[graveler]

But first my factory Pledge driver was 2 min late picking me up again......why cause the ford was in the shop..... he is driving the Chevy again!!!!.......the only thing that runs besides the gay car.....

yes we are late for Breakfast....

So the day starts with a the who has the cleanest bike.....fordman loses this time....first time ever....There is no way I would get that bike dirty but here is 4Z off and running.....someone please find that pic of Lin's bike after it was done....Incredible....

in the background is Newtrout wishing he had the easy button......

New trout checking his out before the days abuse.......

and Lee trying to figure out how his worked.....first ride in 20 years....

now if any of you dont know lee, he is tall.....very tall.....Damm tall.....

I think a 570 kit is in order..

then there is newtrout.......LOL.....

my camera wasn't fast enough for the double lay over....both sides got dirty here....same switch back.....

missing today was poor sap who had to work around the house.......could have used your camera skills....had to rely on everyone elses....

That's it??? No more pics???

Let me guess, you tipped over and got left behind.
Or maybe you went drifting down a river.

Probably hard to do while sitting in the truck.........hahahahahaha

BTW: that is one Hell of a rock bed above that switchback.

 

[xrated]

looks pretty good.

no pics of blue so it wasn't that good though

Thanks Gravy, There is a process one must go through when knocking Fordy off the clean throne. It begins with a half hour or so of careful pressure washing, half hour or so to clean the wheels, half hour or so for the rest of the bike. No Pledge here, Armor-all cleaning wipes and brake clean.

Here is a shot of everyone checking in with poor Sap:

Looks like fun..... !@%#$%^&^$ Damn it!

I believe 4Z is leavin that bike in his will to me.

 

[ericbigbore]

DD,

Do you really need another CR 500?

 

[sledhead ut]

That's impressive.

I've given up putting much effort into cleaning. Most of our rides start out with river crossings. Seems I spent as much time cleaning as I did riding.

I forget, who was it that dented their head pipe laying it down in the rocks?

And to be fair, I managed to lay it down on both sides on that switchback without the bike even running!

The advantage to running in the back of the pack: Graveler isn't there with the camera to see all the other stupid sh!t that I pulled.

I knew it was lemon scent !!!! Pledge doesn't make an orange scent?

Fordman-Maybe you should ask Pledge for sponsorship....????

Some people had a rough time....

And others were checking for damage after their head stopped spinning....

Still a bit dusty in spots...

several "rest" stops...

Nice bike....

It did go down though.... I was too late to get it.

Great view of Rainier..... Time to plan the climb in May...who's going with us??

 

[graveler]

proper camera placement would have assured us a pic of the red bike on its side, not that I wanted it to happen.........blue bikes and Red bikes seem to be taking a beating these days......

Mine is all pledged up in the garage.... Nothing wrong with old blue....

US??? I think you may want to get a count of heads....some that made the first trip may not be up for it again
Are you going to start with the 8 again?

 

[4Z]

did you notice the dented PC pipe was not in use? Went with the Gnarly FMF this trip.
It is hard to ride red when it is on it's side.....

Nice to see you were able to capture at least 1 quality pic.
Must be Fall there. Lots of orange colors. Well Too many.
