Hi from Gualala Ca,

[ZETTNORCAL]

Hello,

  My name is Ryan Zettler I am from a tiny town called Gualala in northern California. I am 32 years old married and have 2 sons. I started riding when I was 4, the bike was a Y-Zinger pw50.  My neighbor and best friends were Aaron and Alan Cooke (the famous BMX rider) there father was a retired TEAM GREEN rider and mechanic. So I guess you could say I was encouraged to ride Kawi's. When I was 8 I got a KDX80 and at 9 I was on a KX80 then at 12 a CR125.  That was when I first met my to be wife she was on a KX80. I just knew that she was the one and that I would marry her some day. We continued to ride together and started dating in highschool. After school we got married. Now we have 2 boys and we are a riding family.  We often go to tracks and places like Sand Mt. NV, Pismo, Glamis and Oregon Dunes.  Our boys are only 3 and 10 months old. Talan my 3 year old just got his first bike it is a OSET trials bike. It is electric and you can dial in the speed. He still can't figure out the pedals on a bicycle but he sure can ride his moto. funny huh! At about 18 months old we got him a SKUUT balance bike (wooden bike with no pedals) Really cool for kids to learn balance without training wheels!  I love bike and have a few
03' CR250        85' CR500
04' CR500afc    90' CR500
04' CRF500afc  96' CR500
03' Banshee     90' KX500   And I just picked up a 04' KX250F that will receive a KX500 engine. I just need to find anthother KX500 because my 90' is just too nice to sacrifice!   
Well I look forward to geting to know you guys and hopfully hooking up with some of you to ride!!
         Ryan

I forgot to mention that I own a Dirt Moving Machine.   This is how I roll to the local track, just in case I feel they need to make some changes.  Hehee!

 Hey Zett,
  I'm in Nor Cal also,  I had to Bing Gualala,
"Gualala lies within the ?Banana Belt?, a nearly fogless micro-climate involving about five miles of coastline from Gualala thru Anchor Bay."
  I'm RReeaally Soory to hear your stuck there!  I'm in Mt. Shasta.  You probably drove by me on the 5, on the way to Oregon. 
    I'm still waiting for the snow to melt... I think you'll find this a great bunch of guys to hang out with.
   Welcome !

Well thanks for the nice words Tuck.   Let me know when some of your people are going riding. Have you ever been to the oasis track off Hwy. 20? It's pretty fun!  Also if you or anybody wants to come ride out here we have 76,000 acres of timber co. land to ride and all of my friends are loggers so they leave us some real nice jump roads!

 Hey Zett,
 I have several guys I work with who either are related to or left Logging to work for the
Railroad. The Mills have almost all closed down and the Timber industry in these parts is down to a trickle.  The Skidder Trails and Fire/Logging Roads are about 80% of our riding here and the Forest Service / National Parks is like 10 and the remaining 10% is the railroad right of way and acsess road jeep trail.
