Do you race? Or just ride for fun?

finished 3rd outta 5 girls, with the rim problem, nick finished 9th out of 27 riders in the a class...too bad he was leading when he bent it :(

I really want to try to race, but first the knee has to heal and I've been practicing at my cousins house( he has trails and a track(sm.) So only time will tell.

Start out by racing gophers....

Then move up.....

When you get to small sheep, then you're ready......

I go now....

Is your knee doing better ?

:no:well the knee.....let's see. I can't sit indian style anymore, sometimes it buckles backwards when I'm walking(thats when it hurts bad). Can't cuddle up on the couch like I used to. On the other hand, the brace does help its just a pain to have to put on everyday.

Next weekend I will be in Marion Illinois riding. (check out the event site) I am tired of waiting for my leg to get muscle strangth back. I need and want to ride before it turns off real cold(that hurts the knee). I'm not scared to ride again. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Ride for fun. If I was a sport-quad guy, I might get into racing, but as of now I'll stick to cruising the trails and just riding to have fun. OK, I'll do a drag race once-in-a-while against my dad or brother, but that's it really...no real racing here.

For me, riding is a release from stress...I don't want to be stressed out about a race!

EDIT: Just realized this is the girl's section of the forum. I'm a guy, for the record! Sorry 'bout tha'!

yeah we talk smack to each other but in the end its all about doing your best and having fun....we just finished our season today, i'll definitely miss not seein them nearly every weekend...and i'll miss the adrenaline that pumps through my veins while i'm waiting for the green flag to fly.....

they have a mud and snow harescramble series here about an hour from me...its the same track a few weekends throughout the winter...but the track's like 3-4 miles long and you race only for like 45 mins. sooo i'm not quite sure if it's worth it yet....i'm still pondering the thought of trying to make the ohio gncc...its 6 hours away from me.....

i'm confused...do you do harescrambles or mx//

Well I'm at home in the woods!!!:wink: but a friend and I went to the FMF indoor winter series(MX) last year just to play, we Both took turns riding this stock LT-r, he got 2nd in the beginner class, and i got 5th in the Intermediate.. It was fun! and being held indoor, the tracks are very tight and no MASSIVE air,, so we're going to run the whole series for the heck of it this winter just for fun..lol. we're gonna be traveling over 4 hours each of the indoor races, from Asheville to Knoxville..:autoc:

you're goin to hit all the gncc's?? how the hell you gonna afford it...and taking time off from work?? that's my biggest problem..not so much the money, but taking the time off from work.

we did an indoor series in greenville, ky and had a blast...i'd always win my first moto and choke in my second and come in second!!!!

anywho...my dad wants to buy my quad, so im contemplating on getting a new one....suggestions?? realistic ones....either a honda or can am is what i want.

      I've always loved trikes. My son apparently must've picked up on that. Not only did he surprise me with an 85 Big Red to restore, but he picked himself up an 85 Tri-Z to restore as well. He's definitely got a lot more money and labor wrapped up into his, but damn she looks sweet. Just finished his this week and he just can't stop staring at it. I tell the kids they'll be burying me with my Big Red.

      Out on the trail, visibility is everything. When you’re riding, you need to be able to see every potential obstacle well in advance, and sometimes, that includes things behind or beside your vehicle. On your own private property, sideview and rearview mirrors are a clear value-add, helping you avoid some of the entirely preventable accidents that can pop up when you’re driving in Reverse. On public trails, those mirrors are an absolute necessity, drastically helping mitigate the risk of vehicle-to-vehicle collisions and prevent bodily injuries.

      That’s why Kemimoto, a market leader in the design and manufacture of ATV and UTV accessories, has devoted so much focus to UTV mirrors over the past decade, in addition to accessories like saddlebags, seat bags, whip lights, and more. When the company was founded back in 2011, there weren’t any readily available, affordable off-road mirrors for Side-by-Sides on the market that were much good for anything other than showing riders the rears of their own vehicles. So, the company’s founders took up the challenge, setting out to create their own side mirrors to provide fellow ORV enthusiasts with a better view of their blind spots.

      Mirrors have been Kemimoto’s hottest-selling products ever since.

      Today, Kemimoto has a staggeringly impressive collection of sideview and rearview mirrors for UTVs, ATVs, and bikes on offer, with nearly a hundred unique mirror packages on sale through the official Kemimoto website. Kemimoto makes mirrors to suit any need and any budget. Many of them are best-sellers in their respective categories, and for very good reason: as a direct-to-consumer brand, products are marketed, sold, and delivered to customers directly by Kemimoto. That extra efficiency allows the company to price its ATV and UTV accessories more effectively, and sell high-quality mirrors and other products while keeping prices extremely affordable.
      Equally important, Kemimoto’s ORV mirrors are just plain good. Design, development, and engineering all take place in-house, and the company even holds a few patents for some of its innovations. They have their own laboratory for product testing, to ensure that every mirror that wears the Kemimoto name is tough enough to go the distance. The mirrors are designed for beginners and professionals alike, with ridiculously simple install procedures that typically require a hand tool or two and just a few minutes of your time to set up. They are made to suit the overall aesthetics and performance requirements of the vehicles they are designed for.

      As an example, let’s take a look at a pair of Kemimoto’s lighted side mirrors designed for Sport Side-by-Sides. As the name implies, Kemimoto has built two levels of lighting into each of the side mirrors. You can fire up one or both of the lights in each mirror. And with an angle of illumination of 195 degrees, you can see exactly where you are going.
      Additionally, these mirrors boast shatterproof tempered glass, which helps protect the driver and passengers in case of an impact. They also feature a breakaway design, so they will fold up if you get a little too close to a tree or any other obstacle rather than snap right off. When it comes to construction, Kemimoto made the shell out of a high-quality ABS, while and the frame and bracket are built out of aluminum.
      Of course, Kemimoto is more than just mirrors. The brand also produces and sells its own saddlebags for motorcycles, seat bags for ATVs, backpacks, roll cage cargo organizers, and other storage accessories. They also manufacture high-quality whip lights and mounts, UTV cupholders, dome lights, windshields, vehicle covers, and even some riding gear. But high-quality, fairly priced ORV mirrors will always be the company’s specialty.
