Rick call me and leave an ETA once you guys are on the road.

So I decide to install my Dyna Ring now that my leaky crank seals have been replaced. I'm thinking "I can install this in an hour, then test/tune it tomorrow after work"... just in time for the WV trip. I also decided it's time to get serious & buy/use a torque wrench. Everything goes smoothly & I'm putting the spring bolts back in, being very careful to do everything correctly. Specification for clutch spring bolt torque is 8.8 N-m or 78 in-lb. SNAP!! And it wasn't the sort of snap I wanted to hear. Now I get to frantically shop for a matching bolt & an "easy out" after work tomorrow.

F**K TORQUE WRENCHES. :mad:

I might be riding red this weekend instead of green. :sad:

You know how there's always that one guy in the group that you just can't freakin' stand? Well that didn't happen on this trip. Everyone was super cool & fun to hang out with. A great bunch of people & really good riders.
As I predicted, I brought up the rear most of the time. But once the heavens opened up & the trails turned to grease, the old-school XR really shined! :razz:

I literally just got home... so I dunno if I'll get any footage up tonight or not. But I'll try.

Left the camera rolling during a photo shoot. Threw this together in a hurry, so nothing spectacular... unless you count Bill showing off his assets.

In this clip is 2001kdx, Jeb, me, & non KDX forum friend Keith. The XR was sputtering a bit, but still got me around ok.
Same vid, two places to watch. Take your pick.

I'll try to put a compilation type vid together soon that includes as much of our whole group as possible. Might take a week or so.

Sweet. Did it rain a lot while you all were there ... or was all that just residual?

Also, what kind of helmet cam are you using? Excellent clarity!!
