    Official Overland Expo 2011 thread: Videos, Pictures and Updates

    What you call "whining" I would consider as offering constructive criticism and voicing an opinion as a "repeat customer".

    I've driven the Pig Trail many times. I would go there gladly to attend an event!

    Official Overland Expo 2011 thread: Videos, Pictures and Updates

    I've been to all three Expos so far, but to be honest another one in Amado doesn't sound all that appealing, grass or no grass. Maybe after a year away and the promise of less dust, maybe. Maybe.

    Remember a trailer is a three point system that doesn't really flex or twist too much. Vibration from washboard/rough roads is the enemy. It's pretty easy to build cabinetry to withstand that.

    Bill, sorry to hear about all this, I know you were really excited about the end product. It sounded great that they were willing to work with you and build what you wanted/needed but if it was just lip-service then that sucks. It seems a manufacturer would have most of this stuff figured out...

    End of an era. Race Face closes shop.

    I put the last new Race Face bars and seatpost I had in stock on Travis' bike. I really liked those and had good luck with them. Their cranks, not so much. I've really become a Truvativ, Avid, SRAM guy. But I still like White Brothers and Manitou forks better than Rock Shox.

    Offroad Teardrop - SawTooth XL

    Careful now, my new trailer has become 10 times the amount work I thought it would be. :Wow1: I figured I'd be at least half done by now but I'll be lucky if I'm a fourth done. And of course I'm into it for WAY more money than I thought I would be ! Interested to see your new project.

    2011 Kona 24 Hours of Old Pueblo

    It was a hoot in spite of the weather! A good time was had by all. Great food, awesome massages, and cool people. Even though we sent Travis out in the worst of the weather :sport_box he came back smiling! It was a great team effort, thanks to everybody for making my trip out there worth it.

    24 Hours in the Enchanted Forest

    You know I want to! It's only about 2 hours from my cabin. I think I've ridden that trail, or one within 5 miles of there. Beautiful Ponderosa pines and Aspens and a fair amount of climbing.
