Jaynen 0 Posted February 10, 2009 So my wife wants to come to DD because I am going back to the Desert for a mens only retreat the weekend after, and this coming weekend she is going to Sacramento for the three day weekend. We will probably putt around or do some riding between the times that I am volunteering with registration etc. I have essentially the choice between fixing a flat tire and bringing her quad, or getting a new green sticker for my old bike and bringing that (drz 250) but its still a bit too tall for her. If it had a kouba link or something it would probably be fine but as it is when she stops riding she has a hard time keeping the bike up. Anybody going to have an extra wife friendly sized bike that might be available? Kind of trying to see if she will even go for a bike then we can look at either modifying the DRZ or selling it and the quad and finding her something more suitable.

Erick 0 Posted February 10, 2009 It's nice to see a group of people coming together to keep another quad out of the desert. :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaynen 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Well with all the sand? Im assuming it might be a frustrating place to get acquainted with a bike, but I would like to get her to try a bike and not revert to the quad I rode a TW200 for my MSF class. Are you not sweeping then slut? I can't remember everyones job assignments. The TW200 might be perfect for her, shes 5'4" but I thought I remember it being pretty low Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 910 Posted February 10, 2009 I've got a CRF230 that's plated up for grabs also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaynen 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Awesome. Sounds like she will be covered thanks to you guys. She will be happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't remember everyones job assignments. The TW200 might be perfect for her, shes 5'4" but I thought I remember it being pretty low my son is only a little taller and he can ride it... i'm not sweeping now, because I am doing the dad thing... I am bringing a truck and a trailer, so an extra bike won't be an issue. Have her bring her own gear (duh)... a TW200 is pretty easy to ride, and not bad in sand due to the phat tires yo... not a lot of power... roughly equal to my mountain bike in my prime... Fine for Plaster City and Ocotillo Wells Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaynen 0 Posted February 10, 2009 My wife refuses to give up and will keep up, but I think right now she doesnt need power just something low enough she can balance on so that sounds great. We will have all our gear of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DigDug 0 Posted February 10, 2009 The beauty of the TW is that it's plated. Otherwise you'll have to truck the bikes to an OHV area (Ocotillo Wells or Plaster City). With the plated bike (assuming you're both all legal) you could ride in the state park, closer to camp... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted February 10, 2009 The reason I said plaster city is because it is closed to lunch on Saturday for us lunch hander outers, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaynen 0 Posted February 18, 2009 Looks like it may just be me this weekend. So you don't need to bring that extra bike if you don't want the hassle. Wife was gone last weekend and kind of wants to stay home plus we couldnt find a dog sitter for the puppy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
