  1. Cool gunny !! (as usual ) :laugh: I`m startin to set my R up for some Dune riding so trail riding will have to wait !!:laugh: Gonna hit up Lil Sahara in Utah !! Killpecker Dunes in Wy and Walden here in Colo !!

    THANKS Quad Nut Guy !! :notworthy:

    Sounds like you have a great trip planned ... now remember, don't get any sand in your undies .... because it causes chaffing !! :smilielol5c::smilielol5c::smilielol5c:

  2. Hey, I can't help it, OK ... I like to ride and ride as often as I can. I also like to share my rides with others ... so enjoy !!

    Went for a ride yesterday, IT WAS GREAT !! I saw elk, deer, antelope, a badger, some hawks & lots of pot gut squirrels.

    There were lots of down trees but I stilled managed to do 62 miles ... and those Elka Shocks are awesome !!

    Here's a short vid of the days ride ... make sure ya watch it in 1080p ...

  3. Went winter rid'in last Saturday, the 18th. It rained like a SOB all nite & it was still rain'in to beat the band when I left the house at 0500 for the ride (Yeah, I like to leave early). :coffee:

    It was 31 degs F when I unloaded the bike, and Yup, it was snow'in ... it was just try'in at first but later on, it was do'in pretty good. :woot:

    I tried to get off on the snow a couple times, but it was soft & deep & I didn't feel like digg'in or winch'in ... so I turned around to ride at a lower elevation (7000 ft instead of the 9000 ft where I was) ... and the bike was clean up to that point .... sigh .... and I was also dry !! :cool:

    Yes, my expensive rain suit bibs leaked !! I'll bet I don't have a dozen rides with these & they leak. I think it must be from the rubbing of the material (Gore-Tex) on the seat while riding !!?? :wiggle:

    So I stuff a sweat shirt in my bibs (probably looked like I was carry'in a load, if ya know what I mean !! :smilielol5c: ) ... and I rode another 15 miles. At that point I stopped at a Forest Service shack that had an overhang porch, had some lunch, & put my other rain pants on underneath the bibs ... and rode another 30 miles. But I'm pissed !! :aargh:

    Here's some photo's .... :seeyac:

  4. Out do'in some Pre-Mother's Day Rid'in !! WOO HOO !! Went out to 5 Mile Pass and headed to the small mining town of Eureka to refuel (not that I needed it) & to get a burger. Saw a few Jack Rabbits & no people (except by the truck) until I got to Eureka.

    When I got to Eureka, there was a large group of photographers taking a lot of different photo's of women. Not sure if it was to promote Eureka, or for some fashion magazine ??

    Remember, watch it at 1080p.

  6. Another awesome video Gunny dude.:bow: Looked a little cold to be throwing all that water on yourself. I would be looking for something to warm me up.:flamesmiley: I tried going through some water in my last video and it didn't work out so well.:brickwall: I love the way you go from the snow to the mud..looks like a lot of fun.:hurrayc:

    Why, Thank You Wylde Guy ... THANK YOU VERY MUCH !! :notworthy:

    Well, I did have my Gore-Tex rain suit on, so no worries about gett'in wet or to cold ... besides, I'm kind of a big kid at heart & it's pretty difficult not splash'in around in every puddle of water I see ... SAVVY !!?? :wink:

    And yeah, if the water is too deep, the "Brickwall" affect can send a guy over the handlebars ... :shocked:

    Again, Glad you enjoyed the video & THANKS for watch'in too !! :cheers2c:

    ...

  7. :bow2:Sweet Gunny !! Its meltin fast up top here to ! Seens like we`re get a good storm every Mon or Tues for the last month !!:confused:

    Why THANK YOU Quad Nutty Guy !! :notworthy:

    Ours is melting too, but we still have about 6 ft on top so it'll be a while until we get up there to ride ... however, I do plan on going as high as I can next time I go. It was so cold with the wind & I hadn't planned on that so I didn't have my balaclava to wear under my helmet & the cold air scream'in thru my motocross helmet just flat froze my bald skull !! :coneheadc: ... :smilielol5c:

    We've been gett'in storms up high same as you ... and more next week !!

