zizard,

you have a PM.

the way they've been going at it, you'd swear they had a date behind the bathroom door with a can of mace. Qimg src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif" border="0">img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif" border="0">

Geez guys, get over it already.

In fact one of the DNR guys said he thought you were just coasting around or Big SLed was pulling you with a strap because he couldn't hear yours running.. you must have dumped some paint on him!

Posted by: MNRAP

If you are driving north on I94, then you can take this route to get to the trailhead in Eau Claire County.

Is it 19 miles from US10 & I94 intersection.

Don't forget to make sure your quads are topped off with fuel before arriving. I think we may be able to pick up some extra trail maps for you guys also.

Not sure what happend @ the end there.. BS & myself were also held up by the chopper, A emt said it was going to be 30 to 40 mins B4 thay took off so we went around, It's a good thing we did, found Tapper looking like a lost puppy. then he ran out of fuel & had a battery problem.



DaD WTF is up w/ you??????? Did we not have a talk about roosting past people????

The nex time I get yelled @ by some very pissed off old balled guy that you spit rocks @ his little grils & himself/wife I'm going to tie your ass to a tree & roost by ya intill I bury your ass J/K (what was up w/ that anyway??)



Bio was that guy on a atv??? & did ya see anything on the news about it??



Glad you guys made it back ok......


That is the biggest crock of $hit!


The next time some poor SOB races me down a fire road and gets his a$$ whipped and then tries to say I spit a rock at him will need the ER. This dick was some lame moron who started racing me down a straight section after I started to pass him in third gear. He was all mouth, just like the guy that was off his quad yelling at you. After after about 5 minutes I got off my quad and asked him about his REAL problem. He then crawled back into his mouse hole and shut up.


When I arrived at sign post 16, where we all were going to meet, no one was there. I waited for a while and then got sick of arguing with the sore looser on the Raptor. Went up to the next sign post, rode right past the copter and waited an hour there for everyone. Met up with Bioware, Zizard and decided to back track looking for you, BS and Tapper. Went all the way back to #13 and did not find anyone.

I did not see anymore accidents on my return route back to the trucks.
Where about was the second accident?

I hope both of them are doing well after what has happend [IMG][/IMG]



So like you guys were one of the 1st people @ the accident w/ the guy???



Well im glad it was not any of you guys.. when we came up on the 1st one, I was worried it might have been 1 of are party...



DaD what happen to you???? Get chased by any cops or dnr guys????

Just askin b/c some people were lookin for your #'s




Hey why did you leave before everyone got back?

I took my truck out looking for the other three riders thinking they ran out of gas. I backtracked about 15 miles and did not find them so BS and I decided to head to August to get fuel for the quads and then return to look for the rest of the group. We got a call from them when we were just about to the lot to unload again and go look.

You split kinda earlier there group rider! What if you never made it back and we all left without looking for you?

Wasn't too happy knowing I spent over an hour looking for you and BS and an hour waiting at the trailhead only to find out you split without knowing what happened to the rest of the group.

Posted by: MNRAP

Dude

You are taking bits of infomation and quoting them leaving out important details.

I'll post a chronological list of what transpired when I have time so you know every step of what transpired.

As for some guy saying I spit rocks... if you want to listen to that garbage then go ahead. Did he show you where he got hit by some rocks? The only guy I passed from sign 13 to 16 and that was the guy on the raptor trying to race me down the fire road. I never passed the other 4 guys in our group because they got lost and were half way to Neilsville.

I did not need extra gas because I was sitting waiting not driving my quad until I finally met up with the three guys that never showed at #16. I then rode back to #13 looking for you, BS and Tapper (took another hour).

Why didn't you just give Tapper directions to get to I94 or give BS some of your gas to go look for the rest of us?

Well I wasn't to happy taking $hit from ANOTHER guy pissed off @ you for spitin rocks @ his family again...An it sure did not look like BS liked it either..



.....




Are you painting or what.... you taking $hit for me spitting rocks ... as I remember it, the last guy that tried to hit us at CLark county while we were parked waiting for everyone was yelling at YOU for spitting rocks at him! NOT ME. How's your memory working these days?

