One quick thing: If you are on a club run, DO NOT set your radio to "Voice Activated" aka VOX. Instead, set it to "PTT" or "Push to Talk", because what happens with voice activated is you end up transmitting without knowing it, and it clobbers any useful info coming fro...

Welcome!

Welcome!

I carry a shovel as well, I don't think it's made an appearance at a BSJ event, but it's definitely done enough to deserve its spot. Having used a fair few trenching tools, I don't care for them at all. They're handy, and small, but tend to be terrible at being a shovel. So I grabbed a slightly lar...

Holy cr@p! I had not seen that before.

I wanted to pack a small shovel to bring on runs. I poked around here and there looking for an old GI Entrenching Tool, but the ones I found were kind of expensive, and there are now new types.

I would be tempted to ask for an adjustment on that $700 charge, since they "didn't take it out and forgot to change the quoted amount." (This gives them an out). If they refuse, I'd put that bill or a portion of it in contest with the credit card company. I would wait until the new tranny...

Welcome!

I could hear fine on mine.

Bob & Donna, Great meeting you at the 101 as well. Thanks again for the video you took! Hope to see you around town for a wave. Keep in touch with other trail rides you are thinking of doing. Yeah, we're trying to figure out what's next. Trying to stay with "stock friendly" runs for a...
