+++++++++++++++330 acres Mid-Ohio Racetrack complex
AMA vintage Days also had a great "Vintage Trials" and a "Vintage Motocross" event
on the 330 acres Mid-Ohio Racetrack complex.
Just thinking about Racing bikes racing
around the 15-turn, 2.4-mile road course,
the racing paddock with racers hurrying for the next race,
motocrossers on the dirt course,
trials bikes in the woods,
motorcycles and parts at the AMA swap meet,
the many shows and seminars
and street riders parked and touring the site,
many tent and RV campers
It was a lot to take in for a 3 day weekend.
Next year the www.ahrma.org will be doing this type of event
at Road America, Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.

First-ever "The Bucky" Dual Sport Ride - near Madison, WI
Madwrench took this photo of me on the ride
on the KLX250
kinda answers why I had a harder time with the slimey hills than the other KLX250s
What is the old saying . . .
don't weigh the same as the CC of the motor. . .
at least for slimey hill climbing

The road route was perfect
I was busy trying to do the hills and I didn't have much time to use the camera.

This part of the state,
the flat areas were farmed
the hills were the woods

++++++++++++++++++++++++The Bucky D.S. Ride
Lot of elevation changes in one ride
I liked the grass cycle track that we ran on
Lot of nice single track
To me it seemed the route before lunch the hill were less slimey than after lunch
BTW great lunch,
wish I could of stayed for the supper, but I wanted to get home before the cold set in.

+++++++++++++++++++++++Madison Motorcycle Club Dual Sport Ride
There are three Fall season dual-sport venues in Wisconsin:
Kettle Moraine (southeastern),
Bucky(Cross Plains, WI southwest)
& with Wabeno (northern Wisconsin) also having a spring DS ride.
Wisconsin Fall rides are popular as the corn fields make good connector routes between dirt sections

Always good to see the ladies out roosting it, too
(Editor note: These two photos of the gals were taken
by my fellow Madison Motorcyle Club member "Madwrench".
BTW, the MMC is one of the very oldest AMA Clubs in the USA

zora said:"the ladies roosting it too" I think the ratio of me getting roosted as opposed to roosting was about 20 to 1
This was only my seventh organized dual sport event, but by far my favorite.
Hey- many thanks to the boys who helped push my butt up the sweet quarter mile mud slide. I wanted to thank you again in person at dinner, but because I did a little too much pre-Bucky celebrating on Friday night, I never made it back to the VFW after the ride for the post-Bucky celebration. Thanks again though!
++++++First-ever "The Bucky" Dual Sport Ride - "The Truck"
Early 50's Chevy pickup truck, restored worth about 5 G
Cost to restore this early Chevy pickum up truck - about 5 G
Seeing an early 50's Chevy pickup truck on the trail . . . Priceless
I figured the truck was WAY to nice to be junked!!!

madwrench said:BTW, re: the pics on of the old Chevy pickup. That truck belongs to Speedy Pete (who did the MC duties after dinner). Someone asked me about the truck, and I told them it was Speedy's, and his wife Rachel, who happened to be standing nearby said, "WHAT?!"
Oops.

I chatted with the farmer who owned this barn
The farm was in the same family for one Century
He was also one of the farmers who let use cross his land
Thanks
