Sander, you do know they sell lowering links, right?

 

[sanderjavant]

Ha, now I get to see how Beta stands behind their product.

Fortunately I get to borrow an XR400 tomorrow courtesy of CZ47racer.

My bet is that will somehow come under 'consumables'.
I hope I'm wrong, but that's the way it is in the KTM/Husqvarna world.

BTW, I've been enjoying you guy's ride reports. Gonna be over there in 2 weeks.

Some sites over the last week. Wish I made more MC time however.

Wow, those are some great pics, especially that last one, lol. Got anything hidden behind that little screen, or is it just for the wind?

Invisible Jim.

I've seen Pigeon Toed but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,WOW! Invisible and a very unusual arrangement of those legs. Very unique guy this Jim is.

What a great day to be alive in the mountains. Sunshine early, then clouds, then heavy rain and hail. Today had it all. Most of these photos were taken at Sacramento Lookout.

Thank you, Sander, for organizing such a fun week.

The 2022 edition, the 14th Annual Smokey Bear Dual Sport Motorcycle Ride is a wrap!

Great week, really fun and highly skilled group of riders!

The technical riding was at all-time high!

Fun as always to have returning riders, and rookies added to the ride. The "Kids are Alright", some talented young blood returned this year as well with sharpened skills.
Nice to also have some "Two Wheeled Arizonians" join the ride this year.

We had a record number of non-riding spouses / partners attend this year! Fantastic!!!

The fire chief will let me know next week how much money we raised for the Fire Department & EMS. The fire chief is a rider and is looking for help to get the Mile High Enduro restarted.

I'll post some pictures when I get home and produce daily compliation videos.

If you have any pictures or videos you would like to include in the daily compliation videos please send them to me by private message.
