I'm going to blast up buckland ridge on Monday after work about 5 or 5:30 if anyone wants to go for an hour or two
before I have to head into the garage to get ready for OSRC.

Not sure if its official but I rode up to tibble last night and the post at the bridge where the single track starts no longer has a green sign on it stating the trails are closed to all but foot traffic. It was there Friday evening and I can't imagine the trails dried out this weekend

Never been there. Is there a good meeting spot close to the trail?

I drove up today and the lady at the kiosk said she had no clue what was open and what wasn't. Nice.

Cool. I think I remember how to get there. I will try and be there about 5-515

At 5:44... I rode thru a wash that ran down the trail and the bars started whipping back & forth. The video doesn't look that bad, but I almost lost it. It took everything I had to control the bars and keep the bike up!
Yeah... seem to have slowed down noticeably after that. I do exactly the same thing! Fun looking ride. I'm jealous of the riding areas you have locally in Fruita.

Yep, I really thought I was going to pile it up right there! Middle of nowhere too, wouldn't have been pretty, I'm sure. I was going too fast... but taking everything slow is no fun, is it?
I love living here, lots of places to ride on a plated dual sport.

Didn't get to ride this weekend so I tossed the light rack on the drz and headed up to do a few hours of trail riding. The road was closed with all kinds of emergency vehicles and the rain came in so I turned around at grantsville res. it was dark on the way home and the lights are awesome. I think I rode 80% and it was raining really good also.

Using that battery pack from ebay? How did it perform with the light bars?

No the drz has a battery and these are just wired to the stock headlight wires.

How bright are they? That was a sweet rack you built for those light bars. Does it add much weight to the front and/or effect steering or handling?

They are really bright. 6400 lm with the pair. I did feel the weight but just turned up the stabilizer a few clicks and forgot about it after a min of riding.
Keep in mind this setup draws 80 watts so even with a stator your bike could not run this set up.

Oh I know, I was just curious is all. Sweet set up for sure.

It was almost dark and I didn't want to "poach" the trail if it was just some jackwagon steeling the sign.

As long as the rain stays off, I'll probably still head up there tonight (it quit about 30 minutes ago).
