Where is everyone?

Hey everyone! It's been awfully quiet on here. Has anyone been doing any riding . I see a few on the west side but not much going one over here on the east side of WA. We moved into kennewick, and went on a vacation, but other than that not up to much except for the occasional softball tournament. I haven't ridden my bike since I raced it in the middle of march. What has everyone else been up to. The only action I see on here is Hodakaguys VW restore adventure( which is bada$$ btw)

I am still alive. Been doing some rideing. I noticed a lot of the forums are quiet. I enjoy reading peoples ride reports. I suck at grammer and up loading pics so I dont do much. But I check in all the time. Kinda weird that it ha gotten quiet. This site was and still is one of my favorits. Its on a more personal level. You kinda get to know the people here. We are riding this weekend going from Cashmere to Entiat. I will try and take pics to post.

I've done some riding but not so much dual sport. Did a "circle the shitties" ride a couple weeks ago on the vstrom - over through Echo into PDT, then Holdman to Burbank. Mrs dhally and I went to Palouse Falls last Sat and the hills were nice and green all around. I've done some local dirt riding but the subdivisions are popping up everywhere.

In a couple weeks I'm headed for Enterprise for the advrider campout.

Here is mrs dhally somewhere on the way to Palouse Falls.

I'm here every day...at least twice

Haven't taken the WR out in a long while. Honestly if I didn't look forward to the Naches ride and maybe 2 others I do throughout the year...the WR would be up for sale right now.
I do ride the Yz 2 or 3 times a month.. (OK maybe 2x on average)

*should be buying a new bike next summer or fall.

Rode last weekend up over Jackspass (Skykomish area) and logging roads. First time out for the season. It was a hard winter as there are tons of downed trees. Just waiting for it to quit raining over here.

I haven't ridden at all in May, just getting my XT ready for the summer since the WR is going to be ridden by my dad. I put on a TUBliss tube system, tires, and a bunch of other nick nack parts.

speaking of naches, are we doin that again this year? id like to thats for sure. id like to get a date figured out because im getting acl surgery in the fall so i want to make sure Naches is before that. Is Yamwow and Relaytech still alive?

I have been riding and racing quite a bit this year. Keep forgetting the camera so no pic's. Mamacone and I are headed to the Blackdog Dual Sport run June 8th and 9th. Ill try and remember to take some pic's for a ride report. The weekend after that my son and I are going to run the Washington back country route South to North. Ill try and get some pics and a report up for that ride too.

The last two times I rode my bike were in races , way back in march . Itching to ride for sure. what races did you do?

We ran the Eddie Ville 6hr and the 12 hr at Goldendale. and the National Hare and Hound in Idahoe. Ive been pretty lucky this year I been on the bike almost every weekend.

I've been pretty busy doing other stuff but I try and squeeze the bike in when I can

Hi oring! Yeah, I haven't been posting on here for a while. I would really like to do another Naches run this year, just have to figure out a good time for it. Would be nice to go when there is not many Jeeps!
I am hoping to hit up Morrow County, and Ukiah pretty soon. Will let you know when.

I haven't been able to ride in the dirt because all I had was a streetbike, however I have rectified that egregious situation. I am now in training for the Desert 100 in Odessa, this will be my third year and I plan on actually being in shape for it this year.

wheres Inspector and his new bike??

New bike isn't new anymore...LOL

I just had my arm screwed together last week after breaking it in May!?!  Really looking forward to riding!

mountain dirt has changed to snow  

I've started my training regimin for The Desert 100 in Odessa on April 5th & 6th. This will be my 3rd year and it has kicked my butt the previous 2 times. This time I am training like crazy so I can kick its butt! I wait all year for this ride.

I am more like every three years for the Odessa ride. I am planing on the Touratech ride in Plain at the end of June.

am I the only one (besides Inspector) riding here??? lets see some ride reports people  

I just can't get excited about riding in freezing fog. Maybe the sun will come out again some day.

Sorry Kevin, I should rephrase that

what fog? I've been out riding (not always on wheels) every weekend   
you're probably too busy out hating on the libertarians  

All from the last few weekends:

Finally made it out after getting my arm bolted back together.  Went up around Lake Cavenaugh and FR 18 a week ago.  I had flat track tires and the GS rider had 2 new hips, so we took it kind of easy.

 Nice!! Just wanted to congratulate you on getting out there after your recovery. I tried my usual quickie to Tillamook down here a month or two ago and the slab really put the fear on me with ice and a 606 so I chickened out!