    Glad you enjoyed the vid & THANKS for watch'in Big Guy !! :seeyac:

    ...

  8. Decided to head up to the mountains and see if the snow is melting much ... it was 21 degs F when I got to the staging area, the wind was howl'in & it was try'in to snow :eek:

    Up higher it was snow'in. So I rode for a ways and then turned around and went to some lower elevations and enjoyed some dirt, snow & mud rid'in. :cheer:

    What a GREAT FREAK'IN DAY !! :woot:

    Hope you enjoy the video & make sure you watch it in 1080P ... :bow:

  9. Hey, how fast will it go ?? What kinda fuel mileage do you get ?? Do you have a fuel programmer on it yet ?? :chatterboxn:

    Hey ... I'm just ask'in all the stupid questions everyone asks when someone gets a new bike ... so why not ask them about your Golf Cart ?? :unsure:

    Man, that thing is shiny !! Ever had it out of the garage ?? :wideeyed:

    WHAT ?? :cool:

    ...

  10. Interesting...sounds like our firewall maybe. To help me more, please verify that you are still surfing without issues. I may ask you to do this again as we see what settings are causing this for you.

    So far, everything is working great. I was even able to upload a couple video's just now with no hangups or problems.

    Can't seem to get my photo's to change or update on my garage page, but that's no biggie right now. (& that is probably something I'm doing !!)

    So all is good. :biggrin:

    ...

  11. Didn't do the Blacklist Check, HOWEVER, this morning, I'm able to navigate the forum like old times.

    Made some changes to my profile page, added a couple photo's to my photo page, all with no issues or hangups !!

    Still checking other items, but everything seems to be working great. :unsure:

    ...

  12. Not sure this is gonna post cause I've been hav'in posting issues ... but here goes ...

    Took a ride out to the west desert and rode part of the Old Pony Express Route. Rode out to Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge which was about 67 miles from where I parked the truck. So I did a little over 134 miles, most mileage I’ve EVER done in one day ... so I guess I can't really get on anyone anymore for do'in that kinda mileage in one day ...

    However, the road is a good graded dirt road & I was able to ride between 35 and 45 mph all day. I could have gone faster, but I had a shimmy in the front end at anything above 45 mph. And because I was hav’in to much fun to balance out the air pressure in my front tires, I just stayed under 45 … and never thought about it when I did pit stops.

    I also wanted a fairly flat smooth road because I wanted to set my Speedohealer for my 27.5 inch Pit Bull Growlers. (Corrects speed and mileage for track use and for running larger than stock tires)

    Saw some antelope, some deer and more freak’in people than I could deal with. BTW, when I drove thru the Fish Springs area by the water, the freak’in bugs where bad … got all over my glasses, under my glasses & into my eyes, good thing I ride with my mouth shut !! … and why anyone would want to live out there is beyond me.

    Saw lots of cool country and lots of other side roads, so I need to go out there & do some exploring … before it gets to warm !!

    But it was a great day. Hope you enjoy the “Fast Paced” vid and make sure you watch it at 1080p.

  13. Well, it's still happening. After I made the above post, I was able to go the forum page, but when I clicked on the Picture and Video Forum, it just sat there. I had to close the web page, waited for my computer to go to sleep, and then was able to come back to this page ... now to see if I'll be able to post this info ...

    ...

  14. WOW, it takes me forever to get the forum to work. I've been try'in to respond to your comments for a few days now .... and THANKS Quadnut.

    I've been out twice now since I installed these latest mods & all I can say is ... I'm a very pleased Guy !!

    Love the Elka's ... glad you like'em too ...... Ya Bast%$# !! WOO HOO !!

    ...

  15. OK, I'm gonna try another post ... and here's the answers to your questions ...

    I'm using both IE9 & FireFox, I've cleared my cookies several times. And if this works, here's the tracer results. I've done this four times, & every time, it starts timing out about the 12th ping ... and at the 30th one, it closes.
