2005 hatfeild ride!

[bradley300]

figure i can start this early so everyone can plan ahead and we can make this the biggest ride ever. i'll plan the summer trip since that is most likely the one i can attend. with that said, july and august are free of gncc's, anyone know the gnc schedules? start spittin out dates and lets see what we can come up with

[redrunner]

All right this time.... uhh maybe I shouldn't ride until I go. That way I can stay in one piece!!!:eek2:

[Taco]

Too far of a drive for me:grr:

I'd be interested if you planned it then

[bradley300]

your right motoman, hatfield rides seem to be fading away, but there a blast, so i will plan a summer trip for as long as i can. as you know, its probably the best time you'll have all summer

if there are no objections, i'll plan on the 4th of july weekend. i'll set this date in stone in say, 1 month. plenty of time for people to suggest other dates or bring up concerns such as dirt days (wich i havent looked into yet)

and motoman, in the movie Elf, will ferell calls his self a cotton headed ninny muggins. thought it sounded funny,lol

Yes, the two I have been on have been good times!!! Always lookin forward to riding and seeing everyone!!! Let me know if ya need any help settin this one up.

[Rico]

Fading away my ***.

There will always be alteast 1 ride per year.

July 4th weekend sucks. I bet every jackleg with a quad will be there. How about the weekend after the 4th???

I might make a trip there next month.....:uhoh:

I agree, I don't like the idea of it being the 4th. For most of us, I don't think its the time off work, its more just the timing of the trip.

[Cdaleracer]

4th of july weekend is GNC Daniel Boone.

[bradley300]

alrighty, july 7-10 sound better for everyone? thanks for the info about the daniel boone race, i want to go watch

[Cdaleracer]

no problem Bradley300, just want to help in way possible. As of now, I plan on racing there that weekend. But that is 7 months away, and I just might chicken out when the date gets closer.

[k2-dawg]

4th of July would suk! Rico is right, every mofo and there brother will be there riding. 7-10 would be much better.

Rico - when next month gonna ride the H/M? Me and Dewey might tag along if thats alright.

[Motoman440]

If anyone cares there is a local harescamble on Saturday, July 9th right next door to the Waterways trailhead!!! It's one in the Paul Koontz series. If the ride is that weekend hopefully some of you guys will want to run it. Lot of fun and smaller turnouts than GNCC races.

Rico, you comin over in Feb??? Usually colder than blue balls in Feb but understand as well. Tryin to get a few rides in before family extension kicks in. Bring your insulated coveralls and some ski gloves and you'll be good to go, redneck style!!! LOL!!! Let me know.

i would love to race a gnc mx, but i KNOW i would chicken out or get hurt, so i am content with watching them,lol

[blk05_450r]

I'm new too the boards, and trying to find some places to ride...anyone care to tell me where HM is ???

[Bill Fuller]

Logan West Virginia.'O by the way they are talking about the Hatfield/Mccoy trails.

[TheFontMaster]

Sounds like fun. I wanted to go to the last one, but I didnt have my licence then. My only problem is that H/M is quite the ways away.

[chuckles]

Count me in too guys....i got some plaques from last ride to hand out that my dad made....bradley, RD, and Wyndzer have one waiting.......and i wanna go to on the feb ride if you guys are doing that...

[Chino]

Ill try to be there, Motogurl, you bring the vodka, ill bring the captain, and Jack :devil:


P.S. i tried callin ya the other night, your ol lady said you was out changin diapers and ironing clothes:confused:

[Kilabanshee]

[bradley300]

[chuckles]

i say we go a week after bradley buys 16 new lug nuts...any one else think thats a good idea?

[blk05_450r]

Is this place pretty good ?? And is it a one day thing or are you all going to camp for a day or two ? If so, I'm willing to drive the 6 and 1/2 hours and bring a few people...that is as long as we can party ????? :bandit:

[chuckles]

Yea man these trails are a top ten riding place as far as i am concerned. some of us local guys make one day in and out trips through the year but the one that bradley is planning for this summer will be a couple night stay and longer if you let him know how long you want the site. and yes we can party as long as we are respectful of the other campers...but usually we have a few sites close to the front with no one else around..they sorta know what we are there to do.

[blk05_450r]

Haha, that's about all I do. Sounds good...I can probably bring two or three guys with me. Are there usually alot of people around there camping...I say the more people around the better it is. And do you know how far it might be from Gatlinburg, TN ???

[chuckles]

Yea i think last time we had like 20 more...i cant remember now....and from gatlinburg its like 250 miles and a 5 1/2 hr. trip. here is the map.

[blk05_450r]

Thanks...yea, looks like its about a 6 and 1/2 hour drive for me. I look forward to it though. Class at 8 in the morning, guess it's bed time...i'll give ya a shout later. Thanks again for the map. :D

[Bill Fuller]

I am going to talk to my dad and see if we can go also,sounds like you guys have a blast.:D

No really this and the dunes ride are 2 that I want to do for sure, you gonna make this one?

[UglyMotha™]

hatfield would probably be dull and boring without me :o

plus i been there the past few years so i can't see missing this one MUHAHA



i know i won't be at the dunes in april cause my engine won't be done by then i'll probably wait till fall to hit the dunes up, the dunes weren't to exciting for me i'd rather hit hatfield instead

[blk05_450r]

I guess I get to bring a few Chattanooga Country Folksss and show you Northerners a lil' sump'n sump'n. :devil:

[Bill Fuller]

Woot woot:muscle: :macho

[TheFontMaster]

I just looked at the directions for me. Are these Hatfield rides worth a 10.5 hour drive each way?

Yes.

Doibugu2 drives about that far each year. He comes down from chicago, but he stays for about 6 days, which I recommend for you.

We've had anywere from 50 riders to 12 at these rides. Do a search for hatfield mccoy threads and you'll find some crazy pics and stories. Some of the funnest times I"ve ever had riding ATV's has been at the hatfield trails.

[bradley300]

thats right, i'm gonna jump that dang mountian this time! first time was a failure,lol

[UglyMotha™]

now the only thing you should have to worry bout is hitting a tree :o


you think you only gotta worry bout trees when your on the ground but i can vouch that they get in the way when your in the air too:uhoh:

[blk05_450r]

I'm just going to get so drunk at night that I forget how to ride a fourwheeler for a few hours...then it will probably take an army to pull my out of bed the next morning. :huh

They have been known to drag people out of bed with the exhaust of a quad in the door of your tent at 6:00 a.m. with the engine running!!! LOL!!! :eek:

[wyndzer]

Well, I guess I'll come and ride with you sissies. I need to find that rock with half of my elbow still on it:eek2: :mad:

the whole UGLY family should be there this year.


Ugly are you going to bring mike or brent with ya.:D

[blk05_450r]

Check out this place, a group of us from NJ & PA stayed here last June, real nice folks and the browning fork trail is right up the street.
http://www.browningforktrailhouse.com/Browning Fork Trailhouse (http://www.browningforktrailhouse.com/)
It was a 10hr ride from NJ and well worth it!

[sharkinthepool]

So I take it you are going on this one UGLY! Try to keep me in mind. My nephew and I are going to try and go, but I do not get to keep tabs on things like I used too. I try and keep hitting this site every once in a while to keep up on things but nothing like before. The nephew is watching it too. Maybe we could meet up and follow each other down!

Oh yeah I will get back too you on the light bar! I still want to get that from you!

Thanks fer the offer but we call Logan Camp Ground home when we go to hatfield...;)

[bradley300]

yeah that looks like a great place, but if we are close to one trail head, usually means were that much farther away from the rest.

i am also still wanting to hear dates that people would prefer. preferably july and august. there are no gncc then, the Loretta Lynn gnc is august 12th i think, a koonts race on july 9th anf the 4th of july is crowded, as well as being the daniel boone gnc.

[Chino]

if ya do it around the 9th some of em can stay and ride hatfield or what they want and the rest of us go race, it's close to waterways i belive. I'm not 100% sure if i'm gonna make the trip, but i will definatly be racing the koontz race on the 9th so either way ill be around, imagine if all us showed up @ a race :devil: :macho

[bradley300]

bumpity bump!

[brian-250]

im gonna try my *** off to make this ride.:D

[sharkinthepool]

So what are the dates, or do we know for sure?

And are we racing or just riding???:ermm:

[UglyMotha™]

sounds like we might be mixing it up a little

[bradley300]

the dates have not been set, i am still wanting input from as many people as possible. i will be setting a date in about 2 weeks. if we end up going the weekend after 4th of july, we would ride thurs and friday race sat. and ride/go home sunday

That seems like it would be the best choice. I really wanna go on one of these rides.

[blk05_450r]

So is this race that is on Saturday, is it close to Hatfield or something ?? I have never raced, what kind of classes do you all run ??? :confused:

[Pappy]

ive never been to hatfield on the same quad twice:D

[Motoman440]

Originally posted by blk05_450r

Yeah, it's right next door to the Waterways Trailhead. I went to the location a couple of weeks ago and the best that I can tell, they will have to use part of the Waterways system. Check out the website at www.koontzadventures.com for the classes. It's all fun and a good time. Probably won't be a huge turnout either.

He swithed em around from the original schedule. Oh well, so much for everyone racing. :(

[bradley300]

we can still race motoman, like i said, our schedule is not in stone yet. i would like as much input from people as i can before we set a date

[Rico]

Lets keep the date after the 4th, race or no race. Hell we all pretty much run at race pace anyway while were on the trails, just no plaques for the winner.

