New England Ride??

[brrcuda]

Anyone want to get together and rip up some trails? Keep this thread going for future rides...........

.MA or NH??

Chime in.......

[fabiodriven]

I'll see what I can do.

[tanks350x]

I may be game!! The X needs to get it's legs stretched out!! :naughty:

[TecateDan]

When are you guys thinking about going? My tecate is taking a nap in Fabiodriven's garage for the summer (it's boating season for me) but It's dam close to time to take it for a good rip.

[tri-Z ripper]

i'm almost ready to go, just picked up a new motor for the Z and boy she is pretty

[ccantler]

ill see if i can come
85 350x

[ccantler]

dose anyone one her know if the 250x swaing arm will work on a 350x

[fabiodriven]

dose anyone one her know if the 250x swaing arm will work on a 350x

Absolutely no way in hell that will work. You're more than welcome join us, but please post your question in the proper forum.

[sledcrazyinCT]

Registration gonna be required or are they private trails?

[tanks350x]

Prob. gonna need a reg.. Although we never see the greenies when we go for a rip....

[fabiodriven]

It depends on where we go.

[tri-Z ripper]

well i should be good with some notice! Time is tight with the wee little one around but i can make it if i plan ahead

[brrcuda]

i know deepa wants to go as well.

I wouldnt mind hitting Pisgah state park. smooth trails but they are patrolled. at least on holiday weekends they are.

We could hit monadnock trails - i dont think stickers are needed so much there. Close to MA border

either weekend before Labor Day or weekend after?? If we do LD weekend most state trails will have patrols...

Just throwing out suggestions.

[tanks350x]

I'm game for anyplace... Been a long time since I've see alot of you guys...

[tanks350x]

I went to N.H. and got the X registered today!! Lets do this!!!

[sledcrazyinCT]

I went to N.H. and got the X registered today!! Lets do this!!!


what do they charge for out of state? what is needed for paperwork before they approve your registration?

thanks as I am from CT and never registered out of state

[fabiodriven]

Just a bill of sale is needed. I think it's $74?

[tanks350x]

I went to Naults Windham Honda, I gave him my vin # and I was good to go.. didn't even need a bill of sale or anything... Fabio is correct $74

[tri-Z ripper]

Have we decided on a date yet?

[Big Mike]

I might be down for something. I have not been riding in a long while. The X is doing pretty well, just gotta change fork oil and it should be good to go. Let me know a date, and I will see if I have the $$ flow to do it.

[brrcuda]

Ok then.

Deepa says he can go on a saturday. So to work around that. I would say 3rd or 10th of Sept. Should give time for everyone to wrench up, Including me.

The pisgah state trails are nice smooth runs with nice view/hangout up at the lake, but not too many miles. Might be a good first ride/reunion. Im out of shape from not riding, so thats my suggestions.

Pisgah State Forest - hinsdale NH. look it up for distance. On NH/MA border.

If we go on labor day WE - i can almost guarantee local cops will be on state trails with quads. So make sure u got tags. They were last year...

chime in for the date guys.

cant wait to ride again.

[tanks350x]

Pisgah sounds good to me Paul!! I'm in!

[tri-Z ripper]

No pisgah for me, if we are that far south. We should just go to Hinsdale, NH. Pisgah is all family, like highway trails.
Ridden there many times. Always crowded and to flat. I can ask Dads if he'll let is park at his place. Their is a little track and a whole bunch of sweet trails near him.

[fabiodriven]

I don't care where we go. I'd just like to know the condition of the trails so I know which machine to bring.

[tri-Z ripper]

I just know 100% holiday weekend pisgah will be crowded and have the men in green out in full effect. Hinsdale is half private and part public. You can get to pisgah from Hinsdale but requires experienced riders. They are marked trails but not for rookies. I don't dislike pisgah it's just like riding down walkway trails. Either way I'll be riding in southern NH next weekend the 28th if anyone is interested.

[fabiodriven]

From the sounds of it, I personally wouldn't mind a ride at this Pisgah place. If they're easy trails then they'll be good for my R. Not to mention I like going to places where there are a lot of people sometimes. And I kind of like the idea of a big group of nice trikes amongst a crowd of square-riders. I like the look on their faces when they see us.

To each their own though. I'll go wherever.

[Afrothunderkat]

you buys should come ride richmond and troy

theres sandpits all around too

[tanks350x]

I like that also John, It's always cool to see their suprised looks
I think I might have to fab up some new leaf shackles for the trailer...

[aldochina]

i would make the drive!! only a few hrs to southern nh for me. i dont like the sounds of highway trails though! im with tri z ripper!! if im gonna ride, i want to ride!! i like challenging terrain that will give me a work out!! if i sent someone my vin# and 74$ could they get a tag for me?? labor day is out for me though. camping with the family. any weekend after i am game! if i get the tag i would deff want to use it a few times!! coming up on the best season to ride!! i'm dying to get out!!

[fabiodriven]

You're more than welcome to crash here Rory. I have a couch or if you wanted you could stay in the camper.

[aldochina]

really appreciate the offer fabio!! we will see what comes of this, never no i just might take you up on it sometime!! gracious man!

