Cool moto pic Lou! How was your trip? Results may very, but I'm curious if you could kick down with a little report?

My Shasta report.

I started this shasta trip with a motor swap the week before as my motor had 60 lbs in #1 so threw in a unknown 1600 dp I had gotten with a bus a while back.
I got it running and packed the bus for shasta. I said I was going to take it easy this year. Well that lasted until we hit dirt on Bear Valley rd. We cruised around the lake bed with a few buses on the way to the rampage spot.

The RS was cool lots of buses and folks working on there rigs. There was shooting and a great fire. We got a good start and hit some great roads heading towards Hull MT. I talked to a local that said the gate was locked at the top. Kevin broke a tranny. had another and preformed a great swap. We went the m1 and then cut off on a road to Covelo we hit a lock gate 5 miles form Covelo one bus made it through cattle pasture with some digging. went back to get my bus and folks were not keen on driving through the pasture some did and we descended in to Covelo and got gas meet the locals and the police gave us an escort to the local dinner. We ate had headed to the bridge where we camped under it.

Woke up and checked oil and what not and headed up the hill to the road made it. Went back down to help the other bus up. Lance had a problem and split his tranny in half. We decided to send a runner (Richard) to Christopher's for a tranny. Removed the motor and 2 piece tranny from green truck. Got new tranny and got together after figuring out he had a 1 year only set up.

Hauled ass to Shasta as a big group. Had a Blast I will do it again. Shit always happens on Shasta and it does not go as planed but that's life. I had a great time with some very cool people.

Thanks Lou, great report.

I know what it's like to -try- to take it easy on the SST, doesn't always work out Laughing

I just wish everybody had the courage to get around that gate like you and the other dudes -would have prevented the maelstrom of broken shit that teams suffered in those mountains.

Love the police escort in Round Valley too, epic stories!

Really GREAT VIDEO! The music selection can really make or break any video, event, date, you name it. Old school surf music, the high speed GOPRO edits from location, to location, really hit the spot! The feeling the video gives with those tracks, the buses, etc, was the same feeling I remember from one of Charlie's post-OCTO parties where he had a surf band set up playing right in his garage, alongside the pizza, beer, and buses.

That was my band at the time, The Dynotones.

This is the trip of my dreams. Sadly I don't qualify with my 1970 bus. As I am not a rich man, I'll never have a splitty at this point. Shoulda bought one 20 years ago when they more affordable. I do these trips by myself on the Humboldt county backroads now.

I agree with woodslat! Get the word out that you want to co-pilot. You'll have a great time, and it'll usually cost a lot less.

Always good motivation.

But is anyone else afraid of Brian populating a planet...and so quickly?
