Rainy Day Ride

Decided to go for a ride yesterday (05 Jul 012) .... The day started off cloudy, but it was dry & dusty .... that didn't last long ........ WHAT A GREAT DAY !!! Ya need to listen to the very first part of the video to hear my enjoyment !!

I figured, most people would have left the mountains after the 4th .... boy was I wrong !! ... There were so many freak'in people up there ........ and stupid ones too.

Most of them must have also thought they were the only ones on the mountain, cause I was rid'in easy up this road when some Wingnut came fly'in around a blind corner in his 4 passenger UTV & about took me out !!

Then later after it had been raining for a while, I was going up this trail. It was kinda steep (steeper than it looks in the video BTW), black greasy mountain mud & rocky ... so I was kinda of committed .... I come around these trees & there's three guys parked at the top of the hill .... I was sure they'd move ....... Nope, guess they figured I was a figment of their imagination.

So I go around them to the right ... but there's a burnt stump in my way ... so I head uphill to go around that ... and it's on a slope ... turn downhill towards the trail & there's a downed tree in the way ... & I have my wheels cranked downhill ... when I hit that I was sure I'd roll so I just kept the throttle twisted .... made it .... then there was another log in the grass ... I didn't want to hit it going to fast because on the other side the trail is narrow & falls away down a slope (it doesn't appear like that in the video, but trust me, it did) .... so I slowed down just a little ... and got high centered. After a couple seconds one of the Yo-Yo's comes over & helps push me over the log .... and I still dang near went over the side of the trail !!

The rest of the ride was just wet & slippery & the Interco Reptiles just clawed up & over stuff like it was noth'in !!

Saw Moose, deer, skeeters & some SQUIRREL !!!.......... and way to many people for my liking I might add !!

Here's the video, hope you enjoy it ....

Dang, that's cool you live so close to where you can ride. The nearest place I can ride is about 45 miles away (one way) ... the trip for the ride in this video was about 115 miles one way .... so MOST the time, I spend almost as much time gett'in to the riding spot & returning home, as I do actually rid'in my bike !! ... :drivingc: ... however ... it is big open country out here, so it's all good !! :woot:

I know where you are coming from on that one. The place I wheeled, between lifted trucks and quads, for almost 20yrs decided to go permit only. They even went as far as to tell people "if you have a permit and catch someone who does not riding, you get your next year for free". That turned everyone into bounty hunters and I haven't ridden there since they started it. I find my own places, ride myself, and fly under the radar. I consider myself and ATV FREErider, with the main part staying FREE.

:yes:

there is thousands of acres of paper company and goverment land in south mississippi, there is just entirely too much free riding to make someone rich to ride, these places dont need to charge so much to ride, they charge for everything, water, air, recovery, riding, food, camping, everything cost extra, the entry fee only covers the machine with one rider, nothing is included except a hard time

i would hate to live that far away from trails, i would end up making my own,,,,, oops , lol

Well, that's just the way it is out West ... unless you live right next to the National Forest or the desert !!

But we're so use to it, it's no biggie. Heck, the furthest I've driven for a one day ride was about 210 miles one way !! But the way gas is now, if I got that far now, I want to stay a few days ....... SAVVY !!?? :woot:
