NICE! That'll help flatten out those trails a bit.

Great videos guys!


Agreed. Those trails east of Rigeway need to be looked at. I nominate Mike as ride leader out there next year.

*** Anyone crossed paths with Larry lately? How's he getting along?

hey guys, been to the doctor twice here and everythings healing the way it should. still have my handy dandy prescription pain pills, but everything else looks to be good. looks like you guys found some trails there that look good and am really enjoying the videos ya'll are posting. would like to thank again Rob, Chris, Joe, and RG for their help after the crash and of course that nice couple that hauled me off the mountain, it's so good to ride with such a great bunch of guys like twt.

You'll love that bike. It's gonna make life sooo much easier on you!

When I got back into riding I bought a WR250R. It's a great bike but a tad heavy and a little short on torque. That's why I purchased my KLX 450 and this last trip to CO proved to me that there is no substitute for a light bike and torque in the mountains. The KLX doesn't give anything up on the street either.

Consider throwing a Rekluse clutch on it, you won't regret it.

Congrats my friend. When and where is the next ride? I'm ready. Maybe a fall trip to AR? I heard Art and Ray Johnson talking about a fall AR ride???

My sentiments. I might eventually trade to a WR450F FI model when prices drift down on used models.

No plans on AR for me at this time. My next real dirt ride will be the B.U.T.T. ride in Big Bend http://ridedualsport.com/forum/index.php?topic=2807.0. This is some nice and remote desert riding . Still room for folks to join the limited total. Hope to see you there!

I did that ride at the end of 2011. Was a total blast. I love that area. As a bonus, the food at the bunkhouse was absolutely fantastic!!

Arkansas during the leaf change would be a hoot. Looks like the last week of October or first week of Nov. is the peak most years http://www.ozarkmtns.com/foliage/peak.asp

Good campfire weather then too.

And, of course, there is always pie at the Oark Cafe.
