Had a blast today. Tons of bikes. Lots of crazy people. Lots of fun watching everyone and great to talk to all the RRB members. I'v got pics from start to finish. This is how we do it in Sactown baby. Enjoy! If I have any doubles of Karfers just pass em over.

thanks to all who came out it was fun. sorry i had to cut out early looks like things got wild down at discovery. hey ray did the 3 wheel bike with the huge sprint car tires actually float? that sucker was cool. had a great time always up for a chance to sit and rap with my fellow RRB buddies. and for those who could not make it i know how it goes but look forwards to the toy run on the 13th. and that sick aluminum chopper in my first photo was put together by our friend rich and was straight raw tubes 48 hrs ago. i kid you not i have had to hear all about it over the last two days then we were working the bugs out of it at the shop this mornning. he built it for terry nice ride so nice in fact i dont even want to ride it lol.

Hi folks!

The silver-bodied trike with the sprint car tires did indeed float. We rode/sailed it to the other side of the river, turned right (upstream) and looped back to the beach.

The delay was caused by Stupid Me initially installing the wrong gear. (Gears can only be changed by removing one chain and installing an other.) I installed the lowest gear, thinking of riding back up the hill. But that was too low for water-travel; the paddle wheel barely moved. After installing the correct gear at the edge of the river, all went well. Understandably, some folks got tired of waiting and had left by then.

This trike is mostly used for Kinetic Sculpture Racing. But it is normally a four-wheeler. Last May, it was a six-person four-wheeler. At Burning Man it was a four-person trike (but without the body). Who knows what it will be next!

Thanks for putting on a fun event! I'll try to have gearing that can be shifted on the fly next year.

And you can expect to see us in action at the Kinetic Sculpture Race in Humboldt County on Memorial Weekend, and at Burning Man.

That looked like a really good time, and an impressive turnout. I really like the pipes on this bike

just some info on the Turkey ride they will be showing the video that they were recording on Thursday Dec. 10 at 6:30 and 9:30 on the HDNet channel for Direct tv channel 306 or 79 and for Dish Network channel 9422 or 9423 and for Comcast you dont have HDNet but check your local listings and YOU MUST HAVE "HD" to see it

 

[karfer67]

can you record it somehow? wonder if it will be avalible on line?

 

[aka_locojoe]

Just saw it tonight on HDnet on a show called Art Mann Presents. Was cool seeing the people and bikes. I don't know who this Art Mann is but I'm surprised he has his own show after watching this.
It's airs next on 12/12 at 9:00pm Central time and then again several other times through out the month. The title is The Hard Cider Bike Ride.

[spinman]

When I die, I hope I go to Sacramento.

 

[necessaryevil]

I am flat out jealous of how many people you get at your rides.

 

[karfer67]

well spinman your more than welcome to come out whenever you want you know we will be doing the rat bike rodeo in 2010 hint hint. and yea due to the dedication of all the local boys we have built up the local scene quite a lot. i remember a few years ago when we started the second sat rides and there were more than a few with just me and sensor, then a few more joined in. there were times when i just wanted to fold the whole deal but we stuck with it and now we are doing things. i personally cant wait for 2010 should be a fun time and to those outside the area you guys are more than welcome i want to get you guys out here!!!
