New England Ride??

[fabiodriven]

and i will strongly suggest that to my idiot friends.

You know anything I've said is not in reference to you or your friends Dan. Don't make my words seem like something they're not. I've known these people for years. If the shoe fits...

[tri-Z ripper]

i shall be there for sure, attempting to put together one of my Tri-Z's for the trip if not i'll be on as SX or 350X, I may be staying at my friends cabin in VT and meet up with you in the morning or just man up and get a site with you swash bucklers! looking forward to this school full time and work full time is kicking my butt so let's see how today goes

@fabio if you would like to join me, we've known each other for years. I'm a respectful rider and truly enjoy your company! I would hate to have you miss this trip as it has been since icefest 2011 that i saw you up at Raffa's right before the first kid. Now with a second on the way trying to see as many old friends as possible anyone talk to Deepa?

anyway i'm looking forward to the trip!

[redsox]

fabs, nothing i've said has been directed at you or any of your posts. i was referring to my idiot friends because they're idiots, not because they're drunks. they (unlike me) generally have their drinking under control. lets not dwell on this. there is nothing there. i'm a "positive vibes" kind of a guy. you're extrapolating some type of snide remark that just ain't there bud. i never even referenced anything in any of your comments. peace, love, and three wheels. come to jericho. you're a good guy and i enjoy your company.

THE PREVIOUS WORDS ARE THE ORIGINAL POST. THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN ADDED USING THE EDIT TAB

Wow. Thinking i might have missed something, i just went back and reread Fabio's last few posts. I read the big one when it was first posted, but never-until-now saw the lengthy edited portion that was added. I can see where you made an inference between my comments and yours, John. But it is incorrect. There was not any intentional relation, and my comment truly had no bearing or association to your rant. I want no involvement in any of this drama. Repeat, I want no involvement in any of this drama. Repeat again, I want no involvement in any of this drama. I feel like we get along fine John. As stated above, i enjoy your company. i respect you as a rider and as a builder. I also take notice of how you're the first to help anyone when we go on rides. I know i'm a newer guy here, and you are probably talking about stuff that I have no knowledge of. thats fine. battle on. if you need anything, feel free to reach out. i'll help you any way i can. respond as you wish, or don't. it doesn't matter. i'll consider the issue closed.

WTF is wrong with you? Is it your period again?? Quit being such a dink, this is abt ridin, not a hen pecking club

[TecateDan]

Hey ripper glad to here trailprotrailpro coming. 3 of us will be at the camp site Friday night and 3 guys will be showing up Saturday at 7:30am. Riding is only allowed from 8-6 so don't be late. The group is planning on rolling out at 8am sharp. All six guys will be camping at two sites (Dan trailprotrailpro booking a site for Saturday night correct?!) Saturday night. There are a couple pubs down the street or we can just have a campfire and hang out at the campsite depending on group consensus.

Long and short there should be room for u at one of the campsites if u want to man up and sleep outside ... Lol

[aldochina]

I am a definate for the 28th if you guys want to go. If anything changes send me a text! No biggie if you guys want to bail since your all going to jerico!! Just make sure you let me know asap!! I am bummed I cant make it, but I am headed to the deep Adirondacks oct 11-15 for a man trip with a bunch of my cousins, and uncles, my brothers, and my pop! Gonna be f in sweet! Hope to see Johnny on the trail for some no nonsense riding on the 28th!

[fabiodriven]

If you're referring to me for the 28th Rory I'd gladly join you but I have a bachelor party that weekend. Sorry bud.

[tri-Z ripper]

Dan I was just up at Jericho. They are not that strict about riding after 6. And still not sure on camping situation but I'm not worried. Fabio get your Arse up there with us and seriously anyone talk to Deepa.

[TecateDan]

Dan I was just up at Jericho. They are not that strict about riding after 6. And still not sure on camping situation but I'm not worried. Fabio get your Arse up there with us and seriously anyone talk to Deepa.

The website says no riding after 6 pm so at 6 no matter where we are we need to stop riding. Kinda like this mentality. http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb468/danielvpope/null_zpsb031bf41.png

but can never be to prepared for a freak solar eclipse so make sure your headlights are working just incase it gets dark early. Atcjeff don't like people who break the rules and screw things up for other people so no staying out to late ... His favorite campsite at the hell hole was shut down do to hooligans not behaving so can't say I blame him. He's a jerico regular so I ain't ruining it for him

Talked to Deepa and he has a commitment so he's out :-(

[tri-Z ripper]

SO I'll set my alarm 6:00PM wherever we are we stop riding and Party? or push the bikes home?

[TecateDan]

As long as we can find one of these at 6 I don't care what happens to the machines. I'm sure the game cameras will keep an eye on them until we find the bikes again In the morning...

Not sure you'll get the reference ripper but well fill you in at the ride

http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb468/danielvpope/null_zps1063a50c.jpg

And if u don't like to drink like Redsox here's my thoughts on teatollers
http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb468/danielvpope/null_zpsb1afc36d.jpg

[roostin atc]

So for the jericho trip I plan to bring my small weber grill, air compressor and a small generator. So whoever is tenting we can have power to fill airmatresses, also fill tires. Can't wait this is gonna be a good trip. As for food goes I guess its bring what you want unless you guys want to do a meal for Saturday night.

Dan where did you find that picture of my grandma?

[tri-Z ripper]

I Drink Plenty love whiskey/burbon love the RedSox and pretty much can get along with anyone, is that a DC reference with the game cameras?

[TecateDan]

Circle gets the square on the quote. Craig had the whole DC quote about game cameras made into a shirt. I'm sure Steve will tell the story while we're up there

[redsox]

i'm all for not pissing off the crazy man with all the chainsaws. 6 it is.

[TecateDan]

For those who haven't seen me in my winter gear I should look like this Saturday morning

Funny, u have a brand new 38mm pwk as I too have a brand new 38 as that I need to tune as well. Ran the 40as that's on the 500 on the tecate for a bit and wholy omg what a difference. They tune so easily and are just such a great carb. My machine is still in pieces too but getting closer. Swapped out my 300ex rear shock for a banshee shock that has rebound and dampening adjustment so excited to see how it all runs once back together. Progressive rate springs in the front with 30w oil. I'm 220# so the 10 weight don't cut it for me

[aldochina]

i will probably be a game time decision for saturday! I have had a vicious cold for going on the fith day now, plus working lots of OT slept about 6 hrs since sunday night! We will see how much of a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro I feel like on friday. Roostin, if I dont show, no worries on that stuff man, if you want them they are here. I will probably take that kit you have for the 200es so hang onto it!! Really bummed I'm gonna miss out on Jerico!

