Hare Scramble

[Bueller]

Postpwned!

1 week

[Buddau]

I won't put my cold riding gear away yet.
As of now next week looks to be sunny but in the low 40's. That's much better riding conditions.

Snow is lame.

I might be doing this HS after all.... hmmmmmm thats only if I get talked into it by then.

My Other Ride's a Hoopty

Hoopty, duh. :P Two hours running hard in the snow/dirt too, poor guy...hopefully EMTs will be on hand for the eventual heart attack.

[Clarkie]

well since Scott and I are stuck in a hotel in Rawlins probably a good thing, I80 ucks ass when it is solid ice for 216 miles straight

[Bueller]

WTF are you doing up in Gawds kountry?

[Clarkie]

went out to Utah for a sponsor meeting and rather than drive home last night we ended up at a dive bar with some friends

Mrs. Weed's CRF230, maybe it will help me decide between da hondas and da yamis

[Bueller]

There is no comparison between the 230 and a WR250, the 230 is a beginners bike, and the suspension is only slightly better than your old XR200. Give it a whirl but I think yopu should be looking at the CRF250X if you want a honduh.

Just wondering, but where was the postponement of the race communicated other than through forum word of mouth? Where is the official "word" sent out?

Enclosed you will find the hotline # but TT Rocky mnt. region forum is the most up to the minute source.
VDR Pete is the man.

[Buddau]

Ralph, I gave the phone number previously. That way anyone could get the "official" word.
As Bueller stated, Thumper Talk is where VDR Pete posts up to date news about VDR.
I also gave a link to the VDR website that you can find any info you will ever need to learn about VDR.

VDR may postpone the race due to the cold weather. Everyday I check the weather forcast, Sunday looks worse.
Check with the VDR hotline 303-477-6979 for up dates.

Again, Bueller is correct. I was considering a CRF 230. Somehow, Bueller knows what he is talking about. I would agree with Bueller in that the CRF230 would be out grown very quickly. A CRF250X or WR250F is the way to go.
I love my WR250F.

Somebody told me what to say

Ash, a newer XR250 is a really capable bike also, I had one a few years back, and just to see if it was worth a crap I took it CCW on the Bear Creek trail (now closed), It was the most difficult sustained trail in the Rampart system. It got my fat ass over everything with out a problem.
They are kick start only though.

Since I will probably only have one foot down on the big girl bikes I definitely want an electric start. Were going to keep an eye out for a CRF250X or WR250F still

[Buddau]

You can get one foot down? I have to find a high spot or use my trailer.
I''m still taller than Geko.

[FZRguy]

Have the bike lowered so you can touch the correct way...by shortening the stroke of the forks/shock. It's expensive but will dramatically improve your confidence and riding.

[Buddau]

Thanks for the tip, but I'll be OK. Oh, were you talking to Ashli?

[FZRguy]

Yeah, it prolly wouldn't help you much.

[Bueller]

Are you saying there is no hope for Rich

I dont have any problem with only getting one foot down, I dont need to touch both feet down at the same time when I ride anyway I hate how low my bike was so lowering the next one isn't really an option. My confidence is probably too high when I go riding anyway in other words it wont effect it.

You know, if you are real nice to me, I may lend you the CRF250X to try out. If I can ever get it back from Epic, I am planning on going to the Hare Scramble. If you are there, you can take it for a spin (assuming I don't total it in the scramble).

[Bueller]

Lookie there Ash, you just might get to ride a girls bike after all.

[Buddau]

There is hope for me because you can teach an old dog new tricks. Your living proof of that Bueller.
