Re: went riding on plumas ohv route 31

The fish appears to be a Micropterus salmoides (Largemouth Bass). Odd that it would be in such a cool clear stream. Global warming I guess.

That's What I'm Talking About!

Hey Mr. Ranger, I'm legal! Taken this weekend just after I came off the dirt at Wentworth Springs Road. Yes, I rode the Rubicon Trail on my new (to me) "quad". Ok, I didn't ride the whole trail; only to the Wentworth Springs campground. It was getting late and I didn't have enough time to get to Rub...

Forest Service must keep us out of the forest so we can enjoy it.

Re: More of the 43/44 road area

I did this ride about a month ago on my road bike (the type you pedal). 60ish miles and lots of climbing up Mosquito Ridge Rd. Pushed up the dirt rd through snow to get to Robinson's Flat. I did the ride on my new "quad-bike" last week (the type you twist the throttle). The view from the lookout at ...

Re: How to Make Quad Calif. Steet Legal

Yes, I did sell my quad. Keeping the quad and getting the dual sport was not an option. Actually, I could have kept the quad and bought the dual sport, but I would have lost my wife. I hope I made the right call. I mean for the most part I like my wife better than my quad. We'll see. I am looking fo...

How to Make Quad Calif. Steet Legal

I give up. Trail restrictions have made it too difficult so I decided to make my quad California street legal.

Re: 5th Annual Terry Reid "Mr. Miyagi" Memorial Ride

I'm planning on being there. I assume two wheeled quads are allowed?

Cool ride, but it sure takes the fun out of riding having to look over your shoulder.

I'm heading to Nevada in two weeks for several days of riding. I hear they allow quads on dirt roads there. :wink:

There are four circumstances where running an ATV in snow is fun: 1. The first 6"-12" of snow in the fall. 2. Thaw during the afternoon and freezing temps at night. The crust in the morning is great, but better be back before it gets soft. 3. Bandit riding packed and groomed snowmobile trails. Very ...

I got mine at America's Tire Store on Arden Wy. They price matched an internet ad I brought in. The tax and the shipping washed and they did the mount and install.

I was very happy with the price and service.

It's all about the COFU Index. This index is critical to not only ATV speed, but pretty much any life situation. Proper estimation of the COFU Index is essentially evolutionary therory simplified. Here are some examples: Testing a 9v battery with your tongue = low COFU Index Testing a 220v line with...

A mountain bike, no problem. A scooter, no way.

Those guys were so scared you couldn't even understand what they were saying.