Well if your a jackass you'll get a trophy so all in all, someone is gonna walk away that weekend with a trophy....:devil:

Bradley, lets write the date in stone soon. We need to reserve camping spots ASAP. You can't meet everyones date as we know from the past trips.

Me and pops will be there for sure.

[bradley300]

will do, how bout in 1 week we et the date in stone? i still need to see if I can come,lol

[Runnin Dumb]

Bradley, even if you can't make it you already got an award!!! And thanks to you and your lack of lug nuts, I got mine. I'm goin' don't have ta ride a lick, comin' home with wood:devil:

The 3 spots I reserved should hold about 40 riders, tents and vehicles. Trust me. I"ve got it all covered, been doin it for 3 years now.

Bring me a 12 pack of beer though, that's what all newbies have to do. Keystone light please...:devil:

Yeah they don't use soap in WV, they just have the water pressure turned up so high it blasts the dirt off of ya. And yes a direct shot to the jimmies from the shower will dam near blast them off.....:eek2: I wear a cup for protection anymore..:ermm:

Just put RHONDA :devil: in front of ya, she will block the most part of the pressure, then you can clean up with the overspray :macho

[bearman02]

If you ride the rochouse trail at h/m you better watch trails 28 and 94 or they reach out and bite you pretty bad.:mad:

[redrunner]

Ahh I remember ol' 94, ripped up my shoulder and rolled my quad 1/4 mile down the trail. that was the first time I was there. We got to the top and the 4x4 fellas were going down the other way and said they weren't taking that trail down, we did! ouch!

[bearman02]

94 will put a hurting on you.Trail 29 tore me up pretty good last year.About 2/3rds up it there is a big rock sticking out and you gotta go over it because you can`t turn back.:devil:

Our group has gone the past few years and we try and avoid the crowds. There is enough of us usually. The less people on the trails the better, espeically the way some of us ride.:eek2:

who is doing the dvd this year. I have a dvd from one of the past rides because I was unable to make it and the movie was freakin awesome. you guys are a hoot. I'm just wondering if I should keep my mx tires on the bike when I go or switch back over to stocks or something.

[kwatts400]

I wouldn't run mx tires at Hatfield/McCoy. I would get a set of 4 or 6 ply tires to ride with, I made it through a 3 day weekend with no flats/holes on 4 ply front and 6 ply rear razr's.

[mx400]

well they are 4 ply front and rear. they're klaws. maybe i should buck up and buy some rear 6-ply klaws also.

You'll need bigger tires for sure. Ground clearance is a must. If you run MX tires you'll rip your swingarm off within 2 hours of riding... :eek: 6 ply would be a must I say. I've blown out three 6 ply tires in 3 days of riding there just for reference..

[TheFontMaster]

I think this trip is gonna cost me more than I want it to haha. Is there a place there where I could get new tires and they would have the ones I want in stock in case something happens?

[400ex28]

ahhh man, so ill have a tuff time on my klaw mx 4plys?

[Bill Fuller]

You should be alright with the 4 ply.I would try to bring some spares just incase.I didn't realize you were asking about MX Claws.I wouldn't run anything smaller than a 20 inch rear.

I've never been to one before, what is a typical day like?

Where do we stay or do we just camp? Last time a buddy of mine went he rented a trailer at the thunder lodge in Logan.

I have brand new 6 ply Klaws front and rear. I'll bring plugs but i have spare tires too- do you think i'll need them?

Also, my best riding friend wants to come. The only thing is he rides a rubicon. In the pictures from the previous rides i've only seen sport quads. Sometimes i find it hard to keep up with this guy on fast trails, so he won't be a hold up. Will it be ok for him to come?

And how much money does the average hatfield trip cost? Are there any rules that are going to make me not want to come ex. no beer allowed


how many people usually go?

I think it is $35 for a weekend pass plus food/lodging, It is a pretty cheap weekend of riding!

Some of the best riding you will ever see. There are all skill levels of trails. Don't ride the black unless you are an expert.

Bring as many tires as you can, you never know.

Trips are fairly cheap. I spend as much on gas getting there from Chicago as I do on the whole trip. Week long passes are $35, camping is about $10 per night, and then just food.

Usually there is at least 20 or so of us that ride on Saturday. That is usually the most. If your slow, there are usually a couple of other guys that ride slow, and just follow behind the pack.

Everyone is welcome, and beer is allowed.

OK, I live in Florida and am really thinking about doing this trip. I'm an ATV newbie so please answer these questions. I have a stock 400ex. What do I need to do so my machine will survive this trip. I read that I should have 20" 6 ply tires. Does this mean I need bigger rims to go with the tires? If I need the whole setup, who has the best prices on these rims/tires? Are skid plates a must or highly recommended? If I buy bigger tires, should I buy -1 tooth front sprocket or is this not necessary?

