8-26 New Hampshire RR beds ride

[250r'en +TCB]

August 26th is the set date, plenty of advance this time!:beer

The trails are old RR beds that strech almost 20 miles one way from Windham to Derry. Me, brrcuda and Deepa rode together last time. The trails are great because it gives you the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere, but you are never more than a couple miles from your car or a convient store!!!:lol: There is a small sandpit off to the side we can ride on as well. Excellent for high-speed cruising!!!:w00t:

Machines: I hate to do this, but I feel it's a must. Since you are moving so fast when you ride (5th or even 6th on my R!) we really have to respectfully request that only certain machines attend this ride. 250cc 2-strokes (R, Z, tecate) or 350X's really....... PERHAPS a modded 86/7 200X, even on a modified 6-speed 200X you will proubly have the throttle pinned and be stuggling to keep up. If you don't have or can't borrow one of these machines, you would just not have much fun being WAAAAAAAY behind the pack anyway..... Agian I apologize for this action, but trust me it's really a must.......

The exact time still has to be hammered into place, and I'll tell evrybody where to meet. If you have any specific questions you can PM me or just post them for everybody to see.

Lets get a head count!!!:beer :w00t: :naughty:

[brrcuda]

well I'll be there. I plan on bringing my yellow tri-z to exercise its legs.

this ride is fast and fun. a lot of whoops and straight line acceleration. You also get all the looks from the other riders that have never seen a trike. I had a blast last time we went.

Hopefully more can attend.

[85ytz250nj]

what kind of terrain are we talking about? ill ride almost anything but i am new to the tri-z and am still trying to get the feel of it when it comes to hills. keeping up is not a problem, i just dont want to slow you guys down if there is something i am "ify" about.

[DeePa]

its nice and flat...little kids ride it without problems.

will you be driving 95 to 495 to get to derry NH?

I plan on going and i am right off of 95. I have a truck and trailer so if you want you can park at my house so you dont have as long of a ride. Its about an hour and a half from my house...approx 100 miles. You can join up with me and we can ride in together and theres not much parking up there so it may be a plus.

Mike

[250r'en +TCB]

^^^ Mike is right on that, if you can, I'd recomend tagging along.......

As for the riding it's all a straight line, some whoops in places, but that depends on how long since it's been groomed. It's not really difficult, just REALLY high speed. So try and get some practice with that if you know a place. If the trails are good, you will defiantly be able to top out a 5-speed tri-Z!!! Last time I went out I was pegged on my modded 85R, so that must say something! hahahaha

The more the merrier!!!!

[250r'en +TCB]

Just figured we should start hammering out details on this and give you guys a chance to get your rides worked out.......

I MIGHT have a 310R by the time this ride happens!!! keep my fingers crossed!!!

[brrcuda]

the 26th (saturday) should be good for me - I'll be bringing my 85 tri-z which is pretty much ready to go. Just need to install my new swingarm guard and its good to go. It also holds water better than the black one so it will be a better ride for me.

I might bring my nephew with me on my other tri-z. He is only 15 but he's bigger than me and rides pretty well. He has been dying to go riding with me and keeps asking. I don't know how i will get two bikes in my truck though. The black bike needs the brakes bled and just some general tightening.

devin - 310 kit huh. your bike is already fast. It'll be a beast when your done.

Paul

[85ytz250nj]

DeePa: would you be able to fit my tri-z and a worrior along with your bikes or would you only be able to take 1?

[DeePa]

yeah i could fit 4 trikes and a quad...quad would go in the back of the truck tho...are you talking about to NH or speedbumps?

mike

[85ytz250nj]

ummm well the thread were under is NH railroad ride set for Aug. 26th. so im guessing that one? :wondering

[DeePa]

yeah i got confused.


yeah i can fit them all no problem. You have to leave the bikes that you do not use unattended at the truck. You should be OK if you chain them up. I will only be bringing one bike.

Devin (250r'en +TCB) cannot make it because he is a pussy and broke his arm.

But cuda and i are in. Its fun. we do the 20 mile trail 2 complete times, like 80 or so miles. Its a nice ride...realllly get to stretch the legs of the bikes.

