Greenwood Lake NY wintertrikefest

I might be able to do it that weekend, I checked the zip Bryan gave me and its about 270 miles from here. I'm pretty much ready to go, I've got the 250R all back together except for the stator cover, the PVL looked pretty crusty so I cleaned it really well but I want to make sure it starts before I put it back on. I've got about 2 gallons of C-16 that I need to mix up so I can start it. I'll do that this week. I've also got the 4x4 99% squared away. It's at the point that I can plow with it and ride it but I want to do the front ball joints before I really kill it in the woods. In any case, PM me with your game plan would be if Bryan allows us to come up.

325 miles from me, so I will have to down to get there in reasonable time. I'm glad I have a V8 now. I called Mike a couple times now, but haven't received a response. I will keep trying.

[JohnR.]

Sounds good. I just got off the phone with Ronnie's ATV, I ordered the ball joints, shock mounts, and front wheel bearing for the 4x4 so that thing should be tip top by next weekend. If I don't need to bring it Bryan, just let me know and I'll leave it at home. It's much easier to leave the trailer at home.

I have a polaris here with a plow.. to use john no need to haul that all the way up.. I just went out in my PJ's and checked the ice with my own eyes.. the first hole is about 20 feet out at 5" the second is is about 75 yrs out .. way over the drop off ..tit bit scary drillin out that far. at night but it's a solid 4" same as last weekend so I didnt lose any ice over that warm spell.. the ice is hard and flat, and somewhat smooth.. I can fit one in a bed and two on the couch,,next too the fireplace..also a air mattress queen size... no need for motel money.. and the olady cooks a mean breakfast.. just ask 200xman

the ol 86 clone is gonna get a hone and new set of rings this weekend and tires switched over ..and need to get some race gas for the black bike also

hows that for current ice conditions..

hey meat box .. ya gonna be ready by prez weekend??

we wanna do this on the 16th,17th or the 23rd,24th..I say sooner the better

[JohnR.]

Awesome. I think that the weekend of the 16th would be better for Chris since he's got a 3 day weekend that weekend. I've got Sunday and Monday as my regular days off so I'll burn up a day for Saturday no matter what but I've got 12 days "in the bank" right now plus I'll be getting a floating day for that Monday and another 2 weeks on May 1st. I'll just need to figure out if I'm heading up Saturday Morning or Friday night. Are we staying over Sunday night and coming home Monday or leaving Sunday night? If I could come up Saturday A.M. (or even Friday night) and leave sometime on Monday that'd be ideal. Daytona is on Sunday night and I can't miss that.

Arrrrgghhh! I can't do it that weekend. It's my wife's birthday on Saturday and I really can't bail out on that. I can do the next weekend though. Hopefully that would be do-able for Chris too.

John

[Bryan Raffa]

23rd -24th sounds good .. hope the ice stays..maybe the long island boys will want to play..

[JohnR.]

Cool. Hopefully Chris can make it up then too. I'll see what he says and go from there. My wife is really laid back and wouldn't give me a hard time or a guilt trip about going on her b-day but she deserves better than that and I couldn't do that to her.

I wouldnt even try that one dog house for shure....
hopefully meatbox will have a chain and tires by then

[tri-Z ripper]

I may be able to have the tri-z ready for then or is anybody else running a 4 stroke?

[ChrisD]

Hello Gents

I can not make it on the weekend of the 24th. I have to be in Richmond VA, on Sunday afternoon and Monday. However, I won't hold up a ride for everyone else. I can do it Presidents Day weekend. If that won't work for anyone else, I will come up to GWL and we can get the guys together for winter carnival even though we won't be able to ride....most likely at this rate.

If Presidents Day will work for some guys, I would love to come up to Raffa's and ride. It's like a 4 to 5 hour ride for me. I am SOOOOO danm bored and dying to ride my R. Let me know what you guys think.

[Bryan Raffa]

what ever works out for the majority of people...when is the carnaval down there again? what about sooner?

[JohnR.]

If I miss it, I miss it. It won't be the end of the world for me.

I Have two tracks in south east NH, a 1/10 mile and a 1/8 mile built for close combat racing. Really got to force the issue to get a pass in and many of those passes are on the outside groove. Really fun stuff, wish you guys could come up and tear it up with us. This will be our 4th weekend and can maybe get to the 2nd weekend in March. Hotels in Dover NH, 25 minutes from the track are only $ 70.00 a night. You could head up here Friday night and leave on Sunday and have 2 great days of Racing. Heated garage right at the track for repairs or to hang out and a grill full of food for lunch and dinner on me. I think we could possibly get 20 + out there and do heats and features..

the slush froze over night ..wait till you see this vid I got..your gonna be SO Jealous.. like glass.....
