Ride Report 3/16/06 - Rocky Ridge
I spent the day at our local OHV park Rocky Ridge near Slidell, TX
I didn't have anyone to take pics of me riding but here are some shots of the park. It's got every type of terrain you could ever want from wide open fields to deep woods on steep hills.
Wonder why they call it Rocky Ridge????
This is way steeper than it looks in this picture. Almost straight up at some points but the little KLX just chugs right on up.
There's a dry creek bed at the tree line that's full of fun trails and jumps.
Two years of drought not so good for the lake but good for riding! Lots of deep sand.
The little rock face in this picture is also way steeper than it looks. Almost straight up and a real challenge on the KLX. You have to hit it just right and then gun it when you're standing on the rear wheel at the top because there's another whoop just beyond the top.
This park is 56 miles from my house. I love the fact that the IMS tank lets me ride there, play all day, and then ride home.

WOW, Nice park that you have to ride on, VERY NICE!!! Now that you mention that Large tank again, I am really starving for one. Could you please post some step by step procedures on how to do it, since you have already gone through all the dos and dont's, I just would like to do the dos please lol. I would greatly appreciate it if you could do it, I don't think any other tank is going to be available too soon that will let us take the old tank off and just put a new one on with no modifications.

Great job on the tank install Todd! But you have more gizmo's, gadgets, and doohickeys on your bike than I can count no wonder your worried about crashing. You almost have as much stuff as a Honda Goldwing all your missing is the stereo! HA! HA! Come on man do you really need that GPS or are you planning on entering the Dakar Rally next year! Hey I'm just pokin fun at ya, good pictures hope your having fun. The bike is tougher than you think It's taken about 6 hard diggers one on top of a row of logs, and another 15 or so low speed crashes. Dont be afraid to throw it down(except if you have the stock bars on of coarse
