The Chronicles of a Moe.ron

yes he is and he passed you bob...., took his pic here going up the icy hill on quatal.



good job chris getting brian his first taste of dual sport.

I got me a cheap pair of Bilt pants to start with. There are Knee pads built in, no hip pads but there are pockets for some padding. At least I think thats what they are for. I am going to take the pad from the back of an old jacket and cut to fit.

I think I bounced on the pavement harder than I thought, feels like I cracked a rib or something...

Looking forward to doing it again. Last night I told my wife I wish I felt better so I could go out and play again. She looked at me like that was not a normal statement.

Got a little trip to Quartzsite AZ coming up in a few weeks.

Starting to OVERthink about real tires...

Nice to meet you too Bob

What do you know of the Bouquet Canyon area? Thinking of trying to get a little dirty there next Sunday.

That appears to be right around the corner. Near Santa Clarita?

There is a shooting range in Piru I have been meaning to take a look at for about 5 years now, maybe we could roll by on the way home for a look see.

There is some nice dirt there. I have only been on it twice. This weekend I am heading up to Big Sur for a street ride. I'll be back Sunday evening. If you want to do a street run you are more than welcome to join.

The inmates have done it a bunch!

It's been a bit since I checked in here....

UpState, Great to see you and Moe met Lonestar. I knew Y'all were in the same area. Very cool. He even posted a photo of you in my thread, but I didn't recognize ya. A small ADV world.
DON'T ask 2112 why he stands all the time. It's a sensitive area.

Enjoying the thread!!

So,,,what do you guys have against traction?
Those little bumpy things they put on dirt tires work good,really.

Something like these will do a surprising amount of good when you land on your knee and they are cheap insurance. I hope your rib heals up, those injuries really suck.

Nuttin :huh Bolting on one paycheck at a time...crashbars from A-Spec were first, tires are next ​

I have similiar style, but from EVS. They do offer a bunch of protection and they are affordable @25$

For the price of the crashbars you coulda had 3 sets of tires with traction and not needed the bars.

Im only bust'n chops,hey is westcoast snow like eastcoast snow?

Tires would not have saved me at that intersection! I am so glad those bars are on my bike, damn thing would be a mess right now without em'! Like Chris said, one check at a time, tires coming...

Its all good.

Gear is super important too.

Have'n the balls to give it a try is the important part.After that,it kinda becomes an obsetion,sickness and a addiction all wraped in one.

Sickness and addiction...I got no problem with that!

If it's worth doing, its worth overdoing

I KNEW you would be on the same page!

Part Four (No moe.ron 2)​

Again there is no moe.ron...just me and the F8 on my one day off this week. Decided to explore the area around Bouquet Canyon Road in Angeles NF...

High speed slab of 126 ..through the lemon farms...nice and green this time of year with all the rain we have had...smells great...push 80-85 to just get there already



Up the canyon I find something that looks interesting enough







Nice road!! Not too tough, very big bike friendly, little wet still here and there...views! fuck yeah! the views

Well I upped your rib ante. I frigging broke one yesterday. Damn. I didn't stop there. Broke the clavical too. Just for good measure. Little bit of sand on the hard packed dirt. Washed out the front end. Bang down I went!

mutter, mutter, mutter!

OMG that sucks! :eek1 Sounds considerably more painful than what happened to me, and may take a bit more time to heal. Really glad your alive.

You know we gotta ask, how did the bike hold up?

I am as broke as they come, but I'm getting tires. Visa wont mind, the wife is another story...

Dang Bob!! Sorry to hear of this, hope you heal right and soon. Let us know if you are needing anything, you have my number.