[redsox]

come on big guy!! 1000mg vitamin c tabs between now and then, a couple good nights of shut eye, and you'll be top notch! weather is supposed to be nice. clear skies and changin leaves. steak tips and a beer or two. i cant wait!!

[jeffatc250r]

Ok ladies, i got a ride report for up north, one word MINT!
Almost drove the rzr inta bullwinkle! The trail Halts revenge is by far the coolest trail in the park, the lookout is cool too, its all awesome, you all will be happy you went.
I stayed in a camper last yr, rented a cabin this time, cabins are nice, theres dual bunk beds and a futon...so if you wanna pack 6 into one, either someones gotta be the lil spoon or a sleepin bag on the floor.
Headin outta town tomm to hit the success trails and who knows from there....

Guys, can we all kick in for a cabin?? I'm sure it would be great to all be in there doing what we want............

[TecateDan]

Guys, can we all kick in for a cabin?? I'm sure it would be great to all be in there doing what we want............

I would have gladly paid for a cabin but they've been booked for a few weeks now. Not sure when Jeff booked his but must have been a while ago. Maybe Craig should bring his snowmobile trailer and we can use it like a min cabin ?

[Dirtcrasher]

Does any one like to Mansnuggle??

[jeffatc250r]

Packed in some miles today!
We left outta here abt 9am, hit the success trails, lost trails and then proceeded north! Fell abt 20 miles short of pittsburgh, there are NO FUEL STATIONS
I had an extra 2.5 gals and still had to turn around for fear we wouldnt make it back. We rode 110 miles round trip then filled back up at camp and hammered out another 25

BRING LOTS OF FUEL!
This place is incedible and well worth the trip.
Heres a pic of where we ended up turning around due to fuel issues

[redsox]

nice work bud!!!! i can't wait for next week. its gonna be sick!! hell hole was great today. a little last minute navigation, but we got through ok. not too wet, not too dry. lots of fun. glad we went. it was a perfect warm up/test ride. we identified a couple small issues and got a "real ride" test on a previously untested machine. everything will be gravy by next saturday. I took a bunch of pics. i'll post em tomorrow. frankly, its a little like following the Beatles after jeffs jericho pics. but it is what it is. thanks again to craig for the hospitality. awesome to have that spot. guy on the trail sees us and says "you guys know the crazy trike guys from fish hatchery?" yup, i do. funny.

Well here's what I've been doing getting ready. All together and a motor I bought off a board member that was apparently rebuilt. Wasn't rebuilt properly. So taking the new top end and swapping it onto another tranny I have. Fingers crossed it will work.

[redsox]

hell hole

it was a good day. couldn't find craigs secret hidden grill grate. we had to make due with what we had. if you've pee'd out a fire up there in the past, keep it to yourself. i don't wanna know about it!! rock grilled tips. pretty tasty when you're starving!! machines were rock solid. cant wait till saturday.

[roostin atc]

Wish I could've made it Dan, looks like you found a new spot. That one isn't my fire pit by the looks of things, probably why you couldn't find the cooking grates.
Anyways for next weekend does somebody have a small air compressor? I'm gonna bring a small generator so we can u pump up tires if we need too. The compressor I have I wouldn't call portable. Also gonna bring some wood for the campfires, and a weber grill. Let me know guys can't wait

funny. i hope i parked in the right driveway!! lol. i have a small compressor. i will not be there till very early saturday morning though. will you mofo's need it friday night? after DC's "mansnuggle" comment, you may want to provide him with some inflatable companionship. let me know, i dont mind bringing it, but i won't haul it if its not necessary.

[roostin atc]

Yeah we will need it Friday. I'm sure I can come up with something. But a inflatable companion for Steve might not be a bad idea!

Just a heads up, they frown upon wood being brought in, they have bundles there they will try and sell ya, i brought my saw and cut up wood out on the trails, theres dry wood EVERYWHERE there, theres a bunch of dry tops at the intersection of "renys maze' and is like 4 min ride from camp.

You might wanna hit walmart and just get a 12v emergency car air comp like the one i have, cheap and super portable.

[TecateDan]

Okay everyone coming on Friday. I have two tents, an air pump that is 12v for filling airmatress. I have a 12v pump for filling tires. I have one air mattress for me. I recomend that everyone brings their own. Steve I have a tent for you but U should pack plenty of blankets and a pillow and get urself an air mattress their under 30 dollars. Steve and I are bringing food for us. Craig said he's bringing food for himself. Also Craig you are bringing a camp site grill? Should we bring a chainsaw to cut local wood or are u bringing wood Craig.

Steve has a 12x12 canopy he's bringing. If anyone else has one I'd bring it for the rain showers there predicting.

Lastly are we doing a big group lunch for saturady or is it Everyman for himself ? Just got the 250 back together and found out that when John rolled the 500 it crushes the radiator and now it leaks :-( I have 5-6 other so just gotta find a good one and my baby should be ready to roll.

DC plan on being at my house at 8 if possible on Friday. Figure we can get there at noon or one and do some good scouting before the main ride on Saturday. Weather looks like showers possible but I don't care. I'm bring a few extra sets of dry clothes and should be fine.

[jeffatc250r]

Another FYI
There is a built in cookin grate built into the campsite fire pit at every campsite so no grate needed if your cookin over an open flame!

