West Fest 2009 Buena Vista, CO (7/30-8/2)

I was planning to take the big bike out for a short road trip today. But my never say "no" wife said NO. She isn't ready to see me riding yet. So shortly after she left. I took the dirt bike for a quick spin around the block.

So, it has started again. I will be in fine riding form for WF. I can't wait to get back on those high mountain trails.

Dont Piss her off! She has access to your body while you are sleeping!!!!!:eek1

Mommer and I have been out making sure all the trails are ok for you guys. You can thank us later.

Thanks Duke
Every time that I am in the Arkansas valley I is awe struck. Next fall we all will be riding across the valley from where Duke is. We will be riding up in those snow capped mountains. I hope to make FMF. While I am there I want to get over to the WF side and take lots of photos.

:fyyff

This helps justify the cost of new tires . Riding off the tarvy on Stradas is a bit unnerving at speed.

You wouldn't have liked it anyway.

I am working on a deal to have ADVmember who rents bikes to come to the event. If it works out. Guys like you could ride your road bike to the rally. And rent a DS or dirt bike and ride some trails.

Just an update. Havn't got the formula completely figuresd out for beer training for WF09. But the beer per foot of incline formula is getting close. I'll be EXPERIMENTING this evening. Do not expect any results as I will be rather INVOLVED in the testing. Hope to have the formula nailed down soon. until then, figure a 6pack per 500 feet of incline difference consumed every first day:huh , and on fri., sat., double the intake. This Should get you ready for west fest I should get a kick back from the beer dist.

I am so in for this!!

I'll take a big XR!!

IN!

Make it happen!!!!

The T shirt design looks good.




(10 years ago) I love this side of the range, it's so different than the East side.

The boy and I may be interested in that.

Got any details you can post?

I can't post any details on the rentals. I am talking to the vendor. He is looking very hard at the amount of funds that it takes to make this happen. He is watching this thread. So if you have an interest in renting a DS or a Dirt bike. Please post about it.

It'll be good to hang with you, Walt!

For you West Festers traveling in. We just started taking reservations and have a thread started in vendors.

Trailer into Colorado Springs. Drop your truck and trailer, ride the good stuff.
We hope to have some basic generic supplies ready by then as well. (tires, tubes, tool coop, maps, bags ect.)

Started by a couple inmates:
CVESTAL (Chris Vestal)
nada de lujo (Chuck G.)

Hope to help out a couple YFF soon!
We are taking reservations and space is limited...

D00d!

It'll be your fault (and your pics), if I buy a barely legal dirt bike, and trailer it out to WF.

My wife is gonna be mad at you.

I could do a dirt bike. I havnt been on one in forever

I'm dumb enough to give it a try anyway. You can do anything with anything just not at the same speed.

in 1998 I rode a street bike over Tincup Pass, from the St.Elmo side.

"They" told me it was easy enough that I could make it on my '83 FT500 Honda. And I did. I didn't set any time/trail records.

I thought I had really done something. When I got up there, some dude had come up the opposite side from Mirror Lake, on a seriously clapped out SOHC 750 Honda 4 cylinder.

Any one up for writting a forum letter asking for door prizes?
