Puget Sound/Seattle NW Area Riders Meet HERE!!!
[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] OMG we just got back from Reiter, well a couple of hours ago, and OMG WHAT A BLAST. That is my new favorite spot. I got to meet Julie and BIng and they were great to ride with. The only thing that we both forgot was a camera. It would have been great to have one. We would of taken pictures of Julie pulling Bing out of a deep mud puddle, Bill's chain popping off, and me getting stuck on the rocks. What a day. I didn't have any carnage. The boys would ride up a ways and stop and wait for us girls so we didn't feel like we were holding them back. Did I say I had a great time? I would go up there again anyday. THANKS FOR THE GREAT TIME BING AND JULIE!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

A few posts back someone mentioned Evans Creek. Ive riden there 2-3 times. Its not even ridable until april or may because of snow pack. (this year maybe not with the rain). I personally dont think its someplace that will tear up a machine. It has lots of jeep tracks that do get rutted, but they are mud, not rock. Then there are some great rock faces to climb. berta climbed them last year with a 2 wheel drive Utility quad. A co-worker of mine knows the area very well, his jeep group maintains Evans Creek. So, I, myself would love teo go back up there this summer. And like I said, the carnage some people talk about, I have never seen nor experienced.

It's nothing like Evans (tear your quad up) Creek, I know for a fact your wife would like it, if she likes flat, smooth riding area with no cars allowed on the roads, she'll like South Prairie [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Originally posted by: wingdude I am trying to get my wife to go check out S Prairie this Sunday. The only place we have ridden trails is Evans Creek and she does not much care for it. The Jeeps seem to tear up the trails pretty bad, is S Prairie better or worse than Evans Creek???

Nickli; You do realize that for each additional 3db you go up, the noise level doubles. Like 53db is half as loud as 56 db and 59db is twice as loud as 56db. The 59 db is 4 times as loud as 53db. So 67db is a whole bunch more noisier the 53 db.

Its not too bad but its not quiet enough for me. So, We travelled down to Hinshaws and asked to have one of theirs fired up. Their 2000 Watt is rated at 53 DB idle and 59 DB with a load. Well, Hinshaws was much much quieter than Costcos. And you are gonna pay for that quiet. The thing about the Costco Generator was the price. $289. A very good deal. 1 yr warrenty. But the weight is 100 pounds compared to Honda at 46 pounds. And the Honda 2000 watt is a thousand bucks. Boy do they need to pay for some advertising or what. But, oh well, I dont think I can live with the noise of the Costco one so back it goes and now I gotta save my pennies to buy a nice quiet one.
And the visual of some little kid grabbing Larrys head thinking it was a ball made Berta say...."whats so funny" from the kitchen.
And LARRY, I got the Rappy all fixed up last night. New handlebars, New Throttle housing (FOR THE 3rd TIME).

After gettin all suited up, we went for a quick blast up the power lines, then dove off into the trails. We rode trails for a few miles then made our way to the "wall". Everyone did really well on the tight wooded areas and on the rocks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] No carnage that was major, I did spit my chain off on the way back, that shocked the snot out of me[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] Bing assisted with the reinstall and we were on our way again. Oh, I forgot to mention that Bing found a craftsman 1/2" drive ratchet laying in the mud. We headed back to the trucks so wonder dog could take a pee. We sat and talked for a few minutes, over some waters. Bing presented me with a gift (new craftsman ratchet)[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] We called it a day, both Bing and my backs still felt good, and I had to get the bash brothers from my dad.
It was great to ride with Bing and Julie, Thanks for coming Julie, that made Brenda's day! Thanks for joining us, glad to do it again anytime![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
