PNW Husky event. Bend, OR. Oct. 15-16, 2010

Thanks ! printed it off... I know we're all trying to do our part and be legal and courteous etc... but I get the feeling or the tone suggests that it's not too friendly to OHV ?

So Coffee, are you in ?

I've never not seen a LEO out there! And they will check your OHV sticker(and you must have the paper that came with it.. just to be redunant) and ram a wire in your can to make shure you have a sparky. Not to put a damper on things but, just be prepared.

The ultimate bumper sticker for this stuff is a dog sitting at a counter of the bank and the teller(another dog) saying " I know you are who you say you are but I have to sniff your butt anyway"

I'm going to need to be removed from the tentative list since it is too close to my Hawaii trip for my wife's comfort. The last time we went to Hawaii part of my tongue was missing and my entire right side was black and blue from an arena-x incident three days before we left. The last words she said to me before I went riding was "Don't come home on crutches" so of course the first words from my mouth (although slurred because 25% of my tongue was gone) was "But I'm not on crutches!" It will take her a while to forget about that one.

Have fun everyone and take a bunch of pictures!

Tis easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission!
Your wife will forget all about it when she's sitting on po'olenalena beach drinking mai tai's.

Or just tell her you're not bringing a bike.






and I'll pick it up on my down

Yep just like you and baja...

She will get over it when you get back.

Later,

Why I oughta :foul:

Spending $200 to camp in Bend is one thing. Dropping $3-4k to race Baja is a whole nother' can of worms.

If I'm spending $4k on anything it'll be a new bike. Or a retainer for a divorce lawyer as I'm on my way to Baja :ride:

I know the feeling exactly. Lots of coin for a little glory, just not my style. I would rather go trail riding, all summer, for less money.

Later,

You and me both buddy!

I was ready to go. Until the cost came into the equation.
I had no idea it was 5 figures to field an amateur team, including a free bike.

Those Score officials must be living the good life.


I'm in the wrong biz!

Count the Chuckwagon Tours gang in on this one.

In an earlier post I saw Camp II as the suggestion, and I would second that. It's a good place for all. Quads work fine over there, but don't expect to mix them in with the bikes, unless the bike riders are really slow, and like lots of dust. Quads (a.k.a. furniture)..... Are welcome anyway.

Looks good.

Thanks to oregonsage for making it and Coffee for posting it!

Put me on the maybe list.

Struck me as odd too. Oregon apparently considers pretty much every thing with an engine and wheels an ATV. But where as we define off-road vehicles as those not intended for street use, they seem to think that any vehicle that is off-road, is an "off-road" vehicle.

Even more retarded is this:

So a 17yo driving his own truck has to wear a DOT helmet. That's just stupid IMO. If it's a matter of safety how does registration, or lack there of, have any bearing on the matter.

And a BMW 1200 GS, given it's weight, wouldn't need a tag. Because it's what? Safer offroad? Does less damage? LOL
