DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

Sounds like you guys had a good time and no trench encounters. Maybe I can make it to the next one. I put the forks back on my dirt bike today. I've been riding to work. I have some strength training to do yet in my hand, but I'm getting there. I'm going to try to convince the orthopedist on Monday...

Yeah, the clake is too dearly priced for me. Since I bought the midwest lever I've seen a few guys mention that they couldn't get the adjustments dialed in on the xtrainer. The thinking is that the slave cylinder isn't the right size. I haven't given up on mine yet. That said, I'll almost certainly ...

That's exactly where the laziness comes in. The XT seems to have a fairly small window for adjusting the clutch lever. I spent a couple minutes playing with it without getting it where I wanted and then just threw the stock lever back on. I was able to get the stock lever adjusted decently without s...

I actually have a midwest lever in the tool bag on the bike. I used it once but was too lazy to spend time getting it adjusted. I'll play with it. I don't know any fancy techniques so hopefully I can get it to work within my limited skill set.

Nice video clip. The trails are being over taken with maple saplings and it is a battle to keep the loop open. Get a copy of the trail map and learn some land marks and intersections and you will have a much more enjoyable ride and will be able to pick up trail you are passing by and will keep you ...

I've ridden a ttr125 at the r&t club grounds and it was not pleasant in the rough stuff. The lady was taller than me but at least she's not nearly so heavy. A grass field or smooth dirt trails would be so much better. One of the r&t members has some land in Shepherdstown that is ideal. I nee...

I forgot to mention a couple things. While we were sitting in the parking lot a gaggle of guzzis went by. 7 or 8 moto guzzis followed by a vfr. This drastically increased the number of guzzis I've seen on the road. The other thing was the guy who brought his wife and a friend to ride at shade. The w...

That sounds about right. I managed to not record the beginning but got 15.8 miles of it recorded.

Ok, so here's the actual ride report, which Sam has requested. The big thing for me is that I've been trying to get a functional GPS setup without spending much money. Towards that end I bought a cheap, used samsung rugby pro phone (water resistant, impact resistant) and loaded up locus pro mapping ...
