Our friend Helge Pedersen reminded us today why it’s important to ALWAYS wear full protective riding gear. Here is a message from Helge:
Today we loaded the bikes into the truck and drove to an area where there are a bunch of tight enduro trails in the woods, near the town of Waimea.
The Badlands Pro Jacket and Pant is the latest riding shell combo from our friends at KLIM and looks to fill the void between their highly advanced Adventure Rally suit and the newly introduced Latitude riding suit. The Badlands Pro offers d30 armor, generous cargo capacity, excellent ventilation, Armacor Kevlar rip-stop panels, and a number of other features found on the Adventure Rally suit.

Today is the Seattle Supercross. We’ll go for another ride in Puna district again, because it’s a little closer to home. Here are some more photos:
We started out by following 2-track powerline roads up the mountain to about 7000 feet. These are rocky roads but in some places they are 2-track, grassy roads, fast and fun. You don’t want to run off the road into the lava.
Today we got on the bikes and rode towards the Puna coast. We had hoped to go to where the lava was flowing into the ocean, but the word was that the lava has stopped flowing.
While on vacation in Hawaii with my family in January, I mentioned to a friend that I would really like to get my hands on a street legal CRF-250X and ship it back to Washington. My friend said "I think there is one on craigslist right now!"
