I hope that is not through Decker Cycles in Ohio.
He cheated us on a bike deal recently, and several other people on KtmTalk as well.

Those 'new' left over bikes are not new.

Ktm often has factory 'seconds', refurbished bikes that blew up on the original purchaser. Ktm gives the customer a new bike and then repairs the old bike, then resells the used bike to the dealers.

I was very polite to him everytime I corresponded with him or when I spoke to him on the telephone. He flat out lied in his ad, tried excusing his lies by saying 'Everyone has a different definition of excellent condition.'
To which I said "bent triples clamps are not excellent condition in anyone's book."
Then he says 'Well, you didn't pay enough for the bike, what did you expect for $1900?'
I won a bid based on his ad. He is a liar. and scum.

Oh, ask him his excuse for not sending the title. He has his money, what's his excuse?

2 other guys on KtmTalk has similar problems with Todd Decker on eBay auctions. They didn't tell their stories until I posted mine.

Hatfield McCoy trail system

I have heard of it but that`s about all. How about a little more information. :?:Sorry what I was wanting was information about the Hatfield McCoy trail system. Sounds like a very interesting place to ride.

Am I reading that there will be a memorial day EAST coast FORCE ride being organized in Pennsylvania??????

My heart is starting to beat faster and faster!

I am in, if this is for real.

-Parsko

That's about the same distance for me.

Is anyone else out there "IN"???

Jason, interested now that you have a righteous ride?

Cody?

Wildbill?

Should there be an official post for it started? I suppose once some enthusiasm is gained....

Can you hear me now?

heya parsko,

As soon as you get a few people to show interest, go ahead and start an "official" post in the Force Ride category.

I always keep my eyes open, but it's tough for me to get away, especially right now. As it fleshes out, I'll let you know if there's any way I can do it.

thanks,

I have read about the Hatfield McCoy trail system and I think it would be worth checking out. Depending on what happens around here if I knew well ahead of time then I could plan on coming. Keep us posted.

Hi everyone,
I'm eman369's bro-in-law. Sorry, I don't ride a Husaberg, but after seeing eman's and our friends I wouldn't be hard pressed to ever get one !
As far as a 'berg ride in the east, there are 6 of us going to the Hat./McCoy Memorial Day Weekend, two 'bergs included.
I've been to Hat./Mc. 4 times in the last 2 years and I'm getting to know the place pretty decent. Anyone who would like to join us for Memorial Weekend is more than welcome.
If you decide to join us, you should book camping/motel/cabin reservations now, as things book up early ! There is nothing left at our
cabin, but I'm sure the owners will let folks camp.
For those who have never been to Hat./Mc. there are 5 different riding areas in southern WV and each has about 100 miles of trails. Trails are color and # coded and you receive a colored map (or print it online).
Green trails are least difficult ( ma & pa taking pictures of birdies on the utility quads), blue trails are a little more difficult (flat trail with an occasional hill or somewhat challanging special test section),
black trails are most difficult (sometimes flat trail that leads to a very difficult hill/special test section), (for instance we came to a hill out of a little creek, there was 7 of us and we tried it for almost 2 hours, only 3 of us made it up, when we got to the top it made a 180 and there were 2 more hills covered with boulders. We ended up coming back down, finding an alternate easy trail to the top of the mountain and then we came down them !).
Orange trails are single track only (atvs can't fit, YEA !!!) and are more like goat trails ( there was a section that came down the side of a mountain in the woods, the trail was about 1-2 rear tires wide and zig- zagged back and forth, and had 180 turns that I had to get off my bike and swing the back end around, it took us 2 hours to go about 7 miles !).
Each riding area in WV goes by a trail head name and a trail system name, which gets kinda confusing, so I usually refer to each riding are by town.
Water Ways trail head/Little Coal River trail system is by S.Charleston. (no single track the easiest I've rode so far).
Bear Wallow trail head/Dingess Rum trail system by Logan (one of the best).
Rockhouse trail head/Browning Fork Trail system by Gilbert (one of the best, it's where are cabin is, and we ride right from our cabin to the trail, you can ride into town too, Gilbert or Man WV ).
Rev. Compton trail head (I forget the trail name right now) by Williamson (3rd best after Dingess Rum & Browning Fork, you can ride into a little Kentucky town right off the trail).
Pinnicale Creek by Pineville (haven't rode it yet as it was new last Memorial Weekend '04, no single track, but told it was fun).
Like eman (Earl) said, go to www.trailsheaven.com for permits, maps, directions, rules & regs., message board, etc.

Ride in the east: Hatfield McCoy Trail system

Think we could plan a ride for there in July or August? The month and dates are not craved in stone. Later in the year, summer or fall would be great and hopefully there will not be any big crowds and the trail maintenance will be finished. The camping rates are $5 a night. For more information: www.trailsheaven.com Lets pull this off.

AH, Wild Bill ! ,
Your twisting my arm to go riding AGAIN in God's country ?!
Alright, if I have to go there with you, then I guess I don't have any choice ! Let's do it !
Give me a call or an email to start setting it up so I can put in for the time off at work. Also if you want to do the Allegheny National Forest to ride for a weekend we can get you all set up, and I GUESS will have to go there with you too !?

This sounds like a great opportunity for all of us east coasters to get together, but I noticed that the H/M trail site states that you must have a spark arrestor. My FC400 does not come with one. While looking over AtomicPunk's FE400 I also noticed that the exhaust hangs in a different location. Is there an affordable arrestor system for my FC?

Also, just out of curiosity was wondering what the ability of riders would be? I'm a "C" class rider and AtomicPunk is strictly a woods kind of guy. Would we be holding people up?

east coast and shizzle

Hi Bergler,

If I attend, you will no longer hold the title "One who holds all the others up", for I will take the title from you

As we did in Moab, if the skills vary enough, you're better off breaking the groups down into different rides for the day. We finally figured it out on day 3 of Moab, and it was the best fun for me because I wasn't so busy trying to stay alive, and I got to enjoy more of the surroundings

thanks,

spark arrester

Husabergler, check out the promotobillet web site. they have an add on spark arrester that easily attaches to the muffler. WWW.PROMOTOBILLET.COM

I don't know Json..I think I can give you some competition for last place!

Husabergler is in the spray booth painting at the moment, so I'll make sure when I go back to work that I tell him about the end cap. Thanks BendBerg!

It's something he has been wanting anyway as we plan (we always plan - it the follow-thru that gets us!) on doing some NETRA enduro races this year..one is right in our back yard..Anybody else race NETRA?

Maybe I can talk him into this..maybe..tough to haul the bikes when we only have to ride 100 feet or so from the shop to be on the main trails in our area..but it would be nice to sample other riding conditions & put faces with sign in names..

Yo Punk,

I'm in SW CT. I have been interested in getting into a couple organized rides in the NE here. I, too, am not the greatest of riders, but I might be able to keep up with the big guns. I don't have too much of an issue keeping up with the better riders I ride with here.

PM me with some details, if you have any yet.

-Parsko

PS- July/August sounds great to me as well for the Hatfield ride!!!
