Ride'in with the 4's. !!!

[bigredhead]

Well.. this sunday a few of the guys are going to ride " Martin Head " a place in New Brunswick ( canada ) and all but Little o'le me have 4 wheelers.

I was unsure about going along with my old 84 Big Red, mostly the fact that my top speed ( crusing speed that is ) is about 45km/h, i've hit 70 at one point but you can't ask an old beast like that to hold up to an hour long non-stop ride all out..........

Do you guys try to run with other 3 wheelers when you go out.. or do you mostly run with the 4's ?

I'm confident she'll go thru the mud and water as well as the 10,000 $ bikes..

but.

your opinions and comments !!!

All I ever seem to ride with are quads.Most of the time all seems pretty equal.The only times I notice any differences, are extreme hills and some bad mud holes.These are the places that you can't expect to compete with the 4x4's. As soon as you hit the woods you can kick their a-- again.

i rarely ride with other people on trikes but i eat most of the quads i ride with alive!

Strange.... I always ride w/ other 3-wheelers. ha Maybe its cuz they are all riding my other ones (can only ride one at a time ). ha Oh well.......

I agree with 83200E on the hills and deep mud holes. The guy,s I ride with have 3and4 wheelers and I always get elected to be the leader and test all obsticles first with my Big Red cause they figure if I have a hard time going then They usually will try to find an easier route around. I say run with them and show them just what that old Honda's got! Have fun!

Doesn't matter if your on 3 or 4 wheels it's about if you have any skills.

[bigredhead]

skills all you want, you don't follow a herd of 2003 kvf 700's on a big red 200 !

But yeah.. i'm gonna go, it's supposed to be nice and sunny and 20 C.

I've never ridden on sandy beaches before, should be a fun time !

[OldSchoolin86]

What's it matter if they are all 700s? Unless your doing long wide open runs all day that 200 should have no problem. You mentioned water holes and mud. You could have a 110 and still have fun in those situations. Now you mentioned sand, if your doing a lot of wide open stuff then that's a no brainer. Your going to be playing catch-up all day. Good Luck.

[bigredhead]

it's a real cool place..

you have to ride open logging roads for about an hour ( i'm told they usually cruise at around 50 to 60 km/h )

then it's a woods narrow trail for about a half hour of mud and tight trails ( the part i'll be fine with !! )

and then you get to the beach, at low tide you can make it to an island for a few hours before hightide comes in.. will have to run thru a few inches of salt water to get there.. but no biggie !

and then come back the same way !!!!

[OldSchoolin86]

I'm Jealous man, we don't even have decent trails around here. That sounds like a blast!

[bigredhead]

it's all good tho.. no one's in a rush, so they said i could lead the pace and they'd follow along, stop here and there.. have a snack, i'll be some tired by the end of the day..

specially if i can't get the ****ing electric start going... ugh.
( she starts easily on the pull start.. but elec is soo much better ! )

[OldSchoolin86]

I did a little web seaching for Martin Head and didn't have any luck. Do you have any good web sites for trails up there?

[bigredhead]

i'll look it up... give me a few minutes.
