Has to be tomorrow for me. A lot of my friends are doing that ride to Big Bear Sunday, but I can't swing it. We're trying to get it figured out now - will let you know if we get our act together.

Maple Springs
I and a buddy may have to join at Maple Springs. I will be the slow guy on an exceptionally gorgeous 450EXC. My buddy will be the slower guy on a white - yes, white - 530.

Pro Cycle Mirrors

HDBs
So, I take it I can't just buy the mirrors alone then? Great. I just put a brand new set of Cycras on my 450 EXC. Wish I would have seen these first. The KTM folding mirror is a piece of junk.