When I actually spit rocks at some guy,, they will have marks on them to show where they were hit... not a bunch of hun-yucks having their ego blown by being passed by someone and then attempting some drunk bar room yelling in an attempt to reinflate their deflated ego.

bottom line is BS didn't want to lead anymore so the new guys had to use the map with teh intent of everyone getting some clean dust free riding!

Posted by: MNRAP

A few of us will be riding this Sunday. If anyone is interested in meeting up PM me.

Shawn, Todd.. call me if you are interested.

Forecast calls for rain to start later tomorrow afternoon, continue throughout Saturday night and be nice on Sunday. Should eliminate most of the dust during the day for riding.

Posted by: MNRAP

So far me (Mike) and Dustin (friend with an LTR) and you.

Maybe Todd??? Kevin??

We plan on meeting at McDonalds off I94 in Hudson at approximately 7:15 AM.

We can talk via cell phone sometime around 6:45 AM.

Should be ideal riding conditions with minimal dust and good traction.

Posted by: MNRAP

You guys that did not make the ride yesterday missed one of the best rides of the year.. perfect conditions, NO DUST.. three of us rode together and were able to see clearly from back to front while all within close proximity of each other.

Plus no hun-yucks getting their poor egos blown apart...


all I can say is "SURFS UP" ... you guys missed it.

No riding this weekend?

What will we tell April when you don't show up?

get a used aftermarket bumper on the Rappy to protect the a-arms just in case you need to go into the woods again to take a quick $hit..

Posted by: MNRAP

Hey BS

did you give Dabutcher his collar and leash removal tool back that he left in your truck? I'm beginning to wonder if you gave it away to someone else??

Posted by: MNRAP

Wow.. .what a day of riding.

BS and I stalked the woods for prey and all we could find was intense riding with superb conditions.. We even put down 50 miles into uncharted territory located in Black RIver Falls.. places that DaButcher has neven seen yet!! and BRF was just groomed!!! Then we added another 25 miles of route in Eau Claire county that is only known to 3 or 4 people..


GPS results for the day
205 total miles
77.9 mph max
413 feet per minute - max descent
336 feet per minute - max ascent
8621 total descent
8711 total ascent

BS.. are you really going to EBAY that collar and leash removal tool? it isn't even yours..

Idiot... it's shit like running in "uncharted territory" that gets trails pulled for all of us..../end quote>



repeat after me

open mouth , put foot in mouth again

it was "uncharted" in your limited scope of BRF and Clark county because
you were never able to ride this area as a result of:

A - your quad continually breaking down and requiring towing or

B- your quad would not have a range of more than 55 miles without running out of gas


Do you need photos to bring back your memory? (LOL)

Try reading this again..... dang that foot must taste pretty good!

Posted by: MNRAP


I have been every where on that map & then some...unlike your "uncharted" & probably illegal run, let me guess some old guy told ya about it...sounds like another steamy pile to me....come on DaD just you & 2 other people & now BS (hey BS did you have to sigh something B4 ya went down the secert trail????) know of some secret trail haha.. what did ya do to BS when ya went down that trail??? umm wait I dont want to know....


LOL Open mouth and put foot in again

you have only ridden 75% of clark county and BRF and all of it was with me guiding you so you wouldn't get lost. You just don't even know about the rest because you haven't even been there due to limitations with fuel or reliability with your poorly maintained quads.



I ran out of fuel 1 time w/ a new quad & on the 1st run... Again nice try...
u


you ran out of fuel twice with your quad and I made you take fuel in a soda bottle so you could make it back and not run out again.. REMEMBER! You never went far enough after that to run out.. ie why you haven't ridden more than 75% of each area. You were limited to just 55 to 60 miles between fuel stops.


lets see how many times hav I towed you out of clark 3x!!!! haha & even saved you a motor....hell I even think you tryed to pay me for it or did you forget?????


you have never towed me out of CLark. I towed you two times. 1- when your rear carrier bearings seized. 2- when some moron put +2 a-arms on your quad and factory length tie rods that proceeded to pull right out of the ball joints . BTW I hope that was't you. 3- when you ran out of gas in glamis because you forgot to put your fuel knob back on "on" instead of reserve. Wait you ran out of gas again?? thats three times!

