This ride was 64 miles. We have done rides pushing 100+ Her quad will be on reserve by 100 miles. I carried these mainly because I use only non-ethanol gas in the quads and generator. Turns out one gas station in town sells it.

My aluminum trailer with two quads on it is well over 1,000 pounds and it has worked well. I bought it in 2007 and is still used today. Torsion axles are good, my camping trailer has it and it works well.

@mehim no nude/barely clothed photos please. I removed them from your last post.

This site lists stations that sell pure gas. (non-ethanol) https://www.pure-gas.org/

We rode here the day before the event. This is a DCNR state forest trail system. The story behind the name is miners would put their bottles of whiskey in the local springs to keep them cold until their shift was over. Part of the trail system is on old strip mines so some areas are barren, others are full forest.

I think Battery Tender is the highest rated one i dont have one, been meaning to pick one up but my cheap Amazon and Temu ones just keep working.

I had one of those solar maintainers and it didn’t do anything to save my jetski AGM battery over winter. Best thing is a cheap, Amazon 1-2 amp maintainer. You can get them for ~$15.

yes I was packing for a day 80 mile day ride on Forman. So what ever will fit in the Moose. So small cooler with Milk (for My rum $ Milk after ride drink) and lunch. But I am looking at the Freeze dried stuff also to try.

also why do you never see brakes on single axle trailers? I installed on mine. It was easy.

well the small cooler bags are dangerous if not packed with ice. .Ha Ha cold beer...I like milk that does not need to be refrigerated. AKA Shelf Stable milk...first saw it in Europe. Over there you could pick the butterfat content...WOW! But of course evaporated milk can be kept unrefrigerated....evaporated condensed milk was introduced commercially back in 1864 ....Can you says "Gail Borden" Elsie the Cow?

Thats bad news, that should have been noisy running. Thanks for the update!

Yep tongue weight should be around the same 10%. Tandem axles have a few advantages, like a lower deck height because you are using 2 smaller tires instead of one big one. But then you have 2 more tires to maintain. Deck over is the best use of space if you are going to side load. I love single axles, lite, easy to tow. Easy to move around. Just didn't work for me. I ran out of storage so enclosed when the best solution for me. Everyone's situation is different. Problem with any trailer, not just single axles is being over built, or buying too much trailer. The closer you can load a trailer to it's gvwr the better it will ride. Single axles will ride rougher in general, especially when empty, it doesn't have that second axle holding the first one down.

Late to the party like always. So if your SxS is 10ft a 12 trailer will still not be enough for you to side load the atv. I started out with a 4x8 trailer for ATV, hated it. Could not see the trailer behind the vehicle. Bought a snowmobile trailer at auction for $100, Put new deck on it. Got another machine and started side loading it. But it was tight if either had larger tires. I have since moved on to a Thule enclosed trailer. Love it so much better. Tall enough to ride into, or for side x side. If we take the side by side we take one atv in the pickup bed. Otherwise it has room for 4 atvs. It is 8.5ft x 14ft. Aluminum. Very light, nice pulling trailer. You can move it around on the concrete by hand. It is aluminum, all of it. It is 20 years old and no signs of cracks or rot in it anywhere. Best part is, when we get home, atvs are already stored. LOL I prefer a lot of tongue weight, less chance of the trailer pushing the tow vehicle around. When you look at gvwr on a trailer you need to remember at least 10% should be tongue weight. So a trailer with 3500 gvwr, weighs 1500 pounds. Leaves 2000 pounds payload correct? actually not. 10% tongue weight would make payload 2350.

