CP’s Talon Rebuild

[Bmurray]

Just got back from checking on the camper and the talon, and I want to know who in the hell parked a JAH way the hell out in the woods of Idaho at my campsite? We’re going to have a serious talk when I get back out there Wednesday! 🤣😍

Ya he does. I’m a bit jealous. Weekend just started, shenanigans coming soon😉

Don't be fooled, Uncle CID knows how to work the skinny pedal! Looks like fun 👍

How did @CID's "R" do in the tight trails?

 

[P1K5Dave]

Do you guys carry a saw for those big trees down?

 

[CumminsPusher]

Watching sunrise with friends and family this morning long night ride lol

How did @CID's "R" do in the tight trails?

This place isn’t overly tight. I wouldn’t take him to areas that are scraping. There’s some pretty good stuff we’ll get into tonight. Yesterday we did 130 mile ride to lake Elsie to ride there

Nah. Usually not a problem with our group but we left without saw so kinda got boxed in.

Looks like you had a little blue “conscious” there that was probably saying “I told ya you wouldn’t make it ya dumb 💩 “

Great weekend. We got @CID through some tight stuff without damage, his driving ability helped, was upon the wheel for that one. Not sure how many trees he’d climbed but it was a few!
Had some broken equipment but not bad for the Airstrip, luckily had a welder for a couple of them. Flat tires, one had valve stem ripped off and another slashed the sidewall but enough tire plugs to get going. CID never wasn’t trying to help with whatever he could, was very nice as he’s well equipped for trouble. Even borrowed a rim/tire for Pioneer from him. He’s part of the group.
Definitely some carnage and shenanigans, absolutely a great weekend

I-4wd doesn’t like these situations. No harm done though.

What a great group of people, ever damn one a dem - no man left behind, evah. Lotsa good ole boy, blue collar redneks rite der I tell ya, jus like me. That tight trail was a blast, tight, twisty ‘n narrow. I was widest at 70” but Wade and Michael made sure I made it thru every tight spot before continuing (which is a good thing, they had the chain saw LOL). Tyler rode sweep and was so tight up my butt in his Pioneer I couldn’t see him in my side mirrors. But I raced MX looooooooong ago and close quarters dicing is still natural for me.

I’m in Midvale, I. D. Hoe, parked on Main Street for the nite (I hope, sign says Parking Courtesy of ‘someone’, nothing about no overnighting). Hope to make it to Utah for a couple of days before heading home for an eye doc appointment (I need to plan better ).

Thanks to Dave for inviting me up, I had a GREAT time meeting all 600(?) peeple that showed up. I was treated like an ole friend right from the start by everyone. 😍

Everyone there enjoyed your company a lot and when it came to the trail I think it showed. I know our group can seem like too much at times but you sure fit in instantly so I guess that says something about you🤣
Seriously it was a joy having you and you taught us a few things. So glad you had fun, we did too. You’re invited anytime! Thank you for everything.

Wait - wut? 🤔 🤣

Ditto, Buddy. 😎

I thought your gang might want to see the track log of our ‘narrow’ run thru the trees. It starts at the upper right corner (Hudlow Saddle) and ends at the upper left. That pin is where the Wolvie had its flat. Camp is bottom right, north is to the right, pic rotated 90* to fit better.

Damn, those Quickstem Emergency replacement valve stems are pricey - $27.50 at Amazon and $29.99 at RMATV (for 2).

My last 2022 spring ride in the desert today, ridden clockwise, 65 miles (blue only, other colors are previous rides). Season’s over, it got hot. 🥵 🥵 🥵 I’m camped in the lower left at the orange/brown pointer. That’s I-70 in gray running from the lower left to the right center.
