[Riven]

My name is Jason I’m 33 I live in central Ontario. I have worked as a Machinist/welder for the past 13+ years.
I have been married for four years & have two kids. My stepson is 8 & my daughter is 3. They both have their own atvs, leaving my poor wife the only one without wheels.
Having two kids means I don’t get out ATVing nearly as much as I should.

Hello gang!
Some of you know me from a couple of other forums, but being this is my first post here I'll do the intro thang.

I'm Mark (or just Reb...whatever), living in Peoria Illinois, 42 yrs old, single, no kids except for the 2 cats and my best buddy Kaiser--German Shepherd Dog.
I work for Caterpillar in the Mapleton foundry making the molds that get poured for the 3600 series engine. Been there for 13 years now.
Almost bought an 07 HD FXSTC last September, but decided not to since riding season was just about over, so I got the quad instead (first one), and have been having a freakin BLAST on it ever since. I still want the Harley someday, but I've been totally focused on this new hobby, and can't imagine dividing my time with another toy just yet.

Thanks buddy. Hey got a question for you, what is the file format of the GPS files you or I would share? I'll look into seeing if its something we can upload right to the forum to share rather than mailing out a cd or something like that.

I know we can load the following file types, will one of these work, like maybe the zip files format?

bmp
doc
gif
jpe
jpeg
jpg
pdf
png
psd
txt
zip

[DAN-O-MITE]

Rubberdown you have a gps?

What I have is a Lowrance*urs* format

But I use GPSBabelGui to convert it to whatever format....on GPSexchange.com

the formats your talking about are pic formats....I don't know if it can be done...but I try playing around with it

Also during the trip I traced hardcopies of them .....and if you want I can scan the pages and send them to you....see if you like them.....

let me know

email me

dananddeb@sympatico.ca

actually do you have a chatroom setup?....no....then try me at
msn @ dananddeb@sympatico.ca
or
yahoo @ imyru2005

tc

[Rubberdown]

You should be able to zip just about any file, I listed every file type we can use here, I dont know what a few of them are though LOL.

My gps is the Garmin 60csx, and it saves the tracks as a .gdb file type.

[DAN-O-MITE]

if you go to gpsexchange.com

I have the track in your format for the kearney run

Hello all. I'm Rudy aka "Donut Slayer". Yes, I'm a cop in real life, but dont hold that against me. I have a 02 Polaris 700 (popo's rule) and my wife has a 02 Polaris 400. We both have to fight our 2 kids to be able to ride them. I'm into just about anything outdoors such as hunting and fishing but I'm just about tired of this florida heat. I'm gonna move to montana!

[Rubberdown]

Thats a real nice family you have there Barbara, I'm glad you listened to your son and logged on, hes a pretty smart cookie when it comes to this stuff.

Hey Rudy, I hope your not one of those "power tripping" cops are you, or are you really more of a laid back donut slayer like the name claims LOL????

[BOOMERANG]

Thanks RD. Boilermaker and Polaris700 can get anything fixed and running again. The only thing I know about ATV's is, it's gotta have a full tank of gas when we go riding. And it's gotta look good!

[Clubin]

Holy Moly there are people on here from all over the world.

[Rubberdown]

Yah, and you see what you started with this thread, we gots people from everywhere, even FRANCE for cryin out loud :D

Hey did your dealer like the kits he got, have you heard anything from him?

[Clubin]

Yes, I was there yesterday and he had one installed on a 08 500X2 he thought the quality was superb, and the install was a snap, he did not have to grind the struts, and every thing appears to clear just fine, I ground mine, what was different with mine or didn I not need to grind them? He was very happy.

I have to get some of cd's boots, if they are as good as he says they are, my dealer will be buying some of them too. But I will try a set first.

