Where do I sign up!!!  That would be me doing a face plant on the first obstacle.

[loingrader]

isn't that hilarious!  i love it.

[Hank]

Alan and I need to race our 950s around there.  Or maybe not!   Would be fun on the 400!

[LittleJacket]

that's awesome!  We should have a group vote on which one of us should represent the Dakota Dual Sport Riders.  My vote is for Brian because deep down I know he's the craziest! 

[flexlarson]

WOW that looks fun ..........I just printed the registration but I dont think the DR is setup for this.........Its way to big to be pulling over and lifting over things for any extended period of time. I may think of using the XR but it needs carb work and a clutch ( I think) . HUMM
Ill consult with my advisory crew. (Chad and Ryan.

[Hank]

Loingrader needs to run his KDX through that.    Craigslist has a 99 KDX220 listed for 1200.. and it's tempting.  They are such fun  bikes and it would be a good bike for that.    If I buy it I'll loan it to you Brian

[LittleJacket]

you down to represent us loingrader?  Brian???  Maybe we should contact that guy who lives near Deadwood with the old XR.  He's obviously good at jumping logs and such. 

[loingrader]

i've never competed in anything like that.  would be a blast but i would want to run the course a few times before competing.  i'd probably make a big ol ass of myself!!!  if i was in rapid i would have to do it anyway.  being 200 miles away i doubt it will happen this year boys.  my vote is for flex on the xr.

hank, i'd probably pull the trigger if it was a 200.  those 220's are just jetted so much differently (kinda like the old 250's) that i would want to ride it a bit before i bought it to make sure it was what you wanted. 

[Hank]

I was wondering what the 220s where like.   I had a KDX250 a couple years after I so foolishly sold my 200 and I really didn't like the 250 at all.  It's powerband was more like an MX bike than a trail bike.   I didn't keep it long.

[LittleJacket]

training starts today flex-we've voted you as our man!  you are already in good physical shape so it should be easy.  Now we just need to get that XR ready!  Anyone available to design a jersey???

[flexlarson]

Im gonna do it on the XR. Gotta get the clutch done and carb dialed and anyone that knows suspension may kindly volunteer setup advice.

I have registration gonna send in on monday.    Im gonna start training a bit different the next few weeks.

Tips, Advice would be accepted.

I gotta get the following for the XR.

Hand guards, Bigger knarly foot pegs, weld a small crack in frame, dial in carb, new clutch, New riding boots and a Jersey to represent DDR.

[loingrader]

that is good news flex!  you need to find a heavy construction site somewhere to practice (preferably not covered with a foot of snow)

[Hank]

Brian, you will officially be THE MAN if you do this.  I'm tempted to drive to Rapid to watch this spectacle.   When/where?

[flexlarson]

Its January 23rd 2009 .
I started doing high reps tonight and a ton of situps. Ordering a clutch right now.
