    On the calender. Cool. I have at least one epic group ride planned for every month now. :thumbsup:

    If I make it over there we can do a 36 to 38 mm PWK comparison. Also, if I make a parts order could you bring them with you? The wife would intercept the UPS delivery and see that I'm spending money again.... :bonk:

    You will want to factor in for the 4000' elevation ....

    I know PKWs are magic, but the elevation might matter.

    That sounds reasonable ... it is the 40' to 4000' foot that I wonder about. If I get my ducks in a row I may have a WR to try this on by then myself.

    pretty much what I ride, no issues. Hood River / coast range (near zero) to Gifford around 4000, with just the air screw. :thumbsup:

    Nope, pretty much all my bikes will do that.

    I'm not trying to sell carbs here, just the facts. I have never rejetted from the coast range to Bend and always ran good regardless of bike.

    when i did the Idaho City ISDE i did need to rejet for the 8000 feet stuff for sure.

    In the olden days coming from Bend we always had to rejet our Bings for Washougal :D (well Mikunis too) I do think carburetors have improved some in the last half century though and water cooling has made the operating temps of engines more uniform.

    Power valves, water cooling, better carbs, better oil, better ignitions, better everything :D

    I think LiL Joe from TT was describing this area near Bend during the D100 campout. Sounded like nirvana. Wonder if I can get away with this AND possibly a Starvation Ridge ride in the same month :)

    Sounds like a great possibility for PNW/NORCAL event.

    Guess I better clean the kegs in case this works out :cheers:

    The wife bought a bigger motorhome yesterday just so we will have a nicer place to hang out for the 1st annual greater Northwest Cafe Husky Rider Fall Get together.

    :applause: for Nancy


    Now we just need to figure out which staging area to camp at...

    Attagirl!

    I'll be dragging the ol' RV over the hill and into the dez myself. Unless my wife doesn't go. Then I'll just sleep in the dirt and save $150 in gas.

    Do you all want this a Husky-only gathering or open invite? It's public land, so nobody can prevent anyone else from going, but not sure if I should extend the invite to non-Husky owners or not.

    Well, she does think the motorhome has other purposes :) but a gift horse is a gift horse and I will take it.

    I was planning to invite my brother since he practically lives at China Hat and he knows all the trails very well ... maybe I can get him to camouflage that orange thing he rides. Be careful about trash talking him, he is in second place in OMRA 50 Expert GP series points race and China Hat is his home turf...but he is a nice guy even if he does ride a KTM.
