no....

hey ya'all watch this?
did screw up a corner on the pavement leading to the dirt part but it's not as noticeable in replay as I thought it was going to be.
I certainly noticed that I feel like I don't ride very well when I know I'm being watched.

It's why people crash on camera....

I miss riding with the vet and Roy and the VT crowd.

We were nuts.

Roy stopped riding.

The vet is always working like me.

The VT crowd is still pretty nuts, but has backed it off a couple of notches too.

The DeVal crowd all got more into the off road stuff now. I've always wanted a dual sport so my getting one (or being a sumo, very close to a dual sport) was more so nice timing rather than reactionary to the others.
However, most of their plans are revolving around the organized enduro meetups. I prefer small groups and right now, exploring all the good stuff right in my backyard. Already, I can make one full day loop that is mostly off pavement and the majority of the pavement sections are tight and twisty.

I'm envious of your power line.

I'd have a bike set up that could negotiate the water crossings. ;)

just sayin'

as I make more videos, you'll see why I don't really care about rushing to get a second set of rims and tires yet.
So many options that are easily navigable with what I have already.
The next video up is a road that's maybe 4 miles from here and as you watch that notice all the side trails off of even just that one.
and that's right here. As you head further north there are large areas where there are more dirt roads than paved. Some of these roads barely qualify as being called roads but they are indeed public roads.

besides, until it warms up again, I have no interest whatsoever in getting wet.

I am happy as hell though, that here we are at the end of December and it's still nice enough to go out for a ride without bundling up like an eskimo

Have to see if this still works....

Bacon bacon bacon......
Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

Recovering from a nasty stomach bug, making me up throwing up from abot 3-6AM.  Also Preparing for C and my trip to Tampa!

C got me a Samsung Galaxy, so I'm learning how to use 8t I downloading some music to it.