Great morning QC !! Off for a short ride then in to the A/C before it get frickin HOT !!LOL

I'm curious. How many here rely on satellite , either geostationary or LEO ( Starlink) services for their internet? Where I am in BC's Southern interior, I have Starlink home for my internet. There is no cable or fiber here and cell service is minimal at best. I can get all the TV service I want through streaming. I recently bought and set up a Starlink Mini and lent it to my granddaughter who is working at a remote mining camp as their safety officer and paramedic. I subscribed to their 100GB monthly service and had it drop to Standby at the end of the first month service. So for an investment of $299.99 for the Mini, an initial $75 for one month of !00GB of full speed data and then $15/ mon. for standby, the Mini gives my granddaughter internet services at old dialup speeds so no streaming. It allows her to make audio calls ,and we found it also allowed her to make a video call to me although it had freezing and pixilation frequently but was still usable. So with her phone and the Mini she has internet service, and the ability to make a phone call through Messenger from anywhere in North America for CAD $15/mon. Compare that to the price of Inreach, Spot-x or any of the other emergency calling equipment and service. The Mini does not have navigation, but you can easily download maps with it. At only 10 x 12 Inches ,it can be carried in a backpack or mounted on a vehicle,quad, ATV or boat as needed and easily transferred between rides.

I have the spot-x. It does text only but has an SOS emergency button. I have used it to contact friends back at camp when we were delayed back because we stopped to help with an accident. There was no cell coverage in the area.

Trailers are lower to the ground easier to load and unload, on the other hand just load it in the van and go no hook ups no lighting checks no stress of pulling trailer. , i always wanted to find an old El Camino or Ranchero to haul mine around in, they were lower to the ground and easier to load, but they got to expensive and hard to find. What about a truck, many people haul them in trucks. I do like the van idea covered, no trailer woes, and easy to find a used one reasonable.

We had a great showing on the world stage

Absolutely...covers everywhere

I have "All Trails' It tracks me and shows trails even in mountains of Nevada when on foot. Plus it has an emergency communication$ feature that works from any remote area. I have seen it work with others. Damn Helicopter extractions are expensive! I think it would even work in my Hotel room..Never tried it.... LOL.

Happy 4th QC !! Good morning to work around the house and avoid the crowds !!

Noi It would not run if the pickup coil was wrong line up would be wrong. The problem is you are only getting 3 volts out of the CDI , and you are getting the same with both CDIs i dont have a service manual to chase the wiring , but something is wrong there, make sure 12 volts is going in and make sure your CDI ground is good. The problem seems intermittant something electrical is not doing its job all the time. When you were riding it was there any hint of a running problem, poor idle, backfiring etc. or just wouldnt start after 2 days.

Great Game !! Time to plan a ride thur !!

Good match so far! Could have been 2-0 if not for the offsides call

Great Morning QC !! finishing up my work week then time to ride !!

Welcome! If you can fix cars you can fix this, although modern cars are like rolling computers, the 88 LTF not so much.

I'd nick name it "MUD MAX" tom

Maybe fit both machines on a 12 footer....I know men can improvise positions Of their equipment.

no Iam looking for a single axle that I cAN TOW easiy with my AWD Highlander

When it is hot!

Buckees has Non ethanol gas...But OMG it is a zoo...125 Pumps!

I bought mine over 20 years ago still does the job!

Ooops...PIC Final finished....I feathered in the area where the fiberglass reinforcing cloth was with filler that is available. It sands easy for a smooth finish.

I repaired my cousin's paddle board a year or so ago. The entire nose broke off. Here you can see I reattached with two layers of fiberglass cloth . I use West Marine Epoxy because it works and It's dummy proof for people like me. Also they help me with questions and suggestions.

I have seen it sold at various places, mainly local gas stations. In Renovo this place has it. Sorry, opposite, I am 58. Northcentral PA has smoother trails then where I live. Riding options are limited where I live now so we travel to ride. What we have here is usually rocky.

Yes ,that's the Name on mine -Just Google "Battery Tender"

Out late...but I may get up groggy...

Great pics Love to see Peoples riding pics How many miles are you guys covering ?

Thats very possible but these things do get kind of honery with age, i always put the harder stuff off as a last resort, but would be good to check that and make sure things are moving properly. Good luck, keep us informed!

Very good! I would run the fresh oil for a bit just to get everything lubed up properly then change it again, wouldnt push it to hard, water and oil are hard on the internal engine componets.
