Looking for Campbell River DualSporters

Hey DSBCers

Looking to get together with some Campbell River dualsporters to help me get some use out of my new(to me) bike.

I have a plated KLX250S that is collecting dust. It should be collecting KMs and dirt. I grew up on motorbikes and mountain bike almost every day but I only have a couple-few hundred KMs on a motorbike in the last 20years. So I'm not going to bs... I'm green.

Also... I don't have easy access to a trailer so I ran down an got my learners class-6. Still have to ride in sight of a fully licensed class-6 holder though. Pretty funny doing that kind of stuff over again after driving for 28 or so years.

I hear the pit up near McIvor lake has some groups that get together on sundays but I'm not sure that is my kind of thing, esp being so green and not knowing nobody up there anyways. So I think the best thing would be someone(s) with plated and licensed bikes in the CR area who are interested in more exploration type riding rather than MX trail bashing.

My KLX250 isn't much fun on asphalt but I can get about 220-250kms of dirt under it before it runs dry. Not too bad but it can't hang with a big bike without stopping for fuel during the day. The photos of the rides like the McNeil guys post up have me jealous. Looks like where I want to be.

Anyways... I have a few snaps of a couple of rides here, what I'm into, http://www.mypetsquid.com/hiding/dirtbike-dual-sport/

So let me know if anyone is interested in letting me tag along.

Cheers,
Freeze

Anytime you want to go for a ride, give me a call or send a pm. Mid-week, evening, or weekend rides are fine...as long as the weather is half decent I will come out. :clap:

Cool thanks... but I may have to build up a bit of courage to approach my wife...

Me: "Is it ok to take off riding today? No big plans? You're good with the kids all day?"

Wife: "Well... I'm just as tired as you are from working all week but I can find something to do with the kids on my own. Sure... go and have some fun."

Me: "Thanks honey... you're the greatest!"

Wife: "No problem... by the way... where are you going... and you're not going out by yourself are ya?"

Me: "Probably just going to ride around the middle of nowhere... and nope... not going alone... I'll be with some woman I just met on the internet. Are we still cool?"

Wife: --- stares blankly as she loads a full clip into the 9mm ---

(note: this is assuming that a member with a name "Dirty Princess" and an email address starting with "karla..." isn't a dude ;)

You assume correctly Freeze, I am not a dude, lol. I am sure there are plenty of male riders for you to get out there with. I don't want to cause any friction,or possibly meet one or two of those 9mm projectiles..... so I will bow out of this post, lol. Cheers

just to let you know...the group at the track is very casual...all styles of riders and bikes...from 650's (even a 950 Super Enduro sometimes) to 125's....all we do is explore through as many trails as possible. Lots of fun and a great way to meet people.
Track...11 am Sundays.
PS when I get the plate on in May-ish...I will be up for lots of rides weekday nights and weekends....

I wouldn't be shy about showing up at the track, it's a good group of guys and there's nothing too tough about any of the trails usually ridden. Show up with a smile stick out your hand for the first person you meet and say you want to go for aride!I do quite a bit of back road exploring, I'll PM you next time I head out maybe if there's a chaperone dirty princess can come along? ;)



PS; I saw a Super Enduro outside of London Drugs the other day but didn't have time to wait, who's is it? Lurkers come out.........:hb:

I moved back to Campbell River after 40 years working. I am interested in puttering down the back roads. My FT500 gets short of wind at 60mph, but chugs down gravel roads at 30 very nicely. It is a bit of a gas hog and gets thirsty every 150km. Rides to Camp 5 and the Argonaut mine and other such places are what I have in mind.
