    Jeff,

    Does Les mind packing my spare TC Zokes home with him for the exact same treatment as he did to my 09's????

    Are we meeting at 2510 instead of Camp II? Just want to make sure we get to the right place.

    Looks like we are going to end up with people at both locations.....which makes either one the right place :) I am leaning towards Camp II myself.

    In any case there was a plan floated to start around 10. The camps are close enough together that it will only take a few minutes to establish who is where and figure out how to contact each other.

    I will have my 610 along so I can just run down the road to the other camp. I know others will have street legal bikes out there.

    2k miles of meandering my way up from So Cal and I arrived in Bend a bit early. I was planning on stopping by Bend Euro Moto for some much needed maintenance but alas, they are no more. :eek: Guess I shoulda checked on that before hand. :(

    I broke my clutch cable pulling along side the park downtown. :lol: Swapped my spare on as I watched the cute girls running by, but I still need to check valves, change oil, get new knobbies, and some misc crap. Any ideas where I should go? I'd rather not do it in some random parking lot or park.

    Sounds like fun cant wait to see all the Huskeys. Dont forget about the elevation over there, may need to drop the needles and mains. Also helps mileage. :cheers:

    Hmm...610...running into town, sightseeing...:thinking:...

    I was wondering about that. What is the elevation range?

    Most of the trails are in the 4500'- 4900' range.

    Yep, the 610 opens up lots of options for exploring beyond the trails. There are some fun paved and gravel roads in the area. I figure to spend one day running around on the 610.

    kewl. I'm looking forward to meeting Les in person (you too, oregon_rider, lol). I enjoyed talking with him on the phone and I love the work he did on my 300. I'll try to minimize picking his brain for suspension info and let him have a nice riding weekend, but no promises.

    +1 I think I need him to re-explain everything he already told me...

    I thought about that, hmm. I originally was gonna head up the coast from the redwood forest to Bandon and do maintenance at my dads place, but I got sick of the coastal cold and wet thing, so I went up Grants pass inland. There was a fun OHV area along the way, hit up Crater Lake, several other lakes etc. :applause: Good grief this thing is a bitch to pick up when loaded.

    The other thing I was thinking was heading up to you and riding back down with you but I didn't know if you were riding down or not. I still have the (424) 241-**** number for you is that still your number? Are you riding down or trucking it with someone?

    wow, you're really early. it's still oct 15-16, right? everyone's scaring me by talking like it's sooner, but i got a 4day trip to the idaho mtns and hotsprings and singletrack this weekend.

    Yeah, I was just in the neighborhood. :lol: Have fun this weekend. I'll make it over to Idaho eventually, hopefully you can give me the Idaho low down on the 15th so I'll know what not to miss.

    Packing up. Gonna go to Bill's in Salem. We'll see if I can find my way there without stumbling into the wilderness area. I'll just tool around for a week, then return for the ride.
