April 3-6, 2008: April Fool's Ride in Arkansas!

[twotaildog]

Hey, devro here.
I'm looking for Kevin from Nebraska who camped with us in his new big toyhauler.

Keven, send me an email add or somthing. We got rides to plan and Bud to swell!

Hey Devro! It was great riding with you guys. I couldn't find your email address, but mine's knaser@inebraska.com

What do you have in mind?

Kevin

And Randy( KTM 525), when I washed the mud off my KLX, there wasn't much plastic or a bit of glass left that could be salvaged. My chest protector looked like Samurai armor after an attack on a 50 caliber machine gun nest. Even my pocket knife was busted by a rock! Talk about a "Rooster!" Whew!

I can't wait until next time...

Bill Dragoo
Norman, Oklahoma
KLX 331

I know what you mean Bill, my nice new black fork legs look like one of those turkey hunters stood in front of my bike and let 'er rip with a magazine full of buckshot! I guess I should be used to losing a headlight each time that I go to Arkansas, I mistakenly thought that a 1/8" lexan shield in front of the light would protect it. Wrong!




Sandy & I are prepping the V-Strom now for a return trip to Arkansas to check on Russell tomorrow.

Catch ya later, Randy & Sandy.

This is what my Yamaha looked like when we got back 2 years ago.

Bill Dragoo also has a cool article in Adventure Motorcycle/Dual Sport Nnews magazine, June edition. It's about his adventures (miss-adventures?) riding with Jeff Gaston aka: jeffro, during the April Fools Ride.
Name of the article is: "Say No To Jeffro"

I do not have the ability to link it here, maybe one of you do? It's well worth a read, a keeper.

scan it and Email it to me and I'll post it up
I just use a website I webmaster to host with, no biggie

[devro]

Well,
I'm not really sure if I agree with scanning on web pages magazine articles that are for sale. Especially an article written by a friend and published by a magazine that supports our sport.

I'll think about it.

But you can go here: http://www.dualsportnews.com/recent.html and order the June edition for 5 bucks. Or subscribe.

good point, what was I thinking

[tom reiner]

I'm prepping to drive out west to ride lab2v this year, I'll be driving back Mid January.
I wouldn't mind hitting a trail on the way back if it ain't too cold

I was also just thinking, April is only like 5 months away
