Bubbagums 42 Posted November 18, 2022 I usually park a couple of hundred yards off Evan Hewes. A little over 1 mile east of the plant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 887 Posted November 18, 2022 I thought that I had read that you were bringing donuts to my camp. After reading this again, I am highly disappointed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bub_Hannah 174 Posted November 20, 2022 Damn....hate to hear when someone gets injured. What a great group of folks coming together to get the bike. Silt.... about as fun as mud is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 887 Posted November 20, 2022 I was about to ride the Rhino down to get the bike, but instead Andy’s wife Liz volunteered to take their pickup. Probably saved time. She wasn’t keen on driving back out by herself so we loaded the bike up. I will bring it to my place and start disassembling it so Bob will have something to do while he’s healing up! Darren was enjoying the ride to camp, got him some food and rode around a bit. Not great to get hurt, but glad it’s going as well as it can. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

padu 319 Posted November 21, 2022 I was there yesterday with Sedlak Offroad School doing a desert class (on the dirt bike though). It was my first time riding the desert properly and we had so much fun. I'm starring to understand how vast is the desert and the off-roading possibilities for us here in SoCal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
350thumper 336 Posted November 21, 2022 Wait a minute... hold the phone!..... people pay for that.? This whole time I've been doing it for free. Uh... am I retarded? Don't answer that.. I bet he didn't show you the 350thumper technique of how to close your eyes, roll on the throttle then ride backwards. I guess he's saving that for the advanced classes. OK I'll find out where he advertizes then cut his price in half so I can afford a new rear tire Thanks padu.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 887 Posted November 21, 2022 I might have to give you my take offs, want to see the roost action when you’re not running desert slicks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