[fabiodriven]

really appreciate the offer fabio!! we will see what comes of this, never no i just might take you up on it sometime!!

Please do, that's why I offered. Keep your eyes on this thread, the time is coming up soon. I live alone, no old lady, no kids, etc. Don't have to worry about any bitching or meeting weird relatives.

[brrcuda]

guys im back on travel this week so wont be checking in much. Figure out where you want to go and the date, and ill be there.

[fabiodriven]

They call that a "lateral" I believe. Somebody grab the ball!

[TecateDan]

I'm out for Labor Day weekend and the 17th of sept but any other sept date should work for me...

[TecateDan]

Sept 10th or the 11th is my vote... Any Takers???

[fabiodriven]

OK, TecateDan and I are saying September 10th and I'm fine with hitting Pismah or whatever. How's that sounding ladies?

[TecateDan]

Actually the 11 th is better than the 10th fabio

[fabiodriven]

Jesus buckin frist.... If you read what Paul (Brrcuda) said earlier in the thread (I know you read previous posts Dan), he said that Saturdays are better for Deepa.

Hows about this- I go riding when and where I want and y'all can come or go pound sand.

[DeePa]

Labor Day is going to be too crowded...Id say go for the 10th.

Let Paul plan this one out...he knows what to do...the rest of this place minus raffas adventures wishes they could put together rides like this...

Mike

[fabiodriven]

Yeah, I think we're all in agreement about no Labor Day.

Paul passed the buck Deepa. Pay attention.

[TecateDan]

I was just saying for me the 11th is better Fabio. Sorry that it ground your gears kid. Can we just set up a roll call of who's in for what day and get this thing buttoned up?
I'm in for either the 10th or 11th but prefer the 11th (sorry Paul)

[fabiodriven]

10th or 11th should work for me. Let's see what these clowns come up with.

[aldochina]

i could swing the 10th or 11th, just gotta figure out the nh registration deal!

[sledcrazyinCT]

jesus buckin frist.... Hows about this- i go riding when and where i want and y'all can come or go pound sand.

sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fabiodriven]

i could swing the 10th or 11th, just gotta figure out the nh registration deal!

I'm more than likely going to get mine the day of the ride. You can just walk in a bike shop and grab em usually. You may be able to do it over the net, but I don't know that for sure.

[aldochina]

as long as there is a place on the way, or close to where we ride that shouldnt be an issue then!!

[Dave Little]

I'm more than likely going to get mine the day of the ride. You can just walk in a bike shop and grab em usually. You may be able to do it over the net, but I don't know that for sure.

I'll stop into the shop where I got my last regular registration and ask about doing reg's on behalf of out-of-staters and will post here Thursday with the answers.
Yes, if you do not need be present, I can handle regs for people that need them and mail them back. NH reg's require a driver's license number in addition to VIN. Better to have this stuff worked out in advance, more time to ride.

Reason I say regular registration, is because now I've got an antique OHRV aluminum plate on my machine. Good deal: over 25 years old, cost $50.50 and good for life- never expires. :naughty:Had to go to Concord and get it directly from Fish & Game. HOWEVER, not sure if out-of staters can get this or just residents. I'll check into this as well and report back.

I'm on the NH/MA border and only 54 miles from Pisgah State Park, I'd like to join you guys, see if my buddy wants to tag along with his SX as well. I can do the 10th or 11th doesn't matter to me.

[tanks350x]

:w00t:I'm in, wherever, and whenever we go. any date is good for me..got my registration already..:w00t:
gonna do some trailer repairs this weekend

[Dave Little]

D'oh... conditions for antique machines are on the back of the registration. NH residents ONLY

[fabiodriven]

D'oh... conditions for antique machines are on the back of the registration. NH residents ONLY

Yup, you're more than welcome Dave. Thanks for all the info and help, but I've never had an issue just rolling up and grabbing a reg. It only takes a few minutes.

That sucks that they won't do the antique plated for us out-of-staters. I would have loved to grab one of those!

[DeePa]

whats the plan bitches????

[fabiodriven]

The 10th is fine with me. Pisgah is also fine with me.

[Dave Little]

Yup, you're more than welcome Dave. Thanks for all the info and help, but I've never had an issue just rolling up and grabbing a reg. It only takes a few minutes.

That sucks that they won't do the antique plated for us out-of-staters. I would have loved to grab one of those!

No eqivalent in MA?

I just checked in at Souhegan Valley Motorsports and they said you MUST appear in person to register a machine to present a drivers license and sign both copies of the reg.

[TecateDan]

I know Fabio is going to yell at me but i looked at the thread and didn't see what's the problem with Going on Sunday the 11th. I got's me some stuff I'd like a do on Saturday.
Pisgah sounds like fun it's got my vote

[DeePa]

i work on sundays from 7-330 so most rides are planned on saturdays.

[aldochina]

ya better get your trikes up on stilts fabio!! your awful close to the coast!! you too Deepa!! if its all they say it could be you guys may be in for some nasty stuff!! I'm 200 miles inland, and its getting me overtime all weekend. Baby sitting metlifes data center!! you guys can haggle on date and location, i just want to ride. Whichever day can bring together the most riders would be best!! I'd rather put off some "to do's" so others can partake!!