[Rubberdown]

Even though it may look fine, most machines will need the struts ground, but some for some unknown reason are okay without doing it. I sold a kit to 3 guys that all ride togehter, 1 of them is on the show with me and all of them left the struts alone but 1 guy just kept eating up boots in the front 1 after another. finally he ground down the struts and he is fine with no more boot issues. I dont get it, so i recommend ALWAYS grinding them down.

[Rubberdown]

Oh ya, tell him that if I ever get my next run of bar ends done to expect a pair with his company name on them, I'm sure he will want some for his new machines once he sees a set on a machine with his name lasered on them ;)-

[Clubin]

Paul, you should be a salesman lol.... I sear I had to grind mine, they were touching the strut, but on the new one I looked at at the dealer, there was a ton of room I don't know.

[PoPoRZR]

Some has room some dont....I dunno what they do differnt but it is something...

[Rubberdown]

Paul, you should be a salesman lol.... I sear I had to grind mine, they were touching the strut, but on the new one I looked at at the dealer, there was a ton of room I don't know.

Hi I'm Todd, I'm 24 and live in Bracebridge Ontario. I'm a licensed Auto Service Technician at the local Ford store. I've been workin on cars all my life. Been at the Ford store almost 6 years now. I've always been into sleds, but the winters are getting worse and worse so 4 years ago I traded the sled in on a Scambler. Loved it to death but it just wouldn't do the mud how I wanted. So last Christmas I bought an 07 SP 500 EFI. It's lifted, loud and goes just about anywhere. I'm lovin it

SCRAMMYTODD You got any good trails down your way? Im getting a bit tired of going to Kearney all the time to do 99% of my riding. I hope to be able to get out more often next year & want to explore the local area trails.
Im in Burks Falls so its not too far to haul down your way.

& welcome to the forum!

[SCRAMMYTODD]

Theres a pretty good section of crown land between HW118 and 117. It goes all the way from Vancoughnet to hw 35. It crosses on to some of the Haliburton Atv Trails as well. That's where I spend 95% of my time. I camp in there every long weekend as well. You can ride all day and not touch the same trail. If you ever want to meet up for a ride after hunting season let me know.

[bmdjmd]

as long as you dont mind a yamaha i wouldnt mind checking those trails out myself. Hey riven any ETA on the motor job??

[SCRAMMYTODD]

The more the merrier. But I would like to wait untill after hunting season. LOL I'm pretty loud and some of the hunters out there don't agree with my saying "loud pipes save lives" LOL

[Riven]

as long as you dont mind a yamaha i wouldnt mind checking those trails out myself. Hey riven any ETA on the motor job??

The parts have been on order for the last 3-4 weeks with no sign of them yet:mmph:

I plan to call again today for an update.


Both bmdjmd & myself run loud exhaust. & i wont disturb someones hunt just for a little riding time no matter how bad i want to get out.

If i do get my bike back any time soon i will look into comming down your way for a fall ride

It crosses on to some of the Haliburton Atv Trails as well. That's where I spend 95% of my time. I camp in there every long weekend as well. You can ride all day and not touch the same trail. If you ever want to meet up for a ride after hunting season let me know.


Will i need a trail pass to ride down your way?

[SCRAMMYTODD]

No. The HATV trails are still on Crown land, so where it's crown it's a free pass. And I've never seen a Warden even on the Non-Crown land lol I don't think they enforce it nearly as much as the OFSC.

[Riven]

OK sounds good.

Hey I'm Bailey, from Kimberly AL. I love to mud ride and my son who is 9 is following in my footsteps, he rides a 07 Grizz 350 snorkled and 27" tires. He has competed in 2 bogs his best finish is 4th in the 499cc and under. I will dive off in any hole, will try anything once twice if I like it. Thanks for the welcome.

Some folks really take the post count thing very serious.I did the mod thing for a little while on a couple of forums and the number one complaint I got was regarding post counts not being accurate.Post counts were to high or to low or were way off,blah,blah.I think the main admin. of the forums messed with folks post counts for the hell of it.

