    How about Jose basin to start. If time permits or it leads us up towards Shaver/dinky. How about we meet at friant at the 76 station. I need to be back in town by mid afternon. Kickstands up between 9am and 10am works, you pick a time. I'm also open for other options. :earu

    Oh yeah, still on the original:evil Procycle actually has an upgraded DR stator, 50 extra watts, for only $225:clap

    Wish I could get out for a weekday ride, the weather is perfect. I'll be looking for some dirt this weekend though, not sure which day yet.....

    Great weather today outside of northfork with coarsegoldkid. Little moisture this morning through the trees. Dirt was getting that little tack layer. Not too Much dust. Throw in a little creek crossing with pine trees and you got yourself a great ride. Great Mexican restaurant in northfork made the Dr a little more top heavy after. Jp the bigger tank rocks! No more worries with range now. Although u gotta watch those noob mistakes in slow u turns and not let it dump you over when its over half full. Or maybe ill just say I dumped it like a noob:roflg. Thanks for showing the way Joe. I enjoyed myself and your tour. :clap

    Casa Cabana is the best in there is IMHO. Yeah Kimboy the ride was, low dust, cool temps, nice stuff. I was surprised at how different Browns Meadow road out of Gaggs is when going up the grade. I don't really count the 1 mph mistake a noob mistake. Shit happens on top heavy bikes. We will do this again and Tuesday of next week looks like a likely day on my calendar. You all get to coughing. McKay?

    Sounds like a great idea. I'm in:D

    I've seen some of the larger threads doing a get together & shoot the shit night....although weekly is far too frequent for me, but I like the idea of getting together on a more regular basis. Anyone else? It doesn't have to be at the same place every time either. just a cool kick back spot to get some good grub with good company...maybe get some more lurkers to show up & ride if they can meet us first....or decide they should never ride with us:lol3.
