[Dave400ex]

I'm in Columbia City, we go to the Badlands a lot...

[thrasher_ex]

crawfordsville, mostly ride on my own land but go to the badlands about once a month

[TORO1968]

Lafayette - Go to the Badlands and Haspin primarily, but also make frequent trips to Silver Lake, Hatfield-McCoy, etc. Planning on a couple of other trips - several places in Kentucky, Rausch Creek, etc.

Basically, we go everywhere! :D

[250xridamatt]

I right outside of Ft. Wayne. I ride at the motoplex, and sweet 16 motocross. Trails aerent for me.

Dave400ex - you are pretty close to me. I was just in columbia city on friday night, and it took us about 20 - 25 minutes to get there.

[Dave400ex]

Yep Fort Wayne is very close to us, I usually go up to Jefferson Point. What were you doing in the big town of Columbia City, there's not much here?

[01exrider]

im in williamsport, sence i live less than 5 min. away i go to badlands about every weekend!!!

[250xridamatt]

My dad had a business party at this golf course. I dont live in fort wayne. I live about 10 miles northeast of it. If you have ever heard of grabill, Harlan, or woodburn. They are all little towns I live between. Do you run any of the local races?

[raptorman2001]

well all of us go to badlands we should all get together and plan a trip to attica and meet and ride i dont know if you guys know or not there a neat lil campground not far from badlands we could go there and camp and ride all weekend! Just a idea let me know what you think about it!

[bradley300]

i'm from charelstown, as is Braff1 and lil-braff. we dont do much trail riding, but we race xc at haspin alot and the gncc's

[gpd005]

I'm in New Castle (an hour east of Indy) We ride at Haspin quite a bit. And i have about 100 acres behind my house that everyone around here calls the urban. I raced this past weekend at the Delaware county fair on their MX track. They have another one on Saturday. If you have any questions about it let me know!

[TRX250X]

I live in Lafayette, but my quads at home in Huntington on the farm. Lots and lots of room to ride there. 2000 acres total. I also go to Badlands (only one time so far this summer, when my brother broke his leg on his bike). I'm hoping to make it to Haspin sometime this year for the first time, but we'll see. I mostly trail ride around home wherever we can find a place.

[raptorman2001]

so do you guys want to get together and have a big community ride at badlands!i have a few that say there up for it!

[Dave400ex]

I race the local D15 XC events, but not motocross. My friend, on here Ty's400 races the local motocross races, does the Reads tracks, and has been to Bear Field, but said it was really rough and not taken care of well last time he went..

[250xridamatt]

Yea, baerfield is normally kind of rough for the quads. They definately dont know how to water the track either. They did it right before the quads went out for open practice and they made sections of it a mud pit. I prefer the motoplex. A little more expensive, but a lot more professional. The tracks are also a lot nicer.

[Meek]

I live on the east side of Indianapolis. I mainly trail ride in southern Indiana near Madison, Cannon, or Dupont. There are about 4 or 5 different farms that I can ride on.

I race GNCC, and team races at Haspin.

[raptorman2001]

man i didnt realize there was this many ppl from indiana on here we are definetly going to have to get a group ride started why dont some one make a date and we see if it works out for everybody and where its going to be at!

[briantrx]

I live in LaPote, up north by the lake. i usually ride at silver lake in michigan. but recently i have been riding here www.motoland.com excelent place to ride even for quads.
later

[hardkoratvmxr]

is anybody from evansville or surrounding cities and if you are did you race the vandeburgh county 4h race if so let me know cuz i need mroe people to practice with.

[250xridamatt]

The motoplex is having a free ride weekend. Come and ride for free. I should be there on saturday. I will be on a stock red plastic 426ex. Everybody in there area should be there. Their website is here (www.themotoplex.com) Also those two pictures of the outdoor track just show one tiny section of the track. This track is large and long.

[#420]

I live near Evansville, and ride mostly local trails. We went to The Badlands this past weekend for the first time, and had a decent time. I was on my bike instead of my quad though. Next time Im going back with paddle tires and the quad. :D

[PlayHard]

I live in Evansville and mostly trail ride / GNCC Style.

We usually ride Little Egypt / Williams Hill Pass / Turkey Bay and will have the occasional trip north to Redbird or Badlands.

