Folks -
Been a big panic on my end trying to get the bike put back together before my bro showed up last Saturday after a pretty severe maintenance discovery. This is how it looked around midnight on Friday...
Thankfully I busted butt on it and got it put back together by Saturday afternoon, in time to go skiing on Sunday. Bonding in some 316SS 6mm Nylock nuts solved one of the issues...
We finally got out for some fun on Tuesday morning, temp starting out in the upper 30s lower 40s. Scrounged some gear up from Brian Price at
Atomic Moto and another local dirt biker who runs
dualsportalchemy.com (and who I'd never even met!) Dirt people are darned friendly!
My bro makes my 450 EXC look like a 250.
Speaking of gear, it didn't take long to start shedding it once we hit the singletrack...
Taking a little break, although I didn't know he was napping...
Pretty impressive along here...
And lots of fun!

This is the problem with spring time riding in the forest
No I didn't Graham Jarvis the thing.
Little help here?
All in all a darned good ride. We tried to push up the forest service roads to Tumalo Falls but started hitting a lot of snow, turned tail and ran for town.
Grabbed an excellent lunch at Brother Jon's and then hit the Tasting Room at
Boneyard Beer for a yummy sampler...
