Some friends of mine pulled in a while ago and said it's already jam packed!  WOO HOO!

Hmmm.... guess they will just be there for the party, huh?  We are only a few miles from the Iron Horse, David Alan Coe will be there all week.  We'll see enough of him by MS&G but it should still be a fun time.  
But, we at least finally decided to go.  But, we are gonna head over early Saturday morning, hang all day and evening then go to a motel and get a shower!  Don't know if we will go back Sunday a.m. or head home.  Guess it will depend on our condition!!!  There will be 6 of us staying at the hotel and another 6 or 8 camping at L-Cross.  Hope we get to meet some of ya'll there!!!

Does anyone know what this "rodeo" is gonna be??

It's in Samsula (Near New Smyrna).  If you can't make the Rabbit Run, you DEFINITELY gotta do the Pumpkin Run in October!  But there is plenty of room for camping, no hook-ups, no showers, port-o-lets only.  But tons of ATV's!  Last year the Rabbit Run was SUPER, MISERABLY DUSTY.  Hopefully there will be lotsa rain in March (except bikeweek  ) !!

This is gonna be GOOD.... they have changed it some.  There is a "family ride" starting at 6:30, then at 7:30 it's dirtbikes and 2WD atv's then at 8:30 it's everyone else!  BUT, there are three options:  Course A:  Run the entire course
                          Course B:  Run the first 15 miles with a bail out before the tough stuff...OR
                          Course C:  Straight to the Mud!!
I'll take course "C", but for the sport quads, the first 15 miles will be good!  That should take care of all of the backup like they had at the Pumpkin Runs.  Entry forms will be available online this weekend & they are mailing out entry forms to past participants on Monday.  You CANNOT ride the grounds unless you are entered in the run!

Okay ya'll I just checked the appollo motorcycle club website and it's official:  The Rabbit Run will be April 2nd  [smiley=ThumbsUp.gif]  !!  WOO HOO!! Now let's all pray for a rainy March!!!!!

I posted this on the "Show off your Dog" post also, but it's so funny I'm gonna post it here too!!!

The "CRACK"!!!   [smiley=Disapprove.gif]

Holes #2 & #3

Turns out, all said & done, I spent $510!!!!!  The $360 didn't include everything we needed!  Thought ya'll might like to see the "damage"!!!!  Here come some pictures...
Hole #1

Should work just like a car deal.  They will give you "x" amount for the ATV, pay off what you owe and you use whatever is leftover for the down payment on the motorcycle and they should finance that too.  Shouldn't be any problem as long as they will give you more than you owe on the ATV!  You'll just have to see how it works, you may do better by selling your ATV outright.

Okay, here goes.....we are ordering a new one from the local Honda dealer around here.  $360, that was the cheapest price we could find....next cheapest was $389 and then two prices of $450 each!!  Figured that would be safer than getting a used one because no telling how long that would last either!  I called the # for Mike w/ the Salvage Yard but just got an answering machine, I called D&C but he didn't have anything laying around (but did offer to order), I checked the one on Ebay but it was for an 88' model and the one I need only fits 02 & 03.  Summit's price was $450.  So, here goes.......broke again!...NO, Broke STILL!  [smiley=Unhappy.gif]   Thanks for all of your help and suggestions!!!!  

You guys are awesome!  Thanks for all of the info!  I'll be busy trying to locate one today.  I don't have a pic, but I'll get one, it's cracked and has TWO holes in it (front & back). He was just messing around in a ditch in front of my friend's house and it's pretty deep & muddy, he said:  "I just heard a loud pop and my front wheels quit turning!"  After he got pulled out, we checked it and saw that mess!  It must have just been a matter of time because he's been through a LOT worse than that ditch!  Poor guy, talk about a LONG face!  

Thanks 8!  I love ebay!  I checked there already and didn't find one, but did find a guy who sells a BUNCH of atv parts, so I emailed him....waiting for a reply now.  Found a new one $$$  :-/
But, it may come down to that!

About 20 minutes ago my son tore out the front differential on his 2002 Rancher ES!!!  Anyone know where I can find a used front end???  We gotta get him up and running!!!!  Any suggestions would help!  

I'm not thinking Scottsmore is included....just last weekend Muddy Waters ATV club held a clean up there and a representative for the land owner donated $100 for the dumping of the trash.  Doesn't sound like it's closed down.....sure would hate THAT!

Well, some friends of mine are the ones who schedule it on behalf of the landowners and they haven't set a date yet...just got of the phone w/ them.  But from what I understand, the m/c club gets dates together then gets w/ landowner's to see if that'll work and they go from there.  So it looks like it's still up in the air.  But, April 2nd works for me!  Hope we get a bit of RAIN before then....the dust was AWFUL last year!!!!!   [smiley=Disapprove.gif]

How 'bout this doorbell???!!!!

Scooter, look for us!  I'm on a Red Honda 450 w/ Vampires, hubby is on a Green Polaris 700 w/ lift and 28" 589's.  We probablywon't get to the parking lot til around noon, but after that we will be looking for the mud!  Maybe we can hook up!

Yeah, GOD FORBID, you were out doing something with your kid instead of out buying/selling drugs, stealing, etc. while your kid was at home in front of a TV!!!  It really stinks that you can't just go somewhere and have some clean (or dirty) fun with your kid!  Were there "No Trespassing" signs posted???

I'm DYING to go...planning on going Saturday....I'll take my chances on the traffic!  Hopefully we will have some friends going too, but if not....we are going anyway!

How to spot a rich guy.....

Well, I don't like to hear that story either.  My hubby is a cop and he always brings a gun when we ride.  It makes me nervous....I don't like guns.  But, I guess if were got into that kinda situation it would come in handy....or cause a gunfight, either one!  

I just read all the previous posts and a funny thing...that Nextel speaker thing....I have a Nextel BUT when I'm in public I turn it to "private" and talk, I cannot STAND to hear someone else's conversation blaring across the room, ESPECIALLY when all they have to do is push a button and put the phone to their EAR!!  And the next most annoying peeve is walking out of a restaurant into a CLOUD of cigarette smoke.  Now, don't any of you smokers get mad....I know ya'll are having it rough, BUT, if you didn't smoke you would realize just how annoying it is to those of us that don't smoke.  And I am glad that at least it's not in the restaurants anymore. I have smokers in my family who get mad at me for complaining about it but I can't even look forward to holiday dinners because I know there will be three HEAVY smokers there.  

That sounds good!  I'm sure you will be getting $$ from us! And, once word spreads, the events will get bigger and bigger! Somehow a friend of ours heard about it but I had a hard time finding out about it on the computer, I actually had to go to David Alan Coe's website and look on his tour schedule to find it!  But, I'm in Ormond Beach, so now the word has made it this far!!!
