, on the way to cumberland, I'd love a pick up/drop off.

I could give you a lift. I'm not sure about the weather now though. We're supposed to get quite a windstorm tonight so I don't know what tomorrow's going to look like.

Cheers
Duane

Hmmm, 80% chances of rain tomorrow now and light rain all day. We'll play it by ear and see how it looks in the morning.

Check the forums in the morning for updates and don't forget to switch yer clocks back.

Steve.

We'll see what tomorrow brings. Not into riding in the pouring rain, drizzle is ok but don't feel like being soaked all day.

Got myself a new set of tires today so I no longer need a ride.

First post. I will join your group if it's not a downpour tomorrow, and my son too, as he's been bugging me for a couple of days to take him riding. Hope to meet some of you tomorrow. :hf:

Hey ya wanker, what's with the roadrace avatar? This is an off-road forum. You probably believe in counter-steering and everything.

Um, anyone who wants more than 70 hp?

Nothing wrong with thumpers though, some of my best friends have just one big lung.

Let's just go troops! If we get wet, we'll just go home earlier, that's all. This rain crap is not stopping until April and I don't think we want to wait that long. The bonus is the lack of dust!

I will be there.

Thanks for another great ride, gang! And thanks to Steve, our fearless leader of the day for the new trails (and a few interesting hill climbs - I need a little practice I think).
Cheers, Kevin :hb:

Thanks for having us out with you guys. SOrry we bailed early, had a bit too much to drink last night and wasn't feeling up to too much challenge.

Oh, and ken gave that big hill a shot and managed to lug the 350 up it but no luck with the big beast. I guess those tires aren't that 'crappy' after all. Likely it's the rider that needs more skill not the bike or it's tires....don't I know it. Would be nice to afford a set of 'decent' worthy tires but we know it's not a cheap sport and we do what we can with what we have.

Hopefully with a lot more practice I'll be able to keep up somewhat with you guys. Feel like I got into this sport too late you know, never having ridden a bike ever until a year ago and then never having been off road really untill just the last few months. So thanks for the help, seriously, I've only been offroad like 3 times and twice with you's. Steep learning curve for sure!

Cheers, Kara and Ken

We followed the breadcrumbs back and got back to the truck in no time.

Thanks for another great ride, good work Steve.

Thanks for the ride wet as it was, still good. Good to see some more trails. Coming out the last gate I went back to the lake, that large rock got my rear disc not to bad the wheel still rotates but I can sure feel it when I put the brakes on.

Thanks again and see you guys next time.

Anyone have a good used disc?

Sorry it's a 97 DR350 I think it is the same for any year, but I have been wrong before and will be wrong again.

Actually I do have a set of freshly rebuilt (by Vel) KX250 forks to go on my KDX. If there's a ride this weekend I'll be ready to rip, with moving suspension and everything! :tup:
