New England B.S. Thread

Is there a meet coming up or something? Waiting for approval on the forum...might join.

 

Wow! Point taken.

These aren't street legal and needs to be towed to the trails, right? Not that I'm looking to buy anything soon but just gathering information for the future. How heavy is something like that and can our engines tow them (safely)?

 

For any of you motorcycle enthusiasts out there, MOM South is having another demo day event from Friday thru Sunday (August 16 - 18). It's a good time and you get to ride some nice, expensive bikes for free!

 

They arent technically street legal. There is a formula for wheelbase/lift involved. However people in my club are daily driving far bigger trucks.
Driving it to the trail would be more based on if it can get off the trail under its own power.
You could tow them with the proper trailer and a weight distributing hitch. However it would suck lol.

 

How many TW forum goers? does it take to change a light bulb?

bulb" is perfectly correct

handle the light bulb controversy

4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions
about light bulbs"

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and
start it all over again.

 

lol.

all kidding aside I tried some LED bulbs the other day - they have gotten a lot better, but are still damn expensive.

 

There is a wheel and camp event going on in Maine. I dont know if it is open to others. Usually, you get one run with the club before you have to pay dues. We will be wheeling at all wheels in Maine, you could prob hop in on that. If you signed up on the forum, you wont see a lot of the content.

We could probably tow some of the older pickups and such as long as they dont have too much tube work or heavy things added to them.

I think I am going to go and try out the Victory Cross Country. It has been calling my name for a while. Might trade the SV in for it. Again, more tough decisions.

 

Is it worth paying the dues (i.e. enough events and such to justify it)? Not that $50 is a lot.

 

I think so. $50 to have the option to attend around 2 events per month. You also get a t shirt and sticker once you have attended 2 runs. I think John, Denis, and Rob would prob agree. There are at least 3 runs on the schedule for the rest of the year that are good for our trucks. There is also a members choice run which is chosen by the people who are available to go.

 

I get shit for bringing my Toyota to Jeep runs... Then promptly kick their asses with my near-stock capabilities and walk away with a shit eating grin

 

I've towed a HEAVY jeep and a heavy muscle car; our V6 can handle it. 4Runnah powahhh!!!!

 

Where did you get your LED's from? I just did the swap on my motorcycle from SuperbrightLEDs.com. They're not bad but I paid $25 for the tail light LED cluster.

If you decide to go, let me know when you head over. I've got some work to get done on the house but will try for either later in the day Saturday or Sunday morning. I want another ride on that Vegas 8-Ball (might try the Hammer also).

 

I like the hammer S. I am to the point in my riding where I want a couch with wheels and a stereo system.

 

LOL

I think so, i've been on 6 different runs at some really nice and challenging properties since i joined and they are a bunch of good guys!
But i never got my free t-shirt or sticker.
But definately still worth it!

 

Your not going?

 

I thought you had one on your back window? Tell Tim you didn't get your free stuff and he will send it or bring it to the next meet.

 

X2 I'm happy with the runs and people . No free stuff for me either .

 

Eric why is the schedule on NTC empty? I believe it had stuff on it a while when I looked.
