Rules are sparkys, but I've never been checked. Still should bring them with. andddddd thats about it. Go slow in the campground and dont run the stop signs.
Most likey I'll be taking a enclosed trailer so all I can hold is 3. So I'll have my buddy with the YFZR and my buddy from des moines on his YFZ. Sorry, man. I'll see what I can do. My big flat bed will not be in use. So if anyone wants to use that its open.
:(

Both trips is the only solution to this problem :thumbs:
I like how you think!
Motel is about a mile away for those of us with a growing VaJayJay :thumbs:
Make up your damn minds, I'm a tenting as long as there is showers. Could give 2 shits if it were snowing, Im down. If you guys want to wait 2 weeks that's cool too. I just the normal crew to be able to make it. ......and a kevstach, I like the way you think. :thumbs:

That was a quick solution... :rofl:
Soooooooo Whats the plan????? Do we need to move 2 weeks up or 2 weeks back!!!!?????
Average High is mid 50's.
Average low is mid 30's.
As long as its above freezing I'm downski!
I be in for either time. But the earlier the better because it would still leave me time for an April LS trip!!
Not sure guys, I have no truck right now, so I need somebody to pick me up to pull this off at the moment. Once I get my transmission in, I will know :thumbs:
Need a day off first. Been awhile! Will be pulling it out next weekend. Then it depends on the shop who is rebuilding it.
Need to ride bad!!!!
Lets move this back two weeks. That way Sir Funyun can pick up Miss Peaaaaler :thumbs:

:rofl:
anybody wanna do LS instead. April 29-may 2nd? Just asking. Have some friends going down then. Same group I rode with last year. Good peeps. Thinking really hard about it.
Looking tough for any more than small day trips right now, just found out tonight, wife's van needs tires. :rolleyes: :mad:
Truck still needs a transmission rebuild. All the locals here are giving me the run-around. Work not granting me vacation,... gets f**king stupid stressful just to try and go ride. :(
GUnnyz, your vote doesn't count cuz you would go anyways :lol:
just a thought.......since it is still in the cold season. and: nebraska sucks :lol:

We need a date as well... is the 27th still good for everyone? We may have to get there the 26th or something, I am trying to work out some stuff since my girls will be coming back from spring break by the 27th or 28th. Might have to pick them up in Albuquerque.
I NEED TO RIDE GAWD DAMMIT!!!!! :hair:
Plus I need to watch some of this ---> :raptorrally:
:rofl:
Well this weekend I have Murray, next weekend I might be in Mississippi or Little Sahara, the weekend after that I will be at LS for sure (19th-20), I have an opening for the 27th for Halsey and the 2nd of April I will be in Texas at Kermit. April 9th would work for Halsey maybe.
dunno guys. No way to get there....yet. And no time off in the near future. No riding for awhile.
but +1 lady4fiddy.
Im still kinda planning on this....anybody else?
well just found out that I wont be getting my head back for another month :( So this is kinda out for me
Alright...I'm locking it down in hopes that some day I may be able to ride Halsey.... :(
