Big dent in the left rad even though I have BPD guards but managed to get that bent back into shape.
The worst part was near the end of the ride I tipped over in some rocks and landed on my tailbone. Wasn't too bad till later that night. Been nursing it ever since. I may take one more week off but itching to get back out there.
3hr session at the HVD Saturday ... i'm still sore :D ... we only covered 20mi.
Chris showed me that new hill you guys were doing out back by the dike, that was a treat in the wet, hahaa. actually, the whole loop was slippery as fuck. super frustrating but overall a great ride.
the rangers are making a bunch of new red/white marked trails (difficult), one of them looks like it's going to connect the section where i think you smacked your tailbone up and over to the top of the previous mentioned new climb. hard to describe but i hope they build out that section. they started to years ago but let it grow back in.
we also found another new hill that connects lower to upper on the right-hand side of the road. Chris tried it twice, no love. i bailed.
both bikes made it out OK but i almost lost a chain and rear disc. got weged so hard between rock i couldn't move the bike any way but UP. fuck i was TOAST after that. ZERO BRAINS.

Big fan of that place. It's as challenging as you want it to be.

Re: Let's get dirty...check here for rides.
Ox I'm seriously thinking of getting out there Sunday with you guys. Just afraid that I may slow you all down. I'm new to dirt.
-
Re: Let's get dirty...check here for rides.
If I'm there, I'll ride with you. Slows' fine.
My clutch is starting to slip and I worry my top end is on borrowed time. But I feel like riding the thing anyway.

That could be something a simple as adjusting the lever preload and/or flushing the slave/master.

Re: Let's get dirty...check here for rides.
Could be. I also figure the clutch has a bazillion hours on it and probably needs to be pulled and inspected.
Really I'm behind in maint. Intended to do it this spring, but poop happened. This, kids, is the downside to owning 49382 motorcycles!

Re: Let's get dirty...check here for rides.
For sure. Having too many bikes is definitely a thing.

Dont be worried about that. Im not exactly a skilled dirt rider either. We usually wait at the next junction anyways.

Re: Let's get dirty...check here for rides.
Wish I could join y'all, and I WILL one of these days for some woods riding, but I have dobro gigs with two different bands Saturday and Sunday...and in between going to fit in open dirtbike practice at Southwick mx338 on Sunday morning. Should be an interesting 3pm Sunday gig with arm pump and sand in my teeth (LOL)
I heard that some pros were practicing yesterday at the track for the upcoming national.
Edit: I guess while I'm at it, I should give my annual psa for the Southwick national. Coming up quick, Saturday July 8. If you ride motorcycles and you've never been to an outdoor mx national, you oughta be ashamed of yourself! It's pretty amazing, even after going to dozens you still see some draw dropping stuff
Southwick National - MX Sports Pro Racing

Fixed. I'll bring some tissues for you to cry into. Lol.

Re: Let's get dirty...check here for rides.
And I'll bring you a box of springs to finally play with.

Re: Let's get dirty...check here for rides.
Wish I could make Sunday but my pass is only good for Saturday.
Been dying to ride up there. I have a couple friends up that way I keep meaning to hook up with.
Staying local HVD or may check out wrentham. Haven't ridden there in a looong time.
-
Re: Let's get dirty...check here for rides.
Any time frame for meet up at Hop-Eve?