[fabiodriven]

Don't worry about us Rory, this ain't shnit. They always get us all skurred like we better baton down the hatches and then nothing comes of it. I went boating to the Vineyard in the hurricane we had last year, no bull.

[fabiodriven]

Ha! TecateDan just reminded me that it was his boat I was on last hurricane! It's an 86 Chaparrel, 24ft I think? We were determined to make it to Edgar Town (on Martha's Vineyard) on Labor Day, hurricane or no hurricane. I took my chainsaw in the truck with us just in case. We slept in the boat on the trailer Friday night through the hurricane and then steamed through steady 8 footers the next morning all the way to the Vineyard. We got pounded on the way there. The only way we were able to make it was by staying in Dan's father's wake. Dan's father obviously has a bigger boat (which is what Quint needed). We got tossed on the way there and nobody else was at the Vineyard. I'm fairly certain we were the only two boats that went over that day. Stayed there Saturday night on the boat and steamed back Sunday morning, only to hit steady 6-8 footers with some rogue 10's. No escort for the steam back either, we were on our own. We almost didn't make it back to the trailer.

Here's the boat (from a different day)

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r275/fabiodriven/6232010020.jpg

Here's a pic from Dan's dad's boat of us behind them the day after the hurricane. Dan was like the Gorton's fisherman sawing at the wheel and running the throttle.

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r275/fabiodriven/summer2010169.jpg

We do have a fresh hurricane coming.....

Oh and to keep on subject, let's ride soon.

[aldochina]

there is a place called robust valley rentals 12 miles south of this pisgah place! they do atv registrations!

[fabiodriven]

I've rolled up that way many times with little or no game plan on getting a sticker and have yet to come up empty handed.

[sblt500r]

i'd like to go, but not sure if i'd be able to..

[fabiodriven]

Do it to it Shawn! Git 'er dun!

[fabiodriven]

As far as I know that's correct. You planning on staying here? You can stay Friday and Saturday if you want.

[aldochina]

well if we ride in southern nh, it will be about an equal drive back to your place as home correct?? 2+ hrs?? I will prob just head back home unless you want to ride sunday too. i gotta work 7pm fri till 7am sat. so i would just head out from work in the am. try to skate out a bit early. what time you guys thinking on meeting up??

[TecateDan]

[Dave Little]

Ya, I'll be onboard for the ride as well I'll bring Rol with:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYpvgsNn4sk

Looks like most of the projected storm tracks go right over Pisgah. I guess I'll bring my trail chainsaw.

[fabiodriven]

Good deal Rory. I didn't realize you were that close to us.

[jeffatc250r]

:shiftyeyes:

[TecateDan]

Hell YA.... Lets git it on

[fabiodriven]

Buckin right. You're in Jeff...

Regan and I are llllloaded right now talking about Trikefest. We're going to have his S ready to roll for this ride.

[jeffatc250r]

Ya i wasnt sure if i was gonna be able to go, had other plans but kinda glad those fell through. Ill be there and so will be my buddy Ryan. So reservations for two R's please, oooooh yaaaaa

[aldochina]

cool mang!! list is growing nicely!! Cant wait to see that cherry 200s on the trail!! ya fab, i'm pretty much on the ny mass border, so pisgah is pretty much the closest point in NH to me!!

[fabiodriven]

I'm fairly certain Paul is in. I just didn't want to put his name up until he said for sure.

[tri-Z ripper]

i May meet you guys in morning to say HI my good friend lives right down the road. You will be overcrowded there for sure and so you all know in Pisggah is a ranger station and they do radar on the trails speed limit is 15MPH and 25MPH on the rest. Wide open enough for pickup trucks to come down so watch for greenies. as well as a lot of little kids following their parents utility quads. Hinsdale NH is only 15 minutes away from pissggah and more private trails. if anyone is interested in meeting me for a ride there let me know 860 990 9437

[Big Mike]

Well looks like it is shaping up to be a hell of a group for riding. I wish I could go, but being unemployed and having my boss owe me 2.5 months of pay is really cramping my style. If things dont change up soon, I might have to start selling stuff to make bills :( Have a blast guys, I am sure you will all have fun.

[fabiodriven]

Sucks to hear Mike. Maybe next time.

[aldochina]

hopefully its not as lame as tri-z ripper makes it out to be!!

[fabiodriven]

I've never been to this place Rory, so I have no idea. We've done plenty of rides at all different places, all different skill levels and terrains. I personally don't care if this place is flat and easy. I've been dying to get my R out on a local ride and most of the places we usually go are not the terrain for that bike. I'll just be glad to see all the boys together again. It's been too long since we've gotten a group of this size together.

[brrcuda]

Start at pisgah. get a feel for the trails and patrols if any, if any issues we head to the other trails. Or just plan to hit two spots.

thanks for taking baton fabio.

[DeePa]

i need axle bearings and rear brakes....

wouldnt be a typical NE ride if someone's bike was not in tip top shape...metal stops just as fast at the pad material...cuda knows...

