I went riding today with fellow board member Big Mike. When I stopped at the gas station on the way there a guy came up to me and said "I haven't seen a Big Red this nice in a long time". I almost smacked him.

I would again like to thank Todd (200Xman) for building such a nice machine.

These are all pictures of Big Mike. He only crashed twice today. (newbs) On a side note, an SX electric start will not work with the bike in gear. Once the bike is in neutral and the starter works, you still have to have the killswitch in the "run" position before the bike will start. Right Mike?:lol:

Killswitch needs to be set to run. Roger on that. Wish my friend had of thought of that before I had to tow him 3 miles back to the trucks before he realized thats all that went wrong.

Looks like a great place to play.

Thanks John for the public embarrasment, JERK!!! As for the riding yesterday it was fun except for the crashes, but like John said I am a newb. Where we were riding is just the tip of the iceberg, we can go for miles and miles on those trails and run into lots and lots of sandpits. It is a great place to ride, it has all sorts of terrain, trails, riding surfaces, etc. I would love to get more trikes out there, so I can learn some more riding tips from more experienced guys. My biggest problem is hills now, I almost have the cornering down, the hills are killing me!!!!

Cool forest in the back.

OK Shane. This particular ride was a last-minute deal. My buddy had asked me the night before and I was drunk. I had forgotten about it when he called me the next morning. I was tired, hungry, and hungover, but I dragged my arse out there anyways. Next time we'll make plans.
