calling out the armchair racers,all talk no ride

[3leggeddog]

so it seems that everyone is all about supporting trikes right?thats the talk anyway.we have posted up lots of dates for rides and races.yet it seems i see the same people show up everytime.what is it gonna take to get some people out to these events.we don't always ride local.we have been to pa. to ride with speedbump,wellsville numerous times,but yet the only people that come to ride with us is our crew.i know not everybody can make it too every event,but i would just like to see a few more of us supporting the sport we love.

so the gailion flat track,and mx races are coming up soon.i would love to see how many trikes we can get there.there are tons of details in the local riding forum.i still offer a place to sleep for anyone traveling far.all in attemps to get more people to come out and have fun,meet members for the board,support the trikes,and possibly get a trophy.you don't have to be a experinced racer,just show up and have fun.hopefully this thread will be seen more here than in the local riding forum.there is still a week to plan.i'm calling out the enitre 3ww community.saddle up,i know my rough riders will be there to represent.

I would definately come to more places, but the problem is I don't have my liscense yet and all I have is my SX.. lol. If I can get my hands on an R or 350X by the time I get my liscense, you can count me IN in most everything you guys do in central PA.

[2strokepwer]

If I had the money, I would be there. :cry:

[Xowner]

hmmm 150 miles away what dates are you guys planning? anything set in stone yet?

[Derrick Adams]

Sept 17th and 18th. Flat track on Saturday, MX on Sunday!

Cinncinatti is less than 2hr from here. ( I live 5 minutes from the track) The short-cut is to take Rt.4 from Dayton all the way to Bucyrus, then jump onto Rt.30 for 5min to Rt.598. Once on Rt.598 it's just 1/2mile from the exit ramp!

Just picked up my 18" lawnmower tires for the flat-track. :naughty:

[Tri-ZNate]

Some of us Pa and NY people come out for the drags but there never seems to be any harescrambles or flat track races around here.

[Xowner]

any one coming by cincinnati ohio i could pool with will help with gas

[Dammit!]

Get something going in the Southwest and I'm in. :p

[brendan802]

I live in Vermont and would love to hook up with fellow trike lovers. All of my friends ride quads so it isn't as fun as riding trikes is. Come to Vermont and I'll show you the Green Mountains and awesome trails in this state. :w00t:

[OldSchoolin86]

Well I might be in next year when I finish my trike but galion is 8hrs from here, I don't think I could make it a regular thing.

[350Xhilaration]

Sorry guys. As much as I'd love to, I can't make it this year. I just got home yesterday from a week of being on travel for work. Too many things going on right now. We're getting ready to put our house on the market and need a few small things fixed up. My weekends are gonne be tied up for a lil while.

Hopefully we can do a Fall ride out here when the leaves turn color. It's a great time to ride in the woods. I did a 2 hour ride last weekend and found some super hills and nice trails. The trails ran through some massive ravines. They had nice terraced trails that gradually took you to the bottom then back up the other side. Some places had some nice climbs straight up. It wasnt a good day to go to the ER, so I didnt try any of them. Looked down from the top and they were steep, twisty, rocky, rutted, and there were tons of trees on the way up. The area is about 4 miles from me. I had a tour guide that I can call up and he'd be glad to help me get back to the same area. You guys would like it.

[3leggeddog]

i think we are planning a fall ride with max,derrick,charlie,andrew,and myself.hopefully mr.and mrs. seadoo will attend also.prolly late oct.

[sandpuppi101]

Hey I am with you on the getting together and ride but I am gonna be loaded with work for the next few months anyway.But I have to say ,I could hopefully organize alot of Michigan riders and maybe we could do something as far as a ride .I had a ride on the 27th of August and only 1 person from the forum came ,dissappointed,Hell no Jsweinhart came and we had a good ole time,just make sure you guy's don't miss the annual next year!!! We can't organize without organizing now can we!!!

[3leggeddog]

[seadoo650]

i think one of the main problems is this board is so wide spread thrue out the country....not many of us can afford to take such long rides every weekend....and now with the gas prices its just gonna get worst

[LonesomeTriZ]

I would love to make it to more events, but gas and deisel prices suck right now. We have a ride coming up in November here in Florida, That is all I can do for right now. After December when I graduate, I hope to meet more of my fellow trikers when I have the money to do so. :w00t:

[3leggeddog]

keep me posted on the florida ride.if you can help with a place to stay,i would love to come down there with the mrs. and ride.let me know

[LonesomeTriZ]

Check out the Rumble in dixie sticky in the riding thing or what ever it is. There is a long detailed thread there. We would love to have you join us. :beer

[bigyellow4x4]

next year maybe long trip but if we coudle plain a big bike race i would trave out was thinking maybe tf06 or so ? when will we see you guys and gals may the trip to OR state for the dune ride?

[SpeedBump]

Well, I am all for the Dunes. I usually try to make it out to some riding area far off every year. This year was supposed to be TrikeFest, but ran into some troubles with the X-Wife. I have been over to Ohio with 3Leg and the guys. Went out to the Rumble and had a blast too. Made it the whole way over to Little Sahara, OK for a DuneTrip (20mintues of riding and my engine went). I would REALLY love to make it up to the OR coast for some riding. From seeing all the pics and videos, it looks like the PERFECT riding. Trails, dunes and good people. That is a BIG drive and to be honest, If I would be comin THAT far, It would have to be a 2 week event for me. I couldn' live with my self if I didn't at least stop in Idaho, spend a couple days and ATTEMPT a run up Choke Cherry @ St Anthony's.

As far as the Races in Gallion, I had a blast there. Like lots of other guys here, busy busy busy. I am in the middle of some remodeling that HAS to be completed by the cold weather. I have only managed to get out riding maybe 2 times since the Ohio Crew came to my place. I NEED to get out and do some riding again ** the snow flies, but trying to find the time is hard. Forgive me fellas !!! LOL!

(BTW, I did get away Sunday for a few hours of Drag Racing. Started at 5, was finished by 9. Here (http://www.kawieriders.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16232) is a link to a few pictures. Only 1 trike, 84 250R with a HORRIBLE rider. Lost to a BLASTER and a 300EX and that ended his night. As 3 Leg would say...didn't "represent" very well. )

[3leggeddog]

man craig i will get back over to your place brfore the snow flies.maybe end of oct.,early nov.?hows that souund with you and mrs bump?i know my crew will come and REPRESENT ohio style.let us know
