    Good rider...been tearing up the PNW for years....get Nat Wilder there or either of the Richardson's there to give him a run for his $$..ask him about those dudes from back in the day. And yes...6 days guy...last 6 days I recall with him was on trophy team with Fred in 2005 I believe in slovakia..tough year for USA. I think ge got a Silver if I recall....great rider. Last I heard he was a KTM Rep (but it appears almost all of the new Husky crew was...LOL)
    He has done other ISDE's and If I recall clun team rider back to 99 or so.

    Somewhat off topic, but it is possible that HNA will send me their current roster. I am surprised at some of the people who are working their now, pretty impressive...

    Haha, thanks for the vote of confidence. :-)

    I have ridden with Jason before, I had no idea who he was and was leading a group ride of 21 people. He had no problem keeping up and asked if he could lead for a while. He took off and made me work to keep him in sight. He was probably just cruising, I think he ended up leading the rest of the ride. It ended up being a free for all on the last half of the ride. Group rides can be interesting. I think this was 2 years ago or so.

    I will probably not be pushing too hard out there on this trip, china hat is too fast and I am too dumb not to twist the throttle to the stop and leave it there in some sections. :busted:

    Jason is from the PNW and was one of the local fast guys. Not sure anyone here will be able to hang with him but luckily this is a trail ride :D

    I'm guessing that bike will be well used by the end of the event.

    Anyone driving up from California? Unfortunately, I have midterms the following Monday and cannot make the ride. I'm also a slow rider so I wouldn't want to hold you guys up. :)

    That being said, I was thinking about picking up Bill's personal WR150 from his shop. Any chance anyone has extra room to haul it home? I'm in the Sacramento/Davis area.

    Thanks!

    I could probably bring it back.. if you can get someone to transport it from Bills to the Campground, which I doubt would be a problem.

    I'm sure Bill would probably haul it over to Bend. If not, I have room for another bike.

    And speaking of fuel.. what are the prices in OR these days? The price I am paying is about $3.80 for the cheapest unleaded.

    I called the Pilot station in Dunnigan CA (near 505 & 5) and unleaded is $3.65 at the moment.

    Im going to try to get my brother and some other Bend fast guys to come out for a day or two. They are good rabbits for the greyhounds among us to chase around. Unfortunately the 24 Hours of Starvation Ridge is the same weekend so may racers will be up there instead.