[aldochina]

ya, i need fork seals bad, hope to get to it next week!

[DeePa]

why does 20 dollars in brakes and 40 dollars in a set of rear bearings always turn into 300 +????

130865130866

[tri-Z ripper]

Because we are obsessed. Mr never answer a text! Wait till you see the ol Z you won't even know it was yours.

[fabiodriven]

I am posting this for no other reason than to say I'm really looking forward to this ride.

[DeePa]

i never answer trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro

[jeffatc250r]

Little kids, speed limits, and enviro pigs are NOT my idea of a good time. Thats a recipe for me or any of the rest of us to leave in cuffs. I think we need to go elsewhere, what about fish hatchery rd??? Sorry guys, not trying to cause waves, but most of us drive like a-holes and like to party, pisgah sounds like that is not welcomed behavior.

[TecateDan]

I second this Idea... If it sucks at pisgah or if one of us gets arrested then we'll just move on to spot number two


Start at pisgah. get a feel for the trails and patrols if any, if any issues we head to the other trails. Or just plan to hit two spots.

thanks for taking baton fabio.

[fabiodriven]

I'm all for transferring if we have to. I don't mind stopping at Pisgah and going somewhere else if need be.

[jeffatc250r]

Well i dont really mind either, but if its anything like its said to be i say why bother. Also transfering somewhere else can tie up quite a bit of time. I like to put in a good shift of solid ride time if im making a special trip up there, i say go to a place thats known to not have pigs, speed limits or anything else that hinders a good time. Just my .02c

[fabiodriven]

At ease boys... At ease....

Paul set up this ride and it was his suggestion to go to Pisgah. I've never been there but I like the idea. Like I already said, it sounds like a good smooth place to bring my R and I kind of want to show the square riders that we still exist and are not in fact illegal or extinct. Not only do we exist, but we have some really nice machines. It ain't gonna kill ya'll to behave for a little while. Let's see what this place is about and if it's not for us we leave. If some guys don't like it then they'll know not to go there next time. It's a place to ride ATV's and we're all going to be legit. How bad could it really be? Let's see how it goes and take it from there.

Just don't let TecateDan talk to any cops. Kid's about as straight a shooter as they come but he falls apart when talking to cops. Even if there wasn't anything illegal going on or anything to hide they'd think he's up to something. Paranoid bozo he is.

[brrcuda]

no worries guys. Ill go anywhere. I just threw out the suggestion. I like smooth trails........

Didnt think more than 3 would respond. lol.

Can someone contact dads if we go there?? We would be rolling up in about 10 trucks to park in his woods.....

[aldochina]

ya, i would like to atleast check it out. it is a legal place to ride, and closest in NH for me. plus i do have kids, and would like to see it to know wether it may be a good place to bring them in the future. That being said, i already stated my opinion on wanting to RIDE!! I have know probs throwing the 350 back in the truck and bouncing elsewhere if it sucks!!! It will be cool to see the looks on some square's faces when 15 trikes roll bye!!

[jeffatc250r]

Ok, well in that case, i guess ill have to actually be legal and get a sticker.

[fabiodriven]

If all goes according to plan I will have my camper there. I'll have my grill, and the oven and stove both work perfect. The shower and hot water all work. It really only sleeps 2 comfortably, but we can use it as a hangout anyways. I just bought some steak tips and tossed 'em in the marinade. I'll grab some beans and shite as well. I'm not sure if it's enough steak* to feed all of you blubber-grubs, but we'll eat it 'til it's gone. If any of you arse-clowns wanna bring something to toss on the grill feel free. (you know the grill) It's a small, modest grill, but it does the job. Not only that, but it's been to Trikefest. That's more than most of you bozos can say for yourselves. Ha!

The terlett works too so we can make doo-doo in peace.





*Steak offer is only valid for riders of three-wheeled ATV's

[jeffatc250r]

Sorry boys, just talked to the 2 other ppl i was goin with and were out, like a boner in sweatpants.
None of us are stickered and we arent spending close to 250$ in stickers to ride for a day.
If things get lame over there, maybe we will see you over in richmond, were goin there instead since we never see any john-law over there.

[fabiodriven]

Hey, here's a question- What is a good address to put in my GPS to get there? And does anybody have any suggestions about where to get reggies that morning? I'm gonna do some investigating as to what is in the area right now, but suggestions are welcome.

[DeePa]

eeeeesh gonna be pushing the time limit on getting this trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro ready....

anyone need some tri-z parts?

I got a bunch of random stuff that I am sick of banging my head against. Whole rear end, misc stupid trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro, make offers...

lowball me and F OFF

[Dave Little]

anybody have any suggestions about where to get reggies that morning?

Depends, which route do you follow to get up here?

[aldochina]

Hey, here's a question- What is a good address to put in my GPS to get there? And does anybody have any suggestions about where to get reggies that morning? I'm gonna do some investigating as to what is in the area right now, but suggestions are welcome.

robust valley rentals is close by. i called, they do registrations!

[fabiodriven]

Depends, which route do you follow to get up here?

