Let's see those bikes

Hey thanks! While I might've made it to the top, I'm sure it wasn't pretty. After I got to the top a group of SxS came through. I told them what I had just accomplished and one of them asked if I carry my balls in my backpack.

Admittedly there was a point where I thought of leaving the bike and coming back for it the next morning. Luckily my buddies, that turned around, came down from the top to help me over about a 4 foot ledge. After that I was able to finish riding to the top.

I or the bike didn't sustain any serious injuries. My one buddy dropped his bike to the low side of the hill and he went with it. "Luckily" a tree caught him not too far from the bike. Knocked the wind outta him and left a softball size bruise on his thigh. Wasn't terrible though, he was back riding the next day.

All n all was a good trip but like most vacations it was too short. Got in about 160 miles of riding.

 

I certainly don’t see a path that I’d like to ride a bike on! Good for you!

 

It takes a little imagination. Although, most would just see it as a pile of large rocks.

For those interested, here's the first YouTube video that popped up from a search. I only watched a couple seconds but seemed they had some good shots.

 

Yup, ill keep it to the streets dispite the dangers there! That’s sick!

 

A radio flyer sidecar?! Sign me up I have a 20 something hp v-twin engine from my old craftsman mower that one day I'm going to put on my own minibike, whenever I get around to building one. That would be the bike to put a sidecar on

 

The Radio Flyer sidecar is genius!

 

Oh that's gonna be something. lol Former coworker slapped a Vanguard 18hp into a random go cart frame and created something dangerous. He wouldn't let his kids near it!

 

What a tease!!!

 

Finally replaced the gear position sensor. Not too bad. Had to unbolt the shock so I could gain enough access to get a wobble extension on my custom socket.






Just need to take it a ride. Dash said N so that’s a good start.

 

Rode in a hare scramble yesterday. 3 nine mile laps are what I finished in about 3 hours. Needless to say, there was some tight single track. Averaged about 10mph.

 

It's not just old age. Ones last ride could be anytime.

I was at this last hare scramble Sunday. They run a 50s race at 9, kids bikes at 10, and big bikes at 12.

Here I am gearing up for my race, at my vehicle, and what walks by? A kid and his parents. Kid was whimpering and left arm was in a makeshift sling. Overheard his parents say they were on their way to the closest hospital. They were pretty sure it was broke. Hopefully that wasn't his last ride....

 

I know how good their bikes are. I'm also aware of this type of stuff.

 

Traded from 2 wheels to 3
2023 Road Glide 3, 1800 miles, Kona approves

 

Followed me home today. Guess I will have to keep it. Will use it for milk runs to Safeway and on some of the easy National Forest trails that are open for 2 wheeled motorized, E-bike, mountain bike and horses. Will greatly expand my mushroom hunting and general hunting areas. The truth is that at 72 I am having a late life crisis and don't have enough money for a red Mazda Miata or Corvette.

 

Nice, enjoy the ride
