I say the more the merrier and if we tag along a few non-Husaberg bikes, then that's only a good thing.

If it's a "Force Ride" or not, do you really care about the name of the ride when you're riding?

I agree with you! The guys I ride with ride just about everything currently made plus antique 70s and 80s. A ride with your friends is just that! It doesn't matter what each guy rides.

Would sure like to attend. Yuma isn't too far away. I'm sure my riding buddy will come along on his VOR.

i hope all that are planning/trying to attend are able.
it will most surely be a great time.
lots of laughs and riding. az is supposed to be great riding. you guys in the eastern part can get your bikes into 5th or even 6th gear!
json...can you come?
i'm sure you would get some free airfare and lodging since you have
already gotten a A FREE HUSABERG MOTORCYCLE
fryguy and friends...i would be great to see you, really enjoyed the time.
fryguy...you arent a little reluctant because you will be off your home turf type riding? [tuts about to talk smack to isde medal holder...please fasten your seat belts] i sort of remember losing [aka smoking, leaving in the dust, blowing away] you on the desert like trail at moab after we started out after you so kindly waited for me and my wrist to unfeeze.
it isnt because you felt the raw, brutal power of my 650 when it took it for a ride was it?
oh sure, its 4,000 miles away but if json was there with some more vw stories wouldnt it be worth it?
le frog...your the beer donkey this time.
so any las vegas riders want to share a ride there?
:bounce3:



tuts :devil:
 
I don't need to go to a steenking ride!

Why the hell would I want to go? I already got my FREE BIKE.

Tuts if it was legal to ship beer across state lines I'd have enough of it delivered to your house to fill your pool if you have one. :roll:
 
It isn't illegal to ship beer over state lines. I live in Mesa anyways, you can drive it over anytime you want!!!

Regards,
 
I thought you lived in Chandler? Heck, same suburb!

Let's ride one day! We need to plan the Sycamore Creek ride. I think we could have the "sitters" do the big loop while the experts take care of the single tracks.
 
Sounds like a hoot! I'm up for another ride with the mates. I have been riding with my fience just about every week for the last two months and she has been doing a great job learning. I really enjoy taking her out with me. Then I broke my kick start shaft two weeks back and am getting the parts to fix next week. Just put my order in with Motoxotica yesterday. When I get her all back together maybe we can squeez a ride in at sycamore or something. My lady is getting anxious to get back out on the dirt and do some more riding so we'll have to see how things go.

Regards,
 
Ok, I'm almost a definite on going but I don't want to commit so soon only to have to back out if something comes up. I am mentally trying to prepare for the trip and with all "mental" jokes aside I am wondering about a few things.

Will any special tags be needed for the bikes?

Is there any recommended changes needed on the bikes for the area? Gearing, tires/tubes, anything like that?

Also, if anyone on the east side wants to car pool let me know. I will be up for some serious road travel and will be able to go a ways out of the way to pick anyone up. Also if I get something like that going now it will make it easier to set my mind in stone on going.
 
If my work travelling schedule will alow, I will look next week, then I will come over from So Cal to join you. I was not able to find time last year so I really want try iot this time.

Lubbz,
Bike set up.
Intermediate tires seem to work best. I would not recommend soft compounds. Heavy duty tubes with slime are a must.
Put as much armor on your bike as possible. A skid plate with some wrap around protection and a GOOD set of handguards are the minimum.
I would consider bringing 13 and 14 tooth front sprockets.
Permits...To be completely legit to ride you should have a "State Trust Land Permit" they are available by mail. They run like $15 for an individual and $20 for a family. They are good for a year. I have never seen the permits enforced and I would say less than 25% of the people have them out here, still...they cant hurt to have.
Bring whatever state ID you have for the bike, proof of ownership etc..

More to follow as I think about it.

Good luck Hakan.
 
Berger, thanks. Like you said I'm sure there is more info to come but you took care of all the things I was looking for.
 
If you fast young guns with lots of experience do not mind having an old fat guy follow you at slower speed, I am probably in. I need a vacation and I used to live in Yuma, AZ. :D But I also have to work.

....but will you respect me in the morning? :?:

syl
 
syl,
There are more than a few of us that fit that desciption including myself.
 
Sueyou, just remember that there is no scared subject at the fire ring and I can think of at least 10 lawyer jokes off the top of my head ...... like what do you call a bus load of lawyers going off a cliff??????????????????? :twisted:
But seriously all the guys I have met in person are the best!

Memo to self:
GO BUY THE DEMO 5 FIDDY AT NMS THIS WEEK
 
Bobzilla

json is the only one that you have to wonder about following a night at the "ring", don't want to start anything, but he is sneaky

all the while in Moab you gouged me for my minimalist protection. So Taffy sends me this cool aluminum jobby that protects the water pump, I thnk your 470 has one. And I'm just a wrecking ball with it and no worries. Untill this sunday.

I take out my new 06 550, sans BOSS skidplate with w/p protector, sans Taffy's gift and what do I do. I ride 20 mins and then I have a fountain of glycol. Rat $)&@, so I shorten up the hose and add crick water and off I go. An hr and a half later another spear pinches the hose against the cases and I have another fountai, this time I have to ride to the truck with no juice.

So I'm sure you've jinxed me and I've learned my lesson. I will never leave home without protection!!!

And Tuts, yes you are the king of the monster, I am not worthy and your petty heckling only pi$$es me off, so beware if you come north next year.

I am too weak to face you and your 650, my weak demeanor and charactor cannot withstand knowing you will be faster.

In all honesty I wouldn't really love the roost either, but it would be cool to hang out for a few rollin rocks and listen to how you kicked my keister in the dez.

You guys all rule and I hope you have a hoot