[PoPoRZR]

LMAO Yeah it would have been funny LOL

[CroatanSp700]

Names Jason, I'm 19. I'm working partime at a glass shop and taking class at a community college at the same for Machining. I stay busy between the two. I went from a fully modded Honda Foreman to my Polaris, but working parttime doesn't really give me much $$ to spend on the bike. But she won't be stock for long.

[Mole]

We need to get together and ride at Busco sometime Jason. I live in Apex. I plan on going before the end of the year. I need to get some new rubber put on this POPO first though.

Lookin for a SNORKEL that hopefully wont have to cut into TOO much.
Has anyone put in a cam in there's?? I got a hotcams stage one for the Polaris just not sure if I'm gonna put it in yet... Little more work involved than I was first under the impression of. And I'm hesitant on tearin WAY into the motor till I have to (HOPEFULLY NOT) anytime soon..

Hello torkmonster, I'd really like to hear about the results of that cam if you ever put it in.

[shady357]

I also was interested in a CAM, but i decided to wait until i am forced to open up the motor...Once its open you might as well totally trick-it-out.....

[Rebel64]

Very good point. Might as well do it all right.

Welcome Adam.

Did you say you work for a farmer FULL TIME, like all year long? Arent you in highschool?

[Mole]

i work for a great farmer full time then when im off there im either out riding or help some one farmer out. i just like to work.

My uncle used to farm full time and I always helped him in the summers when I was out of school. I don't miss farming one bit and find logging to be much more exciting work. I also hate to work but LOVE to make money.:D:D

[harmonsbrute]

[PoBoy800]

Hi. My name is Bob. 51 is just around the corner so you can call me gramps or old man (like everyone at work) or I answer to Bob too. I've been an electronics tech for most of my life and got back into aviation about 5 years ago. Originally from Colorado and then spent 18 years in Dallas, Texas. Presently living in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Work on the V-22 Tiltrotor aircraft at New River Marine Air Station. I also teach avionics maintenance as well. I'm new to ATVs. Used to spend all my money on Motorcycles and Ultralights. This seems safer although my girlfriend might disagree. Love doing wheelies and hate washin the damn thing off. First mud puddle I went thru at Busco Beach was the last (I got 1 bike length). Had to ride home with grit in my underwear. Aaaahhhh, the memories!:laugh:

[Rebel64]

Howdy Bob, sounds like a pretty cool job you have there. Are you a vet?

[Riven]

My name is Jason I’m 33 I live in central Ontario. I have worked as a Machinist/welder for the past 13+ years.
I have been married for four years & have two kids. My stepson is 8 & my daughter is 3. They both have their own atvs, leaving my poor wife the only one without wheels.
Having two kids means I don’t get out ATVing nearly as much as I should.

Update

I now also run my own ATV business. I sell China built ATVs for kids & adults as well as the parts for them. Let me know if their is anything i can help you out with.

[PoBoy800]

Ex Air Force (6 years)

[Rebel64]

Cool, here too. 82-91 in Munitions (AMMO)
IYAAYAS!!!

[PoBoy800]

I was in 74 to 80. Worked on F-4's mostly with a year or two on c-130's. Avionics! Yeah, I was a nerd.

[PoBoy800]

I take alot of grief from the marines down here but I just tell them the marines rejected me cause I had a brain.

[Rebel64]

LOL good comeback to the jarheads! I work with several of them, and when they try to give me grief about the AF being such an easy job, I tell them that is was us that kept their wives happy while they were out stroking themselves and making gay porno movies. That incident still doesn't sit too well with them, but it shuts them up!!!

[PoBoy800]

LOL! I'll have to use that one. Just might shut them up. Or provoke a fight (they do love to fight you know).

[PoBoy800]

It's kind of funny cause they (the marines) always tell me the best time they had was when they got to stay at an Air Force installation. The food was better, the barracks was nicer, etc.

[Rebel64]

LOL...they definitely are just jealous that they didn't join up with the best branch!!! :)
