Re: April 3-6, 2008: April Fool's Ride in Arkansas!

Randy, give me some names--real or screen names is fine. I got you and Sandy of course. Yeah, on that big LC4, you still had not trouble riding a massive wheelie through a deep mudhole soaking me and my camera with that stench. On the 525, what you gonna do? Jump the mudhole? Remind me not to ride d...

Re: April 3-6, 2008: April Fool's Ride in Arkansas!

All, regarding rooms...be patient with me...I could have just paid sticker price and been done with it. Instead, I'm in dragged out, but friendly negotiations to get a hopefully much better deal. Right now, I'm targeting both "The Lodge" and both "Star" options at http://www.mulberrymountainlodge.co...

Sean, you building new routes? Man, that is sweet music to my ears. For those of you who don't know, Sean has super-human, unnatural, some say mystical route building powers. We don't ask how. We just load the file into our GPS and ride. 8) Since last fall, I've spent countless hours compiling what ...

Re: New bike for Troy? DR350SE for sale?

That explains it, Stu. Yeah, I'm really looking forward to having a powerful, light, agile machine with great suspension. I hope you are right about it being relatively easy to adjust and maintain. I'm ready to learn. Based on the number of people lining up to test ride it, I think I need to sell ti...

Re: Who was that on the Sherpa?

We actually have a logo now, thanks to our own KCHusky. But, ashamedly, I've not redesigned the site yet to incorporate the logo. It's cool, though. I want stickers and "business cards" made so we can hand them to other riders we meet. I've seen that Sherpa rider a few times. I don't think I know wh...

Re: April 3-6, 2008: April Fool's Ride in Arkansas!

Do we need to have plates on our bikes to ride here? To add to what Safiri said, technically, yes, you need a street-legal, plated machine. We'll cruise a 5 mile section of Hwy 23 (The "Pig Tail Trail") often as the Mulberry Mountain Lodge is on 23 and Turner Bend, where we gas up, is on 23. We'll ...

Re: South Wabaunsee county - 1/06

Went for a little spin myself. Yikes those "dirt" roads are nothing but soupy, sticky mud right now. Caught me a bit by surprise. Had to make a large donation at the carwash. Larry, how'd you fare?

Thanks, Dean!

Yeah, the 610 is a great bike, as attested to by Big Dog Mark Sampson when he did Baja on his 610.

STATUS UPDATE
I'm waiting on a reply from the Mulberry Lodge. I'm doing my best to get us a better than list price deal on their rates for 3 nights. I spoke to them 2 days ago and then again last night. I'm expect to hear something back today. 8)

Oh man---should be great weather, too. Probably one of the best opportunities this winter to get a good ride in. Thanks to these guys for their willingness to host the ride. I will not be able to make it, but I hope there is a great turnout.

Re: In case your bored??

That was a cool video---what a great setup on that property. Of course I've got basically the same thing in my backyard except without the jumps and all within about 4000 sq ft.