Feeling at the end of your rope?


BS trying to imitate the collar and leash treatment and doing pretty good at it!



Need a bottle of mouth wash to get that foot smell out of your mouth?

you are welcome to meet up with me and others and ride it.. but no maps or GPS coordinates...


Hey BS>.. don't tell Mr put foot in mouth about the routes he has never seen unless he buys the entire group lunch, gases the quads and pays to fill our trucks for the ride home.

Posted by: MNRAP

Originally posted by: ZButcheR


O buy the way... Tell us again why dont thay ride w/ U any more?????





OK.. you want to hear..

They were so pissed at me trying to hurry back 60 miles and get my truck to pick up some dirt bag (you) after his quad failed and ruin the rest of their ride. That make you feel good?

They told me to leave your a$$ there and let you worry about finding a way back.

Guess putting 2 and 2 together was difficult for you.. now you know why they did not come back with me to find you and determine what had happened.

As for the rest of the $hit you spewed out of your trap.. I"m not even going to bother correcting your mental capacities especially when I'm talking to some puss-stick.

I have a 33 on mine but Im still looking for a little more top end, what do you guys think about a 15/33??? or even a smaller rear gear, ya guys think that the kfx could still hav some bottom end w/ that gearing?? or do ya think that gearing would be to much????

We road about 190 miles this Sunday. & I raced a few people. Stock raptor, got him from the start & was a few quads ahead @ the end. yfz450 w/hearder,pipe,sprockets, & a cam were dead even till we hit 5th & he starts to pull a way just a bit...

I have seen a few post about this quad being the worst thing that some people have ever ridden.

IMPO.. w/ the updates that i have done to mine I think atm that its 1 of the best quad's that is out there...

ANY TIME DAD.....

Umm Bullwooter & you know it...you did not even catch me till you were in 4th... the 1st time we raced i smoked UR ass i might hav got a bit of a jump on you but I did win hehe... tell every one here, What you told me about my kfx & my mods... from the last time we road come on dont be shy..

As far as the pic's what ever... I think you told me more then a few times "nice line man" as I was looking @ you stuck in the wooter...

& sure you add a power lid & open it up, your going to use more fule.. ran out of gas w/in site of the station..



Nothing like diggin your own hole and getting burried when you finish!

Myself, Zizard (James) and my friend Dave (the one that won't ride with me anymore according to Butchy) all took in a 190 mile ride including Clark County and the 50 mile secret loop in Jackson County WOW why can't the entire route be that nice.

Hun-Yuks were out in full force over the Labor Day weekend trying to determine how many beers it would take before they started on with their drunk bar talk. We had one woman yelling at James for going 10.5 mph behind me and passing her!!!!! I was using my GPS to check my speed. I think she wanted to be James mother!! Another drunk had his group of 15 parked in the middle of the trail, having a beer break, and ran out in front of me to stop me when we were coming by. He then proceeded to give us $hit and tried to start a fight with us because he thought he was Clark County Trail Boss in his drunk rage!!!!!! After the yelling escalated on our part and he found that his drunk buds were not backing him up anymore he started with the get down on your knees and apologize routine. MAN what is it with these Hun Yuks?


On the way back about 15 miles from the parking lot I came up over a rise and into a downhill right hand sweeper when out of no where a whitetail runs directly in front of me across the trail. It was running thru the woods, probably from the approaching noise and happened to cross my path at the worst moment.

I did not even have time to hit the brakes. Just braced for impact and knocked it over after hitting it with my front tire and Bill Balance Bumper. At impact I just about went over the handlebars.. nailed the knee on the front brake handlebar clamp. Fortunately the deer was knocked over and I got to log jump it. Felt lucky to have kept it in control and not go for the dismount. Quad even came thru without any damage. A-arms, plastics, headlights, shocks, bumpers were all fine. Only thing I found is the rear fuel tank bolt was sheared off..

I'm just glad it was a young small deer.. otherwise it might have ended my riding for a while.

Should have taken a picture with my camera phone.. drug it off the side of the trail so no one else would hit it. James and I were going to slit its neck but it died shortly after.

