Total Newbies in Athens Ga

[Trails2Unplug]

Well my wife and I pulled the trigger on a 400 mile 2023 R.

We know very little about the sxs world but I have ridden sport quads for years.

Hoping to learn from the experience here on the forum.

Would like to know about any group rides in or around GA.

Also, not gonna be hill climbing or serious rock crawling, any “must haves” before we hit the trails?

Welcome from the once great state of Colorado.

I recommend a 1/2" Trail Armor skid - yes, expensive, but the first time you hit something that you didn't see, you'll be glad.

New Talon Owners - First Things to Know and Check

I'm new to the SxS world - damn, there's a lot to learn, hence this thread - maybe we can make it easier for others new to the Talon and put it in one thread. 1. If you're a motorcyclist, you already know that sometimes your bike won't shift into gear at a stop without rocking the bike back and...

What did you do to/with your Talon today?

Copying ehart814's Pioneer 500 thread and DG Rider's Pioneer 700 thread - if you did something to (or with) your Talon and don't want to start a new thread for one or two posts, here's the place. Ideas, mods, best photos, stucks, recoveries 😳 - whutcha got? Cigarette lighter accessories are...

There’s a place called Indian Mtn just over the Alabama line that is a great day trip. I go occasionally.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

Now I’m playing on google maps trying to find county roads I can use to get to work when the weather warms up!

Go to the build threads and see what you like. I would 100% recommend skid plates just for piece of mind. The rest is up to you.

Be warned, it gets costly but it’s LOADS of fun.

Welcome from the Vol State too.

Welcome from Alabama. If you plan on spending an amount of money equal to the cost of your R you're in the right club, we like spending other peoples money, just ask us. 🤣

BTW, near the bottom of the main page you can find some ride info in the section "Regional Forums".

Welcome from SE Tennessee.

There's Durhamtown Offroad Park and Iron Mountain that are both close to Athens. I've never been to either one but want to try them some day.

Another welcome from Ga.
Congrats on the new buggy.
Durhamtown and iron mtn are decent day trips.
TN or Hatfield Mccoy for serious riding.
