Maybe I can get a Rincon to tow me through the parade. I can't go that slow with my Kawi, it's hard on it.

I will be in Silver bay checking out the trails next week.

[hill7410]

right!

[SomethingFishy*]

I'm down, it would be nice to help set a world record.... especially on my birthday.

Maybe we can get a sticky posted on this one.

Where did you find this information?

"Maybe I can get a Rincon to tow me through the parade".

I'm still needing a hitch, but I could manage that. Just so you know, I charge by the foot.

See ya this weekend.

LOL, I didn't know if you would catch that.

[Dave S]

Oh yeah. Now that I own one, any talk of a Rincon will catch my eye.

Speaking of this weekend, are you nervous yet?

Yes, mainly because of the unpredictable weather. I am cutting it close on getting things done around the house. I should have almost everything ready after this evening. This getting dark at 7:30 thing really sucks for my after work-work schedule.

[Ely Lake Expert]

This sounds like fun. I will do my best to be there.

[PreddyFast]

Me and the wife will try and make it. Roofer-Lep7mm We will be at our trailer over MEA weekend Oct 18-21st feel like a trip through Nemadji?? I should have my wheeler back together by then. Mybe this time I won't run into anyone.

[Paul]

This information was provided at the fall ATVAM convention and the organizer of the event is Les Schemerhorn the ATVAM director at large and President of the Red RIver Riders ATV and Cycle club. IF you wish more info you can email me at our HSOforum listed in my profile. I can put anyone in touch with Les. There will be a HSOforum up later with the information.

Rhinos welcome?

[Paul]

Yes, and seeing as thatyou are from breck, check out our local club listed in my profile. We meet at Wild Rice 3rd Wensday of each month, except nov, december.

[Roofer]

I have been in contact with Les lately and exchanged emails ( met on another site). I have tried to contact the "Outdoor News" about this. I can't get a response. I thought they were ATV friendly?

Only a few months away guys. Should get registered.

[Paul]

Yes Please pre register. ATVAM and the ATV Parade Crew asked me last night at our meeting to let me know they are looking to get as many people as possible pre registered ahead of time so they can make plans for the amount of people coming. There is a resteraunt in Silver Bay going to be offering a all u can eat buffet dinner for $10 a head, and they are looking for aprox nubmers as well. The Bar is also hosting a dance that evening, with a good classic rock band. I beleive there will be a small cover charge for the band.

so Please PRE REGISTER.

[reelemin]

Reelemin, To answer your question I was told that you will be asked to sign in when you get to Silver Bay so you will get counted by Guiness then you will get everything you need then.

[Augusta]

I will be registering tomorrow...I can't wait...

[dustin85]

Do we have to have ATVAM memberships to participate?

[Roofer]

Not sure, but why not. It's a good time to start.

[Paul]

NO. You do not have to be a member of ATVAM to participate. Though ATVAM would love to have you and at $20/year it is a steal.

why have this in northern mn where noone is going to see it, why not have it in downtown st.paul by the capitol and make a statment?

[Paul]

That would be pretty cool at the capitol, but we the point is to actually ride the ATV. HOw can you expect to have a great trail ride afterwards if you can't legally drive the ATV. For the Record the whole thing has to move a few feet I think. Would be pretty boring driving to ST Paul. Trying to find parking for 2500 ATV's, then not being able to drive them to the capitol without a really huge congressional headache.

But I have to admit, It would get peoples attention.
