Nah, her judgement seems fine to me. I always thought Jeff has a purty mouth... > > >>>So, back on topic...this Scrapefest really has me excited.

I'm just part of the scum from the last 8 years or so. Of course, it looks like we'll be old friends long before Scrapefest anyway (hah-hah; I'm gonna get the holeshot on the rest of RMD in meeting Paula, neener neener). > > >>>Beside, I'm expecting I'll get properly de-n00bed. Well, we'll do it properly, on the trail where it belongs. Be prepared for the wait until everybody finishes taking pictures before they'll help you out from under your bike should you tip over or some such. Though I must admit, when Wudscrasher (A.K.A. "Sandy") tipped over in a tiny little creeek, I helped him up before going for my camera. I have, of course, regretted this ever since. > > > I think that something is mellowing him a bit though. > > Not mellowing...he's getting Paula-fied.

Sorry Keith. The testosterone points only come back for manly stuff like reupholstering your '57 Chevy, or something similar. The Boy Scout thing pays points into a different account, but the "Good Parent" account is pretty darned important too. > > >I haven't > > > hear of any recent jeffications in quite a while. It sounds like Jeff has found a pool of talent from ADV that seems to LIKE being Jefficated. If not for their strange fascination with enormous, inappropriate street bikes around on dirt roads and the occasional real trail, I'd say these people are my kind of people. I don't get the street thing, though. > > The weather here hasn't been helping; however, you could say that he > >Jefficated some folks in UT taking them on 5MOH.

Hell must have come as quite a shock to them. > >There is something about a snow & ice ride this Sunday...

I'm a little concerned about > > following Tami... :-D No worries, Tami is a great trail partner, and loads of fun to follow. Exciting, amusing, suspenseful, everything you could hope for on the trail. > I hear that she's fast for sure, Tami? Nah, you're thinking of the "old" Tami. The "new" Tami is sensible and calm and rides well within her capabilities nearly all of the time. Just don't, whatever you do, lead her to think that there is some sort of competition between you on the trail. If she thinks it's some sort of race (ANY sort as far as I can tell) it unleashes a beast that lives inside of her. The girl is nothing if not competitive if it's going to be a race. > but your biggest worry by *following* Tami > will be the possibility of being hit by snapped and discarded bike parts. That's not fair. She pretty much always comes back with all of the bike's parts still attached, and sometimes manages to add collections of tire irons and end wrenches, along with any hose clamps that can be scrounged from the group's bikes.

Nearly had to call the waaaahhhhmbulance. ;-) If it's any consolation, my thumbs hurt much worse after reupholstering a bike seat last night. ;-/ > The weather here hasn't been helping; however, you could say that he > Jefficated some folks in UT taking them on 5MOH.

There is something about a snow & ice > ride this Sunday... Yah, 8 of us entered Hell. I took a bad spill, yet I was the only one up for more riding afterward. Since we are exposing body parts, here's the aftermath a week after my spectacular uphill nose wheelie. http://home.comcast.net/%7Ejdeeney/pictures/utah09fall/bruise.jpg I don't think it was a case of superior riding skills or machismo that kept me going when everyone else quit. I attribute my results entirely to superior medication. :-O > In UT, someone proudly presented his buttocks as a target for the > potato gun though I never did hit it...came close a couple of times. > Seeing as how Scrape seems to enjoy baring all, he'll have to be in > attendance so I can practice my sharp shooting.

From: SloCalSpode on 4 Nov 2009 15:09 Found this just a few minutes ago on the Payette National Forest web site while doing some ISF2010 research: -------------------------------------------------------------- This past winter the state of Idaho enacted legislation that allows individuals to operate off-highway vehicles (OHV) on National Forest System roads, whether or not they have a driver's license. When traveling on National Forest System roads to or from your favorite camping or hunting spot, you may encounter other drivers of all ages with varying experience levels and different types of motorized vehicles. Please take extra care to watch for all kinds of traffic to avoid life-altering collisions on roads managed by your national forest. We are working with elected officials and interested publics to identify legislative solutions that will help protect both the opportunity for OHV recreation and all of our visitors. ---------------------------- This may help answer your dual-sport on forest roads question.

To expand on this a little: Idaho has also initiated a "restricted plate" for OHVs. This plate allows properly registered and insured vehicles ridden by individuals with a MC endorsement on their DL to operate on all state and county *roads*, not to include state or federal *highways* or freeways.
