Welcome here Tim, just joined myself and theres a good bunch here!!

I was curious as to what terrain and what everyone’s riding style is on it? We tend to like the old logging and stagecoach roads, that take us to the very tops of the Green mountains of Vermont state. These old roads tend to link up with stagecoach roads from the past, and the networks go all over, and even into neighboring states. The old stagecoach roads take you into old logging towns of the 1800s when the mountains were dotted with the old settlements, we come across old abandoned charcoal kilns where they made and imported charcoal to citys and towns, old cemeteries from as early as 1700s in the middle of nowhere, and we can explore old logging camps. We pack lunch, a 6 pack, and head out for usually a full day, and half the night, bring a small chain saw as we find blowdowns from storms etc,. Other times we ride the dirt roads that take you all over Southern Vermont where alot of towns are now ATV friendly, and allow ATVs to ride any road through town, as long as we are registered and mind speed limits they welcome the business. So we do alot of varied mountainous terrain, and never seem to get bored. And cruise into neighboring towns for lunch and a beer on the dirt roads that run through the mountain bases and connect towns.

Im honored to be the one to hit the 200 mark! I assume I win a new Ruby or maybe a new truck?? LOL! Heres a quick pic of my 01 TRX500FA picked it up for a even 2k, has 1,124 miles went through the entire bike, cleaned greased all system connections, changed all fluids, waiting for new tires to arrive I always put Tire guider Maxx plus on my machines, they have extra deep tread and are quiet on road, get excellent traction, and ride really smooth for deep lugs. And there reasonably priced. Have had great luck with them and they wear good. Will post pics with new tires when they arrive. Thanks again guys for all the welcoming and I will have to add 200 to my screen name! Just got snow last night in southern Vermont but spring is just around corner, time for some fun in the mud!! I forgot to mention I have the front racks off for a couple new coats of black powder coat on them, they had some rusting started.

Thanks guys, gona throw some ride pics up little later! hey Derf, been out there unfortunately did not have my bike with me but awesome place to do some diggin for sure. might be back around Denver this summer !

Thanks guys, gona throw some ride pics up little later!
