ATV Florida Forum

Want to get a ride together at Hard Rock on Sat the 21st.  Anyone up for it.  The good thing about Hard Rock is that you have several tracks that you can ride.  

that  sounds  good  never been there   how far  is it from  wpb  do they have overnite  camping  may have to pich a tent  the night before.

(http://bestsmileys.com/signs7/14.gif)

Go to www.hardrockmx.com and you can get all the info on directions.  They are located just n of Ocala.  
They do have a race that evening.  i sent them a message to find out if we will get to ride the main track that day.  If not we may need to go to another track.  Let you know when I get a reply.

As far as camping you should be able to but they may charge you for 2 gate fees one for Fri and one for Sat.  I'll find out about that also.

i want to go but my collar bone is broken. :(

Hmmmm, I've done some calling around and there are a few guys from Sand Mountain that said they're going, 4-5 guys from the Speed ride this past w/e that say they're going, and who knows how many of those guys are bringing friends. But who knows... There are quite a bit of peeps that say they'll go and don't. One thing for sure though, those guys on that Speed ride this w/e Love to ride so I'm more than sure they'll be there if they say it.

can you bring more than one , a quad and a bike and ride them both, do you have to pay twice if you ride 2 , never been there but it sounds good

you talking bout me??

[smiley=Approve.gif]Fa Sho!!!

Count me in. I'm ready to RIDE...

im jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i will be working on quads , getting them ready for vacation so i cant make it >:( yall have fun and think of me as your air born ;D

I might be thinking about going, have to check my calander, and funds, going with Dreth that week on vacation, will see.

Alright, you talked me in to it.  I'll be there.   ;D

Whats the different tracks they have their and which one will they be using to race on?

Sat night they have a race on the main track.  They use about 3/4 of the track for the night race.  We can ride all tracks during the day. All of the main track untill 4:00.  The Sand MX track, the intermediate track, The GP track.  This one is a blast.  Up and down, 20 ft wide not a lot of jumps. and the HS track.

So come on out and have a good time.

I just got finished talking to Hard Rock.

The gates should be opening at 9:30am on Sat.

jjake--  Asked them about the bike and Quad.  Said that you will be able to ride both.  The fee is per rider.(not per bike)

I'm looking forward to this one.  Ready to meet yall and ride out.  Been 3 weeks since I have road and I am Jonesin.

When everyone gets there turn left into the parking area.  Look for my trailer.  Black work and Play with Turning Wheel RV on the side.  Plan on hittin one of the smaller tracks first for warm up.  Leave out from the pits at 10:15.  Sound good to everyone?

I'll try to make it out there,,,if anything else to say hi.

If I make it I'll be staying in Salt Springs, so it aint that far away.

Id@

Good deal, I'll be their.

Definitely lookin forward to this! We're heading up to meet w/ you in Leesburgh LostCause so don't leave us.

OK, this will be awesome. A bunch of quads at Hard Rock.

We rode there today. We had about 15 or so. Are all you guys/girls really making it out OR if I go again will it be lonely. LOL

Anyways, hope to meet some new peeps to ride with.

Take care all,
Dano

P.S.
I do have a 310 stroked "r" but now I ride a YFZ 4'fitty.
I am too lazy to create new profile, hehe.

I will be there.  For Sure!!!!  

Hey Rob.  Leaving Leesburg at 8:30 sharp.

How far are you from I-75?  It might be easier for us to meet in Wildwood.

310R--  I heard that those guys were flyin today.  Most all the Quads were hittin the Tower...............

Darnit, you had to bring that tower jump up huh? LOL
Obviously I did not hit it but yeah... a bunch of 'em were.

One guy wasn't just hitting it, it was like when a bike does it.
Allllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way with the frontend down. Schweeeeet

I can't wait now to go back next Saturday. Meet up with all of
you.

Work will be just dragging by all week now. The YFZ is all ready
to go... BLAAAAAAUGH  Hehe

Id@

You guys need to hook up w/ ZX12R and BlindKaeta. They're in Debary and Lake Mary. Felix is supposed to get w/ ZX12R and make the trek over.

come to think of it,,,,I might be going up the night before and staying in Salt Springs,,,,so nevermind.

Id@

We (Blindkeata) will be leaving from the Apopka area Saturday AM if anyone needs a ride we should have room on the Trailer!

I'M GOING!

Well if you guys count 19, I'll be the 20th, and I'm talking with a couple of friends that will be a nice group

Hey Felix, at what time are you guys getting to the track ???

Gates will open around 9:30am.  Will be ariving soon after that.  Be ready to ride at 10:15.  We can meet at my rig.  Look for the Black Work and Play with Truning Wheel Rv on the side.

