DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

Is this really that rough of a ride, to not be able to make day 2?

For all you slow guys, I plan on splitting off from Bucho, Grady et al and ride my own pace (slow). Trust me, it is slow cuz I'm lousy at single track.

You fast guys stay with Bucho (if you can).

I have yet to see a dual sport ride in NJ that is rough.

Must ride! fix bike over winter...

As much as I subscribe to that theory, If there is a puddle of oil under your rear shock it is time to fix before riding....I have a few days off and the parts so I'm hoping to get it done as well as the honey-do list.

Oh well, looks like I'm screwed for this one. I was really looking forward to this ride. I took arpart the rear shock and this is what I found

A split in the air bladder.

'So since the forks have been leaking I figure I'll just get'er all done now.

It sucks not having a garage


Have a DAMN good ride everyone, it look like the weather is going to be good.

Its not the ride but the rider. I'm extremely out of shape, and not even sure if I got my overheating issues sorted out on the 510 yet.

I hear you. Heres to hoping none of us have any (ride stopping) mechanical issues.

Sunny maybe but DAMN COLD!

Highs in the lower 50s?

Change wheels - check
adjust rear brake - check
lube chain - check
top off oil - check
eyeball primary sprocket - hmmm... - check

my sprockets are definitely going to need replacement this winter. They aren't SallyDog worn but this will definitely be the last ride before I replace them.

Okay - the DAMN 450 is ready for Hammer Time!

im fat and out of shape and drink lots of beer and i ride both days. parking in the center towards the front, close to last years spot...my site will look like this but with 3 or 4 ez-ups. come on over
