Ride at RRB in Tennessee September 24 -26

[DG Rider]

OEM

FYI...and you may already know, but the OEM BH2.0 (as @JTW said) are lighter duty than "off the shelf" versions like you'd get from RMATV or somewhere.

We were digging ginseng and my dad found a rattlesnake under a rock. When my sons and I got to him to see the snake we realized there was more than 1. 3 rattlesnakes and 3 copperheads under the same rock. 1 of the small copperheads got me on the finger when we were trying to get the last rattlesnake out from under the rock. I still took these pics after I was bit because I'm a REAL MAN lol.. Thats my son holding them in the pic.

Your no only a “REAL MAN” but one of the luckiest and nicest red blooded Americans I’ve ever met!!

I couldn’t agree more EMAW!

Also, @100Acre i’m not sure if anyone has mentioned this or not... but.. Should’a bought a KRX!!

 

[JACKAL]

8 hours in on our Saturday ride. How much longer on the half day ride?

PS I haven't worn a watch since 4/30/2016, took that dog collar off.

Thursday night my wife asked jackal and his wife how bad the next days trails would be. There not bad at all, my wife asked mrs jackal if the hills scared her. You could just see that s**t eating grin on her face. Thank goodness my wife wasn’t with me on Friday. From now on when he says it’s easy look out!

Go up Widowmaker once, then Hell's Canyon in Tackett. Believe me those we rode were easy trails, the rain just made it more interesting. Everything more bland by long time ride members consider the really easy trails "gravel roads" even though last gravel was added in the 70s.

@JACKAL thanks for playing the tour guide + scout master for us all this last few days.
On the drive back to Ohio my wife expressed how she likes this group to hang out with.

For me off roading is a family activity (I realize that is not necessarily a universal thing)
The first internet group ride I took my family on years ago was with a group of Pilot / Odyssey guys.
As we where on the way my wife asked me how I knew they weren't going to murder us and steel our stuff. (Que the long awkward silence)

We have been hanging around with this group for a few years now.
The comradery and people chipping in to help fix a vehicle has always been a staple.
And, not leaving a guy stranded on the mountain is comforting. (It will be my turn one of these days)

Although the situation was more than a little difficult, seeing everyone chip in to take care of @100Acre was heart warming for my wife.
A shout out to @JACKAL for going above and beyond, taking care of Bayleaf and running in to town to check on @100Acre .
I know you had a long day already herding the cats around the mountain (for 2 days), this made it much longer.
You should have a few days to relax now that most of us are gone.

Thanks again Bob, always good to drop in and visit your mountains there.

 

[JACKAL]

I have to give everyone credit both days, everyone was ready to go at time mentioned, no waiting 30 minutes for stragglers to show.

The aforementioned is typical along with ........

Was definitely a great group to ride with.

I'd bet if she went Friday, u would be divorced or have to sell the buggy. I dont think anyone else got to see how hard u were bashing your machine to get over those last few big humps. I had a blast!

Thanks for the kind words. Just paying it forward, treating people like I hope to be treated. Have been on the receiving end asking for serious help twice with this club on rides, and as always whoever's there no matter 2 people or 40 have always taken care of our own.

A true testament to the 50+ yr old Honda tagline.....

"You meet the nicest people on a Honda"

This was my first ride with a big group like this. My wife and I got up at 5:30 am on Fridya to be at the meeting place by 8:30. We rode for 12 hours, mostly in the rain without a windsheild. Almost tipped my little P500 sideways a few times but thanks to some of my new friends was able to recover. Got stuck once but was helped to winch out. Couldn't get over some large rocks but others helped out to stack up more very large rocks and I was able to successfully drive out. We didn't get back home until after midnight, soaked to the bone, tired, and cold. I thought I was going to have to get a divorce after dragging my wife through all that but Saturday morning first thing, she told me she had a great time and when are we going to do it again. You all are a great group. It is very reassuring to see peple help out others and everyone having a great time no matter what the circumstances. Hearing the unfortunate story of @100Acre accident and how he was in good hands just reinforces the quality of this group. Can't wait for Mayham #2!

I could see that look of fear or anger in her eyes when I told u to just back up as far as u could and hit that hill wide open. But u did make it.

 

[Bad_bowtie]

Your no only a “REAL MAN” but one of the luckiest and nicest red blooded Americans I’ve ever met!!

I cant argue with that. @TripleB is about as good as they get.

I regret not making it this weekend even though I got alot of crap done that I needed to do instead.

 

[gparks]
