[QUOTE="CDA, post: 106341, member: 103"] Wow! :wow: I take off for the weekend to fly out to AZ to spend the weekend with my Dad for his 82nd birthday and come back to this? This thread started because a Left Coast DBAer and a Right Coast DBAer were having a convo in the chat box and I was asked where I would end up if I drove 20 hrs towards the east with my bike in my truck. I happened to mention that it would be cool to have a central meet to be able to meet some great easterners that I have flamed, virtually hi-fived, gave advice, received advice, shared stories, read stories, help add 5hp to their bike haulers :smirk:, jabbed, got jabbed, shared pictures, looked at pictures with etc to hang out and possible get some riding in. I know it would be a big trip and it would be hard for me as well to get that time off and head East to have some good times with these guys, but this thread was about who would be interested in such an event if it was do able to put together and where it would be best suited to have such an event. Hey a lot of things happen and don't happen when brain storming ideas. It wasn't about the Epic Riding, but more the name to a face thing and sitting around the fire telling tall stories and sharing adventures.

I would also like to be able to get in some woods and/or trail riding and return the favor to the MXers and after laughing at them and taking dirt nap pictures, picking them up and giving them a few pointers to get over the next section of logs/moon rocks. To "Big Wave" Dave Woods - you are an awesome dude and ride some great "epic" trails/rides and thank you for looking at me as a guy who would not want to waist my time going on such an event and would rather ride these rides with you:thumb: You are correct, I would love to ride these type of rides that you so took the time to dig through your archive of photos and took the time to share with us and made sure we knew who each rider was and their outstanding background of achievements, but again this pole/meet was not intended to be that "epic ride" but an "epic meet".
