TF 07 Stupid stuff Before, During, and After (funny stuff - no trashing)

[350Xhilaration]

Thread for all the stupid stories that a lot of us missed. Not enough time to talk to everyone. Post up any stories of before, during or on the way home from TF.

I'll start.

Kevin and I were on our way to IN from PA on Thursday early morning. We had an empty cooler with plans to pick up drinks, food, ice when we got closer to IN.

In a cell phone call about 3 hours into the trip my wife informs me that I left my ziploc bag with soap, toothbrush, deodorant, and toothpaste sitting at the top of the steps at home.

We get to a Walmart somewhere in Ohio or Indiana. We go in, Kevin needs a pair of riding gloves, I need the above items in addition to the ice, food, water, and beer.

We walk around and find the gloves & personal items for me.

We pick up a case of water and then find the beer section. We grab a case of beer and are now wondering where the ice is. We see a sign near the front for ice. I push the cart through to the checkout and Kevin goes for a few bags of ice.

The nice lady puts everything in the cart and I pay for all the stuff. As soon as I take the receipt I say "We forgot food". A lady behind us in line says "Well, you have beer water and ice, who needs food?"

So we turn the loaded cart around and head back into the store for food.

Go past the meat section...hmm hot sausage...yeah that looks good. 2 packs of 5 should be plenty for both of us for a 4 day trip...10 sausages for 2 guys for 4 days of riding...yeah stupid.

Next...



Fast forward to Friday morning 5:45 AM. I'm asleep in the Durango with the tailgate open. I hear thunder off in the distance. I figure I'll get up, grab a bottle of water, take a leak, and crawl back in and pull the tailgate shut and wait out the impending rain.

I'm barefoot and in a pair of boxers, I grab the bottle of water, put it in the truck, turn to the nearest "restroom" and take a leak. Wind is really kicking up about now and the thunder is getting louder. I hear this major crash behind me. I turn around and see a canopy upside-down on the hood of my Durango. I was like WTF is that? I walk over toward it and see Roger up and about. I go back over and wake kevin up to help get the tangled up mess straightened out. The far left canopy pulled the stakes from the ground, took flight, sailed up and over the other 2 canopies (while attached to one of them) and landed between my truck and Roger's trailer. It just about totaled the one canopy that was tied to the one that took flight.

It starts raining and there are a couple other guys out of bed now helping out. Sorry, I don't remember who all came out to help...too early. We get the canopies somewhat secured and it starts to pour. The rain slows down and we all head back to bed. What a crappy way to start the day.

Roger spent a good while zip tying and rebolting the busted pieces on his canopy and had it operational by 11AM I think.

[johnny's X]

Well I have a stupid story. I think it was Friday evening myself and a friend tried to drag race facing backwords on our trikes. At the time and the shape of us this sounded to be a great idea. We pulled up to the line and the guy drops his arms. Cody pops the front end up and stahls it out. I on the other hand made it about 100 feet down the strip when my mind could not get the thing to turn away from the guard rail, now keep in mind iam in the far lane. well I ended up into the rail and getting off and still pulling it out for the win.

[sandpuppi101]

Yeah the canopy,Whew!! That was something too see for sure,I'm just glad the Durango did'nt get messed up.Yeah Rhuel it was me ,you Kevin and the Mosh's in that fiasco.Thank's for the help by the way,good thing it did'nt get plowed that nite.With all that going on I hollared at my Brother and told him we could use a little help,He did'nt even budge,and by the time he woke up ,I already had the tent fixed and he could'nt believe anything had happened.Thanks Charlie,Rhuel,Kevin and Dawn for the patchjob on getting the canopy backup.
Another stupid thing that happened was I had the atc 600 on the way out of the camp area and it just quit's.Well I kicked it with no sucess.Sat there and kicked somemore.If anybody saw me kicking that thing they know that it has a little bit of compression.Well after 20 or 30 tries,I look down at the fuel line ,tap it and ,NO FUEL...Yep,I ran her outta gas.It eat's gas like nothing I ever owned before.So Gplarry tote's me back to camp,I dumped in a couple gallon's,and by this time I was so whipped that I had to have Larry start it for me,LOL.Now that was stupid.

