Trailfest 2007

[Fred T]

From what I've heard about Trailfest from previous years, it sounds like a great time. I'd like to make it this year. We'll see if I can get away from the school work that weekend and make a trip down from da UP.

:ride:

If you need a ride partner/ gas money person to share expenses my Son Nate is going to MI Tech and he'd come down for the weekend with ya I'll bet. :nod:

PM me your e mail addy

You could also stop by the bike shop in Marquette and pick up the reformed azzhole aka Nick. :laugh:

I had heard there was some Wild Free Range cows down that way... I guess I know where the steaks are coming from!!! Thanks for the info, that'll help in my decision on who/what to bring.

Jamie

Legally he can not ride the quad at all under 10 years of age and only then to do farm related choirs under 100% adult supervision. Can't be used for fun until 12 yrs old. (michigan compiled laws, Public act 451.)
I believe the club grounds has cows that need to be feed during trailfest though.

 

[Don Marsh]

Cows or not I think those "DEATH MACHINES" (quads) should be banned from club ground use. There are dangerous in the wrong hands, right SLOW ONE!!!!!!!! :nener:

Jamie, we welcome the first international participant to Trailfest. The death machine comment is an inside joke. As long as the four wheel vehicle has brakes, there will be no problem.

 

[slowone]

Sorry for running ya down Don! I'm telling you if that death machine were mine it'd be used for target practice by now! I go to the clubgrounds last weekend to fiddle with the bike a bit and pull the turd out of the shed(turd aka deathquad), starts just fine pulling it out but won't start when I want to put it back in! Check plug for spark, check fuel supply, engine has compression, but no runny run. Shed doors are elevated so I had to push the friggin thing back up the ramp. I think the good lord is telling me to stay away from four wheelers cause every time I touch the thing it gives me problems. :uh:

 

[Don Marsh]

Man Jamie you are quick, even before I could email you to warn you.
I will have the TTR125 there if he wants to try a bike without training wheels.

 

[89TRX350RX]

Sounds good... I'll really put the push on as long as Braeden can come. Like I said in my email, Don, Darrin may come with his 2 boys, and yes they are all on 2-wheels :nener:

Thanks guys, It sure sounds like a Blast :cool:

Jamie

 

[Smit-Dog]

I'll have an XR-50 and XR-70 your son can also try...

 

[89TRX350RX]

Again, you guys are awesome and I look forward to coming down. I guess there is a place to set up a travel trailer? (hope that isn't a stupid question... maybe I'll use the search button)

Primitive camping

Pre-entries are encouraged as we need to pay for insurance and permit fees. The cost is $15 per rider. If you would like to camp at the clubgrounds, the camping fee is $10 and will given to LMC for use of their property. I encourage you to bring your whole family. We will limit the entry/camping fee to $50 per family. If a family member plans to stay at the clubgrounds to ride, please arrange for adequate supervision.

Salgeek - I hope all three generations can make it.

Thanks F&S. It is one FINE event. :cool:

 

[D3luxe]

It's about a 3.5 hour drive for me, but i'll try to be there. Sounds like a lot of fun, just have to convince the parents to let me go up there. Most likely if I do come up, a friend will be accompanying me..When I find out some definate answers and the plans for this get settled in a bit more, then myself and a friend will be pre-reg'ing,

 

[wyatt]

you prolly still got those number ones from like 02 when you and luca won light team on there dont ya?

Yeah shaggy I still got em, collecting dust with the bike........You should have a set by trailfest. Ill show you mine if you will show me yours.........not that, everyones seen that i meant the number plates.

Don, great idea. Since i will be fairly busy between now and trailfest
I would be happy to leave the KTM at home and ride something blue japanese and preferably a 2 stroke 250 of the 2008 vintage. Rumor has it you may be able to help me out.
I will forward preffered suspension settings,tire recomedations and some bling suggestions. Barkbusters in any color but pink please.

Before I get completely dedicated to this, do you guys think that as a new rider i'd be able to handle it? I dont think the 50 miles would be as tough as the terrains..not sure what its like up there. At the time of the ride, ill be riding for about 3 months.

I just dont want to drive up there and find out that i'm not experienced enough for it =P

Some of the riding will be on ORV and some of it will be on trails tighter than ORV. Handguards are required. If you attempt it I suggest you bring a buddy to ride with so you can help each other.

[Smit-Dog]

He saw how much faster Paul got after switching from a slow-handling, heavy 4-stroke.... Watch out SS-A class!

... And one step closer to Orange...

 

[Don Marsh]

Rumors?
I guess you found me out I picked up a pristine condition Yamaha 2T, and will be riding it at select enduros next year.
Wyatt you can ride it at trailfest if you want. :ride:
