Brett 0 Posted October 26, 2006 I'm putting this out as a reminder: http://malcolmsmithrides.com/no_wimps.php Nov 1 is the deadline for the $5 discount AND the T Shirt. Nov 12 is the ride. It starts at Glen Helen as usual, and there's often an opportunity to meet Malcolm. Although few of you would be interested, there will be an optional "Adventure" loop for big bikes, like there was last year. That route was designed by Scott Harden. I took the KTM 950 Adventure on the tough "No Wimps" route last year and it was a mistake. By lunch (lucky I made it that far) I was toast! For most of you with small bikes, I would do the tough route. Not at all sure I can make it this year as I'm a bit injured from the LER last week. If I end up going, I may take the 525 this time, unless all my 950 friends are doing the Adventure Loop. We'll see ... Brett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyro 1 Posted October 28, 2006 Now that's something I can sink my teeth into . . . I think I'm in for this one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin 0 Posted October 28, 2006 I wonder if the on-going fire will have an effect on this ride. The fire is in that area! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTMrad 508 Posted October 31, 2006 Kevin, you're not thinking of going, are ya ?? It says No Wimps !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin 0 Posted November 1, 2006 I have heard that the fires are not going to effect the ride-It is on! Randy, not going to be able to make this ride, but I might be able to help you install some new pedals and handlebar streamers on your KTM 950. Did you get it fixed yet slacker!!!!!!!!!!

Brett 0 Posted November 6, 2006 Randy, not going to be able to make this ride, but I might be able to help you install some new pedals and handlebar streamers on your KTM 950. Did you get it fixed yet slacker!!!!!!!!!!Of course he didn't! He's living up to his reputation & the title Alfred bestowed upon us at the LER:"San Diego Slackers" He apparently felt we were late for everything ... Also, Randy said he's not going to run the handlebar streamers anymore. They're too long & keep getting caught in the pedals. Brett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brett On last year's LER, we were always that last ones off the trail, so the legacy continues. It it true that the e handlebar streames got caught in the front fork seals on Randys bike, thus causing them to fail? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brett 0 Posted November 18, 2006 It it true that the e handlebar streamers got caught in the front fork seals on Randys bike, thus causing them to fail?Yes, it's true. We kept telling Rad to get it out of 2nd gear so the streamers would blow back and not get caught in the fork seals. But every time he'd hit 3rd they would get caught in the pedals, and that scared him a lot!Much to his chagrin, he's going to give up the streamers all together. Now we need work on the pedals, but one thing at a time. He's fragile. Brett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
