    Haha, I think trials stuff might be a bit extreme on an XR650L. I was actually thinking more along the lines of a fairly basic trail that just uses the natural terrain. Nothing complicated, or requiring much effort to build.

    .

    I was planning on Rocky Hill in the morning with my son. Then the wifey was gonna pick him up at lunch time and I was going to ride the rest of the day. So if you're up for it I'll be there. Let me know though because I'll bring the grill and some food and shit!

    there's plenty of that stuff in VT, no need to have it at the new pad.

    Not unless you know people with trails on their property and have permission to use them... There are no publicly-accessible trails in Vermont that allow motorcycles. The snowmobilers have seen to that. We're limited to Class 4 roads, or the aforementioned private property.

    It's cool though, it was just a suggestion.

    Re: Will work for MX!

    mark, you seem like a happy-go-lucky kinda guy...

    seriously though, there are many places to ride, where nobody knows you're even there.

    if I get back into trails much, I'd be happy to go on some adventures with you.

    You're getting to know me already!

    There are definitely a few spots where the landowners don't seem to care, such as the area up in Milton. I've heard about some trails in Hinesburg as well where people look the other way. But it's pretty hit or miss -- I've been hassled by landowners even on Class 4 roads, which may look abandoned but are still a public right of way.

    Sorry if I'm coming off as a bit sour, it's just a frustrating issue. Like I said in another thread, it's irritating that Vermont has no public riding areas, whereas you'll find a public trail all the way across Newfoundland, or running alongside the road on the north side of the St Lawrence, with lots of smaller trails branching off. It would be nice if we had those kinds of resources here.

    Like I said though, I was just making a suggestion; sorry to hijack your thread. And Doc and I know each other well enough in person to pick on each other a little on the forum.

    Interested in seeing what kind of lay-out you're thinking of...

    If I find work back home (Burlington) I would definitely want to help with this.
