I won't be up this weekend. I used to get every other Friday off and was up all the time. I'm hoping we get it back this summer and then I'll be up more. As of now I want to save my vacation or sickations for nice weather trips. I do have a friend coming to visit from the east coast and who is bringing his bike. We plan to do at least one trip in May so I'll letcha know.
cuzz, keep us posted when you're going up, looking forward to getting together to ride. have you been out riding at all on the new toy?

Could always carpool up since gas prices are going up. I took the DRZ around the hood and up and down the main road near my house but that is it. I got my helmet, goggles, gloves and need to look into some boots and pants/jerseys soon. Can't wait to get up there.

olaf,
what year drz, and what did you do to it, I have a 03 all stock at this point, thinking about doing so upgrades as well, let me know.
2000
I bought it from Snow_Monkey on this forum. It is stock for now and I only plan to do little things. I did buy a rack/bag for the back, plan to change the pegs, rear tire, a skid plate and maybe a few other things. I'm leaving the engine stock.

That won't fly with mama. Get her goin' and I'll be up eventually.
cuzz, If it works out we could carpool up to save some $$$. Won't be long now before it's time to ride the UP. I have been out the last 4-5 weekends riding, hopefully next week i'll have a bunch of stuff I'm doing done and will be able to start getting out a couple nights during the week also.
local, we'll be UP Easter weekend, decided not to go this last weekend. I'll give ya a call before Thursday to get a plan & hook up while we're all UP there.

Well we are pulling out on this weekend! With it beeing cold and snow we won't be able to do all the things we wanted to do so it looks like labor day week is for sure the nx time I know I will be up! Might swing a last min short weekend between. Will keep you all posted on here as well. You all have a good easter weekend with whatever it is your all doing.

Dirt Bike Trails are all ORV Trails?
Hey guys i'am new to the UP and i was wondering if dirt bikes are allowed on all ORV / 4wheeler trails? I would like to find some old dirt bikes for me and my son.

I'm game. I have a pickup and my enclosed snowmobile trailer if needed. Only took the bike out once and just got all the basic gear (helmet, boots, gloves, pants, etc.) that I'll need.
I'm ready whenever it is nice out.

Sounds good to me, proly just need the truck(yours or mine), I leave 1 of my bikes there so I don't have to haul it back & forth. Sounds like you have all the gear you need, except I would suggest getting a camel back, it's nice to just grab the tube and have a drink while riding. I just bought mine at Gander Mountain.
Won't be long until it's nice out, then we'll figure out a weekend to ride.

I wear a Tek Vest on my sled and have been toying with the idea of a core protector and possibly elbow pads. I can see wiping out hurting big time on dirt/rocks and not sure if I'm getting too crazy now.
A camel pack... Hmmmm, that might be a good idea.
Whoever gets better gas mileage... I get roughly 18mpg on 39/51.
I plan to go up in May sometime... just not sure when.
