[QUOTE="holeshot, post: 386812, member: 17202"] I was kind of hedging on this trip because: 1. I didn't think the Nissan jalopy would make it. 2. I can't get comfortable in a tent/cot situation. But I went anyway, and I was right, the old beater let me down at Pearsonville. A boost, a new battery and a stay in Ridgcrest got me going to KM the next morning. I took the bike on a test ride early in the morning, and all seemed fine. An hour or so later, I left on a ride up Jackass with Porkchop leading and Old'n Stealthy and I following. Porkchop set a really brisk pace on his CR500, so I was having a hard time keeping him in sight, but then he dumped it between a couple of rocks. For a minute there, I thought he was chopped liver, but he picked it up and kept riding as if nothing happened. :eek: My four stroke started to eight stroke as elevations and temperatures rose, so I abandoned the ride and went back to camp to get things leaned out. The next morning I went for another test ride up Jackass. Things were going well, so I decided to keep riding to Monache and cross the river, returning four hours later (after getting lost a few times). Later on, Eel (the Wheel) and Thumbs returned from their epic ride looking like ghosts. :) It's a good thing I found the 2 foot thick air mattress at K-Mart, otherwise this city slicker wouldn't have made it. If next year happens, I'm bringing a [B]real[/B] trailbike........ [/QUOTE]
