man there isnt any nice tracks around hhaha....have you heard about chuck mudges place i have been there once but i didnt get to ride over summer theres open riding there every wed. and it is a sweet track that would be a little big for minis but still fun other than that like nothin....i live in ottawa lake/ whiteford area

tooldini · 03-19-2008, 11:40 AM

I have never been to his house but I have seen it many times and it looks pretty professional. I used to race big bikes with him in the 80's LOL. Have you ever been out to morroco road it is the dead end section near US 23 not much of a track but it can be kinda fun just whipping around, it is mostly sand and wood chips lots of whoops. there is a track there but last time I was there is was all nasty they never groom it. It is free but they have a donation box I usually put a few bucks in it. There is a bulldozer there but I don't think they ever use it, I actually never got there last year so it could be different. The two houses I am curious about are in the area. One is loacted maybe 1 mile down from Mudges on the same side of the road. The other is located off of Dixie hwy I think it is Luna Pier rd. Both look like perfect tracks for fiddys. What kind of bike do you have?

Prosource has a minis ride this satureday night from 6 to 9 pm i beleive. prosourcesuzuki.com

DNRCustoms · 03-19-2008, 11:54 AM

I have a nice track , I might have a couple ride days this year. It is a intermediate level track. I am In the richmond area. So once the snow melts, and we get some good weather, it will be good.

mxtuner06 · 03-19-2008, 12:20 PM

i am pretty sure march 8th was the last night which stinks because i only made it once

tooldini · 03-19-2008, 09:12 PM

I just heard from a guy on ******** that April 5th would be the last pitbike night. I had ACL surgery Jan 9th so not sure if my knee is up to it. April 2nd I am getting fit for CTI brace so I am sure he will let me know if I can ride or not.

ryan2282 · 03-19-2008, 09:15 PM

Mike this staurday is open ride from 10am-5pm. $20 i believe. aboout 6 of us are heading out there. BUt yes april 5th is pitbike night only. were trying to have them let a few of us design the track. if so be ready for an awesome track.

tooldini · 03-19-2008, 09:17 PM

Mxtuner I only have an XR 50 right now. Has an Tak 88 hyper s stage, works shock, KLX 110 forks, all black plastic, various fast 50 parts, Renthal bars, with a riser kit I got off ebay

I had a Honda 350X ATC and Yamaha Blaster but sold both recently.

ryan2282 · 03-19-2008, 09:21 PM

ryan2282 · 03-20-2008, 08:45 AM

Ok i see now in the pic you posted. you guys gotta come out the 5th.

mxtuner06 · 03-20-2008, 11:16 AM

im gonna try n make it but who knows it seems any other weekend i would be good to go but like the week before somethin always comes up on me

tooldini · 03-20-2008, 07:10 PM

I plan on it at least to watch,, I almost got mine out today but still nervous about the knee. I think I would be alright just to shoot around the yard a bit.

ryan2282 · 03-20-2008, 07:13 PM

Just had mine out for a bit. gettin a feel for the new shock and swingarm. felt decent. not sure how its gonna jump guess ill find out. motor liked the bit warmer weather i could tell.

tooldini · 03-21-2008, 09:06 AM

That swinger looks really nice what shock do you have on there?

mxtuner06 · 03-21-2008, 09:27 AM

TOOLDINI what kind of paint did u use on your frame and swinger n how is it holden up... i half painted mine on the subframe but i want to paint the whole thing either black or red

tooldini · 03-21-2008, 10:14 AM

when I bought it the guy had painted it red, I think he actually powder coated it. it is holding up really well. We need to keep this thread going maybe the owners of those homes with show face. I think if we went to mudges we could probably find whom owns that house down the street

There are probably some good spray paints that would work well I am just not sure which ones.
