upper 40s??????

I'm out. Have way too many projects and honey-does to get done.

I just installed my tank and my 450 exc wouldn't start. So after cranking and cranking, I noticed fuel leaking from that rotating brass fitting were the fuel goes into the carb. More cranking. Went around the other side of the bike and noticed the spark plug wire wasn't on! SO then looked up the fuel fitting online. THeres a screw holding the fitting in and 3 o rings...that's gotta be it right? So I took it out, replaced the o's with 3 from a "standard" kit. and tried to re-install. They were a RCH too thick but I strained and pushed and screwed, and kept lubing the rings nad kept trying finally had to shove the thing in with channel locks. But at least it doesn't leak and the bike runs!

Well I'm wearing my thermal underwear for tomoorrow, and maye even a windbreaker tooo. It's gonna be chilly. See ya'll there tomorrow.

Whit the new format this year, what time is everyone planning on arriving?

What a great event today. The new format was great and the trails were perfect. You could ride as many laps on whichever course you wanted from 10 till 2. At the start of each lap you either went through the untimed gate or timed gate if you wanted that lap to be one of your 3 timed laps. Start riding whenever you wanted, and take breaks whenever. Wound up finishing the day tied for 5th place. Was a good turnout and I thought the format was perfect. Made for a fun day of trail riding with the chance of winning a little something.

Where is the pics at???
Sounds like a good time.

I took my #1 daughter, who is older than most of the folks on this site to the event for her 3RD ride.
She had done a half hour in my back yard and an hour at a little kiddy moto track.

She did GREAT. She made 6 laps of the C loop on the FrankenBeta 80 - 4 with me along and 2 SOLO and stood the whole time
This is more time standing than I've done since I started riding again a couple of years ago

The C course was perfect for her with a few deep dips, several small logs, LOTS of very tight turns in the trees and a fast open grass section.
She had a few of minor crashes but was able to pick the bike up and get back on an keep on going like a pro. You guys better practice up or she may make you look bad soon

She really enjoyed it and is looking forward to the next riding opportunity.

I really enjoyed riding with her and then got to do a lap of the A course at the end while she rode solo on the C loop.

I think the only DAMN folks I saw were Grady and the Duchess and BECKYB
(who has been giving me mountain bike riding lessons in the Frederick Watershed in return for me letting her try my FrankenBetas)

Loved your Frankenbetas. The only thing better was the guy who welded a minivan to a horse trailer. The B loop was very long and much better than the slop we delt with last year. They also put chain link down in the stream crossings so they did not get torn up again.