[ccdhowell]

I have a stupid story. We were camped over by Sprock's mobile engine service. Jason, atcaddict, and I had been drinking. Jason decides to take his X down into the woods and drag up some logs. He does this and we lay them across a big stump in our camp. He uses a little gas to get it started and we watch it slowly develop into a nice fire. We continued drinking and as we got drunker the fire died out. Jason grabs the gas can and uses it to restart the fire. Over the course of the next 3 hours, we drink more and Jason pours all the gas he and his brother brought with them on the fire(about 7 gallons), he even drained the tank of his topend fried aircooler R and poured it on the fire too. When we woke up the next morning his brother, atceric, managed to find one gallon of unburned gas in a milkjug, that's it. We burned all the gas they brought with them...stupid. Chris

[TRITecate350]

Hehe, I would make my rounds to everyones camp in the morning and wake them up. I would wake up ATC Eric and Atcaddition by grabbing their tents and shake them violently. Then would yell at the top of my lungs..."OH MY GOD!!!! ITS AN EARTHQUAKE!!!!!" Well Sunday Morning I guess the guys had drank way too much because when I did the Earthquake wake up call, both guys were sleeping IN THE SAME TENT!! I guess, Closer the kin, softer the skin... lol.
Apparently Jason went to the restroom then crawled back into the wrong tent....

[ATC-Eric]

Yeah, he has a couple of good sleepwalking stories! :lol:


Chris, the one thing you didnt mention was that the only gas that was left was mixed gas. Then to take it a little farther, both our 2 strokes were out of comission, leaving us with 2 350x's!!!! So the only gas we had we couldnt use!!!!:rolleyes:

[icp4life162005]

So what was the price of gas in Indiana?

[ccdhowell]

Eric, I forgot about that. Funny stuff. Hey I didn't know Jason crawled back in your tent, dam that's funny.

[TRITecate350]

Every morning when we woke up, we had a racoon problem, they would destroy our trash and have it strung out everywhere. The Mosh's actually had a tent set up with food cloths etc... the racoons ripped a hole in their tent and pulled out and ate some food from their stash.

[kb200x]

What was up with that wood ? We watched you guys pour at least 5 gallons of gas on it. I came over sometime during the night and dumped a gallon of teaky torch fuel on it and brought a few logs to throw on it also with still no luck. :D I thought for sure there was going to be an explosion. Eric was getting real happy with the gas. :D From across the road it looked like he was doing some kind of dance around the fire. Sway this way. stumble that way. Then toss on a cup of gas. :eek: Then he would yell "HOT Damn!" I wish I had a video of that.

That was an old rotten tree trunk Jason drug out of the woods with the 350. Stuff was soaked to the bone!

Hmmm, trikefest stupid stuff... does getting your picture taken with the lifesize Thomas the tank engine in town count? Haha, anyone who drove through Laurel on the way in had to see this thing, we saw it and we were like "hot dang, its thomas we need our picture with that"

Stuffing a KLT 110 in the back of the rented trailblazer was pretty funny too.

I'm sure I'll think of more stuff but for now this is good, haha

[Tri-ZNate]

I got one

Some one was making a molitoff cocktail. Well they put the paper towel in and let the entire towel get wet (A.K.A. the bloody wick to the thing) and said hey Nate what do i do next. I just shook my head and said "your on your own. Light it and throw it fast :lol:". So he lights it and the rag starts burning REAL fast so he chucks it and all we got was some pools of fire. I was expecting an explosion :lol:

I remember that, the lighter got whipped out and i took a few steps back. Cori was so drunk i said "where's your bottle?" and she said, They're making me a maltive (yea thats what she said in a drunken slurr LMAO) cocktail. I just laughed and tryed to explain to her that you dont drink them.:lol:

[Mrs.Mosh]

I have one....
I was trying to sell some raffel tickets with little luck. My new buddy Andrea came up to me, and said "i'll help you sell some tickets, hop on the 200s with me". So we get on, and go from camp site to camp site.
We pull up into one particular camp, and she says "Hey boys! Feeling lucky?":lol: :idea:
Yeah....That camp bought what I had left of tickets:lol:
Thanks Andrea! And thanks to everyone who bought tickets!:beer

[madmanwithmouse]

On the way home we saw a full moon :lol: :eek: , but you can ask eric or his bro about that <--- :naughty: .

[350Xhilaration]

Just remembered another one as I was doing laundry and noticed the big orange patch on the shoulder of my TF05 Shirt.

It's probably not a secret that I don't like mud. I like to stay clean & I like my machines to stay clean. Since it rains every year at TF I bought a Thor Mud Suit (vinyl coat and pants) for this year.

I reluctantly decided to go on the poker run in the muck. I suited up in the plastic coat and pants and it's doing a great job of keeping me clean. I had a great time playing in the mud and was glad I went on the poker run.

I was already running with Howdy, his boy, TimSr, Charlie and a couple others. At some point I joined up with Raffa on the 350X and some other guys. Well, TimSr pulls in front of me and acts as if he's gonna roost me. Being the gentleman that he is, he doesn't. He pulls along side and says "I wouldn't do that." I look behind me and see Raffa...I look over at Tim and say "But I would!!" I spin a few pounds of mud in Raffa's direction and keep riding.

