Hi:

I just moved to Keller in the Dallas Fort Worth area from Canada. I brought my Honda Rubiconn with me. Where can I ride? What is the riding like? Any and all advise welcome.

Thanks

 

on the main page of this website there is a "Trails" link you can click on under "Resources".

 

Rocky Ridge in Decator, thats where the Craycraft goes sometime and test & tunes. Welcome to Texas!!

 

You like mud? Not much exposed rock unless you go to the hill country. East texas with woods and mud.

Sadly Texas is something like 95% privately owned. Not a lot of free land like in Canada.

 

Best place to ride would be Muenster Tx. Theres alot of every kind of ridding there. $8 dollors a day to ride. They have some pretty good camp grounds also. They don't have a very good web site yet http://www.redrivermotorcycletrails.com/

If you go to Muenster try to be trail friendly and wear a helmet. It's amazing how many rednecks you'll see out there with no helmet, a cooler strapped on the back, a beer in one hand, and riding full throttle down narrow trails and around blind corners. Then when they run over or nearly run over someone they are mad at the other guy for getting in their way. All of the drunken quad guys have mad it a dangerous place to ride, especially for the motorcyclists.
You'll see alot of small kids riding full blast with no helmet through trail crossing and never even look once.
There are a lot of trail crossings and everything is multi-directional.
There may still be some arrows up from the recent enduro but the landowner generally has the club remove them as soon as the event is over. You will meet other riders coming at you on any trail.
I usually won't even bother to go there on the weekend, it's just too dangerous.

 

Yea I've seen alot of people out there that weren't wearing helmets. But if they crack there heads open thats there own fault. We've never really had any problems with to many people on the trails. Every once in awhile you'll run into a pack of motorcyles or atv's comming at us we just stop and let them go by and we go on our way. I think the only problem up there is that to many people are staying in that one consitrated area by the camp grounds. But even then it's not that crowded. Once summer comes it might be a whole differnet story. We usually go to the NW trails along the Red river and there aren't that many people back there. As far as drunk rednecks you can find them anywhere!
Best time to go up there is during the week but you just got to call in advance to get the combination.

 

I agree accept that sometimes the landowner can get sued over someone's ignorance.
Fly P ranch is a perfect example. About 20 yrs ago some nut hurt himself and even though he had signed a waiver releasing the owner of any responsibility he ended up winning his suit and the owner lost 1/2 of his land in the process. The best 1/2 I might add. Also dirt riding is coming under enough fire from the environmentalist whackos we don't want to give them injury and death statistics to throw onto the pile.
A couple of months ago a woman had to be airlifted out of there (Muenster)because her quad flipped over on top of her while trying to climb a hill. From what I understand the handlebars caught her in the side of the head mashing in the side and left her eyeball hanging from the socket. Luckily she and her husband was smart enough to have the 2 kids that were riding with her get off while she attempted the climb.
I bet someone got a real cheap quad out of that.
