    The weather at the beach has been crappy, so I did a little weather check for Hollister and
    liked the sunny 80 degree forcast. The weather was great and only me and 20 other riders
    had the park to ourself. I have never seen the place so empty??? RED STICKER. Economy,
    Time of year (it is normal to hit +100) ???

    Anyway my plan was to get a little air time on the 2011 TE 250. I rode the three tracks
    (Vintage,SX and TT) , most of the blue squares and some black diamonds alone.... The
    250 ripped up that place in 4 hrs and was voted "Nicest Bike in the Park" by a local gal !!!
    I did see a new 449 or 511 putting around.

    I am very happy the way my 250 is running right now (Full LEO kit, Power Commander/Auto-tune
    map created for my bike and the way i ride it. Auto-tune has been removed and Ti-header has been
    installed. IMGP0001.JPG IMGP0001.JPG IMGP0003.JPG IMGP0004.JPG

    "Nicest Bike in the Park"? Sounds a little interesting ;)

    The track is place for logging air-time ... But I'd watch that rear license plate holder though .... It might develop a crack :(

    Don't those bikes come with a Ti-header from the factory?

    Dang, She was hitting on me ??? The whole time I thought she " Liked my Husky" ....

    Air-time was achieved for me ( 49+ ridding 41 yrs.). Let the plastic fall off. Ha Ha.

    I have been running the stock header SS I think ? with the Auto-Tune broad-band O2 sensor to make a map.

    All is Good

    20 riders at Hollister on a Sunday? :confused:

    Maybe something else was going on?

    I live there and in the summer your lucky if you see 20 riders on a weekend.

    We all ride there in winter, you will see 200 to 300 riders every weekend, Dec through April or till the rain stops.

    This year we had one of the latest rains in history...June 18th A half inch of rain fell in Hollister with perfect motocross trails.