Posted by: MNRAP

Did they do a sound test on your quad? wow.. $160 .. not fun.

you should think about riding this fall.. some of the best times to ride.. crowds thin out and once the leaves are down you can see 100% better.

With two trail systems, the Snake Creek Management Unit has slopes that rise 300 feet above the valley floor. On the north side is a remote trail for hikers and cross-country skiers. There are five miles of trail loops, varying in length and difficulty. The second trail system is a 13.5-mile loop on the valley?'s south side. This is open to all trail users except four-wheel-drive vehicles. Campgrounds are available on-site and at Carley State Park.


Trout Valley Management Unit is located in northern Winona and southern Wabasha counties. The area includes Trout Creek, a spring-fed trout stream. Steep wooded ridges and bluffs flank the stream. The seven-mile Trout Valley Trail provides scenic overlooks of the Trout, Whitewater, and Mississippi River valleys.

Zizard (James) and I are heading out to Clark County Sunday and will ride down into some of BRF if we have time.

Anyone else itching to twist the throttle on Sunday.. or thumb it?

Posted by: MNRAP

James and I made it out for a 100 mile ride in Clark county on Sunday.. well James got in 50 miles.. He wanted to call it a day after testing out his Thor chest protector again. He evidently has a contract with Thor to find out just how good those chest protectors are in various types of get-offs. So far the Thor product really seams to be performaing quite well. Heck I've even tested mine (Thor also) a few times and it worked wonders.

Forgot about the last trip I made to Danbury a few weekends ago. Was heading down a long straight dirt county road at about 55 mph and to my surprise I see these two guys on quads racing almost neck and neck going by me. There was a guy on a white 660 raptor racing another guy on a white KFX. They both looked like they were in complete battle with each other. I decided to roll on the throttle and went by them just to see if I could recongnize who they were??

Anyone else see these two guys racing? I couldn't see who was winning from my angle and just thought maybe someone else saw it go down and could tell me who spanked who???

Hey BS did you see these two guys racing and do you know anything about it? one of those quads looked identical to the one in your avatar.. and to think of it..the other looked like Dabutchers KFX

mnrap, will you have to wear the helmet cam because you will always be ahead of us at about 1/4 throttle ?? i think if we wore it , it wouldnt work thru the dust. plus we could see how long you actually wait before you pass someone and spit rocks at them and their children..



I know it would have been rocking to catch that deer running out in front of me before I got fur on my front end.

BTW, I thought all the hun-yucks quit riding because of the rain and cold temps??

that Vicoden I gave you is messing up your eyesight.. thats Butcher and BS on the rock, not a log, trying to make you jealeous again!

Butcher said he would rub your shoulder just like he rubs BS's chest when it hurts!

I promise I won't take a photo and post it of you two like I did with Butcher and BS.

Zizy/James

Found some of your carnage today while out with my sweet passenger!

She asked me if you were OK to ride.. said I didn't know

Posted by: MNRAP

so this guy was on the trail again?





There were allot of hunters out driving on the quad trails so if anyone is going riding during the next couple of weeks use EXTREME caution to avoid hitting a vehicle around a blind corner.

I should have went riding both days this weekend.. sounds like you guys had a nice ride.

Posted by: klier

Sounds like a bunch of us are getting together on July 4th to ride quad over at Tri-County, and maybe a little dirt biking in another spot. I've talked to the owners and all indications are that the expansion will be completed July 1st. I personally checked the trail to "the other side" on Thursday, and it is there, and cleared. The "Stay on Trail" and "Trail Closed" signs are gone.

Post here if you might be coming!

Posted by: klier

PLEASE NOTE:

It looks like Trahan has taken back on his word about the pit opening July 1st. Right now he says he's waiting for insurance??? That is really funny, since DNR Grant-in-aid trail systems do not require the owner to have insurance. Something smells fishy here. There were a lot of upset people that were told July 1st by him, just to drive over and find that it's still closed.

At any rate, I now can't be certain if the pit will be officially opened by July 4th or not. You should consider yourself warned if you plan to come out.

On the bright side, I did see the pit expansion with my own eyes, and if you liked some of the elevation changes at Bauer's Pit, then I think you will be in for quite a treat here.

