The Trails I goto in Wisconsin close in the spring, until Memorial day weekend. That weekend gets pretty busy on the trails, So I was thinking of going the weekend after Memorial weekend to Wisconsin to trail ride. If that works with other?

You're right, it's a little early to plan yet, but I am really thinking about it. Seeing if the wife can get that Sat. off. It would be fun to have a night ride.

Anyone know why I can't send PM's??????

You have an email address 4wanderingeyes?

Roofer, I can't PM either

True, but I have read that it's not enforced. Take that how you like......I think it's a goofy rule myself.

[Dozer]

What the logic behind no 14" tires? Im assuming you mean 14" rims.

[killerloop1]

And I imagine the 48" rule IS enforced????

Doubt it. 4wanderingeyes will know. Somethingfishy will see what it's like in a couple weeks when he gets back from the ride in WI.

[killerloop1]

I will stay TUNED

[Sandmannd]

They don't have PM's activated on the site roofer. Don't think they are planning on it either.

[reelemin]

PM are disabled. I think it was bogging us down, so Admin chose speed as a priority.

[Dave S]

Who's game for March 8th? Nemadji again? Same thing as last time. We'll monitor the DNR site for trail closures prior to that day and a final post by 8 p.m. the night before.

[Bjjams]

I'm in. LEP you won't have to be the only honda.

[Roofer]

ummmmm, sure.

Doesn't matter where we go. IMO

Any thought on St. Croix? Or is Nemadji seem to work out the best???

[reelemin]

I may be in, if all don't mind a women with a 700 King Quad joining ya.

I was thinking of fishing Mille Lacs that weekend, but the way the bite is going, wheeling sounds a hole lot more fun.

I have chains on all 4 wheels. I assume it would be a good idea to take atleast 2 off if not all 4?

[Roofer]

I don't think it matters who you are or what you drive. All are welcome as far as I'm concerned.

My wife is probably the slowest rider ever and she came with once. I don't think anyone minded.

Come to think of it, most of the rides I have been on included at least one female.

[Scott K]

Me and my wife will be in for the ride on March 8th. As for some of your Wisconsin questions, laws that get enforced everytime are loud exhaust, no Wisconsin trail pass stickers, snorkels, children without helmets, and side by side ohvs. As for the rest of the laws as long as you dont stick out like a sore thumb you should be alright. The 48 inch rule, the 14in rule and the psi rule, I have never seen enforced, I have riden with alot of people with over sized tires on the trail past dnr and they never even turned their head to us.

If you guys want we can make plans for the weekend after Memorial day on Saturday. Their is a couple camp grounds we ride by on atvs if people want to camp afterwards.

Roofer my email is [email protected]

Make the date Saturday March 15th and I can attend. Sunday March 2nd would also be a good day for me. If not I will catch the next ride.

You're more than welcome to join us. titelines had chains on the back of his X2, so that owuld be your choice. If you have aftermarket tires, you might not need the chains. Stock tires I would recommend them on the back tires. Unless of course all of the snow melts by then. I hope not.

I'm doing turkey hunter ed clinics on March 15th, 22nd, and 29th. Not sure what I have going on the weekend of the 1st-2nd. The boss just told me that I have the 8th free.

Now this will be cool. I might try to talk my brother-in-law into coming along as well. He has a 350 Rancher. So we'd maybe have a SRA machine along too

Still have stock tires, hope to change that soon. The one thing that Susuki did poorly was their tire selection. The stock tires are aweful.

So I'd probably be keeping the chains on the back.

[Dave S]

I know what you mean. Honda is the same way. I'd actually consider them inner tubes before tires. I think they go cheap on tires for 2 reasons. 1) to keep the weight down so they can meet the 600 lbs limit and 2) because most people upgrade to after market tires anyhow.

[Roofer]

Any of the weekends will work for me in March.

[titelines]

Just thought I'd chime in.

I had chains on the rear tires, but that was because I plowed our road out the night before and didn't have the energy to take them off afterwards. I got done at about 12:30 and was up at 5:30 the next morning to get to the ride, and I just didn't have the motivation to deflate the tires, inflate them again etc.

It's your choice, but I would've taken mine off given enough time/energy.

[Dozer]

Anybody know what the snorkle laws are in WI? Mn is nothing more than 6" above factory. Mine are 5 3/4"!

I was wondering about that.
