Thursday D/S ride (9/1/11)

[Sean]

I'll have to see how this weekend goes (make sure I don't break anything, but anyone up for next Saturday or Sunday? CSC DS Ride?

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

crap...i'm golfing next sat that i can't get out of and sunday is my neices b-day. there are so many trails up there, we could ride all day. I would def be down for the weekend after next. Let's plan something. I also have a cabin up in St. Mary's that we could use as a base camp and get to all the trails from there.

A little far out to know for sure, but it sounds like it might work.

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

cool...i'm gonna start working on acquiring the kitchen pass now then

if anyone else wants to go, just chime in!

[Sean]

If it's a go, we can post a thread and see if any other yahoo's are in. I might know some people that'll join. Maybe I can even snag a DRZ from a friend, that way I can hit more stuff.

Sorry to jack your thread, Jefe!

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

the event is over...therefore making this the perfect place for jacking, wait that sounds really bad. I will be trucking my drz up to whereever we are going to start the ride. thatisall

Next weekend we have a wedding to go to, but the weekend of the 17th is a possibility.

[Sean]

Travis, any luck on the 17/18th? I can do it, Aracheon might be in, sounds like Jefe may be able to, this could be fun?

[asp_125]

I ought to be able to get my bars swapped out by then.

[Sean]

Jeff, it's pretty easy. I swapped out Angela's and it was pretty easy. The only PITA is the grips. Air compressor or soapy water are your friends.

[swademaster]

Would a bike need to be plated where you guys are looking to go? There would be a slim chance I could make it the 18th.

There are a bunch of numbered FR roads and stuff. I have plates on mine.

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

I'm down for the 17th...maybe the 18th, if the previous day doesn't work out. Let me know so i can start planning for this. we can meet/park at the cabin in alice and ride from there. it's only an hour from denver.

My number is below if anyone doesn't have it.

[Sean]

For me, the 18th would work better. Not sure if that would work with anybody else. Looks like I'm probably hitting up Oktoberfest in Breckenridge on Saturday.

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

let's do this!!!

[Sean]

Aracheon can do Sunday too. We can throw some bikes in his truck and head up in the am.

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

sounds good. haven't ridden w/ the big boys yet...hope my little putter can keep up.

I'll pm you the address for the cabin w/ some directions up there. I'm gonna truck mine up there as well.

what about ASP??? and matty? anyone else down?

[Sean]

I'm bringing Bodhizafa's DRZ (he's on the continental divide trail, he's not going to be riding it), not the KTM950. And Aracheon is on a DRZ too, should be just fine.

Maybe start a new thread?


Dirk, any interest?

[Sean]

Were you checking to see what color the bottom of the skid plate was?

I don't know these trails at all. I'm going to just follow Travis. Travis, are the trails that we're going to ride big-bike friendly? If yes, come on up Scott, I'd like to meet ya.

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

i don't know...never been on a bike bigger than my 400. I'm sure they can be ridden with out issue up there tho. If not, there should be plenty of arms and legs to help w/ any tough spots. But i highly doubt the 950's will have any issues.

starting a new thread in 5...4...3...2...1