ZButcheR: I got the YFZ out to the St. Croix trails last weekend and it was a blast. Zizard and myself will probably be up for going again, hopefully after some rain! Let us know if you'll be up in the vicinity...

Sorry, I was out for Skywarn tonight...saw a rotating wall cloud out in Goodhue county. Sweet!

OK, how about SATURDAY THE 28TH?

Posted by: klier

2 more guys I usually ride with look like they are in if we go to the Danbury/Nemadji area on that weekend.

Posted by: klier

Hey guys. Yes, I'm alive. I was at the Jordan SX last night pitting for a friend of mine. The Clark/Jackson county trails sound like fun. My other friends weren't opposed to it either. Hopefully there isn't too many deeper mud holes?

My girlfriend lives in Hudson, WI so I might just be able to spend the night (hehe) and then leave early the next morning. That would get me an hour leg up anyhow...

Posted by: klier

Man, I'm feeling really young ... I don't need one of those old fart seats yet :-)

Posted by: klier

There's a few bike guys from our group that want to ride, so this weekend we might hit Arkansaw or somewhere with some jumps. I know I couldn't camp overnight this weekend anyhow... Maybe catch you guys next time!

Posted by: klier

It's so warm and snuggly in here! Haha.

Posted by: klier

I've always worried about hitting a deer out on the trail! Even came close to a bear once... Glad to hear nothing more serious happened. By the way, I loved the dune pics! I definitely need to make it out there sometime.

The whole beer thing though really scares the crap out of me. Sounds like more enforcement needs to take place since people obviously can't police themselves. If that's where all the drunks are going on the long weekends now, then I think I'll just hit the small private areas we have!

Most of the time we meet @ the Mcdonalds right B4 you go into WI around 6:30 that gets us into eau claire area about 8:30ish then about 3+ hours ride time to the lake, lunch & then back around 7 or so give or take.

Bio if ya want mybe meet us @ the trail head up north from the lake then ride down & back w/ us?????

Then those that want to stay @ the lake can & those that want to make the trek back to mn can

In fact one of the DNR guys said he thought you were just coasting around or Big SLed was pulling you with a strap because he couldn't hear yours running.. you must have dumped some paint on him!

i can use catchy phrases like " cut and run " and the ever so popular, " so we dont have to fight them on our soil " or how about " freedom isnt free "





all i wanted to do is to stablize the area for control of the oil rich middle east for my family and my second family ,saudi arabia.. boy did i screw up...

We are camping at east Arbutus lake It is not a problem we can ride up there it will be fun. That will be a good days ride then. We can keep in touch through the phones if you get reception up in the woods.

DaD WTF is up w/ you??????? Did we not have a talk about roosting past people????
The nex time I get yelled @ by some very pissed off old balled guy that you spit rocks @ his little grils & himself/wife I'm going to tie your ass to a tree & roost by ya intill I bury your ass J/K (what was up w/ that anyway??)

What??? you left B4 me & BS, you did not wait more then a few mins if @ all B/C I was right Behind the guy on the raptor when we got to the choper, then me & BS went back to 16 & found Tapper..

Why would you wait for everyone past the choper??? thats not the marker where we were to meet??

Originally posted by: MNRAP

Hey why did you leave before everyone got back?

You split kinda earlier there group rider! What if you never made it back and we all left without looking for you??


Hmmmm BS said nothing to you about Tapper needing to get going & had no idea how to get to 94???

Not all left, 2 of 7 did....

I took my truck out looking for the other three riders thinking they ran out of gas. I backtracked about 15 miles and did not find them so BS and I decided to head to August to get fuel for the quads and then return to look for the rest of the group.



Why Did you go Back out looking fo these guys??? If as you say

Well I wasn't to happy taking $hit from ANOTHER guy pissed off @ you for spitin rocks @ his family again...An it sure did not look like BS liked it either..

So UR saying you spent 2 hours of time waiting & looking for BS & I??
For 1 you did not have the fuel for another hour of ride time...
2nd that would put you to the truck @ around 8:30 you should have run into Bio & them @ the truck..

