Title: Croom Post by: AmericanRobster on July 28, 2006, 11:53:25 PM My girl and I will be all packed up and ready to roll out to Croom in the morning. I was wondering if I would need my FL registration sticker to be able to ride there, or I just pay the $50 for the Croom sticker.
Thanks Title: Re: Croom Post by: UncleRico on July 28, 2006, 11:58:00 PM They ask for the title, but if you don't have it, they won't turn you away.

Title: Re: Croom Post by: mikeE36 on July 29, 2006, 01:20:53 AM Oh and by the way, I noticed you said ur girl friend is going, just remeber dont let them catch you double riding. If you double (it is against the rules) go on to a trail where they wont yell at you.

Title: Re: Croom Post by: AmericanRobster on July 30, 2006, 02:09:20 AM We had an awesome time at Croom yesterday, Its now 2 in the morning Sunday. But other than that the trails kicked ass we had some mud and then I burried my atv and then it stalled out for the day and now I gotta get it fixed along with a new battery. Thank god for warrantys.

She didn't loose a cell phone did she? I found one on the trail, called "dad" and he said it was his daughters phone and he would get back with me. Haven't heard anything. I should've turned it in to the rangers at the gate, but I forgot... Title: Re: Croom Post by: AmericanRobster on July 30, 2006, 07:00:04 PM Thanks Paul H hope you had a good time. It wasn't her phone. What kind of atv where you riding?
Title: Re: Croom Post by: PaulH on July 30, 2006, 08:15:34 PM A red Honda Recon.
Did you get lost? I still get turned around. I plan to buy a GPS so I can find my way around better. Title: Re: Croom Post by: Fox17 on July 30, 2006, 08:40:12 PM is croom a good place for sport bikes? is there any jumps or anything?
Title: Re: Croom Post by: AmericanRobster on July 30, 2006, 09:58:12 PM GPS is a great investment. I just bought one just for Croom and I didn't get that lost there due to my ATV having a little bit of trouble. Yes I saw plenty of bikes there plenty of whoops for everyone.
Title: Re: Croom Post by: kenz on July 31, 2006, 04:14:24 PM Croom is a great place to ride sport bikes. I don't know how wet the big sand pit is right now but there are always berms to jump off of or pits to launch yourself out of in there. Just be careful riding fast through the trails, you never know is somebody is going to be coming at you from an intersecting trail.

What GPS unit did you get and how did it work out there? I'm thinking of buying one this week. What happened to the Artic Cat? Title: Re: Croom Post by: AmericanRobster on July 31, 2006, 09:35:41 PM I bought the Garmin GPS MAP 76 its great. As far as the ATV goes, I first had a dead battery and was able to pull start it, then I got the ATV a little but muddy ( which I thought that it was meant to get that way) I had engine trouble and lost all power to everything. I have to push it everywhere.
Title: Re: Croom Post by: Fox17 on July 31, 2006, 10:11:44 PM man that sucks especially with a atv that big! i think ur electrical got a bit wet for that to happen.

Don't go with the Garmin...that thing goes through batteries like a fat kid through cupcakes. Definitely check an online comparison by Consumer Reports or the like. Battery life is key when your lost in the middle of Ocala National. Trust me I speak from experience. Title: Re: Croom Post by: PaulH on August 01, 2006, 08:07:51 AM I bought the Garmin GPS MAP 76 its great. I was looking at something like the Garmin etrex Legend... the blue one or the Magellan explorist 210. I can't decide which one I should get. I know Garmin has a great reputation, but I would need to buy a $30 USB adapter for it and it only has 8mb of total memory. the Magellan has a USB cable and has 10mb of maps loaded with 22mb of additional memory. I am completely confused. ??? UPDATE..... I got too itchy and bought the Magellan Explorist 210 at lunch. Looks pretty cool so far. |