Going to be a blast.

Cool deal, I'll look for you guys, I'll be driving a blue Exporer with a white and red YFZ, can't wait   ;D

Id@

Sounds good to me. I will be there early.
8)

It's down to just 2 days left then, BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH

cya's out there.

Dano

Anyone have directions or an address on how to get to this place... ???

Go to www.Hardrockmx.com they have good the direction on their site

 Hard Rock Cycle Park
6849 NW Gainesville Rd.
Ocala, Fl. 34475

Exit 358 off of 75 (NW77th St.) then go east till you come to NW Gainesville Rd then make a right(south) and go till you come to 6849. Looks like it is just a few miles off of 75

I'll bring my small grill, anyone is also welcome to use it.just bring something to put on it.Where's the BEEF?? See Ya!!

Well, the quad was ready buuuut, I rode at Bartow last
night so now I gotsta go clean it up again. This is gonna
be kewl. Cyaaaaaaaa's out there tomorrow eveyone.

Be koo,
Dano

P.S.
I drive a white Frontier and have a blue YFZ, #39.

My bikes still needs the oil changed from last ride. Getting ready to head to the shop in a bit. She'll be ready b/f the day is out. RIDE IS TOMORROW LADIES

We've got one that's trying to back out. Apparently he doesn't have enough money to come. He's got a ride on a trailor w/ someone else, told him everytime I eat/ he eats, all he needs is the fee to get in $25. Wassup ATVALTZ (Brandon) the self proclaimed "Mr MotoX".

We could all chip in and pay for him?! LOL  Would be like little more than 1.00 a person. Hehe.  NO backing out, nope... not gonna have that.  

Of course I am taking the liberty to volunteer everyone to "chip in", which I have no right to do!!! If it was me I would just go without eating for a couple of days yeah that should be enough!

Take care,
Dan

We will be in a White Ford F250 SD, with a 16' Deckover Alum. trailer on the back, should have 1 orange KFX, one Grey KFX, 1 white 250r and 1 green Polaris 90 on board!

Where is everyone going to park??

Hey Dano, I also went to Bartow last night, this was my first time up to this track, and no to tell that I haven't been in MX tracks that much, I was feeling good specially at the last practice, by that time you guys where gone, but I had a good time, that last jump on the back is nice, I went all the way in the last 4 laps I did, I hope that  practice  help me some for tomorrow's ride. ;D
See you guys there !!!

Dude... Did we ride together??? I thought I was the last to leave(8:40). I did not see anymore quads there. What's your number on your quad. I rode with 2 guys in my last practice was one of them you? I'm a blue yfz (# 39)

Anyway, glad you had a good ride. Maybe we ride together tomorrow.  Now go get the quad all prepped. Hehe

Dano out

I just want to say, everyone have a fun and safe ride tommorow, and I will be thinking of you guys while I am packing up for my trip to North Georgia for a week. I will be on the next group ride on the 18th, cait wait. Anyway have fun and take lots of pics. ;)

Thanx T2Raptor guy, you have a great trip as well.

Thank's T2Raptor, you do the same, and yes Dano, las practice was late, I have a white and red YFZ, with the #29C, at that final practice there where just 3 quads, me, my body with the Black YFZ 56C, and that blue 400 EX.

Have been reading this thread and am wondering. Would an old guy on a basic stock have fun rideing there. Also do you need anything special on your quad to ride. I have never ridden a real track before and have been wanting to give it a try. Do you very fast guys mind if I join you (maybe) and would you not run over me. Want to ride tomorrow and can not make up my mind where. ONF or Hard Rock.

I ride with anybody... I promise not to run you over. Heh

Hard Rock has basically four tracks:

Main track being the most difficult but all jumps can be rolled safely. There are alot of jumps to it though. I tell people it's like riding the Kumba at Busch Gardens eXcept I am the conductor.

The Sand track is just what it sounds like, sand. Has some jumps but usually is not kept up like the Main track.

The Outback track is a great beginner track with just tabletops spaced out and a nice little whoop section. Some singles too. It is hard packed and holds together nice.

The Roller Coaster is a trip to say the least. If you can climb hills without fear you will have a blast for sure! If you can't you probably will find it more than intimidating. The very first hill going in will let you know what you are in for.

C'mon, you will have a good time with us. I swear it.

Dano

hey ROB! i will pay your buddies way in so he can ride with yall! yall have a good and safe ride! get as many pics as possible :o let me know who hits the water tower jump jump ;)

Well guys I think we have scaaared MR ATVALTZ off. I offered to pay his $25. Maybe he just needs to stay on the porch with the ladies....LOL
I will be in an Black 03 Chevy 1500HD w/ a black Raptor #12R. c ya in the am.

