Dellanini, Sorry we missed you to[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] This was my first time at Miami and I had a blast[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Where we were at, it had a little bit of everything[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Tight track, forest roads, light, moderate to TECHNICAL trails in my book[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Gorgeous views[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Like you said, can't compare big red apples and rotten old oranges. Hollister and Miami are about the same distance from my house. I would pick Miami over Hollister anyday[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] B&R and Powerstroke were knowledgeable and great[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] at showing us the trails and area[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I would suggest hooking up with them and giving it another try. rescue

 

BUDXXX, Thanks for your assessment on Hungry Valley. That is one place, we will be checking out in the next couple of months[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I was down there and saw some of the damge in the area, after the last storm blew through. Great to hear it's all good now[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Glad you all enjoyed miami! I had a blast. Even if i was batteryless.
Right now parts of miami are covered in snow! Yup I was up there this morning.

Got some pics too. But knowing me ill never gettem posted. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

Snow great[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Yea, I'm not holding my breathe on you[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] At least in the "one" picture you have, your not wearing a helmet[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] but, standing in the shade of a door way[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]LOL

 

Had a great time at Miami this weekend. Thanks, B&R, for organizing the outing. Great to meet some good people and great riding. I took my ladyfriend who had a good time riding the Scrambler 500 4X4 while I made do with my V-Force on Saturday...

Stormin' Norman and I took our Scrambler 500s out for a bit of exercise on Sunday, after most people left. what a ride!!! Those trails are incredibly difficult due to all the rain this winter. Ruts uphill, ruts downhill, ruts on flat ground, exposed roots & rocks, mud holes, short straights with waterbar jumps, the whole nine yards!! I managed to roll my bike while zig-zagging through trees on a really difficult off-camber motorcycle (not quad) trail. Couple of trees stopped me and the quad about 20 feet down hill. Suffered two flat rear tires in the spill, one was off the bead. Fortunately, Stormin' had some CO2 that actually reseated the bead, but he didn't have enough for both tires. Not a problem; my All-Tracs have a stiff sidewall & we made it back to camp without further incident.

Let's do it again!!

 

WOW[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Hope your ok? That's some story about your last ride.

It was nice meeting you and your lady friend[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Get that thing fixed and let's hit the next one running[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Heading up to Cali City off the 395 tomorrow. Taking the RV and staying over, should be cool! I gotta get my riding "fix" in.

 

I am planning a trip to Johnson Valley this sunday, just a day ride......

 

Bump----

 

Planning on going up to miami trails for the day 4-23. Most likely stage out of kamook(I think that was the name of the closer spot?) Youngest son is going, not sure about oldest yet. He really liked it and didnt get to ride as much coming up friday nite. Youngest son and i rode around with BRW on friday, sure cant wait until I know that place as well as he does. Thanks again for the tour BRW. Ive been way too tired(havnt sprung forward yet. brain still thinks ive been getting up at 1:30 am) to get a picture of the radiator and ship it to utah. Must do that today.
