Covered in Dust 165 Posted January 18, 2022 RiggerDan day because yesterday was his Birthday or the day before. Not sure, I did hit my head in my crash. Dan showing the proper way to secure your load. Rigger living life on the edge Rigger being Rigger PMB and Dan arguing about the proper way to resurrect a dead bike. While the Governor keeps things civil It takes a special person to smile while changing a flat in the dirt in bad weather. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riggerdan 147 Posted January 18, 2022 BIG SMILE Each one of those very memorable moments, I wouldn't trade for anything... The first pic has always been my fav 2000K + miles off-road with that tub strapped to the bike 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Covered in Dust 165 Posted January 19, 2022 Today we have the Kug! I first met Ken back in 89 when I was his chase driver for the Baja 1000. Since then we’ve ridden at least 10,000 miles together on off rode adventures. If you’re ever fortunate enough to get invited on a Kug ride don’t miss it. I have hundreds of pics of the Kug from dozens of rides over the years. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Covered in Dust 165 Posted January 21, 2022 Today we bring you Tracy! AKA Cosmo,TLKing etc. Tracy and I started riding together back in 2007 shortly before I retired and again we've covered thousands of miles together all over the western US and Baja. Tracy heading south out of San Felipe Over looking the Salton Sea Somewhere Just above the Diablo Drop off with the Kug and I don't remember and yours truly This was a great story, ask him about 4 guys in the front of a U-haul heading to the start of the UTBDR. Somewhere in Mexico I think. Tracy is a great cook and loves to make tacos for everyone. San Francisquito, Baja Cooking again Holding court in front of 400 guys in the desert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Covered in Dust 165 Posted February 3, 2022 Here he is the one and only Bagstr, AKA the Governor. Dave is one of the few people I know that never seems to lose his cool no matter what the situation. And I know that I've probably tried his patience more than once. Dave is always a stickler for keeping a tidy camp. Flying during a Crawdaddy ride, Oatman I think The passing of the baton Northern Nevada Northern Nevada again Just outside of ABDSP Dave showing us the proper technique of picking up a bike Always a snappy dresser Again with showing us how it's done I have no idea where Where were we? Ocotillo Wells The Crew, photo by PMB Off to Utah Utah This is one of my favorite pics of Dave. Rigger and I met Dave out in the middle of ABDSP for an overnighter. He may or may not have fallen out of his chair a few times this evening (alcohol might have been involved). Heading somewhere fun 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
