Indiana enduros (Upload & Goshen) - anything extra required for MI riders

[Steve St.Laurent]

I'm going to be riding in the Upland enduro this weekend (& Goshen in a month) and was wondering if there is an ORV sticker I need to purchase for Indiana? Just thought of it this weekend. I'm a Michigan rider and of course have our ORV sticker and am plated.

No just AMA card, D 14 card and your bike needs to be plated and have lights.

I heard a fella should bring some waiters for the deep river crossings at Upland.

To each his own. Personnally I'd bring a waitress, but thats just me.

Is tech as flexible in Indiana as it is in MI :)
If so I might have togo..This Enduro thing is pretty fun :cool:

Don't know about that, I'm sure Trash could fill us in on the benefits.

Can you make your bike look legal? Like I said you need lights on it and a lis plate, I doubt they will make you have the lights working.

I'd invest in a HD tube and maybe some day get your self a 18 inch rear rim and spoke kit. :nod:

I think the tube problem is solved put a 4mil HD michilin tube in last week, just in case I am going to bring along my extra set of wheels If I go I have to convince the wife first :bang:

Anything extra - pin it in the cornfields; but, watch out for rocks.
Risky to cut corners in Indiana Enduros.

I know don't do it. Barbed wire wrapped up in the tire sux, especially when it also wraps around your boot then ties your leg tight to the bike then bike falls to that side. :bang:

 

[Smit-Dog]

Welcome to Indiana.... Broken glass, rusted out heaps of metal, and barbed wire on event trail... :|

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

You guys aren't helping my nerves :uh:

 

[Smit-Dog]

Remember: Still waters run deep....

...You do have your carb vented high through your airbox, right?

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

Uh, no - it's vented down to the ground as it was stock. Care to explain? There's 3 carb vent lines and one fuel overflow line on the carb (CR250)

 

[Smit-Dog]

Well, I guess it depends on your riding style.

These guys needed vent hoses mounted high:

... While this rider used a different technique:

... Seriously, you'll be fine. I doubt the rivers will be that high this year with the lack of rain we've had this summer and fall.

 

[Joey2Balls]

I heard the rivers are very deep right now. I think I'll be riding some 2tracks this weekend.

But then your friends may end up calling you Joeynoballs! :yikes:

 

[Joey2Balls]

It takes Big Balls to rip down some twisty 2 tracks! You can go swimming and I'll go 2 tracking and drink some beers with my friends. :cool:

 

[bbarel]

Well at least he won't be joeyWETballs.

The Enduro Chairman would like to thank his FORMER points keeper for bringing that photo back out :bang:

I was the "River Rat" long before I was the "Bike Whore" :nod: :nod: :nod: ;)

 

[24mph,m/l]

River crossings

Upland has had only 33mm of rain in the last month, and not much chance this week. Will probably be dusty.

 

[bbarel]

You know the chairman a reputation to maintain after his previous Goshen incident.

 

[Smit-Dog]

Notice that I did not mention any names!

And by constantly rotating between bike brands, who can identify you by bike-alone!

 

[tdunn976]

Thank godness there are No pictures of me at the Goshen incident!
