Who are you, new members??

[bandaman]

Hi, new guy here...Name is Mike, but I go by Bandaman on the forums. I moved back to my hometown of Muscatine, IA about 1.5 yrs ago after being gone for 10 years. I lived in UT, PA, and MI and have ridden at some incredible places. I'm seriously disappointed in the riding opportunities in IA and was hoping you guys and gals might be able to help me out. ;D

I ride a 2004 Kawy KFX700 (vforce) that is pretty built. it was originally built by Mickey Dunlap of Fourstroke Tech and was featured in March 2005 Dirtwheels mag (it had orange plastic and green frame) I bought it off a friend who is two-time GNCC Utility unlimited champ Todd Ribblett out of PA. I have pretty much rebuilt everything on the beast, but the heart of it is an 800 cc big bore kit, stage 2 cams and dual 36mm carb setup I built from a 2000 Honda CBR600F4 it hauls my big butt around pretty well.

I love to ride!!!! trails, mud, tracks, etc, but my favorite is the Silver Lake Sand Dunes in MI. I was just there 2 weekends ago.

I have been riding for about 28-29 yrs I think (35 now) and found out about the Club by picking up a newsletter I found somewhere. Thought about joining you guys for a ride sometime so I figured i better see what's going on. ;D

My name is justin. I ride an 06 400ex. I raced the frozen toe at tri citi last year and took 2nd in the 400 class. and the year before at pope creek I took first in the beginner class and fourth overall. I've only been riding since nov 06, so I'm still learning. My friend John Falker used to be in you're club and I went with him to a meeting once, but I have been on second shift untill now, so I plan on becoming a member at the next meeting. I also raced at the 07 cordova ride. I was the one with the wheelie bar.

What Up!? I am Ric, ride an 07 TRX400EX, 06 CR250R, 06 TRX250EX and a YZ125 with a 144 kit.

Right now I am in El Paso, but I am moving to Quad Cities in June. I saw all the ride spots posted for IA and IL ... here's my question, there are a lot of OHV parks ... what about free riding, open land areas? and what are the closest, hottest spots to ride near bettendorf, IA?

I ride at Red Sands in El Paso (6 sq m of dunes), ride at Kilbourne hole (Meteor crater in NM) and at Glamis.

Videos of my 14 yr old son on the YZ144 at Red Sands on Youtube ... user ID = ricfalk

Feel free to hit me up anytime....

Hay Guys and Gals. My Name is Jack Hale. I am a local Davenport business owner who bought a Quad (Kawasaki Prairie 360) to Plow snow and had so much fun I had to join your club. Love to ride the fields out by my Shop but when they plant the corn I will be out of a riding place.

I am sorry I have not been able to attend your meetings and I missed the last ride (business first) and I will not be able to attend the next ride (out of town) but I do hope to have many happy miles of riding with this club.

Hope to see you all soon.
Jack

Hi, my name is Jon and I ride a Kawi Brute Force 750, I just recently got into riding again. I had a Suzuki quad sport when I was younger and loved riding it.
I found out about this club by searching on the internet. I have been to a couple of club rides, Ken Hansons farm and the Ice ride.

Hi, Jim from Davenport! I ride an 08' Yamaha Raptor 700. I've been riding forever. I ride down by Credit Island Harbor alot and stumbled upon your Ice Ride a few years ago. Now a buddy of mine from work has joined and he suggested I should too! Haven't been on a ride yet but can't wait. Just received my membership card so it should be soon!
