Aw, c'mon, Henry! Load the HayaBago's bags with ballast, stud the tires, and I bet you'd be faster than this:http://www.calculatedrisk.ca/clips/ice2.wmv
Turn the "Elephant Ride" into "Elephant RACE" :D

That actually sounds like fun! and I'm picking up my "new" (Yeah right :roll: ) dirt bike this weekend, mmm.... might have to get more info,mmm.
BTW, you guys seen the vid of the gixxer guys in Finland (or somewhere up there). Kind of like the clip above but two guys with on board cameras it's pretty cool!

Your bike has to be street legal since it's a real road. Then you take some sheet metal screws and drill them into each knob (I'll be riding with my normal street studs), wrap the tires with felt or something, and toss it it the truck. It's a good idea to have a nutdriver and spare screws along. The ride starts around 8 from what I can gather- I guess whenever you feel like starting up.

We're going to try it 2-up and we'll be riding up early in the morning- If anyone is going and is trucking their bike- my chick would prefer to ride in something more heated than my BMW till we get to Grant.

per the link: "These people are looney-tunes. The only uniting theme seems to be the uncontrollable desire to do something silly with motorcycles."
