[QUOTE="2strok4fun, post: 795539, member: 29753"] [b]Another KM trip in the books[/b] This year (my second DRN-KM trip) I brought the family and rented a trailer to have a more comfortable place to sleep and limit trips to the stink hole. I should add that my wife Kim, while less than enthused to go camping with strangers while I go out and have fun and somtimes less than pleased with me :ohmy: was really impressed with the group and the quality of people involved. We left home about 1p on thursday and got there about 6ish. A leisure night is spent around the campfire that Boodoc & clan has made and my wife and I do hot dogs on a stick over the fire, somthing the kids have been waiting to do all week, I do manage to forrage some leftover cheese garlic bread from camp Boodoc (cant let too much good food just go the fire) Mmmm. Morning comes and I join a ride with Boodoc and nephew Nick, brother Bill, and I think son Chris and daughter (I forgot name) We ride out Beach ridge connect to Albinita, Little Horse, Black Rock Mtn?, Granite broder, Albinata, Jack ass to camp. The order sorted out, Nick (fast boy 125) Me then Bill with the others trailing a little further behind. I think it was around Little horse that Nick, Bill and I split from the group and ride ahead of the others at a fast pace set by the youthful one. What a fun ride as Little horse always is. We get to the north end and split off down Blackrock mtn. The pace is quick and fun and I am only able to reel in Nick here and there. While traversing an uneventful whoop section I encounter a small log in the gully of one of the whoops. I am not sure exactly what happend, but the bike kicked a 90, struck somthing solid and I was airborn at approx 30+ mph. I fly thru the air with enough time to notice the bike flipping wildly while I take the "tuck the football in and dive into the endzone" position. I hit the ground hard on a slight uphill, 5 more feet of flying would have got me to the crest. After a few second of taking inventory, I realise that I havent broken any arms or legs but my right side is smarting. A couple minutes behind Bill pulls up and helps me back under way. Imediatly noticable is a severly bent pro-taper, the throttle side turnd down a good bit. I manage to make it to camp at a much subdued pace. Back at camp some motrin and a Sam Adams seem to help. More had arrived by campfire time that friday evening and camp Scar was in place. My boys had a good time playing with the little Scars, Jake and Joe. Placelast had arrived with 2 of his in tow and comes bearing gifts, Santa Placelast :cool: . Some beers, some wine, some motrin, some good campfire chatting and Im feeling pretty good. Ride plans develop for the follwoing day, yeah Im in...... Saturday morning and Scar allready dressed to ride knock on my door to wake me up and see if Im in for the ride. I dress, fuel up and roll down to camp Scar and load up in Scars truck. Kelsorat, Placelast with shorty and reluctant 2stroker, Scar and I head out to the drop in point. Surprisingly physically I feel pretty good and am able to "re-learn" my new handlebar bend. Ride went as described earlier, fun. We did some trailside engineering with a 4' section of square tube found along the trail, thanx crew, the bars are closer to normal now. :) more later............... [/QUOTE]
