No dust at this place! lol
 
3 of us rode Cycleland Tuesday, extremely difficult to follow the trail this time of the year in places. Brown leaves are a foot deep! Cover trail and hide many a danger, lol.
 
In some trail sections C-Land is very dangerous. With the roots/holes and washouts having the leaves hide things it can be very very bad. I think several trails should be totally moved. Even the reversal each year no longer helps to "heal" them, just too beat.
 
I must have missed you when you rode. Sorry.
 
Yeah, I think every time I saw you was a workday. My last three years of membership I only rode probably 3-5 times.

If SHNF is open i don't go much. Not in the click so go where my riding buddys are at. Maybe make it once a month, maybe.
 
Did my 30 miles at Cycleland today. Very dry, but sand still not as loose as summer.

My riding partner showed up with this beauty.

The 2021 is a Beauty compared with the 2020. Saw one last week in McKinney,.....I was tempted but mine runs so good compared to a stock KTM TPI, I refrained. Plus my wife said I need to refrain If know what's good for me,...and gave me a "wink" I get it.
Gorgeous bike looks even better on the dirt.
 
I tell people it's a Ktm that has Yamaha suspension and turns like a Suzuki. Bike world really well for me! Sherco should wrap up the National Enduro title this weekend in West Tx with Grant Baylor.
 
I've got a white KTM in the garage, I feel like I can rib them a bit.

Actually, all the real KTMs I've owned were reliable for the short time I had them, as I recall. And my one Yamaha that I owned did actually have terrible suspension.

I'm just not familiar enough with the other bikes to know what the reference means.

I know you were messing, and white KTM's are better. Ha

This your white KTM, lol.
 
Did a little over 30 miles in SHNF today with local Beta/Sherco dealer. He was on a Beta 430, plated. Amazing how well that bike worked, even in the whoops. Hmm, lol.
 
Not sure if Ronnie has gotten faster(possibly, rides a lot), I'm just too big for 250 4 stroke (I'm 260 plus gear), just need a 450(good excuse), or have to face the music(I'm 69, this is as good as it's going to get, lol). Anyway he did a great job of keeping up.
