MX only ride at MX573 in Montrose, PA

[RM_guy]

It seems that there is some interest in a MX only ride with some of the Damn Yankee Dirt Riders. The May ride at Paragon will be too early for their MX track to be completed so I'm planning a MX only ride at a place called MX573 http://www.mx573.com It's got overnight camping and a small store with bike parts and food. The track in 1.5 miles long and the owner is constantly working it with a stone rake so there are very few rocks. He also has a massive watering system that he uses as soon as any dust kicks up. There is a pond if you want to get wet and a pressure washer to clean your bike if it's muddy.

Also the claim to fame on this track is a HUGE double that only a few have done. Don't worry though, all of the jumps have a wide bypass if you don't want to do them. I can show you where all of the bypasses are ;) This track is great for everyone from beginner to pro.

It's usually not that crowded and I spoke with him earlier about a group discount if enough people showed up. Lets get a head count of who would be interested and some dates that would be good. Take the poll (yes or no) to get a running count and also email me at [email protected] so I can get an email distribution list started.

Oh, and for you woods only guys and gals there is a nice pee wee track to moto on :aj:

 

[Fark]

NICE! Would we have to take a day off work or will it be on a weekend?

 

[CaptainObvious]

I'm interested. Let's see how the details work out.

 

[moto814]

Could be fun, but when are you looking to do this? Do you have a tentative date picked out yet?

 

[RM_guy]

I'm looking for suggestions for dates. I'd like to do it on a weekend so no one has to take off work. Of course if you normally race it's usually on a Sunday.

Sometime in late May or June would be good but I'm pretty open as long as it isn't June 1st (my 24th anniversary and my wife don't ride :() or May 4th. Once I see if we have enough people I'll give the owner a call.

 

[Hucker]

Seeing that I started this whole thing :) You can definetly count me in. I work every other weekend, so getting me on a off weekend would be killer.. I also know my schedule a year in advance, so no prob on telling you when I don't work :)

I bet FlyinKaw(James) would be in for sure....

 

[Papakeith]

James better be in! I'll make the treck if I have to, but are there any tracks maybe an hour or so closer to RI that you might know of?

 

[Treejumper]

Too far for me to just ride a track. Especially since i'm scared of them now. :)

 

[jmics19067]

would love to go!!!

Fark, since I am currently transportationally challenged would you mind if I can hook up with you for the ride?

Most any weekend would work for me!

 

[Fark]

How many bikes? We'll have a 125 and an 85 and it'll be a tight fit but we can fit another full size bike. You have a trailer? No prob if you don't!

 

Shoot me a PM man, your address and phone # and all.  Why are you transportationally challenged?  DUI?  :aj:   Just kidding.    LOL. 

 

[CaptainObvious]

Dave,

Any time is good for me (except the weekend of the Damn Yankee Trail Ride). I like the idea of the pee wee track...for my 8-year-old of course.

I don't ride a lot of MX but I'm more than glad to get out there and be a lapper (or is that a leper).

 

[Hucker]

RV we are all lappers, some just spend more time in the dirt than others :)

one 250 and my gear and supplies well actually I could take a car for that stuff to free up bike space. email me at [email protected] since I have yet to cough up the funds for this site <don't shoot me Okie>.

the ole' pickup finally failed inspection and a lot of little parts I need are no longer available. It was a government spec'ed truck and things are just getting too difficult to obtain and too expensive to convert to a "normal" vehicle.
I haven't decided whether or not to cut it up into a BillyBobJoe trailer or just to trade it for an rear axle of a front wheel drive and make a light trailer that my car could actually pull.

Hucker,
Email me with your schedule and we'll post a few dates to choose from.

 

[Fark]

jdog no prob. All I ask is that you contribute to the gas tank and get your own tent if we camp. I have and xtended cab so you can sit in the back seat with the gear. :aj:

I don't know if this will happen, it seems there isn't a huge interest in it.

 

[jmics19067]

Cool thanks Fark!

I will gladly fill up your tank although if we do camp I will probably will drive my own car since I usually bring way too much stuff but never what I need.

 

[Papakeith]

It'll happen. One way or another. How about some dates to choose from Dave?

 

[Trigger1911]

Hey Mics, Dont forget extra spark plugs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jmics19067]

see now that is the stuff I will forget I just hate it when I don't bring a running bike. But I am sure I will have enough clean socks and fan belts from cars I no longer own.

 

[Fark]

No filling of the tank necessary, just throw me a bone, yaknowwhatimean? I can't wait!

 

[jmics19067]

giving you a small token of my appreciation for taxiing my bike is no problem! heh I should watch my mouth otherwise you coulda pulled up to my house with a 55 gallon drum strapped on the back demanding race fuel .

 

[RM_guy]

Let's shoot for the end of June. Even if there are just 4 or 5 of us it will be a blast. Chief and a few of his friends met me there last year and we had a real good time.

 

[CaptainObvious]

End of June sounds good to me. Maybe the snow will be gone by then!

 

[endo2000]

Let me know when and me & the boys will be up!

 

[RM_guy]

Let's make it for June 21st and 22nd. If you can only make it for one day make it Sunday. I will probally be there both days but go home to sleep since it's only 1/2 hour for me. I will also be able to avoid the attack of the zip-ties :debil:
