Oklahoma ADV Riders BS Thread

I got a HF tire changer for sale. $30.

I think that I used it twice. I been doin it on the ground so long that it seems easier that way. I had it sold once before and the guy never came and git it.

I also have a sear 7.75 hp, 2700 psi pressure washer. I don't use it like I thought that I would. Maybe 3 hours of use on it. $400 new. I'll take $200.




I will NOT ship either one. I am 25 miles SE of Tulsa.

Rode that route today just to check it out. Pretty nice easy ride. Planning on joining you guys along with some other inmates from Arky. I did a return route back on different gravel roads ending up back at Natural Falls.

Ride report from today is here:

Excellent RR mdawg. Thanks

Dibs on the tire changer. Let me know when I can come pick it up. It's been a while since I've been out there, so I'll probably need you to pm me your address again just to make sure I don't get lost

I get home about 5 or 5:30. Any time is fine. I'll pm you my phone number and address.

My Sat trip to Byrds, AR was delayed until this morning but Im off as soon as it's all loaded up.
Staying through Tuesday if any of ya'll are looking for a dirtbike ride.
Im taking my wr450 and mountain bike.

take your rain gear!

Nicely done mdawg12 !!

Mdawg12, looks like a nice morning ride, thanks for the RR.

Rode almost the same route this Summer only in the opposite direction and didn't cross the low water bridge. We did cross the Old bridge (New bridge in mdawg12s RR) and went through the Nickles Game area. Split with the others at the other end near Combs bridge (Truss Bridge) and rode by the Bathtub rocks to Briggs then continued through Welling, Dry creek and Cookson. Hope to make this ride and meet some of the other riders in the area.

Skiatook lake is so low that you can ride in it

I drove by the lake Monday. I think most of the old highway is exposed and rideable.

Skiatook is down 12 feet, my home lake Tenkiller is down 9 feet, and Fort Gibson is down 7 inches.....WTF? :huh

people in Ft Gibson know not to drink the water!

Different watersheds and different water management. We have a place on Ft. Gibson and I think they jack with it the most.

Also doesn't hurt that it looks like this often.

yeah..it could be worse!

Grand and Hudson are GRDA (Grand River Dam Authority) lakes. Ft. Gibson is managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers, as are many of the other Oklahoma reservoirs.

Like Rick said, each reservoir has rules and goals governing how the water is managed. Water allocation, hydropower, and flood control are only three factors considered...

Oklahoma is in a 2-year drought and the Grand River watershed extends into Kansas and Missouri, which could help explain why those lakes have relatively "more water".

Oh I did.
