hey 'badwes', let's get a boat, haul it to the top of a trail, and ride it out to the bottom. It might be a little frightening but it sure would be an adventure. Sitting might be a problem but something could be figured out. I don't know what but hey where's the glory if we don't try, right? I think during snow would be the easiest but a good rain might be a reasonable time too, as long as the ground is slick. Stearing might be a problem. Maybe we should just hope for that toothache and stay home for now.

Personal floatation devices? I have to admit after hearing all the bikes fired up yesterday and cracking the throutle on them has got me going. You know, no other bike has the throutle response like the Honda. If you don't have instant power something is wrong.

I wanna do the boat thing! It sounds more exiting than the day I launched the scooter airborne, or gully jumped a logging truck turn-out.

ya know what...i know a place up bigcreek. Its the old dump and theres this wooden mini tug boat up on this hude land fill at the very top. its about 15 feet long and its awesome looking. We considered riding it down teh landfill one day but we figured we would "capsize" and "drown" in the clay

Big Creek is one of my very favorite streams in the CDA drainage basin ... and I've seen most of them. I'm a thinkin' that a metal bottom boat might stand up better than an old wooden one. On the other hand the way you guys keep pointin' out the brake problem, I just might change my mind guess I can always say I did but don't