Why the hell would I sit & wait 30 to 40 mins for the chopter??? when the truck was less then 10miles away..If you would not have blowin past everyone B4 the choper & waited for BS & I You would have been w/us to get back to the truck, then you & I could of toped off (had some gas in the truck) & went looking for the rest of them but ya just blew right past & pissed like 10 people off.....

Posted by: BioWare

We can camp there again that sould not be a problem with that. Danny was the one on the 400ex. And todd sold his quad and bought a motorcycle. He was a big wimp anyway, always complained it was too wet or cold.. Let me get with Dan and see if that works for him..

Posted by: BioWare

So we are just meeting at the gas station again, in Hatfield. If so that sounds good. see all of you there. I hope that we get a little rain, we need a little mud. LOL

Posted by: BioWare

I just though that we were going to meet there. That is where it says start and ends where you guys are going to park. If you want us to meet you up there I will have to wake the boys up very early just to make it by 8:30, to ride the quads up there. We are camping at east Arbutus lake It is not a problem we can ride up there it will be fun. That will be a good days ride then. We can keep in touch through the phones if you get reception up in the woods.

I'm up for the 60 mile ride but I don't think that there is any gas station. We would run out of gas. We will most likely drive up and meet you guys.

Posted by: BioWare

Thanks for the Map MNrap that way looks faster.. See all of you on Saturday. about 8:30 ish

Posted by: BioWare

I just want everyone to know that was a great ride on Saturday. Just alot of people getting hurt on the way back. Dan, James, and I were having to wait intil they took the guy out and put him in Med Flight, that is why it took so long for us to get back. But you should of see how his leg was bent, Man it looked like it hurt. Can't wait intil next trip.

Posted by: BioWare

That guy was on a ATV, looked like he came around a corner to fast and hit the bank on the side of the trail and fliped over, from what his buddy said the quad was on top of him and he had to lift it off. His left leg was by his right ear, looked like it was dislocated and his right arm was dislocated. But he looked like a prezel.

Posted by: BioWare

Did you run into BS & DaD again????



We did not run into BS@DAD again I called BS to let him know that we made it back to the truck.

Posted by: BioWare

I did not see anymore accidents on my return route back to the trucks.
Where about was the second accident?


The second one was right past the 29 marker, we went straight, when we needed to go left. all it did was a dead end

Posted by: BioWare

I don't know anything about the street bikes. this was a quad in the woods that had fliped on top of this guy.

Posted by: BioWare

Can't we all get along. HAHAHAHA LOL

Posted by: BioWare

this is a tough call.............................well it would be a tie but..... both mnrap and zbutcher lose by default for insisting that everyone go ahead instead of leading the riders that have never been there


I understood what was up, and why they wanted to stay behind. It does not matter, I had a good ride, and the DS650 took a good beating.

All is well, quad still runs, and i have no broken body parts. I say it was a good ride.

Posted by: BioWare

Sounds like it was a good ride, sorry i missed it..

Posted by: BioWare

Is April, a red head or a blonde. Dan and I will be up Labor Day weekend camping again, Hoping for some rain to play in the mud holes.

Posted by: BioWare

I love red heads...........

So what is everyone up too... Have not heard from anyone in a while. Well I'm Going riding this weekend, don't know where but I will find a good spot.

Posted by: BioWare

I hate the drunks that go out to BRF. Glad that MNRAP, ZIZARD had a good ride. Dan and I took a Day ride to Darlington WI. on Monday. Then out of Nowhere I got a Ticket. The quad was to loud, 160.68 was the total of the fine. This sucks because I wanted to ride a Few more time before winter, and the wife said that I should take a break for a while.... Like James Told me got to pay to play.. I still had a blast...

See Ya
BRyan

Posted by: BioWare

I know it sucks, but i still had a good time riding. The wife said she will pay for the first ticket is that cool or what. Now I think that i will frame the ticket and hang it in the garage. I ordered a white bro's, Quiet core 2 to make the quad not as loud hope that it works. I can't wait to ride with you guys again. Well back to work...

Later
Bryan

Hey Guys need some help on where to ride up near duluth in the winter. I have some family coming up from alabama and thought it would be a blast to take them out riding in the winter. i am just not Sure where to take them. Is there any trails open up there or can we ditch ride. Thanks for all of your help. Oh and one other thought is there some where to go or find what counties allow ditch riding still thanks. Yes i am newbie.

