SPOKANE Area Riders

You guys are painting quite a picture! I'd ride over there just to hide in the bushes and snap a paparazzi shot to post here if I wasn't on daddy day care duties this weekend!

Just a heads-up -- I am only a few miles east from Liberty Lake, and we got a fresh coat of snow last night; it doesn't look like the valley got it though. It might be slick in dem dere hills.

I got back about an hour ago. There was some snow and ice but mud was my big annoyance of the day. I cut out early do to a sticking throttle tube after a muddy hill climb tipover. I don't know if mud jamed up between the tube and the bar or is my return cable failed. I will check it out more closely tomorow. It was good to see you this morning Ladybug,

I got a good pic of how the mud entered the throttle tube.

Great day... Hit some snow. Did 24 miles of dinkin around. Even though I've been working out, I'm amazed at how much the woods can take it out of you.

Well.... Where it is? I got it all on video too. I'm surprised the tree I slammed into when I ejected is still standing. Thanks for helping to point my bike into a sensible direction Paul.

My first tipover of 2013. I was turning around after a failed, very muddy, hill climb attempt.

Just trying to post a video of Spion Kop Rock.

Kootenai Rider on Spion Kop Rock last summer. No brain, no pain?

Here is a little video clip I put together from the Liberty Lake ORV ride last Sunday.

Not happy with what YouTube did to the video quality. I guess because it didn't detect the clip I uploaded as "HD" it defaulted to the lowest quality setting.

Yep, that was a lot less snow than we had just across the ID border. Now I sorta wish I could have made it out there.

I'd love to know why that happens. If I edit my videos at all (if I run them through any editing software), they load in that same poor quality on YouTube. If I load them in raw form, they look fine. The file format remains the same after editing, so I doubt it is that. I've never cared enough or had the patience to look into it any further, so if you find out, let me know!

Made it back from Baja yesterday afternoon. As always, there were some nice sunsets.


This was Gonzaga Bay monday evening.

A couple pics from Liberty Lake the other day....

Yup it happened... Sorry Rick, didn't realize how steep and muddy that trail was...

No need to apologize Paul. I know what I’m in for when I follow you.
I just did it wrong that time.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

Seen these in my parents yard today and thought of you.
