Enjoyed the ride and comradeie
269 miles, I wish I could do half of that. KLR's must have a seat like a throne.
I rode 65 miles today and though I would have to stand all the way home.
KTM has taught me a new word: Coccydynia
Luckett - thanks for hanging back for me on the way up. Hope you had a good ride.
luckett, saw you at Cache Creek hanging out with revnort (BMW thanks you for representing) and Banjoboy as I departed.
The stock KLR seat is like riding on a 2x4 - I have a sweet Corbin that I had made at the Corbin factory while I waited. I can pull a ten hour day and the only thing that hurts is my Knees and my upper back.
Wrap "a gopro vid of the ride. p.s. how do you embed these?

Drew,
Thanks again for organizing the trip - it was a great day! Terrific people, fun route, awesome weather. Several of us took Rayhouse Road in both directions, and when Kyle (Orange KTM, also from SF) and I got to the top of the hill on the return trip we took a detour down to Buck Island (about 10 miles round trip). It's not really an island, but Cache creek sort of wraps around the site. Really pretty spot and you can play in the creek there, with or without your motorcycle. I think Kyle took some video and maybe he'll post it. I've attached a couple of photos, but they're pretty crappy because I didn't have the correct camera settings. Hope to meet up again soon!

Never mind the photos. I guess I don't have posting privileges

My near crash in the dirt and over a cliff:
\
in the dirt (much like the road) you want to be slowed down for the turn well before the turn and be on the gas to help the back end steer around.
For all you heathens that were pushing to schedule this ride on Easter Sunday: That's Iceman9R on a Cagiva! :shocker OMG a Cagiva Elefant! Now why can't the Multistradas do that? I'm taking you Sac boys up on that offer to ride the snow up in the Sierras!Thanks for the ride Drew!
Get y'er ass cheek hanging off the outside... dab that rear brake...get on the gas before the turn, back her in.. and square it off! :wow Energizer26 is quite proficient in the dirt... probably just forgot he was off pavement while manhandling his VStrom... so just for the camera, it looked like he decided to spend all $10 by 'hanging off'/dragging elbow for a change, and going wide for a 'decreasing radius, off camber turn'. :rofl Besides it was Passover, and he wanted to check out Heaven in case the Rapture happened before Easter.