No wood now no compressor no generator.
Full tank of nitrogen for me, and my small saw. Blowup companions are optional.:lol:

[TecateDan]

Had a small flash fire in the shop when some acetone I was using to clean my radiator prior to brazing went off in a huge flash fire. Lost my eye brow arm hair and half my chest hair. By the time realized what happened I had a finre extinguisher in each hand but didn't need either one.. When that was a close one. Think I just need to drag my baby out of hte basement and do a we bit of jettinog then it's time ot rock and roll

[redsox]

two sx's and a 200x ready to go. i'm gonna pack everything else tomorrow and load the trailer friday after work. i'll have a couple of spare tires for each type of machine, a pop-up canopy, two tents, some bag chairs, and dry clothes. i can bring a small propane grill. whats the status of food? dinner plan? lunch plan? are there places we can get into trailside? like restaurants? i think the weather is gonna be a little better than expected. other then some diminished views, i think its gonna be perfect! we can grab dunks for you guys on the way in saturday am. place your orders now. fyi, no fruity french vanilla mocha-chinos. keep it simple.

[Dirtcrasher]

Danny, I am getting food for Tecate Dan and myself. He said Craig was getting his own, but if you need some food let me know and I'll just snag a bit more corned beef and provolone and buns, pizza's and yogurt/granola/fruit mix for the AM. I will grab a 12 pack of soda but the rest will be "comforting beverages". Can't wait to see ya bud!!

[TecateDan]

Bring the Grill and what ever you guys want ot eat and we can just cook and swap food. and lunch on saturday is everyman for himself unlesss someone (Craig) wants to step up and make one of those awesone meat and cheese lunches. According to Jeff there is noting on the trails. ALSO I"VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I"M SAYIN IT NOW> FUEL WILL BE AN ISSUE. THre is no fuel on the trails and the trail system is high speed and long miles. Jeff empitied the rzr and 2 extra gallons. WE all use a tank in the hell hole and he uses half a tank so we need to have double the std fuel capacity of your machine. I have 4 gallons in hte tank 2 gallons in a spare can on the back and goingto pack another gallon in gatorade bottles in my pack. That's 7 gallons total for me. I thkn the 4 strokes will be better than the 2's but still bring GASSSSSSSS

Looks like a couple bars down the street from the campsite but nothing on the trails except tree's

[Dave Little]

There is a restaurant in Berlin you can ride to...no idea the name but it's on the way through town when going to the Success system. I'm kinda half thinking I should weld that G-D footpeg on.....

[TecateDan]

What is the deal with riding on the streets up there? Just act like a car and you can drive anywhere in town or ??

[jeffatc250r]

You can only ride on the "city trail" meaning only the route through town that brings you to the trailhead, you cant go cruising around anywhere you want, at the trail head there will be signs saying prohibited from going any farther down the road.

[redsox]

does that get you to some type of chow/bar?

[Dave Little]

The route is pretty well marked with signs showing an ATV and arrows directing your every turn. There is a part were you use the walking path of a small city park and just before entering is where the restaurant is. The park is also used by people walking dogs, etc...they'll step off the path and get out of your way, but you really want to take it slow through that part- you'll get the distinct sense that your presence is unwelcomed, but it is part of the city trail- the only way to get to the Success system via machine.

....Also when you do ride on the road, yes you ride like you're a car- at the speed limit in the center of the lane, not on the side/gravel.

[redsox]

you'll get the distinct sense that your presence is unwelcomed


that is one of the strongest of my senses!

It was great to see everybody at jerico this weekend. I would say I'm gonna definally go back at some point. I can't wait for the go pro footage of the crash. Get well Steve. Shane I hope your ARM is only sprained.

[tanks350x]

Sorry to see that you got hurt Steve, you too Shane!!

[redsox]

wowza. bummed out DC got dinged up. glad he's gonna be ok, because it could have been MUCH WORSE!! looks like they took good care of you up there pal. i'd give steve a 9.5 for difficulty, 9.5 for form, 10 for the dismount, but he failed to stick the landing, so 2.0. sorry bud, but the french judge can be picky. here are some pics. i got kg200x go-pro video, but its all choppy. can't figure it out. danno, you gotta post the other go-pro of the crash. stat. here are some pics. before, during,and after.

Just sent steve Home and he is def hurt bad! Surgery this week more than likely. Checked the gopro and no footage of the carsh or of anything leading up to it :-( For those who were not there the story goes like this. WE left with 7 men and 30 minutes in DC rear ends Tri-z and we have to have an RZR converted to an ambulance come get him off the trail on a board. We had to deal with an extra trike (steves) 20 miles from camp so I rode it back to camp and doubled back with Craig to get my machine. At that point DC was spending the night in the hospital so we finished out riding the rest of the day. Never made the sucess trails but Jericho park was awesome. Espically "holts revenge" Thanks for the tip jeff that was an Awesome tail.. Just awesome.

I feel really bad for you Shane and hope that your wrist and road rash is better than it looked this AM. I know it's my fault for bringin DC so many appologies. After talking with steve on the ride home and watching the footage of him riding 20 minutes before the crash all I can say is he was dialed in on that machine and handling it unbeleivably well. I think what happened was steve spun his head to look back at the pack and when he turned around Rippa was right there! HORRIBLE JUST HORRIBLE.

Here are some post steve crash pics that we saw.

[IronBear]

Looks like you guys had a good time! RedSox, it was nice to meet you the other day. Hopefully I'll make the next ride and perhaps, take the Yamaha out :)

ya man! put those golf carts away and break out that yammie!! or, better yet, the tecate.

[IronBear]

ya man! put those golf carts away and break out that yammie!! or, better yet, the tecate.

LOL you're right! I did have an awesome time up in Northern Maine with the Outlander, but I'd like to take the Yamaha on a nice long ride sometime. Let me know when you're going riding next and maybe we can hook up :)

[brrcuda]

holy trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro......slow it down boys.... wow a lot of crashes in the last few rides kids. DC like old times man.....Hope you recover quickly.... at least this thread is always entertaining guys. We not 20 years old anymore. I noticed I been slowing down a bit lately at 40. been hitting the dunes and state parks in Northern Cali... ride on.

[redsox]

there are reports of an earthquake in central NH. i think there was just a delay in the recording equipment and it just picked up Dirtcrasher's pile-up with tri-z! i spoke with steve tonight. he sounded really good but he is hurting. i noticed he was back online here and thats good to see. his tally now is 11 broken ribs. he is on the mend, but its gonna be a long haul for him. he is very optimistic and was talking about his next ride. he's got time on his hands, so i'm sure he'd like to hear from his buddies on 3ww.

