NI230L is your name Paul also? It would sure make it easier to remember. ;) Sounds like a few north islanders are gonna try and make it downso I'll make sure it's big bike friendly regardless of the locals plan.

I hope the Legend is out on the 7th, a treat for those who haven't met him! Did he have his chin strap on for his hard hat this time, how about any trick riding displays? I think he's got the only mono shock 74 CR125 in the world, one's broken off and it doesn't slow him down a bit. Somebody could do a day in the life video and make a fortune.

You bet he did! Rain slickers and all too.
We were at the Tom Brown pit and he zipped up a hill, hit a big kicker (that he built!) flew up and landed it, then came back down...we went on the Wedge and he showed us how it was done there too! Quite the fellow...

First off sorry to the guys waiting at the track for being no shows....

But we had a good 400+ km run to Tahis and back via the back way. We spent at least 90% of the day.. Started the day off at the esso.

Great weather for a ride today. We got up to the track at about 11:30 (waited for 2 hours and nobody showed!)

Just kidding.
I met a few new faces such as Toby all the way from Pitt Meadows and John on the Super Enduro. Lots of others there too...the Bikesmith gang. I was having a great time givener through the trails out to Beer Lake. I was following Paul on the big KTM and couldn't believe how he threw that big rig through the trails. We got to Beer Lake, had a quick chat, then fired them up again and headed out. About 30 seconds into this I tried to hop over a small downed tree and had the bike slip out from under me...breaking the clutch perch. Rookie mistake as I've been living on borrowed time with the factory 'wings'. Proper handguards coming up now.
The others went on to the airport and had a great ride I think. I limped it back to the track sans clutch. Looking forward to the next ride!!
