No way I could have gotten it out by myself. Three of us pulled up on the front wheel and it would not budge. Back wheel the same thing. We leaned the bike way over on its side and heard a great big sucking sound as air was getting under the tire and with 3 of us pulling like crazy we got it out.

Was the mud hole any better?

THE LADY SAID SHE WAS RAIDING HER CHILDREN'S
PIGGY BANK TO BUY SOME WHISKEY.
LOOK ON THE COUNTER AND YOU CAN SEE THE LID AND
PIGGY BANK AND THE SPRITE AND SMALL
BOTTLE OF WHISKEY SHE IS BUYING.

WHO ME REPLACE THE O RING WHEN
CHANGING THE OIL FILTER. NEVER.
OH SNAP SOMETHING IS SPRAYING
OIL ALL OVER MY BIKE AND MY RIGHT BOOT.

LET'S THROW IT ON THE GRASS ON
ITS SIDE AND TAKE THE OIL FILTER COVER
OFF TO INSPECT THE O RING.
SPREAD SOME BLACK RTV ALL OVER THE
O RING AND GOOD AS NEW. THANKS JEFF FOR
THE GREAT HELP WITH THIS REPAIR.

Short, sweet and too the point. We were back up and rolling in 20 minutes...
 
That's the most fun I've ever had at a motorcycle challenge ride without getting on a bike! I was so wanting to ride when I got back that I had My6 take my bike off the trailer and I rode home from the car wash. :D Great ride, Joel!

next year, TD, you will ride! And me too!

Looks like it was a ton of fun. Thanks for pix.
 
Glad it mostly went well for you guys. :clap:

MotoTex, how did doing the this ride on 705s work for you?
 
Dang, that's as bad as JMZ's roads! :lol2:

:lol2:That was my first thought also. It seams like lately every time out on gravel toward Gonzales or south west of there I encounter the traffic of the Eagle Ford Shale.
 
I'd like to say thanks to the people that made this ride happen. I definitely had a great time and hope I can make it next year. uploadfromtaptalk1406563893517.jpguploadfromtaptalk1406564017967.jpguploadfromtaptalk1406564036519.jpguploadfromtaptalk1406564057622.jpg
 
It was great meeting you, BearArcher! Glad you joined the ride. Hope to see you at Roll the Bones!
