Went to Carnegie today and met up with MWQ and his son[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] When I left the house, it looked like we received a pretty good dosing of rain last night. However, when I got to I-5, the sun was out[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] so, the riding couldn't be that bad[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] WRONG[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Was it muddy and slippery. Tried to go up one hill, I've come to call the "widowmaker"[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] ended up walking the quad down it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] 4 motorcycles tried to make it up to, they ended up walking their bikes down too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] MWQ and his son made it up though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] If you stayed on the trails that the sun was shining on, the trail had tacked up a bit, so it wasn't as slippery. MWQ's son did do an endover[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] his bike acted up and after a valiant try[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] to get it started, I was pulling him back to the truck. Unfortunately, he hit a rut and went over the bars[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Fortunately he was OK[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] At least he was when we left. He did bend the mount for his speedometer[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I am sure MWQ can take care of that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I on the other hand, had a motorcyclist cut me off[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]and in his NEED to be in front of me, roosted me with gobs of mud[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I was hit in the left eye and now, have a BLACK EYE[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]I was unable to chase him down due to the gas can I was carrying, to try and help MWQ's son get going again.

 

me and my son are going to carnegie on sunday sounds like its plenty muddy and its raining slightly well i hope we dont forget our tear offs he'll have fun the boy loves the mud i'v never seen carnegie in the winter so i'm game if any bodys going on sunday look for a white 660 and a blue 50 thats me and my boy allright later happy riding

 

Tear offs would be good[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Wish I had them today. Creek is running[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Kids love running the creek bed. I don't know how old your boy is, but if he's running a 50cc bike and it's wet out, I'd stay off the trails. Even the green circle ones were treacherous today[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] If the sun is on them for a couple of hours[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] then, they might turn into sticky loam[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and traction would be much better. It's just no fun watching your back end try to beat the front end down the hill[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Well it is[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] If it's not you it's happening to[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

cool we went once befor and he loved the large flat track have way in the park i hope thats up and running thats his favorite as far as trails and hills probly wont get there when i take my son out i mainly ride with him or take pictures of him riding its all about him when we go riding i usally go out by my self once or twice a month and then well i do every thing to get into truoble . thanks for the update .

 

The tracks have a lot of standing water on them. The track your referring to, had 2 big watering holes on it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I didn't check out the kids tracks at the east end of the park. However, last week when my 9 year rode the mx track, it had 2 decent size puddles that she was riding around. So, I can only think they still had significant water on them.

 

Hey guys , just got back from pismo nice over there today. I guess that getting stuck over in the dunes sure put the scares to alot of people. The place had some people but not to many, just right. Everyone was being all secretive with there bikes. A whole bunch of little groups all seperated dragging then tweeking. When you pull up they would not give you the time of day. I guess 4sw has everyone on edge. That mighty beast of a river lost some of its punch. At high tide when we passed it was only about a foot deep. anyway maybe i will see some of you anext saturday.

 

Have a friend who is at Pismo this weekend also. I would think anyone who has been paying attention to the recent storm and the creek, would know, they need to be cautious about crossing it.

I don't get to involved in the "hush, hush" of what my bike can do. However, if I was a "competitive" rider, I might not want anyone to see what I'm doing to my bike. Especially if there is $$$ or a "pink slip" involved[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

This time i used the voice of inteligence, my wife. A liitle suggestion of why dont you get out of the truck and inspect the situation before jumping in over your head again. took me a nice look and it was only a foot or so. After last time i leave that macho stuff at home.

 

well its 7:31 and me and my son just got back from carnegie we rode all day and yes the flat track was nothing but water and slop we did not even hit it we just ran the river back and forth he hade a great time until he hit a puddle or a small pond how ever you want to look at it funny thing was he sucked in some water through his air filter he says to me i'm done dad bring me back to the truck any ways i gota give yamaha some credit after cleaning the air filter and drianing the carb it started right up and ran fine though he siad sorry dad i'm cooked done tired take me home any ways i went out by my slef for while and ripped it up loads of fun real busy today nice line backing out the main entrance but all in all it was a great day of riding
