I ride in my neighbors woods, not the greatist, but there are alot of hills.If you ride in W. Ny we should go riding sometime, but I have to get the 185S clutch fixed soon. The Big Red should be up and running soon.

I DO! I DO!... I'm always looking for new places to ride and people to ride with,i hate riding alone it gets boring quick.
there are alot of places to ride around me but you should have ins. and ny reg. for your machine,unless you want to take the chance on getting tickets.
we have miles of trails and back dirt roads to play on gravel pits ,mud,and hills like you wouldn't believe!!!!
i don't have transportation my self of my machines but i can leave my house with it and hit trails,tracks,roads without trouble.Or i have a couple buddies that have trucks and machines
email me or pm me if your interested

sweet. like i said my clutch on my 185s needs work, i can still ride it, but it isnt as safe, sometimes it wont shift or downshift when i want it to so its a pain in the arse.do you live near olean or salamaca??i will message you where i live in a sec.i imagin you like muddin, and there is a trail that has a few mudholes on it. neither of my trikes are ins. or reg. around here cops dont care as much.the only thing i have that has ins. and reg. is my snowmobile. the trails that i ride are ok, but without suspension, they can be a pain sometimes. i go ridin with my neighbor once in a great while. he has a golf cart. it would be fun to go ridin with someone besides him, he goes so damn slow!

there are some trails around here that have a lot of water and mud holes.
i tend to stay away from the mud and water(bearings are expensive)but not to say i don't like to get down and dirty!

i love to go muddin, but like you said bearings and such are expensive! ive had to replace the axel bearings in my 185s just last spring and i think they may need replaced again!

install a grease fitting on the rear axel bearing holder,when you install the new bearings.
Buy a set of sealed bearings(remove the inner seal)
If you can get the bearing numbers then you can get them from napa cheaper sometimes.
then use marine grease and hit it with a couple pumps after every ride.

I think you misread the letter.I do not own a cat. But I ride in caturauges
(or somthing like that)county,just out side of frewsburg.my 4x4 is a
sportsman 500 ho.,and my trike is a 86 tri-z,also own a 00 265 lonestar

o sorry for getting that confused. :rolleyes: I just have a 185S and a Big Red. If i could find someone to trade my sled in on somethin i would like to get a 350X. (a 250X quad would be nice, a few of my freinds have em, and they fly!) my 185 will beat my big red on the long run easily, its just geared higher. the 185 is more of a trail trike, but with no suspension it kindve sucks. but we can still ride, mabey sometime soon this summer.

I usually just ride on our farm, but have a trailer. I just registered my 350X and I have a Suzuki LT-4WD that I use to make trails and 'bog' with. I have been putting a lot of money into the 350X making it showroom new, but have the old set of OEM plastics to toss on. I just looked into insurance this week and am interested in riding in different areas!

Email me or PM if you want to meet up. I am joining that Yahoo group that was listed a couple posts back.

There is a trail that goes from Fulton NY to allmost the end of Oneida lake. Thats a 50 mile stretch there. With the many side trails were talking 100 mile rides in a day. On the East side of RT81 at the Central Square exit North of Syracuse 20 miles. Get off there go right and about a mile or 2, just past the Diner and gas stations is a dead end rd on the right hand side with a parking lot for you to start from. These trails will give you a full days ride, and if you hit the right trails you can ride to the Addirondaks. Lots of mini dunes about the size of football fields and senic fall colors and smells are invigorating. I give it a 10, gas stations and resturants are all along the trail. I never egister my ride. Why should I untill NY takes that money and puts it into trails like they said they would all those years ago. 0 % cop presence unless you get crazy.

I'm in buffalo, and we have a trailer/land in almond,NY (outside of hornell) off of 86. I ride a mojave, and am working on an 85 tecate... I have very few places to ride around the house, mainly railroad beds... Found a few trails through the state land near our land... At least 15,000 acres of state land all around the area where our land is.... Weekends arent enough of time to explore it all :-D ....

What exit is Almond on 86? I am off of exit 17. There are a few trails around here I ride often, not much mud, some hills.

exit 17 is that the steamburg oniville exit?I would think there would be a ton of trails there.I ride to the horshoe inn once in awhile,mostly to tj's
den.I ride almost every other weekend out that way,you should go with some time we have a blast.the only thing i ask is don't drink my beer if
you are under age,and if you see a red truck with a light bar just try to keep up.

yes exit 17 is the steamburg/oniville exit. im not sure what other trails are there besides the dice run that goes around the reservation and parker hill(logging roads, but need a pemit to ride there, better to ride at night thats always fun :) ) you ride your atv to the horseshoe, or snowmobile? ive taken my sled there before and its fun to go down peirce run wide open! and i am under age to drink(15). ive been pulled over 3times on my trikes, but only got warnings, but one of them gave me a hard time. down here they dont give a chit as much as they do in some places. and yes we should go riding sometime(ill take big red)that would be tons of fun!

HONDAATC185S200E,I ride my atv.I do not own a sled.I trailer to wood-
chuck hill or oak hill,and ride from there.I learned the hard way,don't stop.
When I was out riding last summer with the old lady we were pulled over,cost me $100.Would have never stoped if she wern't with.But that was for riding on the main road,they don't mess with us on the trails.Riding next sat. email me if you want to go.anybody that wants to ride is more than welcome to come,be it 2,3,or 4 wheels.
