Hey TC450 Eagle Bridge is not for me any more. We all belong to CATRA a place to ride some woods up in Providence NY. Wea re always looking for some places closer to home in the Albany area. If you know of some or want to go to CATRA, let us know.

Yes Russ, new stuff works well on the little mx track where I have been riding and the 1 woods ride I did. I am looking forward to getting up to Catra for another day if it stops raining. I would like to get up there tomorrow, I am not going to Claverack with a 50% chance of rain.

Dave, I got your message. Sorry no call back, but I've been sick with a cold the past few days and very busy with wet lawns. If I feel up to it I'll be there after 1:00.
Do you think it's safe to ride on Nyquil? I figure if I don't fall asleep I'll be good :ohmy:

Another CATRA member here... I'm not only a member, I'm also the President. I don't live far from you (Consaul Rd. & St. David's Ln.) and do most of my riding at CATRAland, because it's legal. Also compete in NETRA enduros, some hare scrambles and occasionally ride a turkey run. A friend of mine has a 2.5 mile enduro practice track in Duanesburg, where I've ridden, that's mostly flat with a lot of tight turns in the trees and a nice grass track. It's not very technical, no rocks or hills.

I'm going to be riding Thursdays after work, so if you're up for a mid-week ride, let me know.

Well if you know anybody that has room for 1 more bike and person let me know, been looking at purchasing a cargo trailer but i got another dirtbike I`m looking into getting after I finish this window and siding job(2006 crf250r) husky is awsome but beating me up a bit , need to order new rear spring , I don`t weigh enough to get 4 inches of sag.. had to order new front sprocket as well 1 tooth less just to tame the animal..aha.. still breaking it in and getting use to it...getting more daring as well... geez.. these toys are expensive hey let me know

Ya Sean, that was me. I really like that track. It was pretty hard pack that night but it must be real nice after they groom it. I'm not too big on jumping but I did a few of the smaller doubles. I'll have to work up to the bigger ones. You'll have to find a new chauffer. I have a two bike trailer but I have to pick up my brother on the way. He couldn't make it last week. If anyone else is going I'll see if they can work something out with you.
need to order new rear spring , I don`t weigh enough to get 4 inches of sag

Did you back the spring off? I had to get a heavier spring for my bike this week too. I'm waiting for the front springs. They should be here next week.
Hope you can make it.

Yeah I backed the spring off untill it came loose , still no cigar... have good news though.... Just bought a 2006 kx250f and got hotwheels graffix , pro taper fat bars... ordering athena big bore kit and new pipe , and boyeson water pump.... this bike rips and is super light , runs pretty hot though , bigger piston should help cool it with high flow water pump , drained radiators and mixed it 70 water 30 coolant , water has better cooling properties than coolant , seemed to do the trick.. well if I can find a ride today.. I`ll be up there on my kawasaki for the first time.. I have a feeling this bike is gonna fly alot easier than the husky..(keeping husky for friends to ride when we go up there) just pray they don`r wreck it..ahaha.. yeah , but the husky is alot stronger and way more powerful... its to bad its so heavy cause its a superior bike by far.. oh well , when I get better I`m positive I`m gonna be on that 450... but for now the animal will be garaged on a stand with a cover over it. Well everyone thinks I`m nuttz , Gonna save up money for land and see what happens. So probably in a year or 2 I will have enough saved if business keeps going this good as god as truly blessed me , and I am grateful... welp.. hopefully I`ll be up there tonight because I really want to try out this new bike really bad. And address any problems and get it tuned properly(susension etc)... So I will say I`ll be up there and keep it positive and it shalll happen.. alright buddy I`m ramblin on here :blah: , gotta get ready for work , take care
