Sweet pic!

Just go up and introduce yourself as your forum name. Don’t be shy

That's one of my many faults, I don't have a shy bone in my body! But I don't take my clothes off! HA!

What's funny is I went up and introduced myself to Smitty last year and he doesn't remember it!

 

[GRANITE]

this year i'll recognize a lot more names than I did last year. last year was a bit overwhelming to see how many pioneer's was there along with members

I plan to see more of the sights this year. I was pretty fixed in on the trail riding and regretted not taking in more of the surroundings. Also plan to take more pictures of others, some of the best pictures I have of me and the wife came from other members.

Yea I want to interact more with everyone this year too. Check out others rides and ideas they have used! Weather looks like it’s going to be wet so dust shouldn’t be a problem!

Perfect weather! My Dad and I will be arriving this Sunday night and ride all week, look us up when you get there. I had a bad head on crash in 01/02/ 2017, never forget it and was totally freaked out by all the traffic/rain on I40 and I75 by the time I got there, so It was pretty much a blur. That's why we'll be arriving Sunday night, a lot less traffic, plus gives me an excuse for more riding time! HA!

I am in the process of moving. You all have fun, be careful, and drink a cold one for me.

About 5 miles. More atv trails at the new location. LOL

Hey Guys,
Just wondering which P5 members are going this year? Won't be as many representing this year as there was last year for sure. I know @Chooglin is going, @100Acre , and @lee is always a staple. @Bad_bowtie and @JSPEED got rid of theirs, @Mudder was a maybe but at this point if you don't have a reservation you're probably not going? @DaddyDubbs ? Who else is going?
So far...

@trigger
@Chooglin
@100Acre
@ALM76
@Mudslyder
@markie
@Cavediver
@Bastardchild
@Porkchopexpress
@Red500

We were planning on it, but had to cancel - Hope you all have a great time.

Thanks Chuckie! Thought I was ready going in last year and ended up coming back with a list of things I needed to add. Hope I don't come back with another list.

There’s plenty of other rides scheduled throughout the year all over the country. You don’t have to be a looser.

Well the P5's that made it to the Takeover kicked a** again this year! I didn't hear of anyone having any issues. I know one of the Carnage prizes given at the raffle went to @100Acre and that was for tire issues, which I have no idea how you can do that much damage to a brand new set of tires on one ride but... lol?
Hooked up with @Normanator22 and his wife the first day for a great ride. We met in the morning so he could buy a Shield, he said it was their first time there and was looking for someone to ride with. That was our group, two P5's all day. His machine is set up well and he knows how to drive it so we had a blast. We went through some terrain that took some thought and pushing on the rops to get through. Only bottomed out a handful of times this year and don't believe I have any damage other than full of mud.
Second day was a nice cruise that @Choogsbro led. We had 6 machines in that group, I believe it was 3 Wolverines and 3 P5's. Had some mildly technical terrain for the 500 but nothing too crazy. It was a good group and we had fun. After better than 3 yrs of talking with him, I finally rode with @Chooglin !
Thanks everyone, glad we got to hang with you guys and your wives, just good people!

I really enjoyed this Takeover, I had a chance to talk with alot more members this year. @trigger wish we could have done more riding on Saturday , but I really didn't want to get stuck in the rain!
