Trike Circus at Bundy Hill 6/2/2012

[ditchmud]

I was checking out Bundy Hill's website (http://www.bundyhilloffroad.com/) and it looks as though they have us on the schedule for June 2nd :Bounce
The weather will definitely be warmer for us this year:D So let the planning begin...what do we want to do this year? More racing or more trail riding and hanging out? :welcome:

[YoungJay]

me and bigdawg will be there idk trail and hanging out even tho ill be on a quad due to my 3wheeler being rebuilt

[nitrodude81r]

I will be there, racing :cool:

[jeswinehart]

YES ! I was so hoping to see something about this ~ YES indeed.
What ever we do, factor me in to help Rich.

john

[Matt85'350x]

Hopefully there won't be any rain this year! We didnt' really get to do any events last year. Now I gotta see if I can get my P3 ready! 350x will be there too.

[tapper190]

We will be there as well Rich, if you need any help let me know.
Tapper

[wonderboy]

Very cool! I'm really excited to hit this event again. As the other said, if there is something I can help with, please let me know.

[DRKCYDE]

Looking forward to it.

[MonroeMike]

[booblinker]

The Burgers were amazing, plus lots of other good food. I'm guessing I'll be there with MI500 if he can make it too.

[willreed03]

I will definitely be there! Got a few more toys to bring this year...Gonna have my 84R, my 85 350X, my 85 Tecate 200, and hopefully have my 84 300R done but I make no promises with that one...

Let me know what I can bring...I would definitely like to help out as much as I can!

[harryredtrike]

I'll be there,great time for sure.

[ditchmud]

All right folks I just ordered some really cool trophies for Drag Racing and Hill Climb.:beer

[Billy Golightly]

No awards for most beers consumed or most burgers eaten? Wtf

Bundy Hill doesn't allow alcohol on the premises as far as I know.

[Howdy]

:rolleyes:
Lighten up. It was a joke. I was planning on drinking on the way, off the premises, and during the drive home.

I wouldn't broadcast drinking on the way there or back either. We do have Men in Blue as members of the forum. Not saying they would report it, but I can't say they won't either.
Howdy

[Howdy]

The fun police seem to be out in full force too.
You guys can relax.... I'll be on my best behavior that day.

You guys win the trophy for most serious overreaction.

This is a Family friendly forum and We have a rule here on the forums about posting illegal activities. If we really want to push the issue we could give you time off for not following the rules.
With that said: I guess your the one that doesn't get it!!!
Do you not understand what Family Friendly means?

Howdy

[Howdy]

Guess you have to do what you feel is right.
Do you not understand I said it was a joke. I figured the three times I said it already would be a dead giveaway.

I don't give a crap if you were joking or not. You don't post the illegal crap on the forums. PERIOD!!! If you wish to keep pushing the issue I WILL have to have a conversation with myself because you won't be able to reply. I don't like having to be mean, but you obviously still haven't gotten it ( after 3 replies from Admins) and my patients has ran out. Next time is 3 day vacation, Joking or not.

Great ! The Mrs. and myself will bring the drag light + cones and the bull horns.

[tapper190]

Great ! The Mrs. and myself will bring the drag light + cones and the bull horns.
maybe a stop watch also, or was that the first year we were using a normal watch for the hill climb, lol. I think I will be retiring from the hill climb this year, just going to be bringing the sx for a nice easy day on the trails with the Mrs. and the Swineharts...
Tapper

[RoscoW]

I don't know Dave, I've got a nice big trailer that can take all our machine and then some, plenty of room for a hill shooten, drag racin 600, err I mean 350X

Ross..

[ditchmud]

Everybody getting ready for this???

[wonderboy]

You bet! I'm getting very excited. I need to try to get a clutch job done before hand, but other than that, good to go! Is there anything in particular you need help with setting up? Just holler.

[MonroeMike]

I'm getting ready also. Got a recoil to fix in one machine and another needs a clutch.

Finally broke down and bought a tri-fold ramp too.

[ctk]

I'm all ready. See you guys there

[ditchmud]

Does everyone want to do a potluck lunch like before? Who wants to bring what?

[MonroeMike]

I'm bringing a cake.

[ditchmud]

That cake was awesome last year!

[ditchmud]

We need volunteers to bring in some food for the picnic!!!!!!!!!!!! Anybody.....or do we need to fend for ourselves?:wondering

So far Monroemike is bringing a cake.
I will bring enough hot dogs, buns, and fixings for them.

[hublake]

I will bring 10 lbs of Koegel Vienna hot dogs. Best hot dog there is.

Ditch forget the hot dogs. I had already mentioned to John S that I would bring some. Are 10lbs enough?

[jeswinehart]

yep, I am bringing tailgaitor gril + buns, Amy and her man Dan are bringing condements

[ditchmud]

Fantastic!!!! Thanks for the help. I don't know how many hot dogs that 10lbs. would be.....last year we had about 45 people attend, if that helps you.

