Re: RIDE WEEKEND SEPTEMBER 27/28 ON PRIVATE MOTOCROSS TRACK

troy made the biggest gains in ability and confidence. Thanks, Joe! I just want to make sure nobody interprets this incorrectly!Joe is not saying that I exhibited better skills on the track than Kyle. In fact, Kyle was a lot more confident and skilled on the track than me. However, based on where I...

Re: RIDE WEEKEND SEPTEMBER 27/28 ON PRIVATE MOTOCROSS TRACK

What a fantastic weekend! Joe (xrnut), MANY THANKS! I arrived about 2:30 pm on Saturday to find Joe, his wife & 2 boys, my brother (KC), and a few locals hanging out at the track. Some shade, some camp chairs, a couple of coolers, and all the bikes you could want! I unloaded, got geared up, then wat...

Re: Bike Night at Power and Light District

Sorry I could not take you up on it. I didn't notice the post until today, but I could not have joined you anyway. This has been such wonderful riding weather lately. I'm not working in the northland anymore, btw. My office moved to Lenexa. I now live at Metcalf & Hwy 69, so it's a much better commu...

Daryl, the competition on Sunday at the Nebraska riding area starts at 11am. So we'd be leaving Joe's no later than 10:30 I'd guess.

Thanks for posting the photos, Kevin! I didn't take my camera, but Kevin took his video and still cameras. So I took most of the stills and he took lots of video. I got a few good shots in there that show how difficult the obstacles are. http://lh6.ggpht.com/kware1/SNWfMdKrEOI/AAAAAAAABL0/3nauwD7Caa...

Re: RIDE WEEKEND SEPTEMBER 27/28 ON PRIVATE MOTOCROSS TRACK

Guys, it's time to get serious about this coming weekend. Who is planning to go? I just checked the extended forecast. Obviously this amazing weather we are having can't last forever! Right now, Sabetha forecast shows a perfect Saturday and much cooler with perhaps some rain on Sunday. That's no pro...

Re: Sept 20 & 21, 2008: MATT Trials

275 miles total for me today. Kevin & I had a great time. The route up and back was fun. We took a longer route up and so were able to enjoy more twisty pavement through some beautiful country. The trials were a blast. Kevin has a lot of photos to post soon. The trials guys are the nicest people aro...

South side of 152 West of I-35, behind the 54th Street Bar & Grill and some bank on the corner. Look for the windmill.

Sorry these details are coming together so late. I plan to be at the Corner Cafe in Liberty by 9AM SATURDAY to enjoy some coffee & eggs. Bill, if you get this in time--I HOPE YOU DO--I'll be leaving my house around 8AM. I live in the South part of Overland Park near the 151st Street exit on Hwy 69. ...

I spoke to Ken Brown on the phone and he gave me the gate code. I suppose I should not publish it here in the public forum, so call me if you want the gate code. 816-739-9653 On a whim, I asked about camping. He said you can camp right there on the trials grounds. Also, there is a State Park 1/4 mil...

Re: Did anyone else ride to work today?

I do miss being able to hit the backroads and the Weston hills so easily like I did up north. Yeah, me too. I lived just West of Gladstone for 5 years. Now I live in S. Overland Park. However, I've found the gravel roads S of the metro do provide some interesting experiences. Nothing as good as the...

Well, the weather is looking good for this. Anyone thinking about going. I could go either day and would like to take two lane up there instead of I-35. I'm in. I'd like to ride my V-strom and take whatever back pavement we can find. Kware, are you thinking of riding the Harley? Is at least some gr...
