Who's white bike is that with the oversize tank and soft panniers? And what make is it? I like it. Sorry I missed the stories, but glad to hear about the new location! A Husky dealer would be pretty sweet too!

I am truly envious of travelers like that.

so about Hard Labor Creek - I think you fastburn guys would love it. Here's a preview of the trails



alot of open fast stuff. fastest lap time for the ball & chain HS was about 20 minutes. really nice place, imo.. let's send these guys some business and keep legal trails in nw florida.. we're losing all our riding areas of old.

Hard Labor Creet HS

Great video Hatch. Very aggressive riding. Looks like a Tommy Brooks and Jeff Proventure out there!

More info on class and riders would be good.

Sure makes be wanna race again...

I may go down to the next one. Do they have a fast class cause this one looked really slow....

Man, that brings back happy memories. That guy on the Kawi was looking pretty squirrely!

Rick,

I m with you. My first time watching this its like Im racing again and thinking - I can pull this guy but he's all over and very dangerous. Pick the spot. And the Yame rider did just that. Agressive pass in the clay pit.. and then a great job of catching 1and 2..
BTW the way these guys shot off the line I would say this was the AA or A class...lots of smokers also... maybe an age class ... like over 55. And remember this was just lap 1 out of 5...

Yeeee Hawwww!

I guess we never lose that ability to spot the right time to take the guy in front of us...

Backyard trials action.

Gotta love jumping on a bike at any time to mess around.

Love the GasGas!

Are they open for daily rides? If so, sounds like a day trip.

Steve called this morning suggesting we ride some twisty roads and see the sights in Walton county. We met north of Defuniak and he led us through some fun roads, saw a few sights and had an excellent lunch in Red Bay. We can't seem to keep our street bikes off the dirt though.
