Shelton Fun Run

[REVERUP]

Any Gas Gas friends going out this weekend for a little bit of non competitive fun.
Well should I say, I do like to Poker Race a bit, I get out early and usually do 2 loops for some training one of the days or both depends on who shows up. Great area to ride with very few legal opportunities available.

Planning to go out and camp with the wife and many in my club. Let me know if you might make it out and we can hook up for a ride. No matter your ability I'd be glad to meet ya and go for a ride.

Reverup. I'd like to make a trip over your way later this year as i miss good woods riding. I lived in Oregon for some time but have not riden the wet woods for 14 years and am due. Would you be up to a little tour guide duty if i can make it over ??? I'd bring my son Tyler along, he rides an ec250 as well.

Curtis, I'd be glad to!
Just let me know when you and Tyler are thinking about coming out this way and I will let you know what my schedule is looking like and we can try to find a compromising date.

I really enjoy showing new friends awesome wet side singletrack.

Roscoe I will be at a family cabin on Mason Lake which is close by. I am planning on doing the poker run one of the days and Tahuya the other.

 

[HydroDog]

I will be out there one of the two days. My stepson wants to go out there and ride the good stuff.

 

[REVERUP]

Cool Guys! Looks like I will now only be able to get out there to ride on Sunday.

We will be arriving mid day on Saturday in the Gas Gas sport for our club pot luck and the NMA meeting. Camping out, then riding on Sunday. I believe we will be camped right as you come through the gate same as last year. But look for my motor home with the Gas Gas decal on the front if we aren't there or the club changed things around, if you want to B. S. on Saturday. Or find me early on Sunday morning before the first riders goes out and we can go for a ride.
I'll keep an eye out for you guys either way.

Great seeing you out there John (HydroDog) How was your ride with your step son?

I saw a couple other Gas Gas machines out there besides ours but never got the chance to talk with them.
Conditions were pretty good a bit of dust especially on the roads but other wise not to bad. We got in 3 loops across the highway with a grand total of 66 miles with help from a Gatorade bottle of fuel stowed in my camelbak.
My buddy Tim got a flat tire that we changed out in the field.
It was a good day, lots of whoops and natural terrain jumps to test and adjust my new LTR re valve and springs.

See ya soon,
Roscoe

We had a great ride and the step son enjoyed riding with other people on the trail and watching theskydivers at the airport. We bailed on doing the extra 12mi. loop in fear of not having enough fuel in his CR 250.
Now if I could get him to ride the enduro in June.

How did your new suspension feel. I just had Les revalve and spring mine. I am taking it out Sunday for the first time.

 

[REVERUP]

Hey Ken I haven't been on here in a while, no riding for 2 weeks, just taking a break while I can, its gonna get busy for me again soon.
Les has set up my suspension on all my machines and does it well. I've said it before and I'll say it again he is the only suspension tuner that has ever called me to see what I thought after he has worked his magic and still does so to this day. Now thats service!

I only had my forks done at the time of the fun run and they were nearly perfect once I tightened up the rebound 2 clicks. I did have a small issue with bottoming once in a while on fast G outs or square sided ditches and he said he would raise the oil level and that should alleviate that.

He did the shock now and added fluid to the forks and many other things to get my machine back into tip top shape and I should be picking my bike up tonight. I really neglected my suspension maintenance so just clean oil would have probably made a huge difference. but I'm sure my new valving and springs will take it to the next level. Should be going out for testing this weekend.

How was your set up Ken?

How was your set up Ken?

It was pretty good but my rear shock looses it's dampening when i push it hard. This is why i sent it to him to start with. Unfortunately I broke 2 bones in my foot so i now have plenty of time to send it back to him for repair.

 

[REVERUP]

Wow! sorry to hear about your foot man!
I know the feeling, I have real bad luck when it comes to feet and toes, so far so good this year though. I hope its not too bad and recovery will be fairly quick with no surgery. Was it something you kicked or got you foot wedged into, or a wipe out? Stumps and rocks crushing my feet between the pegs are usually how I get messed up.

Ya get the shock back to Les and hell make it right for you. I wonder what's going on with it.

Did you get your jetting sorted out?

Heal fast so you can get back out there pain free.

I basicaly kicked a big rock a 30 mph.I am hoping it should only be a month or so for recovery. I had RB-DESIGNS do there carb mod and it seams to have taken care of the jetting problems.
