I can't pass up.....hope to make the next one if I can't make this. Have fun.............

Today has turned into ass-on-fire Friday. No RTE for me.

I might get over to the "training grounds" tomorrow though.

in 75' when I was cutting my teeth on a yammy RT3 (DT-360), my pal picked up that Kaw 250 trials bike....(we both worked for dealerships)

we did a whole lot of tight technical woods riding back then.... it was a nice bike, but still a bit heavy as a "trials bike"
I bought a TY250 off a work friend and really had a blast on it...

still, the Montessa's and Bultaco's and of course the Ossa's were all much lighter....but they all had "seats" and were road legal, which was important for getting to and from our little wood lots. Also keeping us from getting busted up near Redbridge / Westline / Kinzua area of Pa. in the Allegheny forest on the fire roads

No RTE for me today either...it seems like everybody in Richmond decided to fall, fight, burn, puncture, cut or fracture something at work today! Must be the full moon!

The weather for riding tomorow afternoon looks amazing! Sunny and 65 degrees!

Michhub · 11-30-2012, 11:01 AM

Alamo was mighty good today...sorry to those who missed it...nice to meet btblueskies & Co....
Here is what Todd is tossing around the training grounds right about now

My combo platter...pork & brisket...

Rick Kickin' it up a bit...

Put that damn camera away will ya

Had to take a little stroll after that load

And cleaned up the little one for tomorrow....just to get it dirty again...

toddzacker · 11-30-2012, 11:16 AM

No accidents in the pants at the training grounds...ran every where except the single track that got Eddy & Andy last weekend.

Did the hills to the platto & the donut(lingo I picked up from one of the locals just now) Did the single track back there and got hung up on a rock when I cut up a hill but spun over it...
Other than that it was fine on the TKCs. I would not have made it up over that part with the Tourance on the rear.

Thanks Jimmy for taking me out here...good time...can't wait for tomorrow...

Looks like ya'll had a pretty good turnout for the vittles. I decided to stay put and wrench on the several bikes I have in here right now. Besides, the way my teeth have been for the last couple of weeks or so, I'd have to settle for Pablum, mashed potatoes, soup, of some other mushy stuff I didn't have to chew. It sucks because I love to eat. Unfortunately, those kinds of meals are not in the cards right now.

I didn't win the Power Ball, so implants are out (sorry Todd), but just need to muster up the courage and gum (no pun intended) tion to get these remaining fookers ripped out and go the teeth-in-the-jar routine. Frustrating, and scares the beejesus out of me to go through the routine, but it's also as frustrating watching you FF chow down on those delicious vittles.

AAARGH!!