[roostin atc]

There will be a day again for the RX. I've never been there but I feel for you Steve. Shane how are you by the way? When and where is the next Shakedown? Let's set something up!! Speak up boys!!

[tanks350x]

I drove by steve's house today during work to see if he might want me to unload the RX for him but, someone already did it... I hope it wasn't you Steve....Give me a call if you need anything...

[Dirtcrasher]

Thank you Roy, Fabio did it yesterday. Deepa helped me with the 4 litter boxes today.

I have so much to do and cannot do it :(

[tanks350x]

[redsox]

anyone have anything on the horizon? upcoming weekends are getting pretty filled up. it'd be nice to have a ride to plan around. any thoughts?

[IronBear]

Early November works for me. I'd like to take the Yamaha out, but need to get it registered.

[TecateDan]

I'm not sure the dx will survive the hell hole! I'm booked the next two weekends but would love to try and squeak in a last ride before my wife delivers in late November

[Dave Little]

Got my bike ready to go couple days ago, had to pull the engine so I could drill from the backside a hole to punch out a broken super-out on the forward footpeg bolt- lots of fun, but I got it.
I can't believe it's been almost two years, maybe more and I haven't rode with you guys yet. We'll see if the schedule syncs up.

[Dirtcrasher]

Maybe when I'm healthy, you'll be ready to ride bud!!

[Dave Little]

I've been ready for a while, just life gettin' in the way.

[IronBear]

I'm not sure the dx will survive the hell hole! I'm booked the next two weekends but would love to try and squeak in a last ride before my wife delivers in late November

What is the "hell hole"?

[redsox]

you'll be fine! the dx will be fine. lets set it up? 16th? 23rd? 30th?

[TecateDan]

the hell hole is the spot we ride near craigs house. it's well it's the hell hole and it earned that name

[Dave Little]

What is the "hell hole"?

http://www.gpstrailmasters.com/our-atv-maps/
Zoom in on the area south of Keene. Ride starts at Fish Hatchery road on the western most trail of the system. However....on the internet, as in life...the best maps will not guide you.


@redsox: I can make all three of those dates.

[tri-Z ripper]

well i haven't posted in a minute, Sorry for not returning calls to everyone. after the incident i took some reflection time LOL no really i'm so busy with work and school i have had no time for anything. Steve we're good buddy and really i will call you when i get a chance. I do however have a fractured arm in 2 places and have not gotten a cast and been working the whole time! like a boss i might add!!!! heres a few of my carnage http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h265/german0024/1E6D1521-1154-4A42-97EB-B9295503F46F-2424-000001B3FEA25126_zps4e71cae2.jpg (http://s66.photobucket.com/user/german0024/media/1E6D1521-1154-4A42-97EB-B9295503F46F-2424-000001B3FEA25126_zps4e71cae2.jpg.html)

initial hit was right behind my elbow on left arm. i also have a chipped bone on my right palm that is just annoying. still have no left arm strength, it sucks but wanna ride my Z as well before winter and my twins come in April!!!
i wish i took more pictures of the bruising but ain't nobody got time for that!

[roostin atc]

Glad to hear your in good spirits. I'm surprised those are the only injuries. Hope you can ride Soon. Sucks the way everything happened how it did.

[Dave Little]

Hey, Tri- I don't know you but f*ck being a superhero, get that arm at least looked at man,.... that sh*t matters, 'specially if you got little ones on the way.
I think it's a fair assesment to say that people here care just as much about you as DC.

[Dirtcrasher]

Absolutely, if he has some swelling and some cracks, then so be it but I could not function at all.

I love you guys, I TRULY mean that. My best buds are from 3ww and I honestly find you all to be great guys!!

I would never want to hurt anyone, especially in our group. Maybe a quad though.......

I may be wrong but after talking to a couple guys, you slowed down as we approached a new main trail and I was balls out pinned in 5th, still had a gear to go :lol: Then, Dan said my front brake failed and I had just re-installed them so thats very possible and the rear TRX brakes just skid.

Regardless, your ok, I'm ok and thats the most important part.

However, I hit you and feel I need to give you some compensation regardless of the circumstances because I am not a deadbeat and want to keep my reputation.

You seem to be OK to be able work (unless your the foreman) which is great but if you truly hurt yourself, you need to make sure it is all set; Like I learned after 5 doctors. I had separation, you may have cracks and swelling which an air cast can help but if you are comfortable, then move forwards.

I cannot. I have one good arm and here we are Tuesday and the clavicle feels GREAT! The 2-9 broken left ribs in 18 places still hurt allot. No sneezing, coughing, hic-ups or clearing the throat; But, it's better everyday.

Racing is one thing, but me rear ending you and hurting you is another. So, lets get through this and let me give you some compensation when we are both aok. I care about ALL the guys I ride with, I don't want to hurt anyone even by accident but I was just going too fast and the one friggen day I didn't wear my chest protector and I get destroyed!!

So, just stay in touch. Your floppy kicker wasn't from this, but send it to me and I will fix it to new :D And I am very sorry. I will post pics of my 350RX stuff and my body that are scary real..............

Take care Shane :beer

[IronBear]

you'll be fine! the dx will be fine. lets set it up? 16th? 23rd? 30th?

How about tentatively for the 16th?

[redsox]

[TecateDan]

[aldochina]

In an awsome way!!

[redsox]

No, rzr escaped without any damage, me...not so much
As you can see, dislocated every friggin finger as well as the wrist. Half my arm is yellow. Happened so fast i dont even remember my arm goin outta the confines of the cage. I need a sticker for the dash in big letters KEEP YOUR DICKBEATERS INSIDE!

is that a human hand?

[Dave Little]

I'm in for the 30th. Nice big moe in the background Jeff, I see you're all about it.

[aldochina]

be awsome to finaly see you out on the trails with us Dave! Dig the fireplace to Jeff! similar to mine, though yours is more rustic! Hands lookin a bit rough, hope it feels a ok in a few weeks! Stay off that damn death trap side by side!

[jeffatc250r]

Fireplace was rebuilt back in 2000 using all the orig bricks from late 1600's. everyone of em was hand made right up the road from where i am. Its 8' wide 8' deep and 9' tall. The bread oven to the left is operable as well. Everyone that comes here is impressed by it.

