2018 PIONEER TAKEOVER - April 20 & 21 - Ride Royal Blue!

[Plumber32]

I have been away on the road, last time I was on them was 10 days ago. Most of it will be ok but there are spots that can be tricky. If you are used to riding in that type of terrain will motor right through, those that get excited in the ruts tend to tip over sliding off into them or getting high centered trying to push foot down through the middle.

It's a matter of keeping momentum not getting too happy with the gas pedal all while keeping your line when you straddle them.

What has made some trails really bad are jeeps now venturing into trails normally only traveled by ATV & SXS. Once they get to spinning the 36"+ tires there are ruts that most sxs bottom out on.

It's alot more fun with a lift some big tires and loud exhaust! Speaking of that when are you going to mod out your 16 pioneer?

I’m sure it’s not changed much. Its been raining pretty heavy all night and today. I live 26 miles from RRB.

Following a loud exhaust all day is annoying, but I have broken 3 axles, bent 4 tie rods, tweaked an A arm, flipped several times. So @JTW doesn't have the market cornered. I can break stuff with the best of them. The key is not hold up a group that came to ride instead of staring at someone's asscrack while wrenching on the trail. Luckily I have only held up people once in my shenanigans.

While I did see some ass crack... the plumber, CP and the guy that put the ride together @joeymt33 were all behind me 100% of the time. Technically, I was just waiting on them too... just so happened my stuff got worked on in the waiting! I was just trying to follow Trail etiquette and not leave the guy behind ya... I figured the best way to do that was to tear up some axles.

That was a perfect example for us all to have communications, I didn't and we were motoring up Dragonsback I see 4 machines behind me thinking everyone's rolling. We get to the top only 5 of us? Ok well heck can't really get lost, trails wasn't that hard so rest of group should be up anytime. Time goes by still nothing, a radio call could have saved a lot of frustration or at least wondering WTH is going on. Not going to happen again got 4 high power radios, at least people should be able to get in touch.

I agree..
And me too!!

 

[Plumber32]

I broke down and bought a radio. Just a hand one, but at least @JTW can call me for help!

 

[swsebek]

Even if your not really wanting to communicate. Entertainment value alone should be worth it

Is there a group frequency?

Ya, figured you were kidding. We used our CB's last year and they sucked when you go over a hill or around a corner. We are bringing some baofeg walkie talkies that we use around here this time. We should get there early Thursday. See you there.
