Rode the 84 BR 20 miles round trip to my friends campsite across Cold Lake. I woke up the next day a little stiff......OK really stiff. I guess it didn't help that the ice was rough. A BR 250 might be in my future:D

Took my 250SX from poison springs, UT across the Dirty Devil river, to Angle rock pass and then back in one day (15 hours). My friend who was also with me said we went 70 mile by his odometer.

I remember when i was younger i rode shotgun on what is my 200x today, and rode from my house to a creek that is in the next county three towns away. There's a pipeline that runs almost all the way there. That was a lonng time ago.

When We go up to northern Wisconsin we almost always ride 50-100 miles in a da. Leave the truck at & and back by 2. One day we did 200 miles but it was alot of RailRoed beds

You have that long ride up there, huh Pete? Where you go all though the mountains fallowing an old rail road? That'd be cool to ride in (like packing in on mules) with a tent and cooler. We can easily ride for 8+ hours a day, but stop to eat, gas up, and pick up cool stuff we find etc.. My kids even eat lunch alot sitting on their trikes, lol.

I rode 40 miles on my 350X at Hatfield McCoy - then about 40 miles at Rogers ride in one day also. Locally a bunch of us went 50 miles one night on trails. I was on my XR650L - but one of my riding pals did it on an 84 BR - crazy! Lots of other 3 wheelers were on that trip.

man that was a hellish ride!!!! My KFX700 vforce ran out of gas like 3 miles from the campsite on the return trip, nothing like stealing gas from the trikes to get my gas hog whale of a quad back to camp lol that ride was HARDCORE!!!!! took ALL day to just go out and back. that was intense to say the least.

Do you remember how far we rode in the woods at sundpupis ride back in 08? where we did that massive ride and by the time we made it to the half way point for "lunch" it was getting dark and we just called the calvary to come pick all 20 of us and our bikes up lol that was insane too

Went 120 miles in a day from Hurley WI to lake Superior and back, then rode south to Island Lake and back. Did I mention this was on the ytm-200, was a day an a half. Beauty of staying in Hurley WI there was six titty bars waiting our dollar bills with lots of beer to coax the pain away :) Great trip. Longest ride on the 200x was about 100 mi round trip, did a few of them so far.

Too funny. Nothing better than some t%&y's to keep the pain at bay. Is the TYM-200 a hardtail?

Yep Hard tail all the way. I managed to sink it in a pond that day too! Drained the air box, exhaust, and carb out and we were back on the trail after we pull started it with my cousins 4 wheeler. She's tough old beast.

Hang, I'm so jealous of where yall live, it's got to be amazing to just get out and ride in that big of an area. I can get out and ride on people I knows property, but it's normaly a few hundred acres of woods at a time, not something like half a friggin state.

That sound like a fun trip Its 5 hrs to drive to Hurley for me! On my way up to Superior last april to get my 86 R the trails north of Chippewa falls looked awesome to ride on! We never made it up there cuz there was major wash out and flooding all last summer. Atleast with the Wisconsin budget cuts there should be less DNR I hope plus I hope they rewrite some of the rules.

I have never rode the Chippewa Falls trails either. The trail from Hurley north to the big lake was awesome. Pretty easy trail that you can ride fast, half way up there there is a nice big sand pit to rip around in. IDK if it was legal or not but everyone else did it so we did too lol. The big pond I sunk the YTM in was right along the trail too, fun to mud around in there.

The trail south from Hurley to Island Lake was a slow going all mud trail, lots of fun through there. Deep mud holes with logs and stuff to go over, it was raining the weekend we went too so everything was real fresh. I would advise don't take any show pieces up to Iron county, they all come out rust red and it's a Be0t@h to clean things up.


I usually ride the trails in Price county, and Ashland county, our cabin is just outside of Park Falls and the trails around they are fantastic. I love riding that area, you get a variety of everything.
