Anybody up for a ride Saturday leaving from Manhattan and coming back to Manhattan? I will be on my plated dirtbike, so the rougher the better. It will be as much low maintenance roads as I can and minimum pavement. I have not mapped a route yet, but depending on the interest I may. A couple of guys exploring it is no big deal, but if we are more than that I need to plan ahead and lay out a route so we do not have to turn around with a bunch of bikes.
Just let me know by posting here. My only requirement is to be back to Manhattan by 4:30

If I wasn't headed out of town I'd take you up. Sounds like a fun ride. Hope you get some takers!

Whats your plated dirt bike?
I can sneak out for short little rides from time to time, but not all-dayers. I doubt you'd want to ride with me anyway as I heard you're a fast one. I'm not. That's why I ride a KLR.

540 KTM, Not sure how I got that reputation, I would love the company. It does not have to be an all dayer. You tell me if you want to ride morning or afternoon and I can swing by Manhattan before or after to pick you up. Just let me know.

You guys missed out on a nice ride, weather was almost perfect just got a little bit wet on the way back. Found some new low maintenance roads, not quite as good as box turtle but still pretty good! It is good to be back East!

Nope, no pictures I was too busy ridingSavage wrote:Where did you go (roughly)? Any pics?
See attached file of where I went, I took quite a few dead ends, that is part of discovering, sometimes it goes through and sometimes it does not so I have to ride it twice