Please post up any other tips or pointers so I can get my machine ready. Also, what's the address for the camp ground? Thanks for helping me out. Steve

[kwatts400]

Just get some 6 ply razrs for your stock rims, and a skid plate is a good idea.

21-7-10 for the front/20-11-9 for the rear. No gearing changes are needed.

[Bill Fuller]

Logan West Virginia/Chief Logan State Park.I would suggest you bring extra riding gear if you have it,trails are always wet and if they are not then it WILL rain.Bring the minimum food,you can always go into town(Yes they do have a Wal-Mart).

[redrunner]

First time I went was with an almost stock 300, 22 6ply razrs and a pipe. It was fine, especially going with folks that know their way around.

[redrunner]

Oh yeah the skid plate idea is a good one, lots a rocks.

I think the name of this trip will officially be named the "Liver Challenge Ride" do to all the consumption of adult beverages....:uhoh:

[Doibugu2]

All right, for all you newbie’s that want to come, hopefully here is all the info you will ever need.

Food: There are a couple of fast food places to eat at if you want to survive on that. We generally eat something quick in the morning, (some of us cook, some of us pick up McDonalds in the morning) Lunch, we are usually on the trail so we pack something in the camel back, or leave something in the truck depending on the trails that we go on. Dinner is the same as breakfast. Some of us cook and some of us go out to eat. I think it depends on how hard your rode and how tired you are. Places to eat out our limited, but you won’t starve. Each year we go back more restaurants are opened to give us more choices.

There is a Super Walmart 20 minutes from the camp site. Most of us stop there and pick up the food there. If you want beer, I suggest you bring that from home, because when we bought it down there it was like $16 a case, which is expensive for me.

Camping: We all usually stay on 3 or 4 sites, and just split the cost. They usually just charge everyone individually. Bring a tent or camper. It rains a lot when we are down there so bring lots of dry cloths. Your in the mountains, so it does sometimes get a little chilly too.

There are bathrooms and showers at the camp grounds which are ok. Nothing great but ok for a camp ground.

If you’re not that adventurous, there are other places to stay, but ½ the reason of coming down is staying with the group. Be careful of the hotels/motels, because some of them are worse then the camp ground.

Riding: We usually leave from the camp ground around 9 and ride till about 3 or 5 depending on the weather and how hard we ride. The skill level of the riders varies greatly. I would say there are 4 groups of riders usually. A, B, C, and some of the ute guys. “A” guys flat out haul, B who are damn quick, and C who are more of the newbie’s to riding, which I’m still probably part of. Then there are the couple of ute’s that just follow the group at there own pace. Of course they have gone off the mountain too.

The riding can be as intense as you want it to be. The black trails are very difficult for a sport quad, the blue can be at times, and the green are usually pretty easy. However, everything is cut out the side of a mountain, so it’s very rocky and bumpy.

We usually go out on Saturday as a big group and we all stay together. We usually stop every twenty – forty minutes and get the group back together. Everyone watches out for there buddy.

The first year I was there, I rode an all stock 400. So it can be done, and I didn’t have any problems. My buddy was on an all stock warrior and didn’t have a problem either.

Suggestions: A good skid plate is almost a must. The stocker will be ruined when you come back, almost guaranteed. 20” and 6ply tires are almost a most. Your stockers will be fine, but aftermarket tires are better. You need as much ground clearance as possibly because of the size of some of the rocks. Women/wives are welcome, but almost everyone there is a guy. A lot of alcohol is drank during the trip so you may want to start drinking now to get your tolerance up.

Here are some threads from past rides. I drive from Chicago which is 10 hours and it’s worth it, I’ve gone the past 3 years.

Thanks for the help guys. I am ordering prm skids. I am hoping I can afford the 6 ply tires before the trip, but money is tight. I need money for the strip club too! If I can't get them I will bring plenty of plugs. I called two shops near my house and they want between 20 and 25 per wheel to mount tires. That seems pretty high. Would someone be able to help me mount the tires at the camp ground if I get them? It would save me some dough that could be better spent on beer, etc. I am looking forward to this trip. Hope I don't get too hurt!

Trust me you don't need that much money for the strip club:devil: $3 dollars goes along way:D Tires can be put on at camp providing you get the bead broke on the rims or better yet bring bare rims.Bring plenty of plugs and the 12,16 or 25 gram threaded or none threaded Co2 cartriges.Those inflater thingys are WELL worth the money.I have even seen someone set the bead with about 12 of them(way back in the woods):muscle:

I"m pretty sure Doug from NC has a bead breaker if not I'll bring one and we'll swap your tires out at the campground and save you some cash.

And yeah you won't spend much at the jiggly room I promise...:eek:
