bikeslut 1 Posted January 31, 2008 Pine Valley to Corral... leading a guy from TT (Florida) up and around some of these trails. He's riding my DRZ, and I am riding my XR or the TW... Anybody else available? I don't know this guy, so can't really define a pace, but as I will be on a slow bike, it will not be blistering by anybody's account... Maybe leave Pine Valley trailhead at 9 or so... back in time to go buy a toy hauler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 559 Posted January 31, 2008 I certainly have enough time on my hands for another li'l trail ride. Sounds like fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted January 31, 2008 Mimi- I will stay out of your way Like I said; I have no indication of this guys skill or speed, so we'll just play it by ear... if he's too fast, I can stick a sock in the airbox while he's not looking Let's plan on 9 at the trailhead, then... Jon- you available at that time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted February 1, 2008 I may be able to make it. I really need to do some maint on the XR. I might be at Gunner's on Sat but I'm trying to do some OT for a little extra flash cash and may not make it on Sat. If it doesn't get done Sat it'll likely be on Monday. If I can and since this is likely to be a slow moving day I'm going to see if I can get Julie to skip out on work and join us. Anybody got an extra little bike for her?

PastaPilot 17 Posted February 1, 2008 Well here she was on an XR80. I'm sure she could handle more than that, but she is an extreme novice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 559 Posted February 1, 2008 Hmmm, if I still had my CRF150 that would be perfect. The CR85 will darn near shred an open bike down a slick straight away wide open and doesn't have a prayer off the bottom. Next up from that is the KDX220, tuned to pull all the way, but with a rev pipe, almost like riding a full 250 two-stroke. Not for the uninitiated. at least on any trail other than a smooth fire road. Also not very user friendly for shorter people(like myself ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted February 1, 2008 Right! A 150 would be perfect. My friend in NY had a CR80, it was very hard to ride. All top end with nothing on the bottom. Not for the beginner. Thanks though, Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks though, Jon I have a ttr125 and an XR250... the 125 would be perfect... My 11 year old rides it, but it has enough poke to haul my butt around... it's a great little bike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 559 Posted February 1, 2008 As some of you may know, I am a riding outfit clotheshorse, so I have boots and clothes that I don't even use any more, that I would be happy to give up to a new rider. All the rider needs to be is about five and a half feet tall, weighing no more than about 115 to 120 pounds and wear a ladys size eight shoe. I even have a nice clean XS helmet. You supply the knee guards and gloves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ride-Orange 2 Posted February 1, 2008 Well here she is on an XR80. I'm sure she could handle more than that, but she is an extreme novice. If you're going to make this a habit Jon, you may want to think about putting Julie into a qualified dirt bike school I know just the team, local guys here donchaknow, and offering the training at an extreme discount to our SDAR brothers & sisters. Guaranteed to make Julie a better rider and keep the two of you on speaking terms (at least ). We have a spot available for the 16FEB08 class, lemme know if you're interested Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted February 2, 2008 Dame, That is about her size. Boots would be too big. Slut, A 125 you say. I'll have to try really hard to get her to skip work on Monday morning. Orange, I might be taking you up on that offer. Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PastaPilot 17 Posted February 3, 2008 I'm a no go on this one. Julie can't get out of work tomorrow and I'd prefer to ride the desert again after all the rain. Looking for Tuesday or Wed riders now.. Have fun, Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 559 Posted February 3, 2008 Right then. Ozzy....you going with us? I'll be sure to do my worst impression of David Knight on my KTM . And there will probably a bit of a truly wet creek crossing as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
