I loved this area. We did 3 loops and they were all awesome. I was was very tired by the third and my hands were worn out. The weather was in the 60s! :cool2:

Um yeh um I had some home front issues and the bike was ready as is so the stock tank just didn't make it in time. :lol8:

I do however have a plan to drop about 100lbs. Stay tuned.

Nice color and clarity in your picts.
Takes me right back to the seen of the crime.

Hats off to Mtn Seeker, He really took the tanker to some places I wouldn't. Hung with the sissy bikes both days and didn't crash. That's more than I can say:kboom: It was a great ride.:2thumbs:

Lighten up bro-:lol8: You all rock:hail2thechief::hail2thechief::hail2thechief:
I have an ace up my sleeve after that ride that should shed about 100 lbs.
I think Garbanzo will relate to this ace.

But most importantly let's doer again soon please.

yes it was a great ride both days.
I'm so dam sore it feels good if you can understand that one.

Oh and I'm sorry about the roost that caught you Mark.
After following everybody all day and being bone dead tired that last little ride back to the parking area I just had to get some air in the sails.

Does one of those yamahas have a dual exhaust ?

By dual do you mean two pipes from the motor or two back by the rear seat area?

Seems like Yamy did a 4t 250 with dual that most went with after market single and used the second exuast for tool storage in camo./hidden/fake.

That it explains it, I remember the 2007 honda 250's had the dual exhaust. Looks like you guys had a great ride. Thanks for the pics.

I'm jealous!!! I've been itching to go riding, but I haven't been able to find proper riding buddies. Looks like a good ride.:slobber:

Nice picts:cool2:Acca
I keep hearing everybody mention suspension but was wondering about the rubbers on the risers?
Is this cause the sus is way to tight?


I'm very new to this game but never had the blisters like that from just riding.

And Jiffers, Don;t be jealous. Just jump right in and ride.

Seems these old boys know just about every place to ride and hard. Hard enough to blister.

Gripping way too tight. I used to have that problem all the time. Jarrod kept telling me I was gripping too tight. Started to make a conscious effort to always keep two fingers on the levers so that I wasn't overgripping. Now I get and keep callouses but no more blisters.

Different Gloves, I use to get those, not as bad but changed to a glove that doesn't have those pads in that area. Seemed to cure the problem. Some reason the pads pinch your skin.

nice video.
I really liked to see that still shot about 3:51, I thought for sure I was going to eat it on that hill.
I bet everyone was thinking the same thing.
