The great big off road thread!

[Dunerdr]

I did a quick search and didnt see anything exactly like this.

With the dead time approaching my family and i will be doing a lot of camping and SxS/dirtbiking. I thought it would be cool to have a place to talk about what your riding/driving and places you go.

I wheel a Honda Pioneer 1000 its practical, fits in my dads toy hauler, seats both kids, the wife, and my niece. I've also got a KTM 520 bike, a KLX 110 to play on, and a chinese 70 my 8 year olds been learning on. My dad recently bought a Toyota FJ cruiser that will get some time around Disney Oklahoma at some point.


Share your pictures and stories and thoughts!

Good chance I'm going to purchase my buddy's XR400 this summer. He raced for thirty years.

Man XR 400 prices are nuts right now. My best friend as a kids dad had one and i thought it was the coolest bike ever, so i check on them from time to time. Theres one listed in the tulsa area for 4k.

Ya, pretty sweet bike. He doesnt ride it anymore, so I'm going to jump on it.

I'd love to find a vintage Elsinore.

Took a trail ride so the kids could swim in the creek.

I grew up riding/racing an XR200R... sweet freakin' bike!!!


Now I travel the country riding/instructing/racing my MTBs...




In keeping with this thread, I ride Windrock in Tennessee a lot, that is a 4Wheel heaven out there.

I'm fired up to get out for that first trail ride, but it's been a cold wet spring. It's been raining a lot here and snowing in the foothills and mountains. Bring on some heat!

I’ll trade you right now. 92 earlier and I’ve got a pretty good sunburn. I misjudged my cloud cover.

Well i sold my sons coolster 70 and this forced him to graduate to the klx 110 (143). We took advantage of the awesome weather yesterday and put some miles on it. There were some growing pains, we had to talk about carrying speed over rough terrain instead of slowing down and losing balance. By the end of the day he was pointing the front wheel and shooting.

(edit: he has gloves and wears them, they got wet playing on the boat ramp but he wanted a picture to show his friends before we loaded up.)

This is my fairly new toy I got. Took it up to Brown Mountain up here in North Carolina and had a blast on it. Wife called me a few choice names on the trails but I had fun at least

I always thought those things could really use a little more power. I bet the DMax really brings it to life. Post some mf pictures dont just tease us!

My wife has lost her cool once on the trail in a creek crossing. We went through leaning to her side with my son in the middle of a polaris ranger. Then got a mile or two down the trail and it dead ended and we had to go back. She called me every name under the sun and she and my son walked across up stream. Then after watching me navigate it flawlessly as it leaned to my side she realized it wasnt as bad as it seemed and apologized.
