Anybody ride The Badlands?

[Kook]

A friend and I are thinking about heading to The Badlands one of these days, looks like a blast (He's rides a Scrambler). I have a couple of questions though. First, do they let 3-wheelers ride? Some of the places around here don't. I see nothing on the website about not allowing them, but don't know fer sure. Also, for those of you who've been there, would my 200M be much fun? I've got some pretty good power, but it's so much more a workhorse than a sport model. I'd hate to get there and not be able to make it up & over half the obstacles. Opinions?

I have rode the Badlands 3-4 times and loved it. The best part is they allow 3 wheelers. The last time I was there we seen 10+ 3 wheelers besides our load.

Will I go back? Heck yea, as soon as I can shed this streak of bad luck I am having.

The best place we ever rode! We do an annual vacation there now. Check out the link to my web pages in my signature. I figure if an E-Ton TXL-70 can with a skilled rider can take on any sand hill out there, your 200M will be no problem. Actually I climbed everything (sand) on my ALT125, though a few were really "iffy" and that lack of suspension beat me half to death. They do have some dirt hills that offer a challenge for some real trikes, but the Z made short work out of them. The trick is to bring as many as you can haul and try them all out!

Thanks for the info Howdy & Tim. I'll have to get out there then.

WE ARE GOING TO THE BADLANDS THIS WEEKEND. I HAVE BEEN THERE 7 TIMES AND IT IS WELL WORTH THE TRIP. IT IS A 6 HOUR DRIVE FOR ME, THAT TELLS YOU HOW MUCH FUN IT IS THAT I WOULD KEEP DRIVING THAT FAR. TO ANSWER YOUR ? ABOUT TAKING A 200M. I WOULD. I HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL THINGS FROM A CR 500 TO A 185S. TO BE HONEST I HAD FUN ON EVERYTHING BUT THE MOST FUN ON THE 185 BECAUSE IT IS MORE CHALLENGING.

would a 125m survive or should i just forget about it until i get my 250r restored?

:-D My buddy is taking a 125m this weekend. you will have fun on it but it will be a challenge. I think you can have fun on just about anything in the badlands.

Ok, you all have convinced me. I've got to get some repairs/upgrades done on the 200M and then we'll head over there.