Time for some netting my friend on the sides

[aldochina]

that is impressive Jeff! I deffinately have to make it a point to crash at your place atleast once this winter if I get to snuggle up next to that!! Wish I had the height you have!! I had to cut the legs down a bit as it was just to get the little all nighter in there!!
Here's mine, no cool backstory or history, but it is well built lol!! I kept all the stuff incase anyone ever wanted to put it back original. it is a back to back set up, separate flues. The fire places have cool built in blowers that work off a heat sensor mounted in the fireplace, blowers in basement. pretty cool design. I have to refine my utilization of it, but the flex draped over works surprisingly well haha.

Gotta love the yellow!!

[Dave Little]

Alright, here's a pic of my all nighter...It's not currently in use so I keep it in my shop....uh....up on the shelf:lol:
This is one of the late production big moes that has the stainless tank that fits in around the pipe in back to heat domestic hot water with:cool:

Rory, they made a model called the giant moe that was not as deep as the big moe or as tall, but it was twice as wide...might even fit in where you've got your little moe.
Here's one that has the seldon-seen glass in the front door, most were ALL cast like the other models.

[aldochina]

how bout it guys? anyone else for the 30th?? Craig? Tanks? John? Gonna try to get my brother to come, but my hopes are not high, been inviting him since day one! I know your out Steve, been meaning to give you a call and see how things are healing up. Pisgah is the place where we parked by the river? A bit north west of hellhole? Either place is good for me, havnt been on a real ride in forever, so it will all be fresh to me!!

[roostin atc]

I'm in for the 30th for sure.

[roostin atc]

Anyone out there? Where are we going on the 30th pisgah or the hellhole? My vote is pisgah but its up to you guys. I'm game for wherever.

[jeffatc250r]

Pisgah also sounds good to me!
What kinda artillery we bringin? 2stroke pace or 4-pokin?
Drivin sped around with all its cargo room makes me kinda spoiled, i wish i could bring more crap on the R

[roostin atc]

I'm running my air cooled r. That's my plan.

[Super350]

Im in with the Sped! ....unless we put in right down in the sand area then i'll take the power thumper

[redsox]

i'll probably take the sx for a change.

[aldochina]

was thinking on taking the sx, but if we go to pisgah i may bring the 350. Either way I will be smiling!! What you guys want to do for lunch? we gonna take care of ourselves, or do a group lunch? 7 days out!!

[jeffatc250r]

Well i been pokin around out back with the bayou, wrist is still tender as hell..every bump in the front sends a shock up my arm.
Im still goin, i just hope its better in a week. Long story short, im not gonna be myself this ride and will be toning it down a bit.

[aldochina]

glad your still going! Probably not a bad thing, you toning it down, thats still probably faster than the novice rider ;)

[roostin atc]

How big is the trails system down there Mike?

I didn't really get a lot of time to explore yesterday, but in gonna say its similar to where we used to ride on plymouth. I will get some more seat time there in a couple weeks. my Polaris was being a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro yesterday so the day ended a bit early.

[fastatc70]

Good trails in the west warren area all the way to Palmer. Never had a problem with the EP or local patrol.

[fastatc70]

Jeff how are the trails around you. All I build are atc70s. I am looking for a atc70 from the 74 era. All I have are the newer ones. Big motors, no suspension and three wheels = fun.

[roostin atc]

The trails around me are not good for 70s. I have 7 at the moment and I don't bother even trying. It's too rough in NH for a hardtail.

[roostin atc]

II'd be interested in 70s on the ice. I'm building a stretched and widened one as we speak. With a 155 piranha

I go to nh mostly. I do have trails around me, but their very limited compared to nh. I have a streeted cr500 i ride from trail to trail with no worries of getting in trouble.
Ive been down warren, and palmer, up devils peak etc. was there several months ago with my rzr.

[fastatc70]

I know it's the Wrong place to say this but I trail ride a 400ex and a 250r quad. The larger three wheelers are too rich for my blood. Out in Palmer, warren often.

In you need any help with the atc70 I stretched one about a year ago. I made the spacer and welded. Can't even tell it was stretched.

[fastatc70]

Anyway back to the trails. Where in NH. Just trying to get the guys from around here to go on a good ride. Regs needed?

[aldochina]

have we decided where we are riding? are we meeting at that lot by the canal on 119, or Craigs?? shooting for 8:30. If i bring the sx I have the rack on. needs an oil change, and the head resealed. seeping out and burning off on the fins. Should be fine for another ride though. You guys getting all rain up there now Craig??

[Dave Little]

Looking forward to this ride guys, waiting on a set of heated grips w/thumb to come in, toss on a new set of shoes and I'm ready. It's raining up here now, not sure about Richmond area.

[aldochina]

[roostin atc]

So it sounds like everyone is fending for themselves for food tomorrow. I'll be there at 830 tomorrow. Can't wait its been a while. Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving. See you all tomorrow.

[jeffatc250r]

All systems go on my end. Joined the old man group and just finished installing heated grips. See you gals in the morn

[redsox]

minor last minute emergencies, but all is well now. KG200X (kevin) and I will be there in the morning. giddyup!!

[Dave Little]

No heated grips for me....Holiday F'd up the shipping schedule. Just gonna have to sh1tbum hardscrabble my way through this ride:(

[tanks350x]

You guys have a good time and be safe! Damn I gotta get back into the swing of things!

[Dirtcrasher]

I'm already on the Bowflex. New lathe is in place :D

I plan to be back scooting in January sometime. Gotta see the doc soon and see what he thinks. Huge improvements with the metal in there............

[aldochina]

at work now! you pricks all nestled in bed! Jeff just buttoned up your gaurd! See you in the am!

[IronBear]

You guys be safe. Hopefully I'll catch the next ride..

[tri-Z ripper]

Hope you guys stayed warm, took the Tri-Z out the other day with my boy.we froze our asses off in about 5 minutes. Today was nice and they are building in one of the fields across from me and we have befriended the operators over there so they allow me to ride gently around to have my son and I watch as they are dozing and excavating. Hope to make a winter 2 stroke ride. Tecate Dan your woman pop those kids out yet?

