wildwood 11 Posted September 9, 2017 Just a little time to get the ball rolling. A good turnout with 10 riders. Lots of good times packed into a sub-100 mi. ride. More picks & to come...... Unfortunately, Daniel was the first casualty with a rock that had eyes, finding the gap between the skid plate and bars and connecting with the case. Jim saved the day with his 'Johnny Weld' kit. A little brunch at the Pine House Tavern. Good Eats here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 559 Posted September 10, 2017 Another thank you to Uncle Champ for posting this ride. It's been so long since the last time I went on a SDAR club ride, I forgot how much fun it was. I should get out on these more often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good seeing and meeting everyone. I'll post some more photos later. So you made it back, I guess the air stayed in your tires. You sure rode the hell out the V-ster today, nicely done! I know those little sand patches are tricky, especially when you catch one in a blind corner. Big bikes are so much work, but they can get the job done. Glad everyone made it through. More good times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wierdrider 187 Posted September 10, 2017 Cruzin up Kitchen CreekGetting ready to boogie after " breakfast"?!GQI wasn't up for Deer Park so I meandered for a while I ended up going down Pine Creek Rd The skies were awesome!I took a little two mile out and back off of Pine Creek?Rain a comin, i think I barely missed it.

Uncle Champ 116 Posted September 10, 2017 I would like to thank everyone for showing. What a good group, no supermen trying to impress, no bikes that broke due to lack of maintenance, just a good group of friendly folks. To the big bikes I did not know the road was as rough as it was but it wasn't terrible, even if I had prerun it the day before I probably would have still gone that way. The post ride at my house was good too, cold beverages, getting to know new people. Just a great day, again thanks for coming everyone. Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wierdrider 187 Posted September 10, 2017 Damn, I missed the cold beverages. ? How was Deer Park? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tvscum 43 Posted September 10, 2017 Really great ride. Gate open at bottom of Fred Canyon. Don't give up on the African Twin, Daniel. I see that alternator cover for $118 on Rocky Mountain ATV. Thanks for organizing Charlie! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deer Park was loose & rutted on the switchbacks when you first start in from the top at Pioneer Mail. Susie launched her newish KTM into the Buckwheat off the side of the road & the bike ended up on her leg. No pic's darn it, minor rescue required. Lucky soft landing. The way you and Daniel were riding it, I think you would have gotten through. That was about the worst of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
