    #1 looks like the boat launch at Wingina. #2 is also route 56 just south of the river.

    I might take a little spin tomorrow.. Was there much salt/sand on the road?

    Rte 56 was clear all the way through to Rte 11 except for the marbles VDOT spread on the road for the snow that didn't happen.

    It's a Hyde Racing Sump Guard from South Africa. Check out the threads on Stomtooper.com. Give me a call if you want to see it first hand. PM me if you don't have my number.

    I was out yesterday, too. Just putting around some local roads and trails on the DRZ, then a little trials-ing on the Cota.

    Crabtree area? Where's that, and would the TE 510 be to large? I may be interested.
    Thanks,

    You've got to have tags on it, forest roads are state roads and rangers can get you otherwise. I don't know much about a TE510 other than it's the high zoot Husky but I expect it will be great.

    Watch this thread the week before.. if the weathers not too bad we'll work up a plan.

    Try the Shoe Creek trail. Heads south from the top of Crabtree Falls to the Piney River.

    2. I wouldn't want to subject my weestrom to that kind of beating. Lots of rocks and me with no bash plate. yet. Plus there's some hairy single track side trails that I'd never try on it. I have an XR400 w/ street tags that I'll pull up there in a trailer with my brother and some friends.