Looks like Rt 2 to Rt 78, but that's gonna change if we hit Robust Valley Rentals.

That place looks good Rory. I'm gonna call them and make sure they won't let us down that morning. I'd hate to show up after a 2.5 hour drive only to hear that "Jim-Bob who does the stickers won't be in today because he got kicked in the nuts by a horse last night" or something like that.


I really am surprised by the amount of views this thread is getting. Do other people just read these for fun? The only time I look at the local riding section is for a ride we have coming up. Maybe I'll take a peek at some other people's pics sometimes, but we don't even have any up yet.

[fabiodriven]

None of us are stickered and we arent spending close to 250$ in stickers to ride for a day.


Just to clarify for the people who may be reading this thread and do not know, it's not $250 a day for stickers. It's $74 for out of stater's and the sticker is good until June. If you get the sticker in June, it's good for a year. If you get it now, it expires in June. It's even less money for NH residents.

[tri-Z ripper]

Deepa hit me up I need some parts!

And they prob won't be open first thing in am either. so make sure your hours are correct. John I know it's In Winchester

[fabiodriven]

Just called 'em. They open at 8 on Saturdays and there will be somebody there ready to do our reg's. I'm figuring on being there right when they open the doors. If anybody wants to meet there that's fine with me.

[tanks350x]

I'm going to need GPS info. as well..

[brrcuda]

pisgah state forest is closed due to storm damage. just saw it on nhstateparks.org website. That usually means gates are closed from access.

Looks like plan B guys!

[aldochina]

was wondering about that!! sucks!! well you guys figure out where, and i will be there!!

[tanks350x]

You never know, we might run into that wherever we go.. Just a random thought...Weak ass N.H trees :lol:

[Dave Little]

You never know, we might run into that wherever we go.. Just a random thought...Weak ass N.H trees :lol:

Probability of that is high....this could turn into involuntary trail maintenance. I'll cut a few trees here and there as needed, but really don't want to be a logger the whole day.
Since there is going to be quite a few of us, if you got saws....bring 'em. 5+ guys with saws can make quick work of things.

Of course I could be wrong, which I'd like to be.

[fabiodriven]

I'll bring my saw.

[tanks350x]

I dont own a saw, I'll help pull em off the trails. I'll stop and get a nice tow rope...

[fabiodriven]

Soooo.... What's plan B?

[brrcuda]

Fishery hatch road - richmond NH. monadnock trails.

Anybody intouch with DADS??

[tanks350x]

Sounds like a plan to me fellas!!!

[jeffatc250r]

Im willing to bet Al had the trails all cleaned up by the end of the next day. Gonna go out on a limb and say no chainsaw will be needed.
I can almost hear fabs 250r crying after it bounces off some NH granite :lol:

[tanks350x]

^^^^^^He probably won't even bring it there :lol:^^^^^

[tri-Z ripper]

Im in touch with dads and his brother Kevin. I'll see if it's ok to park there for ya.

Sent Al and Kevin a message about you folks parking up there. I'll let ya know as soon as i hear anything! I can slap a Z back together for this ride if AL lets us park there.

[aldochina]

whats the word fellas?? i pulled the forks off today, gonna put some new oil and dust seals in. Hope this is still gonna go off!!

[fabiodriven]

I'm still in and I will be bringing Dirtcrasher, my buddy Rego, and TecateDan. I know Deepa got all skurred and backed out. No surprise there. I'm not going to be able to bring my camper now but I should still be able to bring the grill. Deepa was DC's ride and now I'm picking DC up so I won't have room to bring the camper.

I don't know if this place requires reggies or not but myself and DC will be getting reg's for sure on our way there.

[tanks350x]

^^^ Hey John, I might be able to bring that grill on my trailer, if you don't have room...Just throwing it out there bud!^^^

[jeffatc250r]

Ive never seen porkchops up there, thats why i always go there. Im flying stickerless.
What time this fiasco starting? Wanna meet for say 9am? If not what are you guys thinkin?
Ill also have my trusty mini grill for crispin up random critters that i always bring.
Bring tire plugs, lots of fun rock up there! I have a bicycle hand pump i bring in my sachel as well.

[brrcuda]

ill be there. R is ready for a rip.

probably dont need stickers here, but its trailprotrailpro choice. Id risk it if i was out of stater and not coming back to ride state trails.

these are power line trails with some rocks. I still dont have a skid plate.....

Tanks - you still interested in mint headlight shell??? let me know.

[Dirtcrasher]

Well, all I have to do is mount my new seat cover and foam (thanks Mosh's) and slap some stickers on. This will be it's 1st ride out from my backyard, hope I tightened it all up :lol:

Cuda, I am still blasting the rest of your 200X top end a bit at a time. It's hard to get in the deep spots of the fins.

I have to go, I'm ready to snap..........

[aldochina]

sounds sweet!! anyone have an address that i could google to get me close to where we will meet. 9 ish sounds good to me!! i will be leaving right from work, gotta get a ballpark travel estimate so i know how early i got to blow out!! i will bring some food to share also. forks will be going back together tonight! and i am ready!! i may skip the reg if you guys think the chances of seeing po are slim! cover my gas costs:naughty:

[fabiodriven]

Well, my buddy Rego is out.

