Looks like a great time. Orange, Red, Blue, White, Yellow and Green are all pretty colors. But it really just comes down to what you are able to do with them that makes the difference.

We just have to keep Fletch in check!

Kyle are you going to be around tomorrow?  Give me a call tonight.

Alright just keep rubbing it in and send more pictures. Is this called Moab Porn?

Okay, did I misunderstand.  I thought a bunch of people from this forum went to Moab last week.  I was sitting around every evening last week receiving picture texts from apparently imaginary friends.  Where are they now?  Were they real?  Hell, I heard a guy even broke his arm.  Who?  Nothing.  Us boring people that have to work and like sitting around watching you fun people need  some pictures, video, stories, and Moab porn!  Come on.....

Its all top secret.  If you're not a member of our secret club you don't get details.




:evil  Actually I didn't see too many pictures get taken.   Hopefully there are a few more that will get posted.
Lance broken his arm.. stable fracture of the radius, no cast required but he only got to ride 2 days which was a bummer.   He attempted to scale a rock face with his wheels in two different non-agreeable paths and fell about 6 feet onto some rocks which turned out to be not soft.
Ironically Paul looped his bike in this exact spot last year, and on the difficulty scale its about a 3 out of 10.. just smallish rock face but it did have some crappy deep sand in front of it which seems to jack up the approach.

Other than that, there were no major incidents, but there was some good material for stories.  Cadet gave us a good show "breaking in" his brand new Beta.  Apparently the break in procedure for Italian bikes involves looping it on a steep rock climb then watching them slide down to the bottom on its side.
Ken performed a similar stunt on his 690 but it wasn't as tall of a rock so he scored lower.

Paul went over his handlebars once, but protected his bike from damage with his body, which we all thought was particularly noble.

Ryan had a day of jetting practice, but other than that, I don't think he did anything noteworthy.  I did see him fall down a couple times.

Jay FINALLY wrecked his 500 a few times so I was OK with riding it FINALLY.   This was important, at least to me.

Robert fell down in the sand a few times and a tree tried to kill him once.  Hopefully Ken will post pictures of "Robert's Tree".   That was actually pretty funny.

I crashed in numerous stupid ways, including rolling backwards down an easy climb and crashing backwards into a fence.  Nobody saw any of that though, yeah right.

Other than that, the condo was nice, the eats were good, and some of us enjoyed too much whiskey a few times.    All in all, it was a great time and I'm already looking forward to the next trip!   New friends were made and new stories were written!

And where are the pictures, anyway?

As soon as I can get caught up, I will post some video and pics. All in all, a phenomenal trip. The fire department showing up and the baby bird massacre stories will have to wait  :o .
