Jan ride in ST. George trip report

[Mtnseeker1]

First off I would like to thank Garbanzo and acca for making the long ass trip in the night of the storm of the year so far to come down and ride.:crazycobasa:
Crazy bastards to say the least.
I am glad you did as I had a great time riding with you and can't wait to do er again.
It is always a pleasure to see and ride with great friends that don't quit early and love to ride the most insane shit as can be found.:hail2thechief:
Not something I can say about my local riding buds.:lol8: Something that needs a bit of fine tuning.:stud:on my part:lol8:.
If not for the Bogely crew I never would be caught putting the hammer down on such sketchy sections.

The weather was good enough but seems that NV. missed all the rain and snow. A bit dusty back in the rear it was.:lol8:
Lunch: Well all I can say is I have never seen a fifty year old man put so much food down his gullet so fast.
Hell I never put that much food down when I was a teen ager.:lol8: By the way thanks for lunch Garbanzo.
We road long and hard and I did not realize how long or hard till the sun was going down and I needed some help to keep my bike from falling into a bad way. (cliff).
I was spent to say the least.


Great rides with great dudes can only add time to your life I swear.:2thumbs:

Garbanzo has some pix. Lets see them and video if you have it. You both had gopros... :ride:

[Garbanzo]

Here are a few photos. I'll see if I can't put together a video. It was a great couple of days. The wife is not thrilled that I left her to 3 days of snow, but these are small sacrifices me all must make.:D

Looks like a little huck and buck at 1:28 to me:lol8:
Oops I better let you load it first.

You would be correct. I thought I missed it, but it was there.

[Garbanzo]

On a side note, I received a copy of Dirt Rider magazine in the mail today and it was addressed to Mark Husa Brian.

I'm not sure who did it, but I like it!!

[Mtnseeker1]

By the way Garbo very nice work with the video:2thumbs: Spot on bro.

[Garbanzo]

Thanks man. See you again in 3 weeks. Can't wait. I hope the weather holds.

It sure can't get any worse and this weekend ride was fantastic.
Some rain will help with the dust :haha: but we're on.
The last three weeks have been cold everywhere even down in AZ. they felt it hardcore.

I'll take dry and 45 anytime compared to 15" of snow and teens.:D

One thing is for sure and that I will waste no more time with inviting my local flukes that take time away from my ride.
I will wait for anybody but they best want to ride......:DDDDD

I've never been so embare- assed in my intire life.........
And it looks like I missed the best part of the weekend.
Life goes on but that aint happining twice.
Well I say that now but I do have a big heart and may make that mistake some more.

After I tweeked my left radiator like a friggin banana. It's all good now :D

Nice and strait and protected.
I guess that first big sand climb and fall did more damage than I thought.

Three weeks dudes- three weeks.
Any ways I'm up and running and Fri. is a new day.
Besides I need all the practice days I can muster inside the next three weeks:D

[Garbanzo]

Looks good:2thumbs:.

No worries. It happens. You can never tell who's really in for it or not.

Good vid. I remember a few of those spots, especially that tight little sand wash.

Are you and/or Jared off the bubble yet?

Looking good. Jarrod wants to come up Friday night and ride Saturday. I'm trying to figure out a way to be there Friday and Saturday.

Now you see them and now you don't and inside a minute the dust is gone as well.

Can't view it. The movie is private on YouTube. You'll have to make it public. :cool:

Well hell no wonder I have such a hard time/:naughty:
I don't know what your problem is it works great for me LMAO

[Mtnseeker1]

I have noticed that You Tube does trim alot off the top and I need to adjust for this.
When I pre view I can see the hole darn country side but after you tube gets ahold of it it looks like i set my camera way to low.

As I was sitting here eating a couple of burritos, it reminded me that we forgot to thank Mtn Seeker for the dinner on Friday night after this ride. It was excellent!!
I HAVE NEVER seen that much melted cheese on a dish in all my life! It was awesome! I blew a blood vessel in my forehead trying to get that thing out the next day, but it was worth it!
Thanks again, that was a very cool thing to do. Oh yeah, and your mom rocks too! Tell her I said so.:2thumbs:

[Mtnseeker1]

She's the best but I have to keep on eye on her. Her memory gives us various situations daily.:lol8:
I've had to put an end to her driving and I can only guess how hard it must be to loose the little things one at a time that you have done your whole life.

I was more than happy to get a big cheesy meal thrown together for after the ride. All pork green chili buritto is good every once and a while.
But never two meals in a row.

[Mtnseeker1]

Just another reason for a tent trailer the way I see it.

[accadacca]

Yep, great meal. We need to experience cooking like that every trip!
:2thumbs:

Actually my aunt is pretty good too...

[Mtnseeker1]

Good hell cooking is easy Keeping up with the hoooligans is another story in it'self.:lol8::2thumbs::cry1:

I am hoping the boys from Vegas make a showing in Feb.
It's been what 18 months or so?

Well for Jarod anyways but nelson was last winter right. I had my hot start pinched and he went a bit up the big sand climb and says" I down shifted and it just died on me"LMAO

It has been a spell.


The good food can be done by dutch oven and fun camping by the way.

[Garbanzo]

Pretty good? Hella good!

Good hell I love this sport.
So many great folks.
Every ride seems to bring out the best and well? Gosh I love this sport.

[Mtnseeker1]

I'm dragging a 67 year old out in the morn.
He owns a big black Hardly, a klr 650 , and NO SHIT a 2013 300 2-t KTM.
I'm not sure who's going to take who to school:lol8:
I did mention how I love this here sport right?:lol8:
I'll start with some flat land single track that progresses to some clmbs and deep washes:lol8:
I try my best to get vids But this dude is already A O K in my book. Super nice guy.

I've been trying to hook-up a ride since my BRP two years ago.
Something has always got in our way till now.

[Mtnseeker1]

I think that old boy is eye balling my new ride:roflol:
