I would really like to see more of the property.

This weekend is supposed to be the spring ride and camp with night riding also.

Should be fun.

Finals week starts soon, ill be lucky to get out on the bike within two to three weeks. I started doing all the busy work over the weekend so I wouldn't have to worry about it during the cram session that is finals week but it turns out I have to work a bunch this weekend so all the time I saved is already taken up but school will be out soon and summer is nearly upon us

I have never been night riding! I have to do that sometime.

I have been out there quite a few nights on the quad.

I grew up out there and at night is a whole different situation. You think you know where you are and then you have to think about it.

i am gettin to know the joint a lil better every time we go. but i am not the person to follow. that would be rick. he is our fearless leader. i know he is gettin tired of it... but i hate being out front. hate feeling like i am holding the group up.

you 4 stroke guys don't wanna be behind me anyways... you can't see shit thru all the smoke!!

Tim that camera does a great job .

does do a decent job, better than i thought it would. and i got an idea on how to improve sound too.... just gotta find my cordless drill.

Nice roost at the top of that nasty hill RoadDad. That put the exclamation point on that climb!



I am gonna wear ruts in the road between here and Redbird this summer. Man that place has got some of everything goin on.

Here's my first action post. Points given for guessing the spot.

Hint: It rhymes with MellowWood.

Thanks to Dan for the pic.

Anyone wanna ride moto supreme tomorrow ???

[tpar1220]

i had to make a run to brownstown today for a couple things, thought... i am right next door to kneekicker, maybe he would be up for a ride when i finish up what i had to do. luckily.... he had some time to kill.


we stopped at a mexican joint for a bite to eat before heading out, neither of us had eatin there before, we were both hoping we would not regret this about an hour later or so. luckily, all was ok..

we found some good stuff that i had not ridden before, and a couple things we are gonna check out later. seems everytime we ride together.... we both wind up soaked.



when i got back home i had to cut some grass then got dr out, i had just replaced fenders and tail light along with new bars and clamps.

thinking maybe if i get things done around here in time tomorrow.... maybe i will get dr out for a spin..








hopefully i can all this crap done, i really wanna get this thing out for a while...

I didn't ride much today just under 65 miles......I know WOW!!!!


I had plans on riding to local MX track and watching the first moto's then head out somewhere,well as my luck normally goes I pull in just as the ambulance is loading up a guy to take to hospital so race is on hold till ambulance gets back.

Now it's like 15 min to hospital from track so I figure 1/2 hour and it should be back,so I walk around the place,then walked around the track,then ate a hotdog and had a Mountain Dew. Forty five minutes goes by and no ambulance so I think maybe I will leave then come back.........no if I leave I will never make it back and the ambulance should be back in a few minutes. Well that hotdog was pretty good so I tried one more and put some Jalapenos on it which was tasty.....still no ambulance. Walked over by my bike and a guy was sitting on it(no big deal it's a KLR) so that struck up a conversation about dual sports we talked for about 20 minutes which made the total wait on the ambulance 1hr 40mins.


But finally they got bikes back to the line. Look at the kid standing straight up.

They were getting pretty good air out of these doubles and the table top....they are pretty much the biggest jumps at Hoosier Hilltoppers for the most part the track is pretty mellow.





I noticed this guy looked behind himself every time at the same place....funny thing is he was dead last nobody anywhere around him from the drop of the gate



These 3 guys rode a pretty good race in a couple motos,kept it pretty close.


Not many girls out today but tried to catch a few pics.



This is getting a little better.......need warmer weather

i can't believe it... u actually got the camera out!!! makin good on that new years resolution huh...

[tpar1220]

i got the rest of grass cut today and took dr out for a spin. rode south of town for a while and wound up coming into nashville from backway... figured i made it this far, midas well try and find this cool road rick showed me yesterday. it shows up on gps as a road, but turns from paved to rock to dirt to grass... then basically a trail till it comes out by someones driveway.

soon as i got to the grass spot i spotted a tractor workin the field... he stopped.... i thought the jig was up, then he continued on.... so did i.



for some reason 2nd video shut off by itself, dunno why... maybe batteries were low. but trail lasted maybe 2 more minutes and comes to end, but this road is pretty cool.
