Default Protect those Thumbs boys...

I'd have been more comfortable up front I think. The middle kinda sucked as when we started out after a break, someone always seemed to have to hurry up to be in front of me, and then dick off. I rode last for a while, and that way I could back off and then make it back up.
I had the same observation. There was one guy in front of me that rode well, but another insisted on getting in front of us and doggin it. Most people had the courtesy to recognize if they were running slower to drop back in the pack... It was a big group though.

I hope Cliff (big ape on my SP) wasn't too bad with his Kawasucki comments etc. He's pretty belligerant, but once you get to know him, he is a blast provided you can brush off his attitude. He's particularly funny when he gets off camber in a mud hole and won't let off until he rolls it!
Nah, he didn't bother me. Brand favoritism is common and a haranguing over each others machines is typical. I don't get bent about that kind of thing. If I built the machine then I might be offended.

Did you really get stuck trying to follow JJ's SP335?
No, I went off to the left (in the woods) and got bottomed out in some deep ruts in there. JJ must have gone through the big hole and drove back into the path I got stuck on. He got stuck, I helped pull him out by hand then he winched me off my boards a few feet and then I rode the rest out.

Hope someone got a pic with the SP wheels out of the water in the hole!
I saw someone snapping pics then; so I think so.

That Vamp combo is KILLER for mud with bite/bottom!!!
Yes they are.


I got stuck big time on that huge boulder where Chris got stuck first. That rock was huge.

You guys were a riot in those holes; fun to watch. I can see you guys have had some serious playtime in that type of arena.

Well, Cliff said JJ went right through that back woods track before you, but I wasn't there. to see it.

When we ride, we usually look for nasty holes and play around, wallow them out and see if we can get stuck. If the hole is wide enough, we race to see who gets roosted on OR do like Ostie did when he crashed that hole and laid the 300 Honda full.

Had it been a convenient rest area, I'd have gladly let you take a turn on the SP through the hole. Fact is, I'd have liked to have tried the Prairie on this ride in a real world situation as I honestly think the Rincon and Prairie are more evenly matched than people give the Rincon credit for...

Overall a GREAT bunch to ride with. ALWAYS someone ready to jump in and push someone out or hook up the cable! A very selfless bunch.

My email addy is on my web site if you'd like to drop a me a line.

Could be true, I don't know for sure. I thought I saw him run across the big hole as I was rocking mine on the hump. Hell, he probably ran back and forth across that big hole a few times; I maybe saw him on one of his passes....lol.

Agreed.

I'll see you guys on the trail; the sooner the better.

Take care,
