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.

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:

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:

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

Remember: Still waters run deep....

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

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)

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.

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:

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.

Notice that I did not mention any names!

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