Ride at RRB in Tennessee September 24 -26

Ridinfool · Sep 27, 2020

This ride was a great teaching opportunity for #1GS, out on the trails s🤬t happens, first and foremost is the person/people alright, second how do we fix whatever the problem is. Staying cool and calm let’s get this done so everybody goes home. This group stepped up in a HUGE way on both days and showed him how it’s done. I am blessed to be a part of this awesome group, can’t wait to ride with you guys again.

Oh my goodness, when I returned from RRB my first trip that is exactly what my machine (Gumbeaux) looked like. Thanks so much for all the picks.

I thought he did great on the trail. I’ve seen many grown ass men not be able to ride a four wheeler as good as he did.

Yeah man, ain’t gonna lie, I was a little nervous a couple times when we were climbing those rock sections. He’s a good kid, that’s why I didn’t mind bringing him to this ride.

Bummed we didn't get to meet up with more of you guys to put a face with the name. It's really hard to coordinate when one group has service and the other doesn't and vice versa, lol.

It was good finally meeting you @TripleB 👍

@Hondasxs , @Vondy , and myself put in a little over 200 miles. We lost @Hondasxs machine to a ripped upper frame tab on our way to hells canyon Friday morning. We had it field repaired in about 30 minutes and headed back out to load it on the trailer. Whatever he hit also punctured the tire, which we thought was the problem and led us to find the torn frame tab. He hopped in with Vondy for the rest of the trip.

Hondasxs took out an axle as well.... That corner of his buggy took a beating

I wrecked a tie-rod at some point Wednesday night

@Vondy made it out unscathed other than getting dirty helping us fix our rigs 😂. Well other than turtling it once...

We went and checked out "3 Legs" over by the sand mines. Pretty crazy

I don't feel so bad about my broken upper a-arm bolt 2 weeks ago after seeing Dezrik and @Hondasxs tear up way worse than mine last weekend and this weekend

I need to make another run of those. I think I sent out 20 or so, maybe more when I ran that last batch. Might resurrect the thread in a few days

Not completely unscathed. I think my nerf bars are tweaked some, nothing major considering all the hard hits they took. Also need to look at my driver door, after being hyperextended it goes back too far and the rear door can hit it when opening, pretty minor as well.

Great time as always! Probably take me all week to clean machine, camping gear and truck.

Adam490 · Sep 27, 2020

Ah ha! Caught him red handed, that rat bastard. Found another damn rock about 30 minutes ago when I went to get my charge cable out of my glove box (wait.... Can I say that yet?)

Great 95 mile ride today. 14 machines in 12 hours. Rain made it interesting to say the least. will let others post videos on that 🤣

I know I'm missing names but here is honorable mention of the ones my feeble mind recalls.....

@TripleB @Ridinfool @Backwoods @TitanTom @lee @100Acre Hey 50/50 isn't bad 🤔

Too Foggy for any scenic overlooks, but here is what they missed.

That pic of my buggy on the ridge at Cupp Gap is awesome. The other side is a huge drop off

We were digging ginseng and my dad found a rattlesnake under a rock. When my sons and I got to him to see the snake we realized there was more than 1. 3 rattlesnakes and 3 copperheads under the same rock. 1 of the small copperheads got me on the finger when we were trying to get the last rattlesnake out from under the rock. I still took these pics after I was bit because I'm a REAL MAN lol.. Thats my son holding them in the pic.

Hummmmm... I need to get a baby copperhead to keep in my pocket if the swelling makes things that big!

JenElio · Sep 28, 2020

Ok I'm a little late to the party with my end of the pics. Been making my way down to FL little by little. Here's a few shots, im sure there might be some similar to others posted so bear with me 😉
