DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

They must be because I have the paper to prove it. The Baja Designs kit on bike is perfect down to the front and rear brake lights plus two mirrors. So I thought it would pass without endangering anybody's license - including mine. The only items that were even questionable were the lack of a swinga...

...Have all pertinent chapters printed and with you during the inspection. If your bike meets these requirements, the inspector has no argument. Good Luck. This turned out to be excellent advice. The inspector initially flunked my bike for not having a chainguard and for the speedo not working. I t...

....I talked to the campground staff and told them the issue with Sunday is that I'll be out riding until late afternoon, but didn't want to stay Sunday night as well; but that doesn't jive with their check-out time. She said it wouldn't be a problem as long as there was no one scheduled to take th...

I am about 3/4's PUI from my birthday dinner but I got a confirmation so I think my registration is in. Now to see about that other 1/4.

Already cleared those dates with Grreatwife and have Friday off work to get there early.

I finished my tire forensics last night: one flat from the valve cap getting crushed inside the stem one classic "snake bite" pinch flat one flat from a valve stem getting torn out plus one brand new front MT-21 with a knob ribbed off and the rear evaporated like smoke. Seven events withou...

Seven times I rode this event and never had a flat. So I switched from centerstand to sidestand for this ride. I should have known better. I started Saturday with a front flat on the first trail. Two guys from Baltimore helped me grunt the LC4 up on some rocks. So I stuck with them the rest of the r...

I am loving this forecast and all the rain BEFORE the ride. The temps should be perfect for wearing an armored jacket instead MX gear. And with the rain dust should be minimal, traction deluxe and the stream crossings entertaining. It beats the hell of riding the event in pouring rain. My last pavem...

That I don't know. I don't use my GPS stuff on the bike. I suspect NVTR's main concern is people that show up for the ride that haven't registered or paid. Every year they have problems with some riders and I suspect most of their problems come from those riders. They told me those outlaw riders are...

At the risk of being indelicate (undelicate?), I also recommend bringing your own TP when camping over in the primitive camping area. You may not want to attempt to use the pocelain convenience by Sunday morning in that section. But, if you are camping there, I assume you already know how to deal wi...
