Yeah, I got a shame story, nobody wants to come over and play Thursday (26th) at 4:30. I back to the woods, and it'll be dry. Noone wants to go, thats a damm shame!!!!

??

Actually, my shame story happened just this evening, I rode out alone (mistake numero uno) but not too far.... and I actually crossed a few places where I was like "should I? ehhhh, yeha!" (mistake numero dos), anyway, the return trip it was a little dark...ok alot dark, even with high beams, and I was approaching what I "thought" was a smooth stretch of straight track there (mistake num...) when it was too late to realize it was a deep puddle covered in muck and pollen (and lord knows what else...ewwwww) , I hit it flying too!! All I saw was water, then nothing but brush, thick thick brush, thank god too, cuz the bike was about 4 FEET behind me, and also cuz 2 ft left was a tree and 2 ft right was the Whippany River. Talk about laughing out loud, thankgod I was alone... <<---moron

Thats what makes riding at night so much fun, you never know what is going to just pop out of nowhere, like big puddles and trees.....

Oh I didnt get stuck mind u, I actually pulled out in 2wd (I THOUGHT I was in 4wd).

Jay Z....ooo sorry, heh, cool, I'm outta here at 4:30 Thurs. Rich will let me know today I think...... and others so far are a no-go, OO I gotta call Ger and a few others...... Cya then. I dont know the trails THAT well, they changes almost daily!

Deep, after the Salami Run, I AM "AAA for ATVs".... I pulled one "staller" up to the track, and then another back home..... I am like THE towtruck.... (like I dont love it

)

Too many numero's there Mark

Those 4x4's react a lot different than the sport models on those unexpected puddles or at least I am guessing from your story.

BEEEEE CAREFULLLLLLLL

Anyhow once when I was taking a short ride in the late afternoon and after spending the whole time being carefull since I was alone and not wanting to stupid etc I was returning down a mostly straight though tight trail in 4th gear (around 40mph I guess) when suddenly the lights went out, damn was it dark and luckilly only a second before riding off the trail the lights went back on as quick and unexplainable as they went off.

Just need to be cautious when were alone out there.