[tapper190]

I'll bring some chips, and pop, oh I forgot, soda's for my American friends and some of that great Canadian water!

Tapper

[tecat-z]

Tapper
Ha, it's all good Dave... We call it pop around here too.

[jeswinehart]

Oh boy, here we go with that Canadian water thing again,,,, :)

[Lee350x]

Any other food that you need someone to bring? .... and i read in Michigan Auto/RV that fishers atv world is supposed to be there that day also.

Lee

[hafdeadx]

Ditchmud let me know if we need something else to bring. If not I can bring some potato and macroni salad and a cooler full of pop or soda and bottled water. Shoot me something.

[ditchmud]

LeeI just did some searching for what Fishers ATV World was......It is a television show on outdoor channel that travels around the country riding in different places. They indeed will also be there that weekend filming the action at the park. So this is an awsome opportunity for us to show the world that people still enjoy trikes safely.

Sorry Rich, with your track record, maybe you should stay off the 350x that weekend and ride the quad, lol, just kidding. That sounds great, everyone shine up the trikes, they will be wondering what the heck is going on with all the trikes there!
Tapper

[ditchmud]

I'm getting excited here!!!!!!!!!!!
Everybody please bring a small item to be placed on the door prize gift table. The more gifts the more fun it is. The gift doesn't have to be 3 wheeler related or even a brand new item. In years past people have brought...tow ropes, tool kits, helmets, gloves, stickers, etc. You bring it we will definitely be glad to give it away!

As far as food goes I think that we have the basics covered so just bring anything you want to share. Chips, cookies, water, pop, desserts, or maybe you have something extra special for us. If you bring it...it will be eaten lol!

I have bought a banner that I will hang from an ez up canopy that will mark our head quarters. At this spot we will have sign ups for the races, set up our picnic, have our giveaways and basically be our spot to meet, greet and hang out with each other!

As far as events go, I have bought trophies for Drag Racing, and hill climb events. I still have some of the medals from last year left over so if we come up with something else as far as some kind of competition I have it covered. Just let me know what you have in mind to do and we will do it!

Don't forget "Fisher's ATV World tour" will be filming for their television show the day of our event, so I would definitely like for us 3 wheelers to outnumber the 4 wheelers on that day!

This is an event for all of us, by all of us. I am really looking forward to spending the day with all of you! If you have any question, suggestions or concerns, or if your just getting excited about this like I am let's hear from ya!! Thanks Rich

[tecat-z]

What is Fishers ATV world? Never heard...
TV show? What channel can ya find em on?
Haven't seen a ATV show in years.

[jeswinehart]

Outdoor channel I think it is Ed. I usally catch it around bed time. Pretty darn good show actually.

[wonderboy]

That's pretty cool that there will be a TV show there that day. Is this just a pure coincidence, or are they there specifically because of the the 3-wheeler event? Just wondering if we'll be a little side topic for the show, or if we'll be the stars...

Okay, a update on hot dogs. In talking with diving buddy Amy, she says her and her man Dan will bring buns + condements.
Lloyd has those awesome hotdogs covered and Liway and I are bringing a grill.
In addition to above, Liway and I have our "prize table gifts picked out and I wuill remind Amy + Dan since they are coming over to house tonight about bringing a little something for the table.
IN addition to above, I will have plenty of 3wheerlerWorld decals in 3 styles for those who may want one of those and PLENTY of C.O.A.'s to accompany those decal/stickers.
If I am not mistaken, last years winning C.O.A. was purchased at Ditchmuds TrikeCircus get together for the white Tecate.
Looking forward to this ! john

[shannonw]

Hey Ditch, Ross and I will bring burgers ad buns with us also!

[ditchmud]

Hey Ditch, Ross and I will bring burgers ad buns with us also!
Thanks for bringing the burgers again....you guys are awesome!


If anybody has a folding Table that they could bring...we could use a few for the lunch spread and what not. Thanks Rich

[hublake]

I will bring a table.

[tecat-z]

[tapper190]

My wife and I are shooting for 9:30-10ish, it all goes well, don't forget to bring a flag
Tapper

[T3 LOPES]

What size flag in needed? A 6 or 8ft flag? Also is a sparky needed? Thanks lopes

[hublake]

8ft. it says on their website.

[tecat-z]

Ok cool, guess i'l shoot for 9 o-clock with a Tri-z and Tecate.

[tapper190]

What size flag in needed? A 6 or 8ft flag? Also is a sparky needed? Thanks lopes
will the sparky slow you down? if so, i think you need one, lol. I believe you need a special pipe also for the 2 strokes, something really restrictive, lol

Tapper

[RoscoW]

will the sparky slow you down? if so, i think you need one, lol. I believe you need a special pipe also for the 2 strokes, something really restrictive, lol

Tapper
Dave I think that rule only applied to Kawasaki's, Honda's were fine if I remember................................ oh wait I'll have a kawi as well. see you guys on Sat.

