Went dual sporting today. I had my KTM 530 EXC , as did Gary. Perry had a 350 KTM ...I rode it and I liked it.
We rode 120 miles total. Lots of forest...mud was challenging, and funny. A couple red clay hose downs happened by accident. The views were spectacular and dust was minimal. There is no better work out than a day on the bike.
We stopped at our friend, Oz Welch’s pad...he builds the baddest lead sleds in the world...here is his newest build.

I sometimes miss my '01 CR500. I use to toy with the idea of trying to make that thing street legal. What beast that thing was.

Still think that Nordic at LOTO would open some eyes. :)

It definitely is a missile!
However the big water at LOTO is really not where it belongs. Sure would be fun for the shoot out but the rest of the running around in BIG waves bouncing off the cliffs never dying down. No fun. I Didn’t build the boat for the garbage water.

I was specifically referring to it running in the Shootout. :D

Dont forget.. One of the first outboards on our river, he bought it new in 1976 and been running the river every sence. Just different motors.. not the nicest boat but he is not afraid of running some thin water!

Cool boat, what hull ?

I honestly cant remember. I do know it was built here in salem oregon. A guy here built them for a few years I guess. I will find out exactly when I see him in the next couple days.

And agreed, it very well could be a splash of a tahiti

Pretty alright day in the Delta. 170+ miles to Sacramento and back. Swabbies doesnt suck. Chasing behind Church Dogs Skater doesnt really suck either. Very happy with how the 21 Liberator runs and handles the filthy cruiser wakes. The Merc cleaver is hands down the best prop Ive run on this boat. Pops on plane fairly effortlessly and will run up over a hundo when needed.

The 2nd band at Swabbies was very good. The 5mph zones are sooooooo much better going down current when its ripping 4mph.
What a fantastic day

Tomorrow will be another epic boating day. Taking (2) 308 Skaters to San Francisco, meeting our buddy in his 32 Concept center console. Dock at South Beach harbor and walk around from there for lunch. I invited KingofBeers wife to join us, sadly she said he has to join us also.:D:rolleyes:

Yes he's happy, now we get to hear him cry about how slow it is. "Only" going 120+ with 4 people. The swells outside the Gate were legit 5' at least and very close together. We were down to 30mph & still aired the props a few times. Had a blast, it was almost 90° in SF yesterday.
