Geezer Rehab #33 Style!

 #33 takes his buddy on a geezer trail ride as part of his rehab program and this is how he treats people he likes.

“Recon” recently met up with #33 for a day of desert trail riding in the Nevada desert near Laughlin.  We explored an area most riders would only describe as ‘Disneyland on a motorcycle’.  The terrain included sand, rocks, steep climbs and descents, rock outcroppings, negotiating rock waterfalls that were obviously dry and a few ridges on single-track that required we get our feet off the pegs to clear ledges.

We made about half of our intended ride and were in some very steep terrain when Recon’s bike began to stall and stumble intermittently. I looked around and figured there was no way in hell we were going to tow or push his bike out of there if it died. It was too steep to ride double and I was not sure if I would find him today if I had to come back later with help, I thought we should get our butts out of there. I kind of like Recon and my list of able bodied riding buddies seems to grow shorter by the day, So we cut the ride short and headed for flatter terrain then made a bee line for our truck. 

We spent the next couple of hours removing and cleaning the carb on Recon’s WR 450 and finished just in time for him to take off for the Las Vegas airport to meet a flight. This was not all bad because it means there is a bunch of stuff we never had time to see and explore. That only leaves one solution to that little problem, we have to go back!

I can’t wait for part 2 when I get to go back to Recon with Recon!