[jeffatc250r]

Gotta say, im in love with my heated grips!
Today went great aside from one mishap.....let us know how ya made out Dave!

[fabiodriven]

Once you have heated grips you'll never look back.

[aldochina]

Awsome time as usual! Post up a few pics soon. great day for a ride. hope alls well Dave, give us an update when you can! The pics I shot of the carcass came out better than i thought. You guys arnt gonna beleive the size of that buck!! Almost wish I wouda braved the treck across the frozen tundra for that rack!! Propably would have ended up like him though! Awsome sight! The brutality of nature! We'll set up another soon!

[Dave Little]

Just walked in the door now...I'm in pain, but alright....x-rays showed no broken hand, abdominal ultrasound looked good, but they did make it a priority to get a catscan shortly thereafter, which thankfully showed no internal bleeding, just a bruised kidney. Urine was yellow. having health insurance...priceless, wearing a helmet, even more so. Carnage pics later in the week, bike's gonna sit on the trailer for the better part of a week. Thanks to all the guys. I hadn't stopped moving yet and seemed like all the machines were there with engines stopped. Also thanks to Craig for breaking away from what he was doing to come out and give a lift back to the car and Dan for dealing with the wreckage....even the grate I brought got it's clock cleaned. Other than that, A pretty cool ride I must say.

Dave Little

[Dirtcrasher]

^ Yep, he has a baby girl!!

I went with Fabio to an estate sale and we both scored a TON of tools.

We both wondered how cold it would be in NH and glad we didn't go. I need anther 6 weeks anyhow........

[Super350]

Weather was Perfect. Great food, Great times, Great people. Dan and Kevin, it was a PLEASURE! ....and that steak sandwich was down right tasty. Glad to hear the "glass is half full" instead of empty on the injury report there Dave, your an animal! Godspeed on recovery

[aldochina]

Glad your essentially ok Dave other than some bruising and soreness, that was a nasty wipe, and could have been much worse!! Dont let it detract you from coming out again though! You were doing stellar up to that bad decision!!
Heres some pics from the ride!

heres a shot of the cast iron grate Dave was hauling on his back the whole time!! it exploded on impact, i really thought there was gonna be a shard sticking out of his back when we rushed over!! We did still cook on what was left of it!! Thanks Dave!! lol

[aldochina]

heres a shot to give you an idea of Daves trajectory! Appears that when he got to the top of the berm there was no path out, the large chunks of what looked like soft sand where frozen solid sending dave air born, you can see where his front tire landed, rears never hit the ground untill the bottom of the hill!!

Fabs, It was -4 going over the mountain in Vermont, 8 or 9 at the pisgah lot! Turned out nice though, low 20's! Only cold stretch was first heading in when your hauling ass and fresh!

[Super350]

SAY IT AINT SO!!!!! http://nh.craigslist.org/snd/4222269348.html

edit: oh wait...your N. Conway, few :beer

[Dave Little]

Anthony, that's not me....I'll be back at it. What have you got left for OEM forks?:D
I may call him...a longer swinger would be nice.

Nice pictures Rory...I didn't think that single tire track was me but I guess it was. I carried too much speed to make the hard right required to 'find the door' and knew it just before rounding the top. I knew the left rear was off the ground, but not both. I was on the right side of the bike and it seemed like a 2-wheeled easy-over. I was too slow to turn into it, I remember the front tire biting in hard at the bottom of the hill and thought that's what sent me over, but the machine at that point was standing on it's front tire, if not further up hill. So the machine went end-over, the grab bar and corner of the plastics catching the helmet. I remember the chin guard driving into the sand but throughout all of that rotation and eventual impact, my head was the most comfortable part of my body:w00t: I was only dimly aware of the force that was on that helmet. Grab bar was not bent beforehand.

As usual, the handlebar mounted gopro's battery died about 20 minutes prior to this so no video footage was captured.

[redsox]

Great day guys! i'm beat up. I gotta get into shape. Kevin and I had a blast. thanks for putting up with the temperamental x. thats on me, not on kevin. i'll get her fixed up. rory, those pics came out great! that buck was awesome. someone will claim that rack for sure. Anthony, it was good to meet you. thanks for all the bump starts. glad you're doing well, dave. you're a lucky guy. that was one hell of an impact. you didn't quite get the speed or style points that dirtcrasher had on his hiccup, but that machine came down and bit you pretty good. we did a post meal inspection of the crash, and the consensus was that you had only the front donut on the ground during your descent. i didn't think that initially, but the tracks don't lie. it was an aggressive move for sure. craig, you're a good man coming to the rescue. to bad you didnt make the ride. i think our record is like 1 for 6 on riding together when both of us show up. crazy. you're starting to give me a complex!! anyway, i'm getting my gear in order today. the 85 hates the slop so i gotta drain the diff and clean the breaks, etc. etc. i'll post pics soon.

[Dirtcrasher]

Dam weak arse stock SX fenders!!

Even the two braces below that the rubbers fall out of, are not enough. Sadly that toolbox is GREAT but destroys the structural integrity of the OEM rear fender.

Man, those animals were frozen in time, :lol: Diggin the eagle too!!

Glad you guys had a good ride otherwise and hope to come along soon!!

DC

[aldochina]

thats a great pic of Dave! He has now realized he may be screwed!! lol!

[aldochina]

looking at that pic I now see that the track in my pic is actually the right rear! the left rear is on that huge chunk of dirt, front is in the air. you can see where the front hits, and the left rear never touches back down.

[redsox]

its crazy when you zoom in. like i said before, it was an aggressive move!!181690

[jeffatc250r]

Super Dave!

[Dave Little]

Interesting analysis, that track is definitely right rear. I assumed that based on it's width that it was the front. Bike was layed over early then since that appears the case. Front touching down on it's side pushed it hard over, bending the fork and starting or rather cementing the rotation. Can't remember which way the handlebars turned last I was on the bike. The end of the left grip is destroyed and sand is packed in under the grip and bar about 1.5" in yet the left fork is almost straight- the right fork is bent back horribly. No new dents on the tank at the top corners so I can't tell from that, a new crack in the front fender right side at fork relief. I'd like to know what part of the bike landed on my hand and what got me in the gut. since my overalls are torn at the right abdomen I think the kidney shot was from the handlebars at dismount. Right grip is still intact and undamaged.

