[JACKAL]

My brother and I will take the second group. Just supply me with the map/route you are taking !

We both have radios but would like to have at least one more buggy in our group that also has a radio !

Thanks will set you up tomorrow night. I'm on the road until tomorrow afternoon

Ok everyone getting into the organization stage for this P500 ride. With 30+ P500 it's going to be like herding cats as @lee so accurately described. I still need 2 or 3 helpers experienced P500 guys that we can sift into the group about every 7 machines. Any volunteers? @Chooglin @trigger if so speak up and will add you to organizing committee thread.

Meanwhile this is the best we can hope for:

I'm down for helping out, whatever you need Jackal.

I thought I was going to be out of the country during takeover, but I changed my trip around a bit and I actually might be able to make it.

My wife works that weekend, so I would have my 10 and 11 year old with me. I can only seat one with me, so any chance of someone willing to let my 11 yr old son ride with them? He is a skinny lad at only 55 lbs but is a respectful young man (or he gets beat, er I mean put in time out).

If I get that piece worked out, I will have to figure out where I can park my toyhauler. I don’t mind dry camping, I have batteries and a generator on board.

Thoughts?

I have a primitive site paid for that I won't be using cause I managed to get a full hookup site. You're welcome to use it.

I will have an empty seat in my P5 cause my wife will have our kids in our P1k so he's welcome to ride with me. Though I will probably put him on camera duty from time to time...lol.

 

[jay_man81]

I'm willing to help anyway I can. I will be busy maning camera's and getting some great action shots too but if there's something I can help with let me know!

Ok the following people should get an invite soon for the planning group. This is for the P500 Saturday ride.

@lee
@trigger
@Chooglin
@Choogsbro
@Bad_bowtie

The plan will be to have two groups mostly P500 with other families tagalong likely 40 machines total. Ideally will have a leader, one mid pack, and a chaser for each group of about 20 machines. We need radios for the six of us, I know Chooglin and his brother are set, I have two to loan and will be getting 2 more this week. So if you have one great speak up, if not we will have enough to get by.

 

[Choogsbro]

I strongly encourage all to get maplets. I t works well if you have nothing else.

Once we get into the planning thread I got everyone covered that don't have any gps set up.

I have maps for RRB in my gps and the paper map that shows the trail system and points of interest. What kind of radios and how much are they?

As soon as your brother posted frs I started looking at them. So regardless of brand we can still communicate if on the same channel right?