There is a race in Evansville on Sept 10th if anyone is interested.
http://www.blackcoal.org/grand_prix.htm

We are anxious for the Spurgeon area to reopen. When it does, it will be state owned and similar to Redbird. That won't be until 2007 though... :(

#420: Where are the local trails you ride around Evansville? I've yet to find anywhere local to ride. Most of the places I've been are now running people off.

[hardkoratvmxr]

did anyone race the vanderburgh county 4h race

[JohnO]

Call me a wimp but it was too dang HOT for me at Vanderburgh's race. I get grumpy in my old age when I get too hot. I would have liked to raced it though. This Friday there is a race at ALbion's fair and next Friday is one in Carmi's fair.

Since I'm not into hijacking a thread. I live a little north of Evansville and ride the same places as Playhard does.

Will be at the Badlands the day after Thanksgiving for all who can attend. If you want to make that your community ride day.

[#420]

I actually live in Hatfield, near Yankeetown. Most of the trails we ride are woods/backroads. If you are familiar with the Alcoa area, there are alot of trails around that area.

[TORO1968]

It's short notice, but a few of us are headed to Haspin this Saturday (7/30). Feel free to meet up with us if you'd like. :)

We'll be in my red Grand Cherokee pulling a black 7x14 enclosed trailer.

Hope to see you there!!! :D

yea that crash sucked :( , but im happy i got 3rd in the 1st moto lol

[250xridamatt]

I just went to the motoplex today. It was a great experience. The track was well watered, no puddles. The staff was great and I had a great time. I will definately be going back soon. That track was awesome.

[fast_enough]

Well since u guys are from indiana keep a lookout for my 400 som1 stole it early friday morning mods are in sig its an 01 yellow 400ex,if u see one that even looks like mine beat them down thanks

[jesshamner]

Where in Indiana are you from? I'll keep a lookout for it. Sorry to hear that man.

go to my friends golf course lol, it's called valley view, and it's in middle town indiana, the owners name is brad and cheryl, so you don't think im lying, brad lives in illinois, cheryl lives next to golf course

[fast_enough]

southern most part near scottsburg, clarksville, im actually located in Washington county, thanks for any help

[jesshamner]

I know exactly where you're at. Near Salem? I'm from Charlestown. I'll tell my friends (the ones that don't look at the forums) about it. I hope you get it back in good condition.

[fast_enough]

yup salem, i cant believe you know where that is,i got the #'s on it here they are 478TE230614103061

[jesshamner]

Why wouldn't i know where Salem is? I have lived in Charlestown for 23 years. The only reason I'm not living there now is because I'm in college. I've been to salem many times for sports and because my girlfriends brother lives there. We'll be there tonight probably. Her brother lives in the big white house with the columns right on Hwy 56 near the school. You can see it from Hardees.

[gpd005]

DVX i play golf there quite a bit. It's only about 10 miles from house, that's a nice place!

Anybody go to this race? I got 4th in the money class ,was a little dusty but a good time. They had a bike show and a few other events going on as well. Checked out the streetbike stunts and the mini rod pulls but didn't stick around for the Lingerie show they were having.

[jesshamner]

Did you get any pics or have a race report?

[PlayHard]

I raced in the River City Grand Prix in Evansville. I finished 1st in the 351cc+ class. It was a bit dusty. We started after you money guys and I blew a turn in your dust on lap 1.

It was a fun little track. Not technical at all. 6 mile loop and an hour long race. I think everyone did 4 laps.

Too bad they didn't keep times. I would have like to have seen the overall. I know my time (from my wifes camera) was 4 laps / 57 minutes.

I'd recommend anyone in the area to check out this race (Evansville is closer to most of you KY and Louisville guys than you think) There were 4 times the number of Motorcycles as quads (or more). It appeared a good time was had by all.

[PlayHard]

I also have lots of pictures (wife took like 120 pics). I'd be happy to post some later for you guys.

[shaff107]

I live in Greencastle its between Indy and Terre Haute. I race GNCC Open A, I ride at the badlands and go ride in Lebannon with Sloan Jackson or in Martinsville with Josh Ribley. Also rode at cliq20's place in bedford, and i have rode at a really nice place in Washington, In with Bell (gncc400exxx)

pics would be cool, any of this beast??

[PlayHard]

Anyone from Indiana on ATV's should be familiar with these two sites. Good way to keep up to date on things going on and even find out where people are riding together. Not all sport stuff but a mix for all.
