I live in Fort Wayne, Indiana...originally from Marion, Ohio. I am trying to make it to Silver Lake, the Badlands, Wayne National Forest, Maumee State Park (in Toledo) and Hatfield-McCoy this year...

If any of those interest you...PM me and I can keep in touch with you.

i was riding my z to work, along this path i go , i ran into this cat, we talked and he said this weekend taht they were going to maumee state park, they asked me if i wanted to go , of course the only problem is i have to get my z registered, but yes i hear maumee state park is pretty slick , ,,, from what i hear, we'll see,my e-mail is nskerschner@hotmail.com, hit me up, im gonna try to get this thing taken care of tomorrow , that is ,, registering the z

Maumee Forrest is pretty cool. Just dont go after a big rain, gets pretty muddy. Ive been looking for places to ride around toledo but all I know about is the Forrest. You know any others?

well some people told me of a couple spots, so before i recomend them to anyone, id rather check them out first, id hate to mislead someone,

Im willing to try any place. Gettin sick of the same old same old ya know? Let me know if anything turns out good. I have a ton of buddys I ride with who know of a few places, I just havent gone with them yet. One of the places is out by the airport and one off of Dean road in Michigan. Let me know if you find any good spots and maybe we could hook up and ride!

here is my number, give me a call, i know a couple people too, hopefully we can get together this weekend, sunday or mon.419-754-4485

my name is nick by the way, if you ask for nickk099, my old lady would think you some double "O'' agent, hahaha

Either one of you guys know that place that's up off of the Turnpike just before you get to the Airport exit, when going East? It'd be just after the exit on the south side of the road if you're going west...

I'm sure it's private, but there's a sand pit and looks like wooded trails too. If you bring it up on Google Maps, there's a pretty good shot of it. Just find the Airport exit off the Turnpike, and look just to the left of it...can't miss it. There's a big pond/small lake just to the south too, between the trails and State Route 2.

I'd be interested in riding there...if anyone has any connections.

Hack, My buddys have rode there and say its pretty awesome. However I dont know how you get there or where to park. Havent been able to call you Nick my work schedule is crazy now. Im gonna research the area and see where my buddys park and I will pass along the info!

sounds good, i did go on some trails with some people i met, theyre not to bad ,,plus right by my work is a big feild with a track laid out , but no jumps, then right down the road from my work, not even a half mile, there are some pretty fun trails, these are the ones i was waiting to see how they were before i recomended them, personally i think they are pretty fun as long as you have a few people with you, its never really all that fun when your riding alone anyway,, lets set something up for this coming up weekend, ,,,,,you dont have to ride all day , maybe 2 or 3 hours just to see what you think,,,get back with me!

hey patron, dont have a license so for me to come out there would be impossible, but im always down to ride, and i found a couple spots where we can let these Z's of ours stretch their legs, my number is 419-754-4485 give me a call, i still have to get my z registered before i can go to maumee state forest, im working on it though,,,,,the one place by the airprt you mentioned, ill check into it , as of now dont know much about it , i know there is a race track by where you talking about but one time i asked a guy if i could drive my r/c truck there and he said no , ,,, so if its that mx track your talking about chances ar slim , but if your talking about just some trails, ill drive out there and check it out,,,,,,id like to get a group by this weekend to ride so give me a call , if im not home leave a message,,,,

Ehhh, not sure if I'll be able to ride this weekend. I went this past weekend down to Wayne National Forest and the girlfriend decided to roll her 4-wheeler back on top of her when she was climbing a hill...she's alright, just a little sore. But, I've got some work to do now. I have to replace the bars and get a new fender bracket. It's rideable if I replace the bars...the one fender bracket isn't bad and the other didn't bend at all thankfully.

I'll make it up that way sometime. I too want to ride Maumee...

well glad to hear your gal is ok , i make sure i get on that registration this week, ,for sure,ive never been to maumee, but i heard it was a really good ride,i should have my new tires this thurs or friday, the tires im running now look like mickey thompson slick, no exageration, they're really bad,they make nice drifting tires on pavement though, hahaha, ill get with you and let you know when i get my registration, you also might have to get an orv sticker, i hear they check , so , avoid a $110 fine.

