Hurley Pumpkin Ride '05

[SledderSteve]

Six inches of rain the week before the ride and beautiful fall colors made for an excellent weekend.

Thanks for the pics Steve. It looked like fun.

Thanks clutch, I grabbed some more shots.

I got a kick out of Donna after she sunk hers on Friday. "How come my machine goes bwop-bwop-bwop and won't keep up, that's really irritatiing."

Well your Grizzly has to pee now honey, here I'll show you, as I pulled the drain on the tranny. After that whenever the girls had to pee they'd ride up and go "bwop-bwop-bwop".

I still had to spend a hung-over Saturday morning cleaning the gook out of the tranny as she could only get 35 mph out of the machine.

Of course, I managed to one-up her on the very last pit before we headed back on Sunday and sunk mine real good. It took over 2 minutes to drain and then would only go 15 mph during the 5 mile ride back to the condo.

Lots of fun had by all.

Nice pics Steve. Looks like a lot of fun

nice pics Steve, I had a blast up there also,total of 130 miles on the grizz.

Grizz 5, I checked out D2 and never saw anybody there. Where did you end up staying?

We probably ran across each other on the trails and never even knew it.

we were in the other d ll (not d2)off of the main road

Man that looked like fun!! We might have to reschedule our summer run into a fall color tour or at least move it to the memorial weekend bash - unless you really like going up there 3+ times a year - if you go up that many times you really don't even need to clean the machine in between - other than the radiator!

 

[MrSled]

Kev, no we need to just have another one or two rides

Doh! My bad

If you saw some clown screaming up and down the road on a red Grizzly Saturday morning with the tranny cover and footwell off, watching the clutches shift in and out with his right foot flailing in the air, that was me.

Looked weird but the machine didn't go "bwop-bwop-bwop" anymore.

I second that motion.

Steve,that would have been something to see :shock:. but thats why I put a snorkle on my grizz no more bwop bwop bwop!

I got in the tar pits on sunday and it was over the fender in a couple of places but drove right out the holes

As you can tell, we're still rookies but we're having a ball learning this muddin' stuff.

We'll certainly get together next time.
