Yeah same staging as last time. Google maps calls it Walker Ridge Rd.
Weather was beautiful today, could see Mt Lassen and Shasta. got 90 miles in, started out with 6 machines, ended up with 3, one got a flat, one was possible Transmission bearings.
Jay’s new Kawasaki KXF did fantasy, looks like it handles well, and plenty of power for trail riding.
What happen to the other one ??
I was the flat tire. Bummer.
Tim one of the guys from Ukiah was having the clunking noise, his buddy Jay went back with him.
This is what happened on there way back to the truck, somehow the rear tire fell off? I got this picture off my Adventure Bike forum lol, I was like hey those guys look familiar.
Maybe Tim or Jay can feel us in on what happened.
All the wheel studs were gone.
Kind of think that maybe loose lug nuts might of been the start of the problem. Don't know why the studs would be gone though.
We had a hard time getting it on the trailer as it would hang up on the ramp. Ended up using the winch to pull it on.
Tim did luck out as when the wheel came off it passed him up and went up the bank then back onto the road where it stopped. If it would of went off the road down into the creek it would of taken some work to get it back up onto the road.
It was a good ride up till that point that we had to turn around and head back. Unfortunately he didn't make it back to the truck so I drove my rzr back and loaded my rzr onto his trailer as I did not want to leave mine unattended then unloaded mine and put his back onto the trailer. Then I drove back to the staging area.
Kind of a PITA, but glad you guys were able to get it out of there, where you guys went back, it was all up hill trails from there, I don’t think you would’ve been able to get a truck and trailer up there, so at least it happened in a good spot, and you weren’t way up in the hills.
