Northeastern Minnesota

HUMMMM I'll dream of an 88 NX 250 for $30.00. I'd be up for going, I'll drive my truck so we have room for all the bargains to haul back. We could even stop for pie!

I have to swing down to Duluth tomorrow. I'm going to stop in at Sir Ben's if anyone else is interested, I'll be there around 6-7pm.

I've got to get new rubber on my truck and pick up some steel. If i can get tires ordered I'll see you there.

Tbickner and I are debating between going to Nemadji or Paul Bunyan State Forests on Sunday to ride some single track. It's supposed to be a nice day. We were looking for feedback on the amount of snow in the woods in these areas. I know I who can give me an official report for the Akeley area and a good guess would be helpful for the Nemadji (just S. of Duluth) area.
Anyone else who wants to join us is welcome.

I can't say for sure, but I drove up from the Cities on Sunday after most of the snowfall. It didn't start to accumulate until around Hinckley. So south of Duluth might not be too bad, especially in the low lands. And yes, I am interested, so long as my carb jets show up this week!

Truck down to Superior, Gandy Dancer to Nemadji...

Hey guys/ladies, I live in Duluth and last week I traded my 2008 KTM Super Duke in to Starr Cycle in Mankato for a 2012 KTM Adventure. I can't wait to get out and ride it this spring and I will definitely be looking forward to meeting up with all of you and riding in areas that the Super Duke didn't allow.

Nice to meet you too! C-Zulu and I would agree, you made a good choice going with a KTM Adv. Stay tuned, I'm going to host a movie night in a couple weeks, we're going to show the new Trans Am Trail DVD. It would be nice to meet you then.

We decided on Nemadji. We will look at the single track and the snow, if it's impossible we will be doing the ATV trails. The goal will be to be active and warm.
We're going to trailer there. I'm sure temps will be in the 30's all day. If you rode the GandyDancer (illegally in WI) to Nemadji, I'd be impressed.
I have a lot of keilin main jets for the FCR if that will persuade you to come.

Parts of northern wisconsin(brule,lake nebagomon) received a foot of snow last week.

From what I saw and what Arrowhead Rider just said about WI, I think Nemadji State Forest is a good bet. C-Zulu want to carpool Sunday? I can bring my trailer.

Great, another big ktm to ride with! I can never quite tell if my quiet klr single cylinder started or not with JW or Czulu's noisy twins idleing next to me!

Excellent, definitely keep me posted about the movie night. I've only ridden the bike 130 miles and I'm already in love with it, I can't wait to hone in my skills off road and most likely see how well the crash cage was built

Sounds like a lot of fun. I'll be out hunting, or I'd be in for this ride.

By the way, the northern section of the Gandy Dancer on the Wisconsin side - everything you'd be riding - is open to ATVs, but Todd may be right on the closed to OHM part. Out of the cobwebs in my mind, I'm remembering a DNR Warden giving some dirt bikers a very hard time about this during a past deer season. It is definitely closed to cars and trucks. The Straight Arrows should be up to speed on whether it's open to OHM's on the WI side.

Also, On the MN side, parts of it might be closed to everything but snowmobiles as of Saturday, December 1. I haven't been there in a couple years, so I can't remember where/how everything is signed.

Nemadji is open year around for motorcycles except on snowmobile trails. I'm not expecting enough snow for any snowmobilers to complain or care.
GandyDancer is not open to Motorcycles in Wisconsin. Although most of the roads around it are dirt.
C-zulu. I recommend the "small" bike. Some of the trails are pretty tight, although I'm curious to what they look like without the leaves and foliage.

Lutz, bring your blaze orange and do some scouting on your KLX.

Parts arrived for the 450 Sunday might be a go, I'll get a hold of you.

I've been following this website to check out snowcover in Minnesota. Seems like snow is slowly fading. Thought it would be a good resource to share with anyone planning a trip someplace. It's udated hourly.

That website must not be to accurate because a friend from work got in contact with someone who was at Nemadji today and this person said the trails were wet but not much snow.

Snow cover report for all of Texas. NO SNOW. Temps. the next 3 days--82 degrees. Anyone interested in riding south this week-end????

Hey, I had to post that info. Your summers are great whereas our summers Suck. But, our winters are very nice and yours are not as kind. Everything equals out....