Mike

[85ytz250nj]

nice! well the worrior is my friends, not sure if he can make it so it might only be me! also, how much are you selling that suzuki 250 for?

[DeePa]

that suzuki has been gone for a few months...forgot to fix that...sold it for a grand

mike

[85ytz250nj]

ahh no harm in asking i guess...but yea ill let you know deffinatly about the tri. like i said it might only be me or it might be my friend with his quad.

[250r'en +TCB]

Devin (250r'en +TCB) cannot make it because he is a pussy and broke his arm.


Mike
Hey now lets see you go into the woods doing 40mph and we can judge the "pussyness" you portait :lol:

At this point I'm still thinking I won't be coming, but I'm gonna see how much having just a wrist cast would affect me first.......... I still have to get the axle straightened to....:crazy: ;)

[DeePa]

lol im just kidding...

i got a 350x you can ride...

mike

[brrcuda]

I just installed the new omf skid plate on my yellow tri-z and took it for a rip to make sure all was OK for our ride. Not 10 minutes into it I bent my rear wheel beyond repair on a rock while on the pipe in 3rd gear.

Oh well - i'll switch the wheels with the black z and buy a new set of .190s.

My yellow tri-z is more reliable and holds its fluids better than the black one. So should be less stops due to my issues.

I am looking good for this ride - need to get the bike registered and I am ready. This bike runs nice though.

On another note- i have been looking at all these dune pics lately and I am thinking maybe for trikefest next year of doing a 3 wheeler tour. Maybe hit some NE trails, then NY, Michigan, then indiana for TF. Meet up with some members on the way. Make a week trip out of it. I am sure we could get some big momentum from other members if planned out properly. Want to start with new england guys first. Some partying at nights.:beer . think about it - got a long time to think.:lol:

Paul

[DeePa]

dont get that one registered.....switch the fenders hahahah

im still on without a doubt...and i hope my schedule will allo wme to come with you on that trip

my r is finally all fixed, no more running rough up high. so im set too.

hey guy from NJ, whats up?

mike

[250r'en +TCB]

dont get that one registered.....switch the fenders hahahah

mike
exactly!!! Why spend another $54????

I won't be able to ride....:( I'll have a wrist cast on my let arm, if it was up to me I'd go and just take it easy, but my folks wern't to thrilled with the idea:lol:

I'll stop buy to say hi before you guys take off though, and if it's still ok Paul I would love to get that headlight/kill switch from you as well:beer :w00t:

Hopefully we can all get one more ride in the fall together, do a fall foliege run:lol: My R is gonna be ready to go! Possible short track kit and big bore I hope!!!:w00t:

[DeePa]

paul, how much od you want for that grab bar if you still have it?

could you bring it?

thanks,
mike

[brrcuda]

Mike - the grab bar is a home made/honda piece. It actually looks almost like it belongs there and is super strong. The original was cut and new mounts bars welded on.

I'll get a pic of it for you. 15 bucks is all i would want. Better then shelling out a 100 like I did for a new one. This one is so much stronger than the new one i bought.

Devin - I'll bring the headlight switch for ya. It will be much better than what you got now. Fully functioning just a little faded and scratched. I bought a new one of those also.

as for the registration for the ride - yeah i guess since we wont be tresspassing, i should ok with just the tag - huh. I keeping thinking of when they cross checked the vin on the neck when we got nabbed.

[brrcuda]

here it is mike - $15

[DeePa]

yeah that works for 15....ill bring the cash for you.

devin how did you make out going to court? paul, did your ticket get sent back to you like mine did?

i just had the r opened up in 3rd...i cant wait til i can get it open in 6th again.

mike

[250r'en +TCB]

I go to court the 25th i believe........ should be fun haha

[brrcuda]

mike - ticket was not sent back so I assumed it was paid and accepted by them.

What do you mean sent back - did you get your money back and not have to pay or was there an error? Let us know.

If you did - your a lucky *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**E dited*.

[DeePa]

mail got returned because of no mail receptable hahahah

[DeePa]
