Pioneer 500 attending 2018 Takeover ?

[Mudslyder]

I am in for the p5 ride. Someone just needs to give the p1000 group a way to contact us so we can come rescue them. That's what I want a video of. a p5 pulling a string of 1000's behind it. The little engine that could.

Going to give it hell. At the least might have to fly down and rent a machine. Wife says were going regardless which I’m ok with! Be just us this time.

I pulled a 1000 out in 2016. P5 in reverse has some serious torque

Ah ask @100Acre about the late night mud pit we were playing around in Idaho! I’m well aware the 500 can get other rigs out of trouble lol

 

[100Acre]

Me pulled three larger rigs out from the deep mires of an Idaho mountain mud pit. This happened many times. It t’was a night of lets get stuck! Finally I had me chance and I too found meself stranded quick in the quagmire of doom. Until we were rescued by the Steve and his trusty steed! Still missing that cedars trail in the swamp at the end. I don’t remember ever having had so much fun before. ‘Tis all @CumminsPusher ’s fault. I blame ‘im for a damnably good time!

 

[CumminsPusher]

I’d post the video of you making it across that mudpit but I’m afraid Honda would void your warranty after seeing you bounce your rev limiter in 4th skipping across that! Crazy ass. You sure made that a great weekend!

 

[GnomeRider]

@GnomeRider WTF??? I ain’t taking no riders, especially ain’t no big hairy white privileged men. That’s @JTW ‘s thang!
You cannot have my alter ego! It’s mine mine mine mine mine mine! Unless of course you have some funky thang Gnomobile hippity hoppity chicka chicka bang bang thang goin on that I don’t wanna know about.

Too funny! No Gnomobile just a short fat guy who thinks gnomes are misunderstood.

 

[GnomeRider]

Alright guys, I just hit up Jackal in another thread asking what the chances would be on him leading a ride for the P5's! He lives down there and knows these trails like they're his backyard. He stated the only problem would be getting all the P5's together for it. Why waste time searching for the cool spots when we can have a guided tour with another P5 that knows where he's going? Plenty of time to go back to them on your own later or check out other trails afterwards.
We'll have to work out the time specifics but chime in if you're down for this ride. We need to represent down there and a pack of ten or twelve 500's would be BA!

I'm in.

What about a Gnombikle? You gots one ‘o thems? I wholeheartedly agree with you that they’re totally misunderstood. I should know......I serv d in the Gnome Wars. I was a reluctant objectifier Samsquinch, I was made to smush them into pebbles. Which we used to fire the boilers in the great dragon like floating ships of Blloooooog. The ships when attacking would bellow out blasphemous booms of bowel like bombastic Blllooooogs. ‘‘Twas a sight to remember.

Been there done that....

 

[Chooglin]

We have 12 P500 attending so far and 1 maybe!!

@Gator will you be joining us ?

@Mudder I don't see your name on the list ?

 

[DaddyDubbs]

Can add another P500 to the list, just made reservations at the Comfort Inn. Coming in Thur.19th and leaving Sun.22nd. She said there was a RRB trail head right across the street from them, with a really cool accent too.

That's interesting, I asked about trailer parking but was not informed of the trail. Looks like we'll be there the same dates.

Wondered if it was an actual trail head, like with trailer parking, or if she just meant picking up the trail? Saw that you were going to be there and I'm looking forward to meeting you.
I was thinking... @Hondasxs or one of the mods should print off some cards with screen names and avatars to put on our machines, put it in a little slip sheet that you hang on your mirror or something. Be an easy way of knowing who's who.

I'm on the name tags!! Hoping to get a list as it gets closer. want to print screen names and have a place to write in your first name if you would like.
hanging tags is a great idea. ill looking that.

The trail does come down near the Comfort inn. there is no parking at the entry to the trail. You should be able to unload in the day use parking and leave your machine overnight at another members cabin or camp site. then you can drive your tow vehicle back and forth . its only 15 min drive by car.

Glad to hear it's in the works. This will be my first so I didn't know if it was already being done or not. Don't know how much more of a pita it would be to have their current avatar on there either but it would be a nice touch?

 

[Tramguage1]

Not sure about the avatar but at least the screen names.
The Comfort Inn will have a BUNCH of trailers with machine's in there parking lot.
Its a pretty lengthy trip from there to the grounds of RRB. If its wet its going to be a lengthy trip time wise.

Much has happened since I first mentioned joining the fun.
I have a new position in the company and I'm working out of another office.
My roll and responsibilities are yet to be fully defined.
The Takeover is bumping up against some big deadlines making it difficult for me to commit.
I ask to be forgiven for being non-committal.

Give me another couple of weeks and I should have a better picture of my work requirements.

(And thanks for asking)

EDIT: I'll be bringing a P700 to the ride.
