Dirt Bike Romp!

[7idl]

are you talking about that parking lot where we talked to those two guys on MC's?

how's 11am sound?

[SigsRule]

Yep, right at the start of the last trail we tried to go up. Not the one where we parked last time. 11 am sounds fine. See you there.

[7idl]

had a good time... we actually got above timberline this time, although the first two trails we tried were still closed off by the USFS.

notes:

I had a tire blowout on my trailer on the way up (first picture)

at one of the mines, there was an old International 6cyl engine that was used to drive some equipment, note the "Eddison" sparkplug!

the small "town" in one of the pictures is "Montezuma"


eta:

Since the last weekend ride with 7IDL, I've now got a real knobby ordered for the front of my DRZ400S and spent the weekend installing a Rekluse z-start clutch. I'm heading up to Tiger Run RV park in Breckenridge Wednesday night (hopefully with the new tire mounted). I'll check out the trails we weren't able to get up last weekend because they were still closed and let you know.

Assuming they are open now and anybody wants to ride next weekend after the 4th of July, let me know.

[7idl]

I might. depends on how this week goes.. (I'm on vacation)

[SigsRule]

Well Georgia Pass was open all the way. But we're getting a good soaking rain for the last four or five hours so all the trails will be wet and possibly muddy tomorrow. I'll check the trails in the morning but I'm not too optimistic after all the rain we just got.

That's the bad news, the good news is the z-start auto clutch works as advertised. Next week the new skid plate, case guards, Pirelli front tire, and Rekluse brake kit get put on. IDPA shoot on Saturday but hopefully Sunday will be a good day to ride.

[7idl]

well, too late for me to plan such a trip for tomorrow. maybe next weeked (?) I'll be in FL next week, but get back on Fri. and I may have other 'higher' priority items come up, won't know till next week.

a bit OT but i thought id ask.... anyone in colorado springs have any used tires sitting around looking for a second hand home? i just bought gwen a little starter bike and the tires are probably the OEM.... looking for an 18 and a 19 free or cheap... of course ill pick em up.

[SigsRule]

Okay, I now have good knobbies front and rear. I'm planning to install the skip plate, radiator protectors, case guards, and Rekluse rear brake kit no later than Saturday and go riding!

Georgia pass was open last weekend so hopefully Webster will be open this weekend.

I've actually got a "date" this weekend, wish me luck
