Sunday 12/4/05 Street legal riders only

[R7]

Meeting at 10am for a ride, PM me for location and directions
You MUST have a street registered bike and the trails are dualsport friendly for the most part The pace will be mellow/moderate as we are still searching for the rest of the trails. I know there were side trails off that one trail with all the rocks and hills... haha We will ride to the nearby gas station for a fuel and lunch stop

Those who have gone the past couple weekends know where it is so don't PM me and just show up

Snow is in the forcast This could get interesting

[TheIglu]

I'm out, 3 inches doesn't sound like fun with a little guy and a huge bike. Enjoy the fun!

[R7]

Yeah, I'm out It's supposed to turn to rain and sleet around noon time so it's gonna be cold and wet

This could be it for me until after the holidays

I was just gonna send you a PM saying the same thing. Smart move I think considering it's a 1.5 hour ride to get there for me.

Can't wait till the next time though.

What kind of screws do I need to get and where can I buy them?

I got the "gold" ice screws from my local dealer. It takes about 500 total but you'll want 2 different sizes/ I put 5/8" in the rear tire and 1/2" in the front. The knobs on the front aren't as deep as the rear so you may puncture it if you use the 5/8" on the front. 1/2" in the rear will probably rip out much sooner, I know they came out on Todds YZ last year after about an hour.
You can get them in bags of 250, I think they are $20 a bag.

I'm going to hold off until after the holidays to stud mine because I don't have any free days to ride until January now, we'll see what the snow looks like that time of year

I bought mine at performance cycles last year but I have also seen them at Motorsports in auburn. I wouldn't wait to buy them as they will sell out quick once it gets colder.

I put one screw in every nob on the front

and for the rear I put one screw in all of the square knobs on the "side " of the tire and 3 in all of the center rectangle ones and 2 in each of the other smaller center ones.

usually takes a couple hours to do both tires with a cordless drill and a 1/4 '' driver bit.

Then in the spring just back them all out and you can ride on the same tire in the dirt.

We went last yera on a lake near me. Someone had plowed out a circle track. It would be cool if we could get someone with a plow to plow out a road course on the ice . Anyone have a plow for their 4 wheeler? Or want to take their truck out on the ice when it gets thick enough??

Thanks Mark and Sean,

Do you do anything for your boots?

I didn't last year and won't this year unless there is a different type of ice. Half the fun was slamming your foot down on the ice in the corners as a glide, sorta like getting your knee down on a bike I guess I have read where some guys do put a couple of screws in their boots though.

Also, you can go on any ice with a public boat ramp as long as you at least have a offroad registration
