fun with rocks and trees

Jeepers man! Slow down! I kept thinking I was going to hang up a handlebar on a tree. You were also going too fast by the sign at the trail head to read it. Was it the one that says "No Motorized Vehicles"?

We were all legal. Sign says no ATV's however I have seen ATV riders foolish enough to try it. I am loading a second video that shows what happens when a tree gets in the way.

It's here- it may not be available for a bit yet. 30 years of riding that trail and this was a first. http://youtu.be/pCs2WHlXssE
 
That made me hold my breath and breath deep in cyclic phases Jim. That stoney stuff sucks. I like doing it on a Combat with big gas tank. Kind of weird with a Cdo's mass taking up the edges of lips and dips. The TransAmerica Trail goes nearby here - your video urges me to track it down someday. Wes my local buddy has a place in CO he runs a 100cc on pensively not to get lost on huge Mt tops or stuck in deep road wash out ravines.

I like rocks. It is where 13 inches of travel comes in handy. Jim
 
Yoose guys got 13" to Peel's 6" - well I can only reflect on ancient male defense we claim women told us - its how well the inches are worked that matter : )

I hope you paid some attention to the automatic straight steering much of the time. That happens when the bike is made to automatically tend to fall into direction of turns on loose traction that takes out most the tire confiict that can build up on pavement zings.

Those are really fun paths with some dicey sections I'd creep over too but they are indeed well beaten paths like I chase deer on rather faster at times so consider them inviting routes to the raw stuff - that I fear I might not ride away from. Wes's driveway equals the worser rock knobs and lips with diagonal rutting on 30-35' slope. I might never of returned to cycles if my home had that level to deal daily. We do it routinely but never calmly. Its used to stop me now and then to re-group a better style and path in and out. Too slow can be as bad as too fast. Part my Cdo fun is finding new limits and off road is wide open territory it seems.

That is Timberline trail in the Taylor park area. My favorite haunt. Jim
 
Wow! It's SO not fair that you guys get to live near such amazing places. Oh ya, I live 20 minuets from the Pacific Ocean & or the mountains too. Oh well enjoy!

I hear places to ride off road are getting pretty thin out there. And 210 lb 60 HP two strokes are definitely out except on the track. The green stickers will probably be here too- sooner or later. Jim
 
I can see two KTMs but which models are they? They sound very quiet for two strokes. My Maico is very loud, wish I could soften the sound a bit.

They are both KTM300s. My bike is an 07 model and my brothers is a 97? model. They are equipped with forestry approved spark arrestor/mufflers from FMF. They are very quiet. Jim