@Rory...at the moment that pic was taken I knew it was going to be difficult to ride out, but thought I'd be alright... I assumed what looked like soft sand chunks that would allow some knockdown but that left rear is loading up with serious rebound. It wasn't until the start of dismount about 2 feet later that I knew I was f\/cked. I never ride that far back, I'm usually right up on the tank. Even when I landed face in the dirt I remember thinking 'that wasn't THAT bad' then BAM!

Doing much better today, although I could use a clapper to turn the bedroom lights off when I want to sleep.

Another thought, I really don't care for that front tire...it makes the steering more responsive but has too much bite to it. I noticed a couple times before the crash that with a subtle increase in weight It'll want to make the wheel go hard over to full lock...not good. I'll probably go back to a 22x10-9 since that wheel now has about .060" out of true after the crash.

[TecateDan]

Looks like a great time!!!! (except for Dave Maybe) Sorry I missed it but this little girl decided to show up!!!

[redsox]

Dave, i agree with you on the front tire. i like it, but it really tests your arm strength. it always wants to dig in and pin. especially on the steep downhills. two or three times in the rocks i had to fight it back to keep from biting and locking. this was my second ride with the wheel/tire combo, and pisgah is easily has the most technical terrain out of all the places i take the machine. i'm wondering if the gains out weigh the drawbacks.

congrats DannyBoy. good work!!!!!!

[TecateDan]

are you guys running the skinny or the fat tires in the front?

[redsox]

23x7x10 up front pretty cool, but learning that it digs in.

[TecateDan]

Are you running the whole 200x front end or just the skinny tire? I don't know but would suspect the 200 has a diffrent rake to the front end? Stock SX is the way to go for where we ride boys. Or a big sped.....

[Dave Little]

Congrats Daniel-san, you'll be putting together a pink 70 before you know it.


Dave, i agree with you on the front tire. it always wants to dig in and pin...especially on the steep downhills. I'm wondering if the gains out weigh the drawbacks.


Looks good, you can rip wide sweeping roosts in a short distance but I sorely miss the forgiving nature of the fat 22"s at least on the technical riding. Just one more nasty habit to manage and be vigilant for. It has it's place which is flat & smooth. So suffice it to say were I/we ride I'm all set with that tire. I could switch over to a 200x front tire, less aggressive tread and see what that does for manners but I'd rather not play musical tires this close to being on tracks & ski. What pressure are you running in that front? I think I'm around 3-4psi.

[TecateDan]

Already have the 70 in the basement !!!!! I agree, skinny tire on smooth flat trails. In the hell hole the ballon front is part of the suspension. I also run 3.5 - 4 lbs

[aldochina]

Fat tire is nice for the bumbs, and steering input is forgiving, but they push alot in the snow, I bet those aggressive narrow fronts you guys run would track sweet! I like the sx stock, i will ride the x if I want skinny!

[Pitbilly]

Hi Guys...visited a friend in southern Maine and took a couple trikes....riding was actually very good with a number of small sandpits nearby to play in.....thought you might enjoy some pics

Hell of a rig that is.

[redsox]

where in southern maine? i've got a shack in old orchard. i've been wondering how the riding is up there.

[TecateDan]

make sure you call me after you go and let me know how it was since you never invite me to any of your rides!!!


where in southern maine? i've got a shack in old orchard. i've been wondering how the riding is up there.

[redsox]

you're a busy man these days amigo. you missed a helleva ride saturday. i'd be pumped to ride in so-maine. it'd give me a reason to use the house in the winter. i'm very interested in knowing where that is pitbilly. lemme know.

[TecateDan]

Just bought new Ice Tires, Rims and Kold Kutters so I will def be hitting the ice this winter!

[bigdaddyvw185]

Hey guys i am new to 3WW, Names Chris and i am from Seymour CT, any way i could join in with you guys one of these trips? i have have a 84 200s and a 05 yamaha kodiak 400, tho i am building a 300R but it wont be ready until spring...... anyways i
would love to join you guys on one of your trips as there is NO where legal to ride here in CT, i am registered up in MA with the 200 and the quad. by all means if your cool with having a new guy join in id be all for going!
thanks

[jeffatc250r]

Come along sometime!
200s will be a lil rough up in nh, but def doable.
Is your 300r a first or 2nd gen?

[Pitbilly]

Red Sox we were in Lyman Maine. It's near kennebunk. My buddy owns a turf farm up there. We road through a number of sled trails that connected several sandpits. Some locals mentioned a large pit in the town of Dayton. None of the land is public but my friend knows all the adjacent land owners so we were ok. Only other issue is everyone hunts up there so Saturday can be tough this time of year. Old orchard isn't far though from where we were. I was also told the town of Sanford has a lot of pits.

[bigdaddyvw185]

2nd gen, i came over from 3wheeler.org seeing that there site is in shambles. i just made a build thread for it in the
Trikesylvania section, feel free to check it out. i have put alota work into it and i am doing everything i can to get it done for
next season when the open the trails up in MA in May.
as for the rough trials up in NH if they are too much i can just bring the quad. tho the trike i think is a hell of alot more fun!
i am guessing that i would have to register up in NH to go along on one of these rides correct?
by chance you do any riding in MA? i see your a Masshole lol i got a bunch of family in swampscott. but anyways i went over to pittsfield before they closed it this year and had a great time but NH is certainly better, i rode up in NH years ago on my old quads with my father..... anyways thanks for giving me the ok to tag along one of these trips! and let me no if i need to
register.....id say more likely than not i will have to lol.

[aldochina]

Welcome chris! We love to have new riders join us! Most of us are registered in NH, as its worth it if your going to make a few trips a season. Not to expensive, and hassle free. We have never run into any rangers up there though. I ride in Pittsfeild alot! Lots of good trails there.

[redsox]

chris, i rode last year in webster MA and we connected onto a trail system that went into ct. it was pretty good riding. some parts were groomed snow. i've been wanting to get back but i was told that its used primarily in the summer for horseback trails. I also heard that part of it was paved and turned into rail-trail with no access. new hampshire is where its at for riding! plan to join us.

