    Who's white bike is that with the oversize tank and soft panniers? And what make is it? I like it. Sorry I missed the stories, but glad to hear about the new location! A Husky dealer would be pretty sweet too!

    I am truly envious of travelers like that.

    so about Hard Labor Creek - I think you fastburn guys would love it. Here's a preview of the trails

    alot of open fast stuff. fastest lap time for the ball & chain HS was about 20 minutes. really nice place, imo.. let's send these guys some business and keep legal trails in nw florida.. we're losing all our riding areas of old.

    Great video Hatch. Very aggressive riding. Looks like a Tommy Brooks and Jeff Proventure out there!

    More info on class and riders would be good.

    Sure makes be wanna race again...

    I may go down to the next one. Do they have a fast class cause this one looked really slow....:evil

    Rick,

    I m with you. My first time watching this its like Im racing again and thinking - I can pull this guy but he's all over and very dangerous. Pick the spot. And the Yame rider did just that. Agressive pass in the clay pit.. and then a great job of catching 1and 2..
    BTW the way these guys shot off the line I would say this was the AA or A class...lots of smokers also... maybe an age class ... like over 55. And remember this was just lap 1 out of 5...

    Yeeee Hawwww!

    Are they open for daily rides? If so, sounds like a day trip.

    Steve called this morning suggesting we ride some twisty roads and see the sights in Walton county. We met north of Defuniak and he led us through some fun roads, saw a few sights and had an excellent lunch in Red Bay. We can't seem to keep our street bikes off the dirt though.

    Phil and I assembled a storage shed this weekend. Great weather to install 1500 tiny screws in sharp metal pannels.

    Glad somebody went riding. I know that place were you took the pic of Steve.

    Screwing is supposed to be fun.:nod

    Bet the skeeters are bad there when it warms up. We saw lots of dirt roads today that need to be explored.

    High end expensive sport touring.
    Gonna take a special customer to afford one of those. At any rate they'll be a extra tug on out of towners to see the BMW lineup.


    Hey, deer hunting season will be over in Alabama in a couple days.
    Beast ride this comin Sunday to do the Monroe county carnage ride.
    Destruction, injuries, lost riders.
    You know the drill by now.