Ross and Shannon

[T3 LOPES]

You guys are killin me! So no sparky needed or what?

[ditchmud]

They won't hassle you about a sparky.

[MonroeMike]

If anybody has a folding Table that they could bring...we could use a few for the lunch spread and what not. Thanks Rich


I will bring a table.

I will bring one too.

I ordered the cake today. Gonna bring some paper plates, napkins and forks also.

[Gag_Halfront]

Hey, everybody. Just following up on the sparky conversation, I was looking at their site for that today and saw that they had a noise restriction of 94db. My 350x has a stupid DG RCM on it, and my T3 has a DG silencer. Is there _any_ chance that either of these bikes will be allowed into the park? If neither one will make it past noise check, I'll just bring the battle trike. I just need to know in advance before I start loading the truck.

[Lee350x]

I have DG on my 350x, and all our 250r's are loud, one with a DG and ive never had any problems there. I dont actually think ive ever seen them actually test noise.

[ditchmud]

Like Lee said, I think that you will be ok.

[BiGDawG]

me and jay are heading out tomorrow, should we bring anything, like chips or something?

[ctk]

gag......my 200x has a cobra exhaust no sparky. I got tested a couple of years ago and passed. Ive never been tested again. Bundy hill is very cool about noise levels. You should be fine.

[max]

If anyone has an extra flag i could use that would be great. Didnt notice the flag thing till this week. Worse comes to worse ill just buy one there. Let me know if anyone can help me out.

Thanks
Max

[MonroeMike]

By the time I got home, I was sunburnt, exhausted, dirty, sore, and had broken both my bikes. What a blast. I had a great time. Glad I finally made the trip.

Special thanks to Rich for all the work that went in to coordinating everything, Mr. Swineheart for helping run the events, Lloyd for the hot dog (and Shannon for cooking it for me) and everybody else who contributed food, drinks, prizes or time and effort to help make it a great event. If I forgot anybody, insert your own self here. ;-)

It was also great to see some of the folks I haven't been able to meet up with nearly as often as I would like.

[ditchmud]

Hey everybody... Thank you so much for all you each did to make Trike circus 2012 a great success! We had great weather other than it was a little windy. We had a great turn out. We had some great food. We had some great racing, and we had a great time! I am real busy this week with work and the kids ball games but hopefully next weekend I can upload the photos and video that I have.

Thanks again everbody!!!!!!!!!!

[tecat-z]

Gatta give a big thanks to Rich for having this event! I had wanted to go for the last 2 years, and made sure this year was it. The riding at this place was very fun, offering lots of variety. From hill climbing, to a dragstrip, to a trail system they are developing. I was very pleased to have made it and support this event. The entire crew that was present was great as usual as with nearly 3wheeled events i've attended, with from what i'd guess was around 50 or so machines. Great food, deserts, cooks, and even super sweet trophies. I will plan on attending every year is the date is kept close to the same. Thanks to everyone.

[jeswinehart]

Somebody or ALOT of somebody's remind me to put out a offering can for Rich next year ! On my way home and in talking with the Mrs about the days fun filled events she asked about who paid the bill for tropheys/medals.
Agggggh !
Why in the heck I did NOT put out a donation can, did anyone ? If so I missed it - really (dam) ?
Okay, everybody knows Rich is our not so secrete picture dude, if you did not know that I will tell you Rich is our secrete photo guy ~ Got it ?
I have sweet pictures in my office of near and dear to me Trikefest meets, several at home Rich himself took, SandPuppy rides he took and NO annual TrikeCircus meets,,,, what the heck have I been thinking !
Everybody PLEASE PM Rich and his sons, requesting copy of that sweet group picture we all took. If he don't give you his address for redemption, PM me cause I will.
Trikefest is around the corner but the Mrs. + Mrs. Tapper are putting together another ride ride at BundyHill in July for thier husbands (or them selves ?)due in a very large part to Ditchmuds TrikeCicus-Bundyhill ride.
Thanks for getting us the discount in admittance too Rich !

[ditchmud]

Unfortunitely I did not take a group picture. Wonderboy used his camera for the picture. If you would like a copy of the group picture please contact him. I am sure that he will take care of you.

As far as making donations towards the Trike Circus expenses? Please send any money that you wish to donate towards the Trike Circus to John Swinehart so that he may pass it along to the family of Roger "sandpuppi" Steffens. Thank You!

[wonderboy]

If anyone wants the original full-res group picture, just PM me your e-mail address. The reduced res image is posted above. I took three shots in succession, in case anyone wasn't looking (or was running away from the camera...).

Thanks again Rich for a great event!

[300rman]

Had a lot going on this year and couldnt make it :( looks like it was a blast!

[YoungJay]
