Default Werewolf Hunting again - with fire.

Wow! First time off-road with the new jetting and full exhaust. I mean, I knew the bike felt better on the street, but off-road it feels MUCH better. I had a lot more confidence.

No real trail pictures...but we went out to a big aqueduct thingy and played with some fire. There was a whole section that was just like the scene in Terminator 2. I REALLY need to get some video of that section and put the music from that scene behind it.


Ready? OK! Sayin' goodbye to the girlfriend. She has to go work, and I get to go be an urban hooligan!


Fire!! Yeah butthead fire!!! I've got some video too, I'll have to get it up on youtube when their site isn't being a bitch.


I'm in front giving the "Hail Satan" salute.


Hmmm...I have no idea when that happened. Probably on one of my get-offs earlier. I ALWAYS fall to the right.


This is what tight face-slappers do to your brand new Muzzy. Oh well. If it stayed shiny for long that'd be proof I don't do much with the bike! We really explored a lot of cool places this time and for much longer. The last full moon ride was cut short because of the rain. We were able to really explore a lot of land that had been cleared but not developed. Ran into a couple bum camps, and a kid who we think was huffing paint was running down the trail from us. Probably scared out of his mind. Idiot.

Anyway here's a link to the last full moon ride. https://www.kawasakiforums.com/forum...ad.php?t=24904 Next time I go out I'll try to get some more trail photos. I think a daytime and nighttime version of the photos might be pretty cool. There were some really dangerous parts where it just dropped off, and if you didn't know it was there you'd easily go sailing off the edge.

Riding at night is a blast! You guys should try it!

Dude... I always fall to the left. Go figure. I mean, out of the gazillion stalls/washouts/bails that I've had, all but maybe two or three were onto my left. Wierd.

I'm blind as a bat, AND its getting cold (at least cold for a southern boy like me) so night riding isn't so much fun for me. I rode at night alot during the summer but now that its getting cooler I don't enjoy it as much. And down here, its against the rules to ride in the national forest after dark, stupid tree-huggers.

But some urban assault is fun at night, showin' off for the hotties on a Friday night

Nice pics, bro!

The guy who leads has a super bright LED light on the top of his helmet, with a wire running out into his backpack that's connected to a battery. It REALLY helps to see. As for the falling thing, I heard somewhere that it's harder to turn right in the northern hemisphere. Something related to the Coriolis Effect. Who knows. All I know is that my $15 Tusk handlebars are slowly getting bent to the right!

I get looks sometimes when down in the UT area. The girls are used to old dudes on cruisers and squids on race replica's....now that guy in the dirt-bike...they know moto-x guys are hot...yeah...i get looks. they know they want it.

Awesome!! Just one question, why do people block out thier license plate numbers? Is it because you're worried about someone coming to your house and stealing your bike? I did that once, then I thought if someone wants to steal from me,...bring it on.

You know, at first I posted it up and it wasn't blurred. Then I thought...wait should I blur it? I looked some stuff up online. I mean yeah technically someone could look it up and come to my house. I dunno. I mean normally people aren't going to go through all that trouble when they're out on the street to record the #'s.

Maybe since it's online and captured already it's just that easy to quickly look up where it's registered and see if it's near you. Better to be cautious I guess. Here is the thread I read which convinced me. http://www.reddit.com/r/photography/...about_bluring/

The tailight lens is $6 by the way. Bleh...

Nice vid, JE. You definately need to get video of your bike with the exhaust!