Posted by: Jr454

Thanks dumb questions whats the big ride area?

Also has anyone heard of them enforcing the new reqs on having a passenger on atvs only approved for 2 riders.

Posted by: Jr454

No My daughter is almost 4 and likes to ride in front of me on are utility just 250 that i have right now. we do wear helmets just wasnt sure if that is ok on the state trails. sorry if that seemed confusing i dont own a two up.

Posted by: bigsled

klier and zizard. pick a saturday in july that you can both go. than we should decide where everyone wants to go. we will probably like to hit the highway by 7:00 a.m. or so.....1:45 min - 2:00 hr (110 miles) drive from st.paul to wherever zbutcher, mn rap, and i usually go.

Posted by: bigsled

hey jerry, hows it going ? well, i think since none of you have been to clarke county we should try that. i've ridden all these other trails and this one is the best and not as dusty as danbury. we hit the trail head right out of eau claier wi and head south to lake artibus if you want to check it out on clarke county web site...... jerry , i know the other guys i ride w/ will not want to ride, rail road beds. you should try this. you will like it, trust me. 110 miles from bleechers( st.paul ) ask your brother w/ the yfz. mnrap has a yfz. i'm sure they wouldl have a good time together seeing whose is faster

hey bryan thats cool you can go. is todd going ? get his shifter fixed yet ? lol
who was the guy behind me w/ the 400ex?
the guys here in mn have too long of a haul i think , to go to hayward. especially if we are driving back the same day. i know brian ( klier) lives near fairbult, mn so that would really be a long haul for him. mabey shawn and him could catch a ride together . shawn has been trying to get these guys out of the gravel pit for a long time now , so i think we have to keep the location more nuetral couldnt you guys camp at lake artibus again ?

when did they start checking at Danbury? I've only experienced checks in BRF.




nice photo mnrap ?isnt that bike alittle wide for the dnr ? i think what zbutcher was trying to say is he wished the dnr was checking dp levels. than you would have to take the pipe off and he could beat you

hey klier, are you willing to go w/ us to clarke county instead of danbury. i know you've been wanting to ride w/ zbutcher. and zizard is going . its a nicer trail system than danbury and alot better than nemadji, imo.



bioware, we can give you directions to where we start. that way you can come up from the lake w/ trailer, ride w/ us than trailer up and head back to lake artibus for beers



jerry, i'll call you soon.


zizard, pm me your phone # sometime and we can figure out how to share rides

i thought you guys were going to meet us where shawn and i usually start( see map)
going down to hatfield, for us, is going to throw another hour on to our drive time (round trip) we are already traveling over 2 hours that morning

those directions are street directions for you guys from your camp grounds to the trail head where we start. you would trailer your wheelers up there 20-30 min. than we would ride our quads down to hatfield and back. we go home. you go back to hatfield

Posted by: bigsled

interesting..... i talked to the DNR for clarke county yesterday and they told me both airlifts were street bike and deer collisions. willard rd. being the one bryan, james and dan got hung up at..

Posted by: bigsled

[]When I arrived at sign post 16, where we all were going to meet, no one was there. I waited for a while and then got sick of arguing with the sore looser on the Raptor. Went up to the next sign post,
Text



sounds like mnrap didnt want to stay around and argue anymore w/ the raptor he smacked all over the trail ...at 1/2 throttle ( cant blame him) i personally would have went back alittle down the trail and waited. knowing that zbutcher and myself had to be behind .. not have went ahead..and the waiting times are probably alittle exagurated

on the other hand, zbutcher gets bad marks for poor group ride manners by leaving to go home....and while bs bakes in heat w/ empty camelbak and no lighter /flint/gun/ food/gas...

this is a tough call.............................well it would be a tie but..... both mnrap and zbutcher lose by default for insisting that everyone go ahead instead of leading the riders that have never been there

should have had mnrap make you a copy of his pipe test. it basically states that the dnrs' machine is wrong..... works like a charm..he is now in the stages of drafting a report that would discredit the breathalizer, he should be able to sell alot of them to the inbread, drunks on the wi. trails..

seriously though bryan, that sucks...
