For me this year anyway.It was a shakedown run for both of us.The bike did well,I did less well. It was good to blow the cobwebs off anyway.
-
Looks like fast trails. The bike looks good!
-
Take you long to get rid of the cobwebs.?
Off the bike that is.

aboot time ford.

Bikes looks good, needs some graphics though.

Thanks. In my old age though,I've turned minimalist.I always ran a full graphics kit,protection and everything else.These days I like it clean though I do have at least a mx style skid plate.I know I should run at least a pipe guard too but don't want the weight-it hangs on a nail in the basement-maybe that helps a bit.
I stopped one time and had a spider hanging off my visor.Since then I've been known as the guy that rides so slow spiders spin webs on me.
It looks like it would be a fast trail but just over that rise(an excellent woods jump btw) is a ton of sideways roots.Fortunately,it swings to the right immediately after that and there is a barbed wire "catch fence" on the left side.I found out the hard way the first time I ran that trail.These days I take it easy on that section.
I agree,it is about time.I'd like to run a couple HS this fall.This ride proved to me I have a ways to go to get back to form.

Where's the footage?
-
Did you make the jump to second gear?
-
I did get second-but I had to go to a 60t rear to pull it off.
Sorry,no footage,I've yet to manage the technique of riding while taking pics of myself at the same time.

The pic with the bike leaning on the tree made me laugh... Last time out, my buddy took his 7 year old son on his CRF50. The ride went really well, except for when the little guy would fall.. Dad's bike doesn't have a side stand, mine does. So I spent the ride picking junior up refireing the CRF and sending him on the down the trail. As we were loading the bikes commenting on what a good day it was, my buddy said as soon as I'm done cleaning the bikes, I'm ordering a side stand. I felt helpless at times when there was no place to lean my bike. You told me and I didn't listen... I'll correct that tonight
Its good to hear / see you are back where you belong... getting the YZ dirty.

Ford -- I am sure I can give you a run for your money as the slowest guy on the trail!
Beautiful place you have to "work the cobwebs out" up there! Nice pics.

Lol,I may give you a slow run for your money .The trail is good there,farther along I sunk it in the goo but was too busy getting out to snap a pic.
