30th Anniversary Central FJ Rally

[aviationfred]

I would like to see what interest there would be in a Central U.S. FJ Rally. I have contacted the Hub Motorcycle Resort in Dogpatch Arkansas. http://www.hubinfo.com/.

I have tentatively blocked off 10 Hotel rooms for July 17th-19th. As with the WCR, arrival time is Thursday and departure is Sunday.

Rooms are $66.00 a night for a multiple night stay. A tent site is $10.00 a night/$5.00 a night for a 2nd person with access to a shower room.

I rode in the Ozarks this past September and found the ride is an E-Ticket thrill. For those that have ridden in the Rockies or the California mountains, these roads are much more technical and require full attention at all times. Definitely an Adrenalin rush.

Yes!Yes!Yes! Count me in.

This has moved from interest to actually going to happen.

Hopefully we can get some Left and Right coasters to attend. Imagine the stories you can tell about riding in Hill Billy country...

Fred,
Count me in. I live about a hour and a half from the Hub. I can surely have a functional FJ by then.

If you don't, I could trailer both of mine and you could use one.

That's a very generous offer, but hopefully I won't have to take you up on it. (But I will keep it in mind)

nice job Fred!....I hope to be there

Crap, I have other obligations that weekend.  Would you mind changing the dates for me? 

The Hub is only 600 miles from me so if/when there's another I plan on making it.

I rode the Ozarks on my ATVs. At Chadwick Missouri. Also some of the most technical trails I've ever been on. A lot of trials bikes being ridden there. A challenge on a raptor.


Can't wait to ride the roads on my Fj.

Thanks for doing this

John you should cancel your other plans and do this instead.

Giant, so would a utility quad be preferred over the Raptor?  What was the issue?  (not intending to hijack this thread, we can move this topic over to dirt)...

[Dads_FJ]

Thinking if that's an option...

[giantkiller]

Alot of off camber steps, and steep technical climbs. Fourwheel drive you can crawl over things 2wheel drive raptor you have to use a lot of momentum.

Peeps, I voted a maybe, since I will have time off on those dates, but since I'm 2,000 miles away, that's where the maybe comes in. My summers are always full of unplanned excitement, so maybe is the best I can do today.
