[QUOTE="Pokie, post: 972049, member: 20108"] [b]Hey AssistSuper[/b].... looking forward to meeting you next year, and online in the interim; glad you enjoyed the day-and-a-half.... school is both important and expensive. In fact I was looking at the textbooks I use to teach two classes just to make sure I know what to test my students on when I get back.... this time it was "you study, I test", we'll see if they did... [b]Blase' DRNers:[/b] here was a friend of Cowboy Kenny's practicing all kinds of tricks on the ramps.... but very few onlookers... everbody busy riding the trails and tracks.... it was a super beautiful day... 70s, lightly overcast... tonight bright moonlit evening... Tony's kitchen busy serving up brats and them there funnel cakes.... popular gathering place that "Camp Tejas"... some twenty guys took a [b]side trip to the "500" wide track[/b] woods, about 4 miles away.... on the backroads on street-illegal dirtbikes.... to think we had two California Highway cops in our midst.... no local sherifs, no tickets, but lots of fun on a dry but undusty day... although i heard stories about mudslides in them "500" woods.... sadly a couple of guys came back with sore or broken toes ([b]damn those tree stumps[/b]... a reminder why I don't venture into the deep bad woods...); one of them was/is the Okiewan himself.... momma had to make it all feel better... but will he ride again this week? vicodine anyone? So Okie was in no position to stand and talk to the troops, [b]Thump[/b] answered the call and pontificated before an eager crowd of rugged DRNers... about all the don'ts of the Cooperland compound... [b]Nikki D[/b] (newly married) threw a Bingo party with a bunch of KTM prizes.... threecheersforNikki... did I see one of them SoCal "Chips" fellows playing Bingo? say it ain't so! [b]Wardy[/b] rolled in early pm with a bunch of bikes;Service Honda AF500, of course will be raced on Saturday before he has to race on back to Illinois to capture the point lead from some localyokal... go Wardy! Why so many bikes? it's now a family affair: wife Patty is racing, both sons are immersing themselves into the proposition of outdoing daddy-wardy some day soon... Compassionate Wardy immediately tenders his luxury Honda Rubicon to the great Okiewan, so that the boss is not too much inconvenienced by all that toe thumping pain! Two [b]KTM trucks[/b] pull in and display a boatload of shiny new orange colored toys..... that drew the 'flies'.... they will be back in the morning for more demo action... woopie yall! About that big track.... them 'walls' look no smaller today than they did yesterday and the day before.... but the traction is absolutely delightful, so they tell me... and by the way, the big step-up is under "reconstruction", so Kris reworked the long uphill rythm into a step-up/rythm combo.... looks equally intimidating for some of us humbler performers... [b]no major crashes[/b]! knock/knock/wood... 'cept Kris did a major face plant at the end of that combo; witnesses say the bike stalled midair.... Kris separated from his bike by a mile (or so); mortals would have run to momma, but Kris dusted himself off, shook off bad thoughts and rode a little more....well, the rear fender looks a little crooked, subframe has been reconfigured... The "[b]intermediate" track[/b] (well, junior track some call it) got a lot of action too, as did the Kiddy track....I saw about 5 of them going at it for quite a while.... what fun it is to watch them little ones... for they grow up to be big bad riders.... wish that one of the woods guys would report on events deep in the jungle... oh yes, it was a busyday checking in bunches of people, quite a few last-minute decision makers.... Shiftless, Crispy, Scooter and Fast4Ward could'nt scribble names and particulars fast enough... and that's the way it was on Day 3! cheerios oops, wanted to post some pics, but dont have the transfer cable for my digicamera... will figure something out.... sorry!
