@buckoW any chance you'll ever make your way stateside again? east coast-ish?
If I do it would be to go see my Dad in Tucson and visit friends in Colorado and Mexico. I would like to go see Neko and ride with you too but I think that is wishful thinking for now. I can’t even get out of this valley unless it is to go to work. I’m too comfortable therefore you are going to have to come over here!

Well the toe incident was at the start of the ride. Then limped the rest of the way through.

100% not true! However, there are way more accordions in the backwoods around here. Same idea tho.

You guys just need to give me a heads up about how many deathtraps I gotta weld up for this.

I got 4 for y’all currently. The first one is more deathtrappy than the rest and that’s reserved for @kidwoo

This is the Chalet in town we usually rent out for people like you!

I hear banjos

Anybody else hear banjos?
We had a random dude walk out of the bush playing a banjo at a campsite in Pennsylvania.

His lady wasn't far behind and dragged him out by the ear.

The next morning our campsite neighbors woke up, chugged cups of redbull and mountain dew and then took off.

So yeah, go to PA for the weirdos*.


*though the redbull and mountain dew bros were from west virginia...

I stayed with one of the guys in OK when I got the M, but can't remember who it was.
... Lots more

How far you want to go back here? I met or rode with almost 100% of the CA monkeys at one point or another. A good chunk of the monkeys that were racing college and national circuits 2000-2005.
wait? where when.. Downieville? Crack in Pacifica? UCSC? I know I have had a lot of concussions but I am drawing a blank

I bought and tried to learn to play banjo about 10 years ago. Could manage the picking just fine but 5 poorly healed broken bones in the left hand was a lost cause.

If somehow, someway, Plattekill became a thing again. I can only hope to remember the parts I walked and watched some crazy shit there. I still have scars from those BMW pedals.

I met a lot of monkeys but got shitfaced with @jdcamb the night before a 24 hour race. Good times right there.
Woodford Reserve pre night ride with Tequila Doug and Babs. Stunt Matty was there also. Dalton was a cool course. Dude named Bill made some awesome BBQ and Breakfast.

I have met a lot of Monkeys over the years some of the shortest have been @6thElement who picked up a jersey at my apartment in Brooklyn and left before I could offer a beer and @kidwoo who I met while he was riding with with Acadian but both were to fast for me to follow down the mountain.

This thread could be more easily answered if the question had been, "which monkeys have you had to take to the ER or been taken to the ER by?"

edit per @stoney

His answer should be, "who hasn't taken him to the ER".

If anyone remembers the shit show that was the Virginia forum you would remember all the psychopaths that eventually got banned. I crossed paths with several of them and maintained anonymity so I wouldn't have to talk to them. That being said @mrbigisbudgood and @peter6061 we're good people.
LOL, yeah that forum was a mess. I used to ride with @peter6061 from time to time and raced the 2005 SSWC together, along with @Agentorangemen

I've met a lot of monkeys, but there was usually drinking, so I missed some names. Pretty sure I've met:

Ridden with most of them, only a handful that was just a meetup for a beer or something. And yeah yeah I know, there's a couple up there that no longer post, but they used to quite a bit. And while I haven't met him face to face, I did have a nice phone chat with gonefirefightin about construction stuff a week or two ago so maybe that's an honorable mention.
