Yipee Ki Yay!!!

I think this would qualify as my ride report for my first trip to Chadwick:

I think next time I'll find a group of 12 year old kids to follow, as they are probably more aligned to my skill level when climbing hills

Weather permitting (highs in the upper 40's or above - no rain), my brother (jasbaum) and I are planning on heading down to Walters Ranch on Sunday, March 3rd. We've been down there twice now, and really enjoy the trails. The drive is about 2 hours from Blue Springs. In the past, we've hit the road ...

NOPE...NOPE...NOPE....NOPE....NOPE!

I just reserved a cabin with 2 doubles for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. According to the website, they charge a 30% deposit at the time of the reservation. However, she explained that my credit card won't be charged the 30% unless we decided to cancel after April 11 (14 days prior to check-...

Stu - thanks for coordinating this ride. Randy, James, and myself were the guys who stuck around, and had a great time. The weather was perfect, and the trails were nice and dry.

I haven't gotten to take the DR-Z off road since the Arkansas trip, so count me in on Saturday. My brother (jasbaum) is working on getting his on-call schedule freed up as well. See you at 12:30!

I think this is the video mentioned during the meeting last night:

Thanks for the tutorial, Troy! You were correct to suspect an ad-blocker add-on running. After tweaking the settings to allow ads on rideforum.net, I was able to get the links to show (minus the graphics on all but Amazon - odd). However, the links still work fine. As for feedback: As long as the ad...

Not sure if it's the way my browser is configured (Chrome), but I don't see any vendor links at the bottom of this or any other page on RideForum. However, I did create bookmarks as instructed in your later post. Christmas shopping is still in full swing, so I should be able to throw some traffic th...

If memory serves, the "WD" in WD-40 stands for "water displacement", which would make its primary function a rust-inhibitor rather than a lubricant. There are several articles online which seem to back up the idea that it's not an ideal chain lubricant. http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/how-to/pr...

I can't remember having so much fun on a motorcycle as I did this past weekend. Thanks again for all the planning and preparation leading up to this ride. Being able to follow a group veterans my first time down there made all the difference. Count me in for the next trip! Below is my attempt to lin...

Quick update on jasbaum and my status. Due to Friday work conflicts, we'll be heading down tomorrow late-afternoon/evening. We'll either unload in Fayetteville or Mulberry Mountain Lodge (depending on the weather, and when we get out of KC), meeting the group in Ozark tomorrow night.

It looks like jasbaum and I are back to riding down early Saturday morning, as his work schedule doesn't allow him to fly back Thursday night as we'd hoped. We're still planning on meeting the group in Ozark by the planned 9am departure. James is in San Diego all week, but I'm planning on being at C...

James and I spent last weekend tuning up both the bikes and the trailer. Also, it looks like we'll be heading down on Friday afternoon instead of early Saturday morning. Our new plan is to meet up with the group on Friday evening in Ozark(AR), and be ready to ride Saturday morning.

Lets plan on finalizing the date tomorrow. We don't all need to carry tool, tubes and tire irons so we can figure out what everybody has so we don't have duplicate efforts. +1!!!!! I say we splitting it up among us is a great idea. It can be a fair amount of weight to carry and it is stupid for eve...

Enjoyed the ride and dinner last night. Good to meet you all. Looking forward to seeing you on the trails in the future...
