[QUOTE="Nestrick, post: 901492, member: 45162"] [See below left] Here’s a better shot of the CRF-450X … I was drooling! The bike sits a bit lower than my 02 CRF-450R … is a little heavier based on my impressions of just sitting on it … is much narrower across the tank and started crisply via the E button! I was amazed at how little sound emerges from the motor … even blipping the throttle half way, it’s so quite it’s almost scary. The fellow was moving up from an XR-400 … this was basically his first ride in any real dirt … he just couldn’t believe how powerful the 450X felt relative to his old XR-400. [See below right] Last shot is my jeep setting in the small scramble area on the southern end of the South loop where it emerges onto Grim Road … as you can see, in the open and higher areas the sand is beginning to dry out … however, what you don’t see as that every hole in the ground is filled with ice and water mixed with a good dose of mud. It looks to me like we are in for another [B]“banner year”[/B] at the Gladwin Trail. Not only is the North loop still closed, but the crazies are out in force to boot! No wonder the DNR wants this area closed to motorized use … while riding around I could see quad tracks leading into the woods at virtually every possible entry point within two to three miles of the trail head … the tracks were all over Center Fire Lane road, both north and south of M-61 … and I saw several “No Motorized Vehicle” signs that were obviously run over by a quad. If folks do not obey the markings then it will certainly be all that much harder to convince the DNR to reopen the North loops … and that would be a shame because the North loops are the only ones I really feel are worth riding on a bike … the South is mostly deep sand that is totally whooped out all summer long. Thought you folks might enjoy a trail update … even if I didn’t try to ride yet! terry nestrick :cool: [/QUOTE]
