BARF Dirt Riders?

[OldFatGuy]

I know my way around Carnegie pretty well and would be happy to lead those who are less familiar. But you're right that it's not a good place for beginners. Hollister, on the other hand, seems to be much more for beginners than experienced riders. If you guys ever want to go to Carnegie, let me know. But Hollister isn't really worth the drive for me. I'd rather drive a little farther to Clear Creek and make a weekend out of it.

Steveac,

Metcalf is closed on sat for a race, read here http://www.parkhere.org/prkpages/moto.htm

I am into Hollister, been riding there off and on since I was 10 but have not been there since 1992 because I have been living abroad. Anyone that wants to go, PM me by tomorrow because I don't have a 'puter at home. If not, I will be in a black Toyota stepside (2WD). Look for the CR500 and whooped rider parked nearby :laughing :barf

How ironic. I was planning on picking up my DRZ from my mother-in-laws house in Hollister Saturday morning.Hmm..:teeth :shhh

 

[steveac]

hollister is big enough that if you dont have a good idea where people you know park, you arent likely to find them.. especially if youve never met them before.

i havent decided yet whether to go..
if i do..i will be in a black chevy silverado 1500 2wd
yamaha yz250

usually try to park on the main road out by the flat track.

 

[JeebusX]

Maybe we'll see ya there....

Of the OHV parks, Carnegie is my favorite because of all the hillclimbs and technical terrain. I have yet to have any problem with the aforementioned "idiots".

Didn't mean to offend if I did, I have just had too many close calls, and my boyfriend was hit by someone riding recklessly on a quad coming around a corner (the quad rider was going too fast, completely out of control, lost control and slammed into him on his bike). I have been there maybe 5 times and watched 3 people flown out, all from collisions with other bikes or quads. Just way too many people in too small an area, I no longer feel safe there.

 

[OldFatGuy]

No problem. I wasn't offended. I was just defending my favorite OHV park which can be, admittedly, a little crowded. Much better in the middle of the week.

"Spend $5000 on dirtbike and stuff and use it maybe once a month"

I myself went for the "spend $500 bucks and have everyone I know including myself beat the hell out of it" approach.

'85 KX250 that has had more damage in the year I've owned it than the 16 years previous! Dirtbikes are fun!!

Bad news, I will not be dirt riding this weekend. We had to change Jennifer's bike engine case (cracked) and we are still waiting for 2 oil seals... They did not come in today. A friend of mine is trying to get them from another source but it is very unlikely... Have fun and see you another time on the dirt (dust right now )

 

[JeebusX]

I am still going if anyone's interested. I will park up on the hill across from the TT track in a black Toy p/u. Let's ride!

 

[RZ331]

JeebusX and I will be at Hollister around 10am in a black Toyota and a green Ranger.

JoeBar~im sorry you two are going to have to miss the ride. Another time soon though!

 

[JJJAMN]

As soon as we see first Rain you will see me there.........

Till then

[JoeBar]

Green Ranger? You mean like this?

 

[JoeBar]

I am soooo mad I'll miss the green ranger!!! :laughing

 

[RZ331]

Green Ranger? You mean like this?

HEY!...where did you get that picture of me??:laughing :laughing

Well it was a killer day on the dirt for sure! Hollister was warm but not too hot, the trails were dusty as usuall, but nobody was on them:teeth :thumbup
JeebusX, my wifey, and I had a great day beating the crap out of ourselves, and we all came home in one peice.

Now tomorrow I get to ride the street...I love our country:flag

 

[JeebusX]

What a dust bowl it was yesterday! I spent the day eating DrZ's dust:cry

 

[longwaytofall]

i am going to be riding this friday, with a buddy of mine at hollister. i am leaving after school, so around 2 i hope to be there. we might go to metcalf instead, because it is closer. let me know what u guys think, mabey we wanna meet up!

 

[Probie]

ANY ONE UP FOR A RIDE AT MATCALF ON THUR AFTERNOON?

 

[steveac]

Got down to hollister at about 3pm with a friend..

Didnt see you guys.. but we hit most of the upper trails and some of the lower trails.

the weather was perfect. As far as riding in dust is concerned..
Id say im much more of a dust oriented person than a mud oriented person.

I may head down there when the weather get a little cooler.. buyt you wont find me there on a rainy day.
