The 565 Frankenbike thrives on, and that's the bike of choice for this ride. I'd bring the Big Girl if I had some decent tires and demonstrate the abilities of a skilled rider on a spirited machine.

Bagstr 288 Posted December 19, 2012 Personally, I don't know how anyone could drop a bike on a smooth straight two track. At least not get photographed doing it. Bagstr Bozeman or I would be there. Have fun crew. Sounds like fun......................putting it on the radar 77.9657% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aw, I'm getting killed here...I PROMISE the sand was deep there, and those tires SUCK in it. Never should have posted it.... Did I tell you about eh time Riggah ran REALLY wide on a turn in Utah?

Oracle 195 Posted December 20, 2012 Sounds awesome. I have super moto ride planned for Sunday but let me see if I can pull off back to back rides. And just confirm there will be a fuel stop? I'm just running a stock tank right now and am guessing my range is under 100 miles. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dsfox 0 Posted December 20, 2012 Sweet, happy more can join us.. We'll have a good group!!! Perhaps we will split into a fast group and one who moves at a more "leisurely" pace.....meet at breaks/lunch?...we shall see what the consensus is.. (I know what some of the unnamed guests' "lollipop" pace is....I would break something for sure.. :blink:/> ) and I've been injury free for almost a year now and plan to keep it that way...wisdom grows with experience... see you at 8:30 saturday...call me if needed, most of you have my info..

dsfox 0 Posted December 21, 2012 I've been injury free for almost a year now and plan to keep it that way... This may return to haunt you.... well, of course every time we get on a bike there is risk, BUT, alot of that is in our own hands....THUS, why stay at a more "leisurely" pace, and don't choose obstacles of higher risk ratio's.......not pushing the speed envelope....just don't need that adrenaline....rather stay safer.... heading out this morning...see you all out there.....not sure any cell service,......dave tells me tamarisk grove campground may be open? we may be camped there then?.... ciao!!
