    While Kelly, Brandon and Blake were out riding where I wanted to be I had to settle for this.

    3 144's and a 125 out having some fun yesterday. My brother rode my 125 and I got my first real ride on the 13' 144. The thing really rips, it needs some fine tuning but overall I really happy. All I had done was install a ims tank. hand guards, jd jet kit, and drop 30cc's of oil from the forks. It still needs a suspension re-valve to be fully woods ready but it is good enough for shorter rides as is. For longer rides my 125 is set up better.

    Shane was back on his 144 after a few months of life getting in the way. He still hauls ass.

    My brother only gets to ride a few times a year, when he does a Husky small bore is his ride of choice.

    I pulled over to remove a small log from the trail and parked a little too close to the trail. Shane made it by just fine but my brother came in hot and focused on my bike. He barely tapped it enough to knock it over. It was going to happen sooner or later.

    Ben also has been on a self imposed break from riding came out to have some fun on his 11 144.

    The trails were a little sucky, well maybe not.

    We had all sorts of interesting weather through the day

    At one point we were above and below the clouds

    My brother finally got to ride one of the more challenging trails in this area, and he rode it well.

    We got poured on on the drive over and fully expected to be wet all day, believe it or not it is raining in this picture but we only got rained on for about 5 minutes. One side of the ridge was clear, the other was cloudy.
