DS Dirty Dirty Ride

[Bashed]

Dual Sport Ride
Saturday afternoon, meet @ 12:00 to ride.
Western Omlette @ 11:15 to eat.
Should be back by 5:00 PM
Low impact ride to Canyon City and back thru Cripple Creek.
Down Shelf Road and up Phantom Canyon if it is opened.
I heard on ADV that it might be closed due to road repair.
If it is we can retrace our route. You will need a plated bike
and a desire to get it dirty. If you want to, bring a non dirt
orientated type bike. My CBR could make this ride but that
would be like racing world super bike with a scooter, sure you
can but why embarrass yourself and ride alone.

Hey Bashed, how is this for a newb dirt rider? The wife wants to hit this.

[salsashark]

Damn... I need to get plates on the KLX

[Devaclis]

Dude, take the Triple!!!

[dallas]

Damn... I need to get plates on the KLX
Another KLX............Nice..........

I should be able to attend.

Dana, you guys should come down too!!!!

[Devaclis]

Would the Pie be able to handle this? She has only ridden 1 dirt road so far, no single track or anything.

Hey Bashed, how is this for a newb dirt rider? The wife wants to hit this.

Speaking from experience on this one.........Bash is never good for a newb dirt rider!!!!!!! Uhmmm let's see here broken wrist, dislocated knee. :yes: Oh and this his idea of some good husband and wife fun together :cry:



I make it a habit to never ride dirt with Bash........even at his easiest "extreme" is a word that comes to mind.


But we shall wait for Mr Bash to come along and give his recommendation........wow if he say's yes maybe I will go too. I would have to say that Sweetie might not have the best time though he does like it rough and dirty dirty.........





Oh relax Bash :shocked: you can unpucker now I'm only kidding I will be at the mall.

[Devaclis]

Sweetie REALLY wants to go on this so we may hit it up and just stay at the back of the pack all day :)

I am excited to get her on a proper dirt ride. No time to be a pussy, just fuckin' ride it hard and fix it later.

[salsashark]

Dude, take the Triple!!!

Ummm no... the triple stays off the dirt.

[dallas]

No time to be a pussy, just fuckin' ride it hard and fix it later.
I like where your head is at........

I strangely have to agree with dallas here...MORE MORE MORE! Please

[Drift]

I strangely have to agree with dallas here...MORE MORE MORE! Please

I'm starting to feel like I need a cigerette...

[dallas]

I'm starting to feel like I need a cigerette...
Smoking mine now.............and I don't even smoke!!!!!!!!

[y_merkle]

Smoking mine now.............and I don't even smoke!!!!!!!!
that's right! You prefer to wrap your lips around other things... LOL! I couldn't resist man you set yourself up for that one!

[Devaclis]

OMW to see Dallas right now. I also need a "smoke"

Anywho, once I find out what kind of terrain we are dealing with the wife and I can commit :) If not, we can at least meet for breakfast!!

[zetaetatheta]

If I don't have to go to Denver, count me in--and us slower folk can ride together. Time for that new tire!

[gsxrscott]

It will be mostly dirt roads wide enough for a car but an over abundance of washboards. It might be muddy from the recent weather but no deep stuff cause the roads are pretty hard packed. Oh yeah, I'm in.:scramble:

[zetaetatheta]

I was on part of shelf road Sunday no mud, and no dust.

[Bashed]

This ride is newb easy. there is only one part that might be difficult going up and over the 1st tunnel. I will be happy to ride any bike up and over.
My wife made it up and over last year no problem. And she wreaks on the flat level section grabbing a handful of front brake. All of the rest is like Gsxr Scott says, wide enough for a car, hell ,its the old railroad bed from Cripple Creek, so it isn't even steep. It does gain elevation all the way to CC though, so bring some warm clothes as 75 here means 55 up there. I layer so I can give and take as neccesary. See you people on Saturday.

Peace Bash

[Devaclis]

Awesome! If the weather holds, we will be in your gang of troublemakers :)

[dallas]

We don't make trouble, it seems to gravitate towards us.......

