Hey Mark and Chad,

That's for the positive words guys. Definately want to hook up again with you guys. Had fun and I learned some from you guys, and for me that's what it's all about. Having a good time, making friends and learning about the sport.

Hey Bill..... I am glad to hear your gettin' out today man. Let me know where it was and how it was.

My Dale is the cannibal. I do want to talk to you more about yours though. I think I want to remap to the 11600 rev limit. I find that I am hitting the 10600 really quick and she wants more.
Also yesterday in the sand I noticed, (and Chad pointed it out) that when I shift to 5th gear it seems to bog down. Like there's no hit or punch to that gear? I am hoping that some paddles will help with that. PUlls strong in 2,3,4th. but flat in 5th. I have to go try it at high speed on a dirt run now to see if there is a difference than sand. I have her broken in now so I can, before when running on the trails, I had to keep speed down. Not any more

DirtHawg, It would be fun to ride with some other Cdale's. Maybe we could meet at Coos Bay sometime. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Steve,Went to Sawtell Rd out of Molalla or however you spell it. Chad told me about the place and it was alot of fun. Up high was a little snow and I just about ended up down a 200' drop. That thing just doesn't handle in the snow at all. Guess I need a pair of ski's for that.

Call anytime you have my number.

Are you talking up hills that it doesn't pull 5th or on the straight. Putting around and nailing it or are you whinding it out and then 5th or what??? Man mine pulls hard in all gears. Hard to keep front down in any gear including 5th. Actually 5th is the only safe gear if wheelies aren't your bag. And they are not. Talk to me man!!! I have questions and you know inquiring minds just have to know!!

Bill
MODS.....it don't need no stinkin'mods!!!

Bill,
Never heard of Sawtell Rd, but will have to check it out. Whooaa now, on the 200' drop off. Glad you kept er up on the high side of that. I figured there might be some snow in areas around Estacada I mentioned too. Yep, I hit a small patch of the fluffy stuff the last time I was up that way, and the CDale did not do as well as my Yamaha Mtn Max machine in that stuff.

The 5th gear thing.. I was flat landing in the dunes, winding every gear to the rev limiter then shifting. I pull front on 1,2,3, (by 4th I am hunkered down on them bars for dear life trying not to let it lift) then 5 hole and she has no poop left. I will have to try it on the dirt this week to see. I think probably just a sand thing. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

Yeah I got your number at home someplace in mails and I will give ya a call probably Monday. I'll PM you also. Would like to try for Tues or Weds get together.
