3rd Annual DAMN Rider Event/Cookout/Renunion

[mtd679]

Thanks Rob and Ken for putting together such a fine event. Had a great time, and it was nice seeing everyone.

Sorry we missed ya'll on Sunday. I figured there'd be a couple of stragglers by the time Kathy and I got back from our ride. Thanks for putting our stuff together for us, and Dave thanks for making sure we got it okay.

had a great time, this is still very beta I banged it out real quick over lunch this afternoon:

This is the route we took in both directions. I need to tweak it some, add some arrows make the different track logs different colors etc etc, but I think it's a start. I'm going to add support for routes and waypoints. Maybe this could morph into something the DAMN site can use to maintain a group list of waypoints and routes.

I just tossed a bunch more pix on my photo site. Have a look
Did our Harrisburg riders make it back OK? I gotta tell you guys those boys have some SWEEEET XR650Rs
Met this car washer when Jay and I stopped for a fill up. It just seemed appropriate that she should be next to a dirty bike
Pix are here...

If anybody wants a higher res of anything you see here, I can email them. Originals were shot at about 10 megs a pic. I'm on cable so no biggie, but if you have a 5 meg limit per email I need to know to scale back to your limit size.
Great ride gentlemen. I'm always impressed how everybody seems to get along at these events. Quite an interesting group of guys and everybody had a common goal of raising hell on dirtbikes. AMEN.

Zina and I managed to drop by G7 for a couple hours on Saturday, and were greeted with a DAMN warm welcome. I'd planned on just hanging out and catching up with The DAMNed Crew, but Bucho tempted Zina with a DR, and Ken had me throw a leg over his EXC (sweet bike, BTW), and Zina got her first taste of Dual Sport riding -- she's been across the country three times on a street bike, but up until Saturday, had never turned a wheel on dirt.

She was wearing an ear-to-ear grin when we got back, so I think she liked it, and with any luck, may be hooked. We're shopping for gear on Craig's List. Thanks to Jeff for the gear for Zina, and thanks to the guy that lent me the helmet, sorry, I don't remember your name.

It was great to see everyone, and a DAMN shame we didn't have more time to hang out and enjoy some charred stuff off the grill.

Oh, yeah, and we managed to get my sister-in-law's car washed up and you can hardly tell I took it on the ORV loop. Really.

That is good news Al - getting Zina on the dirt will definitely get you more time riding!

As usual, it was DAMN good to see you!

I want to say thanks to everyone for a great weekend. Dan and I had a great time thanks to all the guys for making a girl feel welcome. Also thanks for letting me show some of you my favorite parts of greenridge on our dual sport ride Sunday. It was a fantastic weekend full of fun riding and conversations. Can't wait to do it again hopefully soon. I will post some pics soon just wanted to say thanks. Dawn

Thanks for the great time everyone. And thanks to Dan and everyone else who helped repair the Husky. It was great geting to see everyone again and also meeting some new people. Once I have some time to edit some of the videos, I'll try and post them.

here's a fun fact leaving bills place after running into you all on our way out. If you roll on hard on High Germany road at the top of there hill there is a jump in the pavement around 85mph
