Mar. 28-31, 2013 Death Valley Noob's Rally

+1

Didn't get towed back to camp, but had to put a tube in which then resulted in a cascade of subsequent problems for others (that gave me the tube). I'm still in debt to JoeFromSF, and that ended up being a very late evening (more like early next morning) arrival back to camp...

And the second time you rode 90mph+ just because it's fun.

I'd like to be added to the wait list for 3 nights of camping and food.
I'm not a n00b* on a bike or in the desert and will be on the plated BRP 650R.

* Or ADVrider

If I may add to an add, Steve would like to bring his xr 650r along with Steve (waiting #9) in Steves truck. Fri,Sat. meals. I am 167 with rv dry. Thanks.

Slacker2, you are who I was referring to.

I've got a 1.5gal aux fuel pack to add to my 4.9 gal IMS.

come on rich, you know i don't drink :eek1

And I Thank You for the consideration.

Just a wittle bit

wow member since july and finally the much awaited first post....

good job steve for getting out of lurkydom.

welcome and of course, a plated 650r is no noob's bike.

great write up jack. you have an interesting background.

this one on sale for $2,500 here at local c.l......... but i have a torn right acl so no more kickstarting for me.

Get that thing fixed. I tore mine in the 80's and got it fixed in 95, Picked up a 650r when I got back into riding again and no problem kicking it. As long as you know the trick to it that is!

wish i can but ortho doesn't want to do it. he said i had a good run and should switch to more sedate sports...

bones are fused on right ankle, and that could give in too. on the good notes, after 2 years my xr400 has a magic button now...


socal folks, we need your participation here... let's make it a date!

Update on Noobs Raffle Prize:

KLIM Team Gear Bag

Well, my wife got a me a new set of Dunlop 606s so back to the Karma pile the Metzeler 6 Days Extreme goes. Here are some photos.





I live in Torrance (South Bay) and work in downtown Los Angeles. Also I will likely be making at least one San Diego trip before DV and will be in Corona in mid-February for an Adopt-A-Trail meeting.

So is that how it looks now?

209. steve (slacker2) – CP3 – D3 – xr650 (will be carpooling with baybueller)

dr. jnyrav is also donating a MSR TOOL PAK, no picture but valued at $60....

thank you paul and john.....

Okay, on the waiting list. If I get in...beware...fricken noob in the dirt (only a few times since the teenage motocross days) so will be looking for instruction/easy rides. The KLR should do gooe (the few times I've been off road in Big Bear it worked well). Love to learn/ride more off road!

I'm a noob on a fat pig too.

I'm not signing up for a ride on Thursday, I plan to practice dirt basics on Thursday so I'm a litlte more confident for an actual run on Friday, you're free to join with me.

Sorry for the confusion. There are 2 Steves bringing 1 truck and I have the RV.

So it will be:

167. robert (baybueller) – BT2 – D2 - klr650

209. steve (slacker2) – TR3 – D3 – xr650
239 steve (?) - CP3 - D3 (carpooling with slacker2)


right???
