Yes Rob they will be cool. They won't be trying to be crazy & pass us or anything like that. Like I said it is my roommate & his son which is only 9.

T2 · August 31, 2005, 12:00:08 AM

IMO, the last speed ride we went on, I'm glad I didn't take my son because he would have never been able to keep up with the pace. When that happens you slow the rest of the pack down by waiting for the slower riders to catch up because you don't want to leave anybody in the forest by them selves. My son was 11 at the time and he rides petty fast in the woods just not fast enough for the speed ride. When we say speed ride its a speed ride WOT and don't let off.
BTW I'm not saying don't take the kid thats just an opinion of mine.

Thats why I asked if there is going to be a slower ride for people who are not going to be WOT.

I would as well.

TRX450R_Racer · August 31, 2005, 12:35:21 PM

I don't think a kx65 will keep up.

cubnfrank · August 31, 2005, 01:42:45 PM

I not buying it Dreth, I've got those same excuses,

bad knee, broke never enough $$$, my wife & kids are always sucking me dry. Dude this is gonna be a great ride. Anyway, I Hope to see ya saturday.

T2 · August 31, 2005, 02:07:16 PM

Yea Dreth, you set this ride up,and now you are going to let everyone down by not showing up. I known you for a while now and your no quitter so suck it up and ride

.

Ride1Rob · August 31, 2005, 03:19:48 PM

I have to agree w/ T2 110 pecent. This is definitley not a ride for a 9 year old. There may need to be 2 groups this Saturday. Is there anyone that wants to ride this w/e that don't really think they can keep up on the Speed ride? We have quite a few bikes that'll be there this w/e so we should be able to get 2 nice groups. The 2nd group won't be a slowpoke group, but not quite as fast as the Speed group.

MxRacingChick21 · August 31, 2005, 04:12:31 PM

Wasn't somebody (?Hollywood?) saying they were going to be there with their family and hanging out at the pits and stuff? They could just hangout with them. Could be wrong but I thought thats what I read.

TRX450R_Racer · August 31, 2005, 04:28:35 PM

Shawn you need to be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I let money and my wife stop me I would never ride or go anywhere.

its not my wife! she just lets me know when i need to hustle up some extra cash to keep from dipping into the savings! not to mention the fuel rations that florida has recieved!! ITS TRUE! OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS FUEL WILL BE SCARCE!!!!!!

I SAY WE CANCEL THIS RIDE TILL THE END OF OCTOBER!
Or Yall can go on this one and i will post another one for the end of october

felix_z-4 · August 31, 2005, 05:54:47 PM

My only problem for not going would be if there is no fuel available.Most stations around here are already empty.If theres fuel to buy,I'm there..Who else?

atvaltz · August 31, 2005, 06:02:21 PM

the gas situation is a rumor lol

my uncle drives and delivers gas and he said they are a few days behind but there will be gas.right now the stations are empty because of that rumor everyone is running and filling up lol.

well i already made plans around this weekend i am going no matter what.I have race fuel,and my truck has a full tank so i am ready.Plus i was sweatin I disagree off getting my bike ready to go yesterday.

TRX450R_Racer · August 31, 2005, 06:16:29 PM

I heard on the radio that they will dip into the surplus if needed. I also heard Port Everglades is up and running again. Getting gas should be no problem, paying for it is a different story. I hope everone else is still in. I hope at least someone that knows thier way around the forest.

YFZ450-Tampa · August 31, 2005, 06:16:52 PM

Hummmmmmm !!!!!!!!! over 30 riders were confirm to go for the ride, now at the last moment the one who start all over quit ... nice
Like "atvltz", I also made the plans to go over this weekend, I'll be there arround 9:00 am, I'm pretty sure the other guys that said "we are going" will keep their word, so I'll see you guys there.

Wayne, Rob, Felix, I count on you guys

felix_z-4 · August 31, 2005, 06:27:58 PM

Like I said if got fuel,I'm there.I don't care if is $4 a gallon.Is not no rumor,Homey.Just a little while ago about 4 or 5 stations where already empty.Don't you worry Luis,I got your back..

atvaltz · August 31, 2005, 06:35:36 PM

i will be there i dont know my way around but i will be there

YFZ450-Tampa · August 31, 2005, 07:11:40 PM

Cool, I "smashed" my GPS, I'll see if I can fix it, but I know a lot of the trails, and I'm sure a lot of guys know many others, so we will be OK.

A lot of people is buying more gas that what they need, thats why a lot of gas stations are runing out, but I'm sure they will fill back by tomorrow

atvtrailer · August 31, 2005, 07:32:43 PM

im definly gonna stil be there, i have a gps(cheapy so it dont show trails or anything like that, but if lost it will show u what way u need to be heading)

Im sorry if i have offended you BUT MY FAMILY COMES BEFORE ANY RIDE THAT I PLANNED! YES! IM OFFENDED BY WHAT YOU SAID AND NO I WONT HOLD A GRUDGE! EVERYONE THAT KNOWS ME KNOWS THAT I DRIVE FURTHER AND MORE THAN ANYONE ON THIS SITE TO RIDE WITH FRIENDS but in our current fuel state i feel that its best to cut back on all the unnecessary driving and fuel related events! SO IF YOU FEEL THAT I DIDNT KEEP MY WORD DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES THEN SO BE IT!!

To yall that know me, im sorry im not going to be there! I hope yall understand!

backinsaddle · August 31, 2005, 07:34:36 PM

I'll be there. I know a few of the trails, but not many. and I will have my gps for whatever that's worth
