I’ve road the dragon. And the snake. The snake is closer so we would go about every weekend at least once. This is my ride collecting dust with a dead battery and hard tires. 96 ninja 1100. Stretched lowered and hard tailed. Straight line bike. Not for twisties. Get your killing on this bike

Hey man we actually rode the snake last spring. It was a blast! pretty recently resurfaced m, smooth as butter. Came up from Burnsville, then went back down and stayed with a friend in Roan Mtn who has a little biker campground thing going, mostly adv riders coming through. Where do you live? That’s a straightline bike for sure, you didn’t ride that on the dragon snake etc did you??? [emoji23] now that id like to see
My sv650 lives for the twisties. Which for better or worse are at least 3 hrs away. But it still hangs out in the shed with tender and good rubber, ready to go. A very faithful bike it has been.

Can anyone ID this wood?
Found on the side of the road the other night. There’s few a more I might go back for. Quite heavy, splitting difficultly is medium. Ash? Hickory? Bark seems different than the ash I was working with last year, though the fresh splits have a similar smell/feel. Not really familiar with hickory types other than the obvious shagbark.

Looks like gum to me. If it is that’s some hard to split stuff. Stringy

Not sure what the roads were like but since it was a big sky day up here I headed out around 10am with the Kia to see if the dually would be a go this afternoon .
I followed the trail of breadcrumbs right to where I was yesterday
What a large day up here
Drug it out roadside and then went home for a sammich

Yeah I kind of though it was gum, but it definitely split easier than any gum I’ve ever tried, which had always been horrendous.

I have rode it on both. Not very fast mind you. What’s funny is watching the Honda groms come across the snake. Those boys have no fear.

After the sammich I flashed up the dually and
I junked and loaded the roadside pile , fished out a few more and cleaned up a couple of live blowdowns to collect later .
150 paces both ways but what a gorgeous day it was

An example of how the holzhausen repels snow vs my conventional fencerow stack. I'll be building more round stacks!

How much is in one of those stacks?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This one is about one full cord I'm guessing. It's about 7' diameter and 6' tall, the traditional 10' diameter holds a lot more wood but mine is built on skids so I was limited to the base size. I'm not interested in stacking with a ladder either.
