I'm trying a new thing this year.... Putting all our events and dates we'll be doing in one place. So if you can't get a hold of me during this time, now you
why.
Are you interested in coming along? Some rides have spots available. We're working on estimated ride costs so you have an idea as many of these I
need to pre-book motels/ camp grounds as we travel in remote areas. Email now for more details or to get your name on the list as most rides are
only open to 8-12 riders and have filled up fast in the past years.
It's not a race, it's designed to be a fun weekend of exploring new places and meeting new people. We provide the framework, you take your own risks
and use your own judgement and are RESPONSIBLE for yourself if you sign up. We try and keep everyone together, but we can't stop the ride if you
don't want to continue on. We do our best to offer Go-arounds and options for tougher trails. Many trails we ride are not on a Map. We use GPS
tracks for the trip. We are all here to have Fun and enjoy our time Testing new gear. Most days are 6-12 hrs of seat time. I like to Ride and if you do
too, I might have a ride for you.
FEBRUARY
CJ Designs will be closed FEB 13-19th. Please direct all parts requests to Dual Sport Warehouse. We will be gone for the Indy Dealer show. You
want the best parts? This is where we see them in person before we can start testing them during the season.

15th Ride prep day
16th - 20th Trans Wisconsin Adventure Trail Ride. or our version at least.....
This is a 1400 mile dual sport ride around WI.
Ride from the SE corner of WI to Lake Superior. Hitting many of our favorite trials as we loop around the state. We travel light and Hotel this time of the year.
LIMITED SPACE - Event is Full!!
The 15th is a prep day so that you can arrive early and can have some help looking over your bike or adding new gear before we head out. We have NO chase
vehicle, so bikes need to be properly looked over and ready as best as possible. Tires/ Chains/ Sprockets/ Brake Pads/ Oil change- Most of this should be looked
over before you get here, but if you need a hand and we can get parts. I'm more than willing to help install those for you. We head out 8am next morning. Camping
is available at my place otherwise Hotel in Town. I'll be working on booking rooms for the trip in March. I'm trying to get group rates to lower cost and make sure
everyone has a place to stay that's on the list. Once I get this figured out I'll let you know what lodging cost is going to be before I book any rooms. Figure about
$150-200 depending on solo or double occupancy of rooms. Plus Gas and food stuff.

(more people , less cost) Email for more info as we get this ride setup. LIMITED SPACE Campgrounds/food/training will be provided to help on your first bike
camping trip or get you ready for your next bike camping trip. We'll help get your bike setup and gear packed from knowledge we have gained over the many miles
and trips we have spent on the road. Need to RSVP by May 29th.
NEVER camped off the bike before. This is what this trip is all about. Group size is limited to 12 riders, so it will be kept small and allow a few riders per guide so if
any help is needed we're there to help. This is NOT A RACE, we are here to have FUN at a relaxed pace.
Planning a trip to Alaska, but don't know where to start. This is the trip for you! Test everything before you leave.
Learn:
-packing skills - what and how much to pack.
-camp food cooking options
-riding trail with camping gear
-choosing tent and camping gear that works for you.
(If you don't have a tent, no worries. We plan to have some available, come and try one before you buy)
21st Prep Day - Tents setup to try out. Bike prep and packing. Relax and learn before we leave.
22nd - We leave and Camp that night. Cook a meal off the bikes.

JULY
26th-29th
CJ Designs 6th Tech and Rider workshop weekend! BIG bike Style.
You can show up on Wed 25th after 5pm if you want to camp over.
FREE camping on site all nights- Hotel in town (about 5 miles away)
We will do our best to offer tips and info on what you want to learn. If you plan to come, let us know what you want to see and do. This is geared
around YOU. As people get signed up and requests come in, I'll update the schedule. Every year is different and New. I will try and offer a variety of
project "seminars". I wish I had enough time and tools to go over every part of the bike with you for your own project, but as you need to get your bike
home, I've limited the amount of bikes being torn apart. "Just in case" something un-expected happens. Basically, I'm no longer doing 10 valve checks
at these events. We'll do one or two on participants bikes, as demonstrations. I "Help" you work on your bike so you and others can learn. If you want
to see the valve checks I need bikes here Wed Night so we can start Thurs Morning by 9am. Your first time checking valves can take several hours,
this job should not be rushed and the bike needs to be cold.
26-27 Tech workshop
28-29 Rider workshop
A $50 donation to help cover food and supply costs is appreciated, but not required. I'm not going to turn you away if you can't or don't want to chip in
on food.
This is not a Rally, just a Fun group of like minded Riders hanging out. If you like Bikes, you'll fit right in. All makes Welcome.
We have supplied Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in years past. Cooking out nights as the weather allows.
There is limited room at our place so I am setting registration for RIDERS at 20 currently. More can come and watch. We have had about 30 in years
past. I want to make sure each person coming gets the most out of it. It's a great time to kick back, meet new people and gain some new riding skills.
This is geared towards the KTM 950/990 Bikes, but many tips can be used for any bike. Big bike training is geared to help you feel more comfortable
on your bike off road. Bring protective gear required for Slow speed tip overs..... They do happen from time to time.
-LOUD Bikes will not be allowed. We do have neighbors, all though in summer we often can't see them.
Here is a link to past events.
