Greenwood Lake NY wintertrikefest

[JohnR.]

I'm definitely down for racing on Greenwood Lake since I'm out there most weekends with the 330R anyway and I might be able to hit up one of the other ones too.

A word of advice, if you're going to do any sort of riding on Greenwood Lake outside of the track that we set up, I'd recommend getting your trike registered. It's cheap ($15) and will prevent you from having any problems with the local cops or DEC police. No insurance is necessary on the lake.

both mine are reg... all tho I did lose a plate in ether IN or PA......

[JohnR.]

I reg'd my 350x and just move the plate over to the R when I ride that. The powdercoating on the frame of the R made it impossible to read the VIN anyway.

Registration? How I do that? My Tecate is like from 20 different trikes and is 23 years old. Can I just throw my Quad plate on it or something? Why do I have to even worry about it.

[Bryan Raffa]

dont matter how many bikes it's made from.. its the vin on the frame.. call the local sheriff's office and ask them to send a cop over with a VIN Verification form or do a trace of the vin and have the cop sign it.. that and a bill of sale..I had my olady write that for $50.

now as for a lost plate .. also I have to have a cop come over and verify that its missing..DMV wont do nothing until I do that.

im gonna register mine this year, better safe then sorry i guess. i have never ridden with my bikes registered or insured, usually go outlaw style, but i have heard the dec will be cracking down this year on the lakes.

[Bryan Raffa]

My boat is reg.. but not insured..and have wreaked havoc up and down the lake.. pulled over many time's never once been asked for proof of insurance.. why should a trike be any different IMO.. you right better safe than sorry..

[Bryan Raffa]

just found out that honeoye lake froze over last night..hope it stays to make more...

Hey Raffa

Let me know how it goes....getting out by you is an "easy sale" on the wife! I have one of those 14 hour per day demanding jobs so I don't get away often, but can get away on MLK weekend. That is the first 3 day weekend I can do in January because we have off that day.

[Bryan Raffa]

will do..the next lake over is only 20-30 away from ny house..

[Bryan Raffa]

hey chris that same lake puts on a winter carnival also..Im trying to get ahold of a buddy of mine who is involved with it, to see if we could be a part of it,,they have drag races,cars,quads over there..drive right out on the lake and unload..

Last year they were planning on having motorcycle races (oval) but there was a problem with the ice getting too thin I think and I don't think that they had them. Before that, they never had head to head racing because the insurance for that would be cost prohibitive. Instead, they had you go down a strip one machine at a time and they recorded your MPH. I'm assuming they broke it up into classes and the fastest MPH won. I think that when they tried to have the bikes racing last year, it was an AMA event and we are not welcome in them. That's the biggest reason I never joined the AMA. The winter carnival is hosted by The Breezy Point Inn, their web site is useless but it does have a phone number that you can call for more info. I'm going to try to swing by there and see if they have any fliers made up for it yet. We usually hang out towards the NY/NJ state line at The Castle Tavern since its far enough away from the village that the local cops don't pester us and they have more parking there. Hopefully it comes together this year.

I have 10" rims, and am looking for an 18x10x10 tire? I was just wondering where the best prices are for these tires. I saw a few sets studded up on E-Bay now but I think they are for an 8" rim? Do the Studs penetrate all the way through the tires? Whats a good length stud? We just did wood screws back in the day. Got to buy these parts before my money gets pissed away. Still need to figure out a good front tire. Maybe the Front max would be a good Ice tire. But I dont want to stud up a new $70 tire. Any suggestions for that big fat front tire.

Um, It doesnt look good for my tire choice. I have a 4x156 mm rim pattern and 10" ITP rims. Do I need 4x110mm rim pattern to get the smaller rims and tires?
