Dang i gotta join the jet-set......you guys are killin me with thoughts of riding in your neck o the woods!! Sending out the best wishes for a great/fun get together, you guys rock. R
Gathering is still on...I say again....Gathering is still on. I do ask due to an unforseen obligation to my Uncle (Sam that is) and Norm attending a medical appointment, that all please try to time their departures so that no one arrives before mid afternoon on Friday the 14th. Thanks Joe
Hey Norman, No sense waiting. Jump a jet and come to Bend. Shoe horm Joe into your luggage while you are at it.
Glad you guys had a good time. Turnout OK? See you in 2 weeks - BTW Vets should fly free, anywhere any time.
Thanks Joe and Norm, for a great time !!! Great riding,people and just a bit of rain for dust control. GREAT JOB thanks you guys rock. See ya next year.
I had a great time as well, thanks for putting in the work to host this event. I loved the trails and the track. I got more into that track with every pass. Hope to come back next year. Thanks again, Greg.
It was wet again... But once we "splashed" alot of the water out of the holes...... Was made tougher by the rain starting (again) But eventually, we got to have straight mud!.... And even the trails began to dry......rutted and holier than swiss chees but not soup! The fun was on!
typical grass track turn mid day Saturday... Same turn Saturday afternoon.....so Fred says.... it is as simple as.... Yeah right......others give it a whirl with mixed results... My turn...uhh...ohhh... Big Beasty WR300 is just gonna chug though the inside line...who says the old frame can't carve! Norm says "hi-diddle -diddle....144 right up the middle! Pete K after it dried just a tad... Breaking a new 167 kit and chugging through it with ease... The "follow the Guinea pig" approach was also used all day...( and no...thats NOT the Guy from "Orange County Choppers!)
It was "Husq-tober-fest!" We had to have a "Husq-ko-lantern" And the KTOOM-O-Lantern" could not "hang tough" and was found later in the woods...very sick from too much adult beverages...(Typical!)
Looks cool here.....fact is .0005 seconds after this picture was snapped...not even the mighty Motoz Enduro S/T's could hold and down I went!
Best for many was getting tips and pointers from Fred Hoess all day. He was never to busy to offer advice and even show a technique. A true ambassador. One turn was just not feeling perfect for me....a little observation and advice... OK get that leg good...and for petes sake get foward Joe He "easily" cut inside and I got mental reminder on how to try next time Got some pointers...tried again...better form... and later in the day....held the line and pulled my worst KTM-like Manners and blocked for all I was worth! We had switched bikes by then so I could try the TXC 250. Talk about Intimidating....Fred behind you on a 125! Sounded like 1,000 hornets chasing me
Great pictures, Joe! I'm still sore that I couldn't make it up this year, but I'll do everything I can to make it up next year! Too much fun to stay away.