[Bashed]

Deviclis, you know what they say,
Once you go south, you might not return.
I mean, once you go south, you might end up in jail.
I mean, Dallas will show you a great time.

[Devaclis]

Dallas has come to the North to party a few times. Gotta repay the favor!!

OMFG Dana....must you drag that pic out again??? lol

[dallas]

Well, it does show both of our best sides...............

[= Buckeye Jess =]

Well, it does show both of our best sides...............
Uh huh....and that is exactly why I've made it the wallpaper on every computer I touch...

Methinks we're gonna have to burn whatever hard drive that photo resides in! lol

[dallas]

Hush your mouth, you know you liked it!!!!

[= Buckeye Jess =]

Pssst.... that's why we need to burn the evidence there Daddy-o! :)

It's ok. Most poeple think the DS in the title stands for Dual Sport, but it actually stand for Dirty South, for obvious reasons.........

Nice!
By the way, way to use your whole hand on that booty spank! Like I always say,
"I promise to keep my hand where you can feel them at all times!"

[gsxrscott]

Steal the old mans yamaha and come with us Yvonne.

I wish, but it's way too tall for me and I'd crash it. He'd be very upset if I wrecked his baby. Maybe I can get him to go though. He really needs to get out of the house.

[dallas]

I always thought you were a decent level headed person. Now I know you are just like the rest of us!!!!

[GregsGSXR]

I'm in. Dana, let me know if you want to ride down together.

[636chick]

Dana just tell Sweetie Pie that if Bash or G-Spot Scott say "hey follow me" she needs to stop and turn around and run away, run away fast!!!!!!:shocked: Bad JuJu indeed!!!! :no: :wtf:

[y_merkle]

Well I am from the springs!!!

[gsxrscott]

See Brian now you have no excuse since the wife WANTS you to go!:)

[Tipys]

^^^NO SHIT

[GregsGSXR]

Bashed, is this the same ride we did last year?

[Bashed]

Wow, looks like we are going to have a large turnout.
That's great! The SOCO welcomes you to our neck of the woods.
See you'all on saturday. Bring your camera's for the inevitable
dirt naps the bikes will be taking. The trick is to get the shot
before they can pick the bike back up.
Peace Bash

Love to make it, but I has a date with the Missus all day. You guys be safe

[Bashed]

You guys be safe


Thats funny right there, cuz I am the safety guy at work.
We will have a safety meeting before the ride, lol.
It looks like the weather is going to be on the cool/cold side so
dress accordingly.We will ride even if it snows, just adds another
element to overcome.

Deviclis,
If it's just the same to you I will meet you @ the Western Omlette down in the Springs. Are you riding down or trucking to the meet spot?
Peace Bash

[GregsGSXR]

I am meeting Dana at the the gas station at 10:00 and then we will meet with you all at the western omlette.

[Devaclis]

We are ridin' :) DS at it's best right?

BTW: Don't laugh at my paper tag. I DO know how to ride! LOL

[GregsGSXR]

As always I had a blast! We will have to do it again soon.

Here is what I had for pictures.

Looks like you all had a great ride! Thanks for sharing.

[Devaclis]

I had a blast guys. Thanks Bashed and Scott for showing us a really nice route. Thanks for waiting for us, a LOT :)

[Bashed]

I had a great time yesterday. Thanks to the Northies for comin down to our neck of the woods. Next time maybe we wiull head up to your side.
Hope you all got home OK. Dirt naps suck, but are a part of dirt riding.
Peace Bash

[Sweetie Pie]

I had a great time yesterday, but I'm hurtin' today. I think my bruises have bruises!! Thanks for posting your pictures, Greg, and thanks for not taking any pictures of me falling down!

[Bueller]

If you guys get up here we will hook up for sure, I'll let Bash diddle his ol'e mistress for old time sake.
Would have joined you on this but Rampart opening got first right of refusal. And I would have trucked down that far, how was that ride?
