TRAILS UPDATE
8-29-05:

Due to recent heavy rainfall, all trails at Turkey Bay OHV Area are closed until further notice.

Looks like Taylorville will be getting a visit!

BTW... the Trails Update date is BS! I checked yesterday and they were open. Just trying to cover their @ss I guess.

I too am back ... it was quite a weekend, not LBL but Taylorville since LBL was closed due to excessive rains. Just my brother and myself but a great time!

Nobody got too pissed at me except for a CR125 rider I encoundered in the woods I ended up roosting. I was going though some new territory at a reasonable clip and someone on a CR was right on my ass, as soon as I hit the first open area I roosted the hell out of him. He pulled over and shut his bike off or else he woulda hit a tree. :lol:

On the first day my brother was following me through the woods at harescramble speeds and hit quad ruts around a corner through trees on both sides and lost it. When I came to a clearing and turned around I noticed he wasn't there, I turned around and found him on the ground with the bike on top. His first words were... "It's not broke" :shock: I didn't even say anthing to him yet... I thought oh great... hospital here we come! But I pulled the bike off of him and stood it up, and the kicker fell off! Hmmmm.... nut was gone that holds it on. Great... I thought but we got a nut in town the next morning for .84 cents... and a $5 bottle of lock-tite. He needs to have his knee looked at because it is trashed. If he straightens it completely he wants to pass out and he will fall to the ground for sure. He rode the rest of the weekend like that and rode like a demon. Great heart and a great rider too! I had lots of opportunity to laugh at him for the rest of the time over stupid stuff like missing a step walking out of the public bathroom and falling on his ass... :lol:

We had tons of fun but too damn many hillbilly quad riders there... One guy must have weighed 500#s and never got off his quad... even when he washed it! :shock: I wanted to get a pic of it but thought he would see me snapping a pic. I'm not lying.... it was quite a sight. There were a lot of little people out riding too... they are so cute to watch, just puts a smile on your face watching fearless youngins'!

I did hit a tree going about 40mph but my barkbusters and stabilizer made it a non-event. I simply was deflected back on course.. but made me pucker for sure. Another time my shoulder hit a root on an uprooted tree and that didn't feel to good but didn't get injured. I came out without ever laying the bike down, wrecking or even having any problems whatsoever with the bike. A perfect weekend in my books!

I will post some pics in the gallery but I didn't take too many because I wanted to ride more than take pics..... :supz:

I wanna see the 500# guy washing his quad while he's sitting on it!!....and probably taking a shower (him being nekkid) at the same time!!


Good to hear the tree was a 'non-event'. How did your last breakage work out?


Post a note about your brother's knee when you find out what's up...if you ever do. I'd like to hear what happened.

I put those springs in my brothers bike but they were shorter and just as weak as what he had in there whatever they were.
I ended up putting the old springs back in and adding some oil to them. They did OK but I need to rebuild them this winter. Actually I told him about Jason and he may just send them to him.

Fuz... We camped off the main road... as seen in the gallery you can get an idea of where we camped.
