Steve Lau’s Level 4 Ride
Steve Lau, Dual-Sport off road trail riders best friend
Aloha dual sporters from the 50th state,
Big island dual sport association will be doing an awesome ride on November 29,2009. we will be leaving Big Island Power Sports at 7:00am sharp. This will be considered a level 4 ride because of the terrain we will be encountering throughout the day. There will be one gas stop that you will need to provide your own gas can that will need to be dropped off at Big Island Power Sports on Saturday the 28th by 12 o’clock to ensure it will make it to our gas stop. Any questions about the gas can be answered by Wayne at Big Island Power Sports. This ride will consist of the Mana road and the Hamakua coast with some lava flow crossings and more off road sections in Waimea. Please be prepared for a full day of fun and challenging riding with 200 plus miles. PLEASE NO WHINERS!! Hope to see you there.
