Do yourself a favor if you don't already have it...... Put insurance on your quad, even if it's only for the trip to VA..........

no it was the only window open my anti virus system took care of it though and wasn't a big deal. it was strange it had a popup if i wanted to download something and i hit cancel and then Firefox said the site was unsafe and then my antivirus poped up and said it deleted a virus. idk what happened but luckily i don't think it did anything.

Just get comprehensive insurance. It's like $15 a month on my 08' with a $100 deductible and you can add more coverage for all your extras. You can do it all over the phone or the internet too. I hauled my street bike on a trailer about like that only it had taller sides and front on it and it worked fine but it was in January and by the time I got from Kansas to Oregon it was so covered and caked with salt and road grim you couldn't even tell what color it was. It took me days to get everything cleaned up then tons of elbow grease to get rid of all the corrosion on the shiny parts it sucked.

Good Luck, take your time. My advice: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A SPARE FOR THAT TRAILER. If not, get one asap! If it tire lets go, your f**ked otherwise! Change your trans fluid in your car when you finish your trip.

Since you will be out of Communist State #1, can I suggest getting your CCW permit & walk around strapped? :blah:

Good luck, let us know you got there safely! Time is on your side.

Hatfield and McCoy is a good start, tons of trails that range from easy to extreme. I plan on going sometime in march. Maybe get a bunch of guys from this site together there and have a group ride, that would be cool. Oh goodluck and be careful out there man, hazardous towards this way.

Dude hit me up when you get here. I just moved to Sterling, not too far away. We can go hit up some tracks/trails. I looked into all the places to go riding.
