    I would have never thought I would ride through some of the challenges we did at the dash this year. Especially "pole line river" The advice to "just wheelie off the edge into the water" was just nuts! After seeing the KTM rider in front of us do it we knew it was possible but holy sh#t! The KTM rider before him endoed and was completely submerged then was hydro locked without a plug socket to pump it out. Charlie went first with no problems. I was second and made it through alright just stalled it on the other side and had to drain the airbox before I could fire it up. Jeff kicked it's ass with no trouble even though he was obviously WAY more worried than we were (I did a good job of hiding my sheer terror). Good job Jeff! You can ride with us anytime! This year consisted of lots and lots of mud and water and muddy water. Good times with good friends! Got a little lost a couple of times, had to do some bailouts but the most adventerous dash I have been on. Great food. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to put this event together. Special thanks to KTMRad. Now only 364 days to go before Desert Dash 9! Thanks Megan for helping out this weekend. Ben

    I took a few pics on sunday. Not great but it's hard to take pics from a cellphone and rip around at the same time.

    Well when I built it I started with a new GEX 2110cc stroker. That lasted 7 yrs of lot's of miles (no odometer for years) until it broke the crank. Now I have a stock 1600cc dual port with the lightened flywheel from the stroker. Runs real good enough just does not have all that great stroker torque. It is pretty much a stock bug with a home cut and turned front beam and slightly lifted in the rear. Goes almost anywhere my toyota 4x4 will go just rev it up and dump the clutch!

    I dont know of anybody in N. County. But in El Cajon I am sure that Kirks radiator over by Gillespie field would do a nice job. It really would depend on how bad and the locations of the damage to determine if it is fixable or just needs to be replaced.

    That is pretty cool Kelly. I don't know anyone with a PW but I think he will grow into that one pretty quick. Or better yet get him a PW also and he can start his own vast motorcycle collection like his old man.

    I went to elementry school next to Chem tronics in the 80's. It was a big deal for my mom to let us ride our bikes to Bike Shop III on second st. I lived off Greenfield. I worked at a tire shop on saturdays to earn 20.00 just to spend it all at Cajon Speedway sat night. If I had any left over it was spent at the swap meet at the eagle drive in.