I think I figured it out MR ATVALTZ pu..ys must be hurting.

OK thanks for the reply. If I do come down I will be in a white Expedition pulling a black and white Warrior. I will not be there @ 9:30 more like 10:30 or 11:00. If I do comw down I will look for you guys.

   Jim,

My bike is ready! Haven't rode it in 2weeks. She's beggin'
to be abused a bit.

As far as ATVALTZ, this guy has made excuse after excuse. Everytime there has been a solution. ZX12R 2wayed him and told him that he'd pay his gate fee if he got there. I had him a ride and he told ZX12R that he'd hit me up to see if the ride was still available.... That was 6/7 hrs ago and still nothing. Like Wayne said, Guess his pu..y does hurt :-/. Anyway....

Hope someone brings a cam. Mine will be in the shop for at least 2weeks. Found out today that I have the service plan on it so I have to send it back :-[.

See you fellas in the AM! Bright and early!! The "Early Bird" gets to the 1st turn.... 1st ;D.

I wish I could go there tomorow, it's for sure the most fun facility in Florida to ride at!

Ok ladies.......HAHA
Yall ready to ride out?
Got everything ready to go.
Just waiting for the AM to get here and Rob....
Oh it is the AM.  Got to get a little sleep
Cant wait to meet you guys.
As for a stock bike.  It will do just fine.  My bike is stock and I hit most of the jumps there.  Who knows,  I may even try the TOWER!!!!!!!!!
Just want to remind everyone that you ride at your own level.  Yes push yourself a little but ride smart not DEAD!

See ya in a bit, '05 Jeep grand cherokee(white) w/ yellow ltz400 in back.

Felix--
You meeting up with Rob and coming by Leesburg?

I'm doing mapquest right now,I should be ok taking a straight shot out there.I got Rob & Wayne's number so I'll give them a buzz when in the vicinity.  Felix..

[size=12]TIME TO RIDE PEEPS!!![/size]

The roosters are starting to make noise I trhink it is time to RIDE. c you guys shortly.

ride out fellas ;D

As you guys can tell I did not make it down today. I got to thinking last night that I don't have nerf bars and a kill switch yet so might not be a good idea to give a track a try. going to get the switch and bars soon, so maybe next time I can give it a try. hope all you guys had a good and safe day.

  Jim

so the truth comes out! dreth cant make it, were safe! lets all hit the track :P just talked to the nightbreeds and they are on their way too! >:( are yall kidding me? i see that im gonna have to say........................YALL HAVE A GREAT TIME! ;D

YOU CAN COME OUT TO THE HARDROCK RIDE ON THE 18TH OF NEXT MONTH ;D

OK Boys, here we go!

Had a great time today, can't wait for the next time!

That's a nice shot of Cutter. My lil boy just sat in my lap as the pic began to download. He said, "Look at that boy on that 4wheeler". I said "Yeah, his name is Cutter and he's a bit older than you". He said, "I don't like 4wheelers, I like Motorcycles".(Refering to streetbikes) He'll ride on my streetbike but won't ride on my quad :-/?

Give him a little time, you can't push them, they will get there, at their own time, he end up loving it like we all do  ;D

Hey guys had fun riding , I liked the sand track the best, after I stiffened up my front shocks and didnt bottom out it worked ok , I had to put some time on my crf450 , I just did a valve job and piston on it, it seems to be going ok, the only problem about doing work on an engine yourself is you hear every noise in the motor and wonder if its ok, good meeting you guys, and will see you again on another ride, later

Great pics guys  :o Sorry I missed it but I will be there for the next one.

Hollywood man its good to see your feeling better. That was a bad spill. Hope to see you on the next ride. Just take it easy the first couple hundred yards..

mad props to who ever took the pix!!!! perfect exposure and shutter speed ;) the riders looked go too!

Yea I am just about ready to go still a little bit sore but should be good to go in another week. Just keep me on the track where there aren't any trees and I'll be OK. lmao

The pics are all about the camera, Mudrat has the bomb ass d70.

Gotta give credit to the cam man too. You had your fun with it to Mr.D.. I have to say that it takes great action photos.

Yeah it is a great camera, I'm looking into getting one in the next month or two.  I need a rear shock first.

Man you guys had a blast.  Sorry I missed out.  I had to work.  Hard to get out on Saturdays, always the busiest day.  Anyway looking forward to the next ride.  I see why you guys need aftermarket shocks...great air.  Awesome pictures.