I just want to say right now when I say I'm going to do something, I do it. If I don't know if I can do something, I say maybe. When I find out if and when I can come through on something, then I give a definitive answer.

What I do not do is say I'm going to do something and then not do it. Call me crazy, but that's just how I operate. If I see you bozos this weekend, that's just fantabulous. If not, go trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro yourselves.

[TecateDan]

2 more days of work :cry: then it's time to ride :w00t:

[Dirtcrasher]

Paul, anyone cleared this with DADS yet??

[brrcuda]

triz-ripper was checking with dads. there is parking in the woods by the power lines for public. Shouldnt be an issue.

best i got for directions.. no street ##

Little Monadnock Family Trails (Richmond/Troy/Swanzey)
Trails: OPEN
Miles: 80
Parking: Richmond: From Route 32 in Richmond, turn onto Fish Hatchery Road; 100 feet before powerlines, turn left into dirt drive, then right into parking area. Two place trailers only. Do not block driveway.
Maintained by: Little Monadnock Family Trails

[tanks350x]

Gonna be a nice muddy ride for sure

[jeffatc250r]

All i gotta say is you fockers better eat your wheeties! Been itchin for a hard fast long ride on the trike.

[aldochina]

i was checking the sattelite view on google maps, looks like where your talking would be approx. 110 fishery hatch road winchester nh. looks like its gonna be a blast!! about 2 hrs 30 mins for me. should be able to get there by 9-9:30 if thats cool. dont leave without me !! if this is not the area your talking let me know!! cant wait to get out there and clear my mind of all but roaring motors dirt, rock, and trees!!

[jeffatc250r]

The road is fish hatchery road, richmond nh, better recalculate

110 fish hatchery... hmmm

i live at 71, so those would be the trails me and my buddies ride. mind if we tag along?

[jeffatc250r]

Im sure thats not a problem. Were parking right next to the powerlines next to the Pratts driveway

I told you you're not welcome.

This kid likes to shoot his mouth off and ride with no brakes. I personally don't want him slamming into my machine. I say pound sand.

[aldochina]

winchester is just north of the power lines, richmond is south. not to farr apart. you can clearly see the powerlines in the sattelite imagery. if you google 110 fish hatchery rd it is right next to the powerlines. looks to be where you would park, but what do i know!! i'll figure it out!!

[aldochina]

ya, checked again, it is a bit confusing. if you put in winchester nh. it puts you well west of fish hatchery rd. but if you punch in 110 fish hatchery rd it puts you just north of richmond right by the powerlines, but the address says winchester. not sure how the town lines actually run! maybe google just has no idea what they are talking about. thanks for that link fab! you absolutely do not ride in groups with shoddy brakes!!

richmond & winchester share the same zip code, thats why when you google a richmond address it will come up in winchester.

you for real bro? come into my town, on the trails me and my buddies ride AND maintain, and tell me im not welcome? right.

umad?

[fabiodriven]

That's it. Keep being rude and disrespectful.

Just off the top of my head, there will be at least 4 really nice machines that guys took time to build from the ground up. If one of them gets hit because you don't want to spend the $18 to change your brake shoes it's not gonna be pretty.

[tri-Z ripper]

Guys, Al- Dads says the parking lot is open and his yard is open if the lot is full. P.s it is a dead end road so it is right on the powerlines is where the parking is!

I'm still waiting on throttle cable, i most likely won't make it. IF anyone is disrespectful then make sure its noted! Its in winchester next to ashwelot. there is a new track at the top of the hill by Dads. the guy asks you sign a waiver before using it. so just a heads up if he's not there I would stay off it. It is all hand maintained and a nice little track! I'll see if i can make it but you guys will have fun no matter what!

[fabiodriven]

I am dead-set on bringing my R despite the fact that rocks and mud are its mortal enemy, but I don't want to hold anybody back from any riding whatsoever. If it gets water-logged or anything gay like that I'll be OK. We ain't gonna change course or stop the ride because of me. I know the risk going in and I'll accept the outcome. It's only gotten water logged on me once before and it was my fault. I blew right through a puddle that I knew I shouldn't have, so I'll just have to be careful.

[aldochina]

another 48 hrs!!

[jeffatc250r]

John, are you already making excuses why you wont be able to keep up?? :lol:
Just follow the sweet stank of beanoil and youll find me!
As far as someone in the pack with no brakes, ehh i could care less, im not gonna tell another man how to run their life. But if i get hit because of it, ill be pissed, and a pissed jeff can be a scary sight. So aim for a tree if faced with that scenerio.
Those with pingers, never a bad idea to throw a few gatorade bottles of fuel in you pack just in case, ive made it back on fumes before, lotsa trails to explore. Thats where a 350x really shines, ride 8 hrs and still have half a tank.

[TecateDan]

IMO and from past experiances of riding with out brakes when I was a kid and knew any better "No Brakes = Disaster waiting to happen" and I agree with Jeff if someone hits me because there machine isin't up to snuff I'm gonna flip out. I dropped thousands into my machine to get it just the way I want it and I'd like to keep it that way.

aldochina - watch which routes you take. I91 in MA and route 9 in VT were closed this last weekend from storm.

