Nice!!!! Pic Rack Question I have is,,,, couldn't he see that rock?

tried to give you roost Rack, but some must have it blocked knowing you would gain so much roost for that pic..I wander who would do such a thang?

 

[James]

That's a great pic!

ohh that looks like a good one

You 2 just wait until you see the video.

Looks like he was just trying to get out of the wind for a little nap in the shade.

Yeah no kidding I sure could have used a nap right there.

No I saw it alright, it was my first ride in the dez and I was still trying to do away with my moto habits. I'd never known that a rear brake exists on these bikes.

How the hell can you NOT miss that freeeeakin boulder? Could be the bike bucked him off for wearing green!!!

I don't think James is used to using brakes...he usually lets the engine do all the braking.

That and I usually only use the front brake, better stopping power, however not in the sand/desert. Actually it does stop you pretty quick, when you hit the ground.


I got this one on video, but not the next one, which was even funnier. Short version, I was climbing a hill and then decided to get pretty intimate with a boulder. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed that I wasn't recording. If I remember right yama_dawgg got some aftermath photos though.

James, too bad I didn't get a chance to meet you, but I am glad you got out here to do some desert riding. Hopefully next time the weather is a little better.
As for the dirt nap photo, how can you not miss a four foot tall boulder? Even I could miss something like that.
I am sure that photo will be posted many times in the future.
That's why I hide the cameras of people I ride with, no photographic evidence of my many goof ups.

Here James is after he got up form the picture pose. He was up and on his feet by the time I got there for that last photo. He was kind enough to lay down for me to snap a photo of his "dirt nap".

Drum roll please.............................................................



Welcome to the desert James

Captain Pumpknis CRF 230 took a beating from James this trip. That bike has NEVER been on the ground this much.

My son has a few pics from his camera of this crash that he will post later.

Good thing I didn't see this picture before I met you Cpt., I probably would've started running.

Oh has the wifey made up for forgetting your BDay yet? Isn't that just an awesome "card" to pull out whenever you need/want something?

It's raining where I live. We should be out of here around 8:30.

1st stop - ICE
2nd stop - get pins removed from gmans arm and a new cast
3rd stop - FAT to pick up "short stack" as cda likes to call him

then we are south bound and down...................................

Stop 1 check
Stop2 inbound

Step 2.5 - Catch y_dawgg as he passes out.