[Dave Little]

So who has my reverse button? Did you you guys pick up any bits of red plastic? I may take a drive and see if they are still around.

[jeffatc250r]

I had your button!
Ill check my bag and see if its still there, if it aint, it might be on one of the rocks by the fire pit

[Dave Little]

Cool, Thanks Jeff. I'll get down there when the snow melts a bit,...hopefully

[bigdaddyvw185]

i for sure would like to join in. as for riding here in CT i would not advise it, the law enforcement in these parts can be quite a hassle. well it looks like i will be registering up in NH this coming season. :D

What part of Webster MA. I rode a lot over there when I was a younger. I started in a pit and ran the old rail road bed. Found a abandend bridge the hard way and wasted a good 350x.

thanks for the info, if i remember correctly you dont need a bill of sale to register in NH correct? just need to have the frame vin, engine serial number and such. i looked it up a lil while back when i registered up in MA. they want like 75$ for the year registration up in NH if i remember right.

[Dave Little]

No need for engine #, just VIN will do. Not sure of the cost since I have a lifetime plate, but yeah no bill of sale req'd

[fabiodriven]

It is $75 and a bill of sale is required. If you don't have a bill of sale, you're up shite creek. They're nearly impossible to make while sitting in the parking lot of the store just before you go in to buy the registration.

[Dave Little]

Lol, John you just gotta give the ink time to dry, maybe rub it in the dirt.....Didn't you see Schindler's List?

[Dirtcrasher]

Roostin promised to hook me up after the few days of abuse he enjoyed on my original 350X :D

i for sure would like to join in. as for riding here in CT i would not advise it, the law enforcement in these parts can be quite a hassle. well it looks like i will be registering up in NH this coming season. :D


Believe me, I know. I was born and raised in New Haven. We used to ride on private trails up the street from where I grew up. It was 100% illegal. I heard it’s even worse now, that if the cops catch you, they could fine you up to 1K AND take your bike!!

This is one of the many reasons why I moved to New Hampshire. Been here for over 6 years and never looked back!

Anyway, I'm looking to take the Yamaha out on the trails, but life keeps getting in the way. I'm only looking for a short rip on the trails. Hopefully I'll get out there next weekend.

according to their website a bill of sale is not required, ether way i have one for all of my machine's so i will be alright
but here is a quote from the page i just posted.
"Do I need a title or bill of sale?
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is the state agency responsible for the registration of Off Highway Recreational Vehicles and snowmobiles. The state of New Hampshire does not title Off Highway Recreational Vehicles or snowmobiles nor does it maintain any records of title or liens on these types of vehicles. A title, bill of sale or previous registration is not required to register an Off Highway Recreational Vehicle or snowmobile."

I will bring a copy of the bill of sales i have anyways when the time comes just for the information aspect tho, it was a pain when i went to register in MA, they would not let me keep the original bill of sale of that i had gotten from the previous owner for my 200s, so i had to make a copy of it to keep for my files. while they got to take my original....think i got it back NOPE!. which i dont think is right...

No bill of sale required in nh, they just want your vin, make and model and of course there $74
In the 11yrs ive been going there thats all they want.
Mass on the other hand, they want a bill of sale so they can tax you on it to feed all the deadbeats you see hangin out on their porches at noon.

i live a stones throw away from new haven, 2 towns over in seymour.... New haven is NOT the place to be riding by anymeans lol. every summer you here horror stories of people riding threw the streets and a big police takedown of the entire group.just this past summer there was a huge sting operation called "fast and furious" yes...it was actually called that.. lol... and they netted quite a few guys on atv's and dirtbikes and impounded / arrested the whole group of guys. these guys were riding up to police cars, egging them on, one article i read even said that a guy on a quad was doing donuts around the cop car to try and get him the cop to chase him..... New haven is rough. tho riding up to a cop in downtown newhaven is in NO way! going to work out for ya

i would love to get out of CT, i grew up in stratford which is right next to bridgeport. seymour is just north of both and it is a hell of alot better than stratford but CT in general is still no fun at all.

[fabiodriven]

I guess I stand corrected about the bill of sale. Every time I've registered up there since '08 I bring a bill of sale in with me, I thought it was a requirement.

[bigdaddyvw185]

:beer
all is good, having the bill of sale with ya is the safe way to do it anyways better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

[aldochina]

when we riding again?? jan 4th?? anyone down?

[fabiodriven]

I'd like to get one in soon but my life is pretty well fawked up right now. It's tough for me to nail anything down. It will depend on a couple of things. Honestly I can't even afford to register my trike right now but I'm hoping to change that.

[fabiodriven]

I can't take credit for this, but it made me laugh my ass off yesterday which was quite a feat.

Lol, i was gonna throw craig in there too but couldnt find a pic of him so i put my mutt in there instead haha

[TecateDan]

I must have watched that at least 20 times since you sent it to me Jeff... Hilarious

[IronBear]

Even though a Bill of Sale isn't required in NH, I would bring one along anyway that lists the year, make, model and VIN, because you never know. I'd rather have more paperwork, than less. Good luck!

Dirtcrashers last ride... Video

[Dirtcrasher]

I can't get any of it Danielson!?

I still have footage from NY from all of us; And you in the drink smiling, awesome!!

On my last ride for 2013, I will be back. Parts are already sent out and being worked on :D

[fabiodriven]

The fawk you hoarding videos for Steve?! Let's fricken see some action!

[Dave Little]

I was at the crash scene at the break of day today, culling through the snow before the storm rolls in with a shovel looking for bits of red plastic, got 2. Looking at the slope, it is a lot steeper than I remember thinking, just climbing up to the top of my path, there is barely room to stand , let alone get a machine through. Here is the view looking down from atop the edge. It's been a looong time since I've done anything that friggen stupid. Unbelievable. I was there about 30 minutes, cold as hell. I found the grate wreckage by the fire and took it home. It will ride again, hopefully. Steve, how ya been doing?

[jeffatc250r]

No reverse button? I looked in my pack it aint there. I remember i had it in my hand at one point, and i thought it was on one of the bricks at the fire when we were cookin

[Dave Little]

No worries Jeff, I really went there more for the plastic bits and to see the slope. I got another handle anyways in my stash
