Keep me in the loop would like to meet you out there. I have a new front tire I am hoping to put on before going. I am still running the original front tire. Can't wait to explore the area.

if someone haled me and my bike out their from the tri cities i could go. it depends on what the weather is like, and what time you are leaving and coming back.

OK you try riding a little 350 that the rmps are maked out at 70ish and its light so the wind tips you all over if yyou give me your bike ill gladly go ride that the 2 hour trip

XCR500Rider · Subject: Re: Mattawa 3/19/2009, 5:02 pm

I ride my XR every where and get blown to hell especially with semis going 70mph past, but you hang on with your legs and when in doubt gas it! 30 years of off roading teaches you how to improvise under certain conditions. thumb