We hit a couple more checkpoints and end at the top of the backbone. I shut off my 350X and start talking to sanpuppi. I get off my trike and start peeling off the caked plastic jacket and say "Well, it's time to be clean for a while"

But before I could finish my sentence I hear "No you're NOT!" and a big ka-thud on my nice clean shoulder...Raffa slung a mudball at me from about 20 feet and nailed me in the shoulder.

We were even.

What a ball the poker run was. Mud and all.

[team-red-rider]

u talking about howdys son anthony right ...on the 86 125? lmao that thing was a ball of mudddddd he was chiseling the mud from the foot pegs with a screwdriver lol

[viper]

one thing that comes to mind on the stupid stuff is that if you rode to the crapper without a lid you get some dick screaming and yelling about that but there were people drinking beer inbetween passes at the races in plain view of everyone and that was acceptable ... i dont get it .....lol

[Tri-ZNate]

Ha ha we were doing it to everyone so dont worry about it. Didnt you know thats Ass Hole Mountain ;)

[viper]

moral of the story is you cant *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* about safety when everytime you hear someone say anything its let drink some beer ......then several people are drinking and riding .....never heard anyone *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* about that just the stupid *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* about helmits when going to the crapper ......

seen a post on here one time about posting pics where people werent wearing a helmet .........if thats ahow i chose to ride its my choice i am a adult ...........but i havent ever seen anything about drink and riding so what would make more sense .....helmet to shitter or no beer and ride ?

[350Xhilaration]

This was intended to be a "fun stupid stuff" not "pi$$ed off stupid stuff" thread.

Could you fire up a new thread to vent your frustrations?

I'd chime in with my views on the subject. Just not here.

Thanks.

[ATC-Eric]

Good call, jumped on that wagon pretty quick!

[madmanwithmouse]

but i havent ever seen anything about drink and riding so what would make more sense .....helmet to shitter or no beer and ride ?
The thread name is "TF 07 Stupid stuff Before, During, and After" if you missed it.

And I agree completly with viper, funny or not its still stupid, that one can get hammered and nobody even blinks, but forget to put your helmet on because nature is calling and everybody in sight is yelling at you. :crazy: :rolleyes: :wondering

I didn't miss it...I STARTED THIS THREAD SO I KNOW WHAT THE INTENT OF IT WAS.

If you'd like to start a flame thread, by all means go ahead. This thread was intended to be for "fun stupid stuff"...IN CASE YOU MISSED IT in my clarification a couple posts ago.

I can change the title if that would make it easier for you to understand...Didn't think I'd need to since I clarified what the intent was...now for the second time.

Any funny stories viper or madman...we'd love to hear them. I'm sure you've got to have some good ones.

[madmanwithmouse]

im not mad yet but, I defanatly wanted to point it out. mabey you should tho if it bothers you that much?!

[Tri-ZNate]

look it wasn't meant to piss anyone off. We were having fun and I'm sorry. We started doing it after about 15 people went by without brain buckets. And I can account for all my crew when I say that even when we went to Alky Hill we at least had a bucket on.

[madmanwithmouse]

I dont care about the helmet thing, It was the drinking and riding that ticked me off. Anyhow, lets see "funny" stupid stuff. . . :wondering

[ATC-Eric]

I started another thread for the venting of TF frustrations http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/showthread.php?p=510398#post510398

Lets not ruin this thread.

[ccdhowell]

Eric, you're such a diplomat.Dammit

[keister]

This did happen before Trikefest (about 4 years before). While it is a stretch, I think it meets the intent and spirit of this thread..... and it is too funny to keep to myself.

Just to set the scene:
My brother and I were on our Big Reds on a late Saturday night ride. There was a well known 4x4 truck mudbog location nearby, and we heard they were gettin' it that day so we stopped by for the after party.
When we got finally arrived around 2am, there wasn't much left:
1. A guy in a camo-painted '83 Dodge pickup (with 44's) running over some other dude's Ford Tempo (monster truck style). It seemed the Tempo was his daily driver because he didn't seem to condone the crushing of his car.
2. The smoldering remnants of a huge bonfire with a large variety of beer can and bottles strewn about (Pabst, Busch, Schlitz - just the high dollar stuff...).
3. Half a dozen drunks staggering around the area.
You get the picture.

So we roll in on the Big Reds and this girl walks up and asks one question:

Drunk Girl: "Is that thing four wheel drive?"
ATCTim: "It's a THREE wheeler!"
Drunk Girl: "You never know."
ATCTim: "...... ok, we ought to be heading home ........"

[madmanwithmouse]

Watching Corey Sprock roll the V-force on DB was pretty funny (and scary too). Not sure what he saw in it. :?

I would have paid GOOD money to see that! Did anyone get it on tape?

[madmanwithmouse]

Not that im aware of. It was during the poker run right before anyone arrived to try to climb DB. We where there waintin for everyone to show up and away he went. :crazy:
