So it was the last day to ride red sticker bikes for the season until October 1st, and I spent the day riding my WR300 around McCain Valley. It was a peaceful, scenic and sometimes technical day on the trail. Not another soul around. No ticks. This evening's horny toad has been brought to you by: Kodak and Husqvarna (the Italian one). Hmmmm....Big Rock looks so teeny from here, but I can fix that. There....that's somewhat better. Another big rock, somewhere far from Big Rock. Not quite as large, but still pretty impressive as big rocks go. Somewhat of an artsy fartsy big rock.
Oh yeah....and if anybody was wondering how big Big Rock actually is, here's a picture from a ride a few weeks ago.
I can use the bike if I want to drive far enough north. 260 miles will put me into some really nice Red Sticker riding for the summer on the Kern Plateau. I'm hoping to make it there this year for a riding vacation.
Just keep on going north ......to north idaho...the DMV handed me a plate when I bought my wr 300 ...hehe..fairly common to see 4 wheelers and dirt bikes on the street going to grocery store etc...I ride the steet to my favorite trails........even saw a snowmobile in a Starbucks drive through......here 2st are king, and out number the 4st...1200 miles of trails from idaho,Montana and wa........to think of some gov telling me to ride this bike or that bike at what time seems ridiculous....
I would have my 300 plated in a flash if I could. There ARE ways of doing it, but it is so complicated, time consuming and expensive that most people, myself included, don't bother. In the good old days in California (before EPA and CARB) it was not such a big problem to get a two stroke dirt bike plated for the street, and that's why I have hung onto this little bike for all these years.
Idaho is sounding better all the time ... If you let all of us ride our dirt bikes on the streets\hiways in some manner, ESP out west in the badlands, many of us would just ride them to the ~first trail and get off the hardtop as soon as possible to save our knobbies and start the real riding .... No harm at all to anyone ...
Yeah, but the Kalifornia enviro koo koos don't want anybody on the dirt. That's what this is REALLY all about.
