Jordan River

ontheroughside · 01-30-2011, 10:57 PM

About 30 of us got together today (Victoria Motorcycle Club) for trail building and maintenance, at our Tansky ORV property just past Jorrdan River.
What a great day, nice working temp and no rain. Did about 2 hrs of actual work and 4-5 hrs of riding.
I decided to take my Gio X31-250 for a change. Usually ride my Gasgas EC250.
But...wow this little 16/19 Gio might be small but with it's lower gearing and consistant torque makes it a great tight technical single track bike. The squishy suspension is awsome for rock and rooted hill climbs, slide your butt back on the the seat and she drags ya to the top, with no fear of looping.
Lots of people stopped by to check it out too, didn't hear any comments about China crap either!

Sounds like you had a good day

JTCAndrew · 01-30-2011, 11:18 PM

Surely someone brought a camera to document this fun day?

Good for you for helping with trail maintenance. 8)

We have a 250 (actually 230) Hummer with small wheels, and the more I think about it, the more I think we should leave the wheels alone. I was going to swap for larger rims, but it might be useful and fun just as it is.

Holy Cow did I misread that.

I thought you said Jordan River.

As in Israel! 8O

I was so excited! I thought we had a new member in The Holy Land! LOL!

I still alos want to see pictures. I'm glad you had a good day. We Northwesterners (Southwesterners to you Canuks

) have had a great winter so far.
