I'll be at an airshow in Oshkosh WI. Let me know if you go later in the month.
There's no way the boss will let me go 2 weeks in a row, especially since I spent all last Sunday at Unadilla last week. :(
I'm a maybe on this one. I'll let you know as the week goes on. My wife just started complaining last night about the time I spend riding/racing preparing my bike... More family time blah blah blah...
The way I see it, If she could ride faster we could hang out more. My solution is that her & my daughter practice more and get faster. After all the family that rides together stays together ;).

Saturdays are out for me, but I will be there Sunday. There is another dirtbike forum that is planning a ride at paragon on 8/2 & 8/3, so there should be a few people there to ride with (they won't get as big a turnout as DRN does when we go though :laugh: ) .....and I don't know if they let 2 strokes ride with their group either.

Well as of now all I have is some maybes.
Sunday are usually no good for me since the wife works and I have to watch my son. Just turned 4 the other day but a couple of weeks ago just started zipping around on his bike with no trainning wheels so looks like we might......ok not might will have another rider in the future.
Ok back to the ride. Most likely I will bring the XR400 and Keep the KX125 at home or bring it as a back up who know but I am still looking for at least 1 person to go with since you have to have 2 people. I see allot of guys are going this weekend to bad I have a family trip planned not that its a bad thing. Now if I can just get the wife to ride.
Ok enough ranting lets see who wants to ride.

How old do you have to be to ride up there? Does anybody ride 2-stroke dirtbikes?
Nick,
There's no age restriction and there are lots of 2 smoke guys (me included). You may want to at least put a skid plate on. Brush guards are good to have too but not a must.

Are they going to put in mx tracks at Paragon? If so, when will they be there?

MX tracks are being built....the peewee track is almost done, and they are working on the amateur track. There will be more tracks to follow.......Check the link for my pictures below, and you can see the progress of the mx tracks......I only have pictures of the peewee right now, but hope to get pictures posted of the amateur track this weekend.
There is no age limit at Paragon, but you do need to have your parents/guardian sign the waiver for you to ride, and you can not ride alone. Here's the link to Paragons web site if you have any other questions, or just post them here.

:whiner: Well now that shutdown is over ( nearly ) I can fix my fork seals ( maybe ) and get the bike out. Glad you guys are still around and trying to ride in the superheat ( 60+ degrees ). I figure in about 3 weeks all my paperwork will be completed for the work we did in the last 3 weeks, so I can ride again. Family's talking about Labor weekend going up and staying over the weekend. We'll see. Who want's to ride - anyone, anyone.
:thumb: This riding once a month thing is killing me. I read the ride reports for Paragon and wish I was there ( apart from not having the skill level to keep up with you ). Scooter's keeping you all rattled up, even if he bear ly waits for you.
Hopefully see you guys soon at Paragon ( earliest being Labor day weekend).

16th - Travel soccer tournament for my son. 23rd - Charity golf tournament for a friends grandaughter ( we have the team that may win - I being the weakest link ) Work 3rd shift Sundays both of those weekends and that leaves Labor weekend.
Treejumper you drive one heck of a distance to play. 2 hrs is enough for me.
Maybe we'll hook up again soon. I got the gear now, no more rocketeer jacket. :thumb:

I would go labor day weekend but we always goto Steel City for the Nationals. Paragon is not too bad of a drive for me. I drive on average 100+ miles a day for work so doing 400 on a weekend for riding is no biggie. The nice thing about Paragon is out of the 200 miles only 15 of it is back road. The rest is I-80 and I-81 which means no waiting for slow pokes to get out of the way. I usually make it to Paragon in 2.5 to 2.75 hours.