I had to take (from NH) 91s to rt2w to 112 to 9/20 to pittsfield to get to schenectady. Took me 5 hours to get there for a cutomer meeting due to detours.....

[aldochina]

^^thanks for the heads up!! i was thinking that might be an issue! i will have to look into that. i really hope it doesnt turn into a 5 hr ride!! all this recent rain sure doesnt help the cause!

i road for almost 6 hours yesterday, it was real real wet. any rivers to cross are fast moving, any puddles are deep. not that muddy but standing water everywhere. also, a mass jeep club came recently and tore all the trails up pretty bad, you will notice the destruction.


anyone worried about parking, park at the bottom of the powerlines but do not park under the lines. the pratts made the lot large enough, the area the pratts made for al isnt needed. please do not go on the track unless some one is there. look for signs and stay on the trail till you get back on the lines.

thanks and have fun!

[TecateDan]

Let's get it on

[fabiodriven]

Real quick guys, where's a good spot to stop for reggies on the way to this place?

[TecateDan]

Depot general store
4 east lake rd fitzwilliam NH 03447
I called and talked to someone in the Deli department. She told me that Jen will be there at 7 when the store opens. Asked If she could transfer me so I could confirm and her answer was "confirm what" I just told you they will be here. Someone should call and confirm, How many do we need??

[Dave Little]

Guys, I'm not going to be able to join you for this ride. I broke my wrist two months ago and it's just not ready to go. Just got my cast off and pins taken out on the 18th of last month. I thought it would be ready, but I'd rather not chance re-injuy.
I can't have a new break delay my return to work, It'$ been long enough. That, and my machine isn't 100% ready nor am I going to rush it. Transporting it is
another issue I was working on having solved by this time. Reading the posts, I get the sense that most of you are very experienced riders. I am not.

Since most of you are coming some distance to be here, I'll make the drive out to meet you and see your machines. Being able to put a name to a face is good, that way I'll
know a few of you come trikefest next year:cool:

[brrcuda]

dusting off the cob webs from my gear.

I honestly dont remember the last group ride?? been a long time.

[fabiodriven]

Awesome Dave. I look forward to meeting you.

Well, the stabbin' cabin is actually going to be in effect. (that means I'm bringing the camper) So we'll have a place to poop or whatever we need to do. Hopefully we'll be on schedule. Last time I saw you Paul was at Bearbrook with BigMike and Deepa.

[jeffatc250r]

Me and Ryan are ready to go. Both R's are trapped in my garage waiting impatiently like a pair of bulls waitin for the gate to open.
I woke up with some sorta disease this morning, but its just a head cold. Ill get loaded on nyquil and 100 proof, ill be good to go by morning.

A long tough ride, some tough trails out there. You can get in trouble fast......

Still had a blast with they guys as always :D

Your lucky John broke down, i had double the mileage planned out in my head. Wanted to swing down to the pit across where keene motorsports was, also theres another lookout we never made it to.

[Afrothunderkat]

fabio, you got a black yaris? some one trailer an X in behind a yaris. had a bruins sticker on the back, the guy driving looked angry.

It was nice to meet you guys yesterday and see all the machines- not a slouch in the bunch, very professional. Next time a ride comes around I'll have my act together.
Also a pretty good turn out, 8 machines at one point.

Looking forware to the next one, my creation survived very well :naughty:

[fabiodriven]

It was great to see everybody for sure. Sorry to be the whiner, but somebody's gotta do it. Every ride needs a whiner.

Ya, those trails aren't challenging, they just suck. Let's not sugar coat it. It's like riding in a damn creek bed the entire day. If you guys want to go back there I'll go. I'll just bring the SX next time.

15th is good so far for me. What u guys want now that you see the NH trails?

Rocks are the norm up here unless u hit the RR trails. straight and smooth on those.......

Hopkington/Everett SP might be a good suggestion for next ride. In weare NH - my town. ;)

[TecateDan]

I just marked off the 15th on my calander I don't care where we go as long as it's in NH. I don't feel like buying another registration!!!!!!

My poor 350X crate motor pulling that 250R, I went as gentle and easy as possible :lol:

[Afrothunderkat]

yeah, the trails are super rocky. how far did you guys go? where did you guys end up? that power line picture of you guys up on the hill is only 10-15 mins out. maybe one of us locals can tag along next time and lead the pack if thats fine. you guys find the pits in troy or swanzey?

[jeffatc250r]

I know that whole place very well. Ive been there dozens and dozens of times, no guiding hand needed.

come on paul!! your adding an hour 20 to my already long drive!! thats about just under 4 hrs for me!! alittle far for a day ride!! lets try to do something in south west NH if at all possible, unless we're gonna make a weekend out of it!!!

[TecateDan]

What about the original place we were suppose to go? have the trails there opened back up yet?

[fabiodriven]

Ya, I no longer have any use for that place. I destroyed the machine I was going to bring there.

[TecateDan]

We can just go back to the same place? I believe Jef said we only saw about 1/2 of the trails or mabey he said we only did half of the miles he had planed for that day meaning there are a lot more trails to see?

[TecateDan]

Here is a list of NH state parks. Looks like there is contact info on each location. I'll shoot out some E-mails this week and see what I can find out. Looks like Tri State and Tri County are the most central. Anyone ridden any of these trails or know anything about them?

http://www.nhstateparks.org/uploads/pdf/ATV-TrailBike_TrailsMap_2011_web.pdf

[jeffatc250r]

Ya, theres another pit over across from where keene motorsports useta be and a bunch of trails that branch off here, there and everywhere we could investigate. I know John has no good words for that place, but if onboard a machine that can handle the terrain, it might be enjoyable for him.

[jeffatc250r]

Oh, and i checked out my gopro cam, got some cool footage, just gotta wait till i go somewhere where theres a computer so i can upload it to photobucket. I dont think theres a way to do it through my i-phone is there??

Things are shaping up nicely already. I was over fabio's house last night washing the Tecate and he can't wait to tackle those rocks on his 250sx. Was it you Jeff who was talking about single use brake pads? Took a look at mine last night and it was metal on metal after 2 rides.. WTF everything you buy is crap these days.

Honestly, every friggin set of aftermarket pads ive found are JUNK
Nothing beats stock nissin pads, half my bikes still have the original pads up front from 25 years ago, they are simply awesome.
If you have to go aftermarket, get the most metallic ones you can find, otherwise its just gonna be a 1-2 ride deal

Yeah, I'm here. Wrist is doing better and from the sound of the trails, I'll bring 25" turf busters on new 9" steel with a couple sets of smaller spares too. she's geared LOW with the small
ring/pinioned diff from an ES and is quite a beast on technical climbs. freshly made pumpkin pie too:cool:

I have to wash the beyatch, change the break in oil (that was quite the break in) and see if Johnny has room for me. If all that can happen in a few days, I'm in...............................

My poor rims, they were perfect! But, thats what riding is all about - my ribs hurt but no pussies here :beer

[aldochina]

poor rims!! look at that poor nos motor!! i cant believe you put her away like a dirty tramp after she treated you so well!! get there DC!!!

[tanks350x]

So, what date has been set in stone for this next ride? the 15th???

[jeffatc250r]

The 15th is what i had understood as the date. I will be flying up solo tho, Ryan has to go to his fathers birthday party, (dont turn 60 everyday)
But ill be up. I have since defeated my disease i had the last time, so you boys better be ready because ill be riding angry. I ride a cr 500 daily so i get plenty of practice.

[TecateDan]

Yea the 15th was what I had planned on. At this point it is the only day I can still do..

[aldochina]

say again oct.15th!!!! get your chit together and be there!! glad your feeling better Jeff!! I thought ryan was your ride?? how you gonna get there?? gonna have some good stuff to share!!

[TecateDan]

I pulled my forks apart last night and poured "MUD" not oil out of them??? Hmmm I don't think that's right... Hopefully I'll get them back in time from the polish shop (thanks for the tip on GKPolish aldochina) to make them nice and dirty on the next ride

[jeffatc250r]

Since my pickup is a "around town" only use nowadays, im gonna take my cherokee with a trailer in the back. My bike is ready to go, got new pads in the back, took a link outta my chain, im ready!

[TecateDan]

Just got new tires 22 vs the 20's I ran last time, new bake pads (gonna try a set of OEM and see how they hold up) Lower gearing to off set the bigger tires, lighter wheel spacers than the ones I currently borrowing from fabio (trying to reduce the unsprung weight) and a new rear brake line. Now I just need to find the time to get it all bolted up before we go riding

[fabiodriven]

What's lighter than aluminum? Don't tell me you got the composite ones... They suck.

[TecateDan]

You are always so negative kid. I bought aluminum ones but they are milled down so that they don't have a lot of extra material, There 2.5lbs for the pair where as your must weight 6-7 lbs each.

Blah blah blah...

[TecateDan]

Blah blah blah...

[jeffatc250r]

[fabiodriven]

Dan, figure out the death rev issue??

[aldochina]

do yourself a favor dan and give those lowers a good coat of wax!! it will protext the polish job for awhile, especially hittin that abrasive mud. easy to do when they are all apart like that. i never did mine when i got them back, and i regret it. they will never look as good as the day you unwrap them!! the wax should help. you can clear them, but there is NO clear out there that does not yellow. where the rest of you guys at?? lets get some activity in here!! Paul you gonna make it for sure? dave?? Deepa?? Shane??

[brrcuda]

i got to order my new rim. Doing it today..... I should be there. Planning on it.

[fabiodriven]

Where's Dave Little? :wondering

Roy Boy?

[TecateDan]

Good Call!! I should of thought of that. I use this stuff called collinite fleet wax on all my stuff. It's designed for airplanes and it's unbelievable. I wax my boat once in the spring and after a season in the salt water and a winter of sitting covered up outside water still beads off it like I waxed it yesterday. I'll be interested ot see how it holds up on the shiny parts.
