Default Puget Sound/Seattle NW Area Riders Meet HERE!!!

Hi Rod,

I'm a couple days behind reading, so I have about 5 pages to catch up. So sorry if there have been many responses for ya.

Evans Creek is a pretty tough/technical place, expecially for the sporties.
I strongly believe novice riders should not start out going there. But if your buddy has experience riding rough trails and stuff on his bike and Odyessy's, he might be ok. Plus they'll be plenty of you guys along to help him out. I'd let him know the trails can be pretty technical and tough in spots, see what he thinks.

You guys will have a good time and have fun.

What kind of quad is he riding?

There's numerous people that ride with motorcycle helmets, they just flip the visor down and off they go, most street gear gives you as much if not more protection anyway.

FIRST.........HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYBODY.......HAVE A GREAT DAY [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]


Happa funny guy........You'll have fun there.
I know you were just kidding........
But after reading, I'll clarify what I mean by new folks going there.........
Some/most Evans Creek takes a little forethought on picking your routes, you need to know the characteristics of your quad, and how to manipulate it around.
<u>If you know your quad and are good at finessing and manipulating it around, and picking the proper way through tough spots, then Evans creek is just challenging but not that difficult. </u>
Evans Creek is difficult for new people that are not familar with tough trails or how to handle their quads yet.

Just have to think a lot is some areas. Sporties are more of a challenge there in places, but that's what makes it fun. I've followed plenty of sporties through most of it. They just have to pick different lines, and think a little more. You guys will have a good time. BTW, we never did have to winch any of the sporties, but it will be alot wetter when you guys go I'm sure.

Wish I could make it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Ok........

I think I have a new "quadsitter" [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]for the ol Foreman,
but told him I might have another "sitter"[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] already.
So thought I'd throw it out here in case anybody is interested or knows anybody that might be.
Let me know in the next couple days. E-mail me with any Questions.....................
Very Easy ridden and in good condition, never any behavior problems.
She would enjoy a new "quadsitter".
Very good behavior and will treat you well.