I was at the Maumee forest saturday, and the DNR guy (the Terminator) was there checkin stickers. And he was a real stickler hence the Terminator reference. My sticker was 8 bucks at the DMV. Well worth 3 years of riding at the Forest. Nick sorry I wont be able to ride this weekend (w00terin work). But the following weekend 5-7th June about 15 of us are heading to Haspin acres in Indiana. From what I understand its pretty sweet. If ya got some buddys and could trailer over to meet us your more than welcome to go! Were camping there and it is dirt cheap! Google Haspin acres and check it out! Anybody else is welcome to caravan with us just let me know and I can set up a meeting point! Later!

Hey Nick I live in Sidney not to far down from you... I am heading to www.briarcliffmx.com tomorrow 5/30/09 I have a black ranger and a 03 yellow 400 if you can make it....If not we can meet somewhere to ride sometime all my friends sold there quads lol

Chad

Yeah...I have my stuff registered in Indiana, and from what I've read thus far, Ohio "grandfathers" in other states registrations.

At least, that's the only legal way I could ride in Ohio for the time being. I didn't have a problem down at Wayne National Forest last weekend, though I didn't get checked at all.

i ride day or night, and i ride anywhere and everywhere, my number is 419-754-4485,,id appreciate a call ,,, i have a couple of people i know that have bikes, but none of them ride,,,,call me ,,,it's 10:30am/ 5-30-09 right now,,,i hope im not to late getting you my number to go riding today

hey chad ,i got your message,,,,i couldnt call you cause i dont have long distance,,,,,but anyway ,,,its hard for me to go riding outside my area cause i dont have my license,,unless people around here that i ride with go somewhere ,,im pretty much bound to only the riding spots around here,,,but soon enough im sure ill get somthing together and will be able to make it,,,that place you went riding,,i checked out that web link and man ,,,that place looks kick ass for sure!

I used to live in fort wayne 5yrs ago...northwest of the city ,off of wallen rd..great, clean little city and still growing.

Yeah man...it's not too shabby. I actually live right off of Lima Rd. down Ludwig (in a subdivision). It's so nice because I feel like I don't live in town...when in reality Meijer, Lowes, Home Depot, and Sam's Club are all just a mile down the road!

ok, I got ya. you live by the little airport...I lived in hampton village off of wallen rd...I still go to fort wayne to visit my family and friends. small world

Haha, small world it is! What was your reason for moving to Salem...I'm guessing job transfer?

I actually live down Ludwig the other way, opposite of Smith Field airport...but I know exactly where it's at. I was actually thinking of buying a house right across from it until I found out that the slab had a huge crack in it!

Yeah your correct. A had to transfer to another GM plant do to my exwife losing her job at Lincoln financial. Lincoln moved their headquarters from Fort Wayne to Philadelphia. She ended up near a branch faciliity near Pittsburgh. But anyway, had the opp. to come back last July but it was too late. I got re-married with two step kids and my wifes family is from around here. Oh well...I will get back to FW one of these days.

anybody up for some local riding this weekend

Is there some good trails by your house? I live right by Akron and would be willing to drive 2 1/2 hrs. with some friends ( no A@#holes) if the trails are worth driving for. Let me know what days you are available to ride. I am pretty much booked on weekends for the month of june due to graduation partys.

Hey man...do you ever go to Wayne National Forest? I'll probably make it down there either sometime later this month or I'm thinking about going either the Friday before July 4th, or July 4th...I don't think the trails will be too packed down there since it's in the sticks.

Shoot me a PM and we can chat...Wayne would be worth the drive and the money for the pass!!! I'm actually thinking about doing some sort of camping trip down there for a weekend...just not sure when...nor when I'll have my trailer ready.

My father inlaw keeps tellin me to try Wayne. Isnt that by Columbus or something ? I will pm you in the next couple of days and let you know whats up?

Yep...Wayne is actually about an hour southeast of Columbus, right close to 33. I just Googled from Salem to Wayne and it says about 3 and a half hours or so...that'd be to Nelsonville where you could buy your passes at and where most of the trail heads are within 3, 4, & 5 miles.
