[Nebraska]

the new trannies made them much tamer...

Call them Chutes of Non-death but very fun.:biggrin:

[dan-o]

Nam's looking good.

[Quo Fan]

Yeah, those. I did them years ago on lesser bikes, but age and fear has caught up to me and I haven't done them in years.

[dirtrider2]

Time to change that Paul! No better time like the present!!

Dave

[jdschall]

You all have some beautiful trails!

[Gumbo]

Thanks for posting the pix Splat! That was a super Spring ride - dry trails, sun, and good folks. It is great that a big group with a wide array of riding skills can have so much fun together on the trails that the Nam crew has spent so much time and effort on!

Gumbo aka "YakFish" - I used to do a lot of kayak fishing but now it sounds like I just puke a lot - LOL

[dirtrider2]

Hey Tom, good to see you out on the trails again! I can't wait to hit the trails again!

Dave
