ATV Florida Forum

Who all on this site rides sports, what do you ride, where are you located and where do you frequent? I like riding with anybody and any type of bike, but it would be cool to get a good sized group of sports together. I'll start...

2008 Outlaw 450 MXR, ride 5A a lot because it's local, but ride a few other local spots, and wanting to go back to croom and ONF soon. Also wanting to check out Osceola, DFA when they get back open 100%, etc. I'm in Central FL, Daytona area.

I run both sports and untilies.   Me and the wife have DS650 Baha's and one Outlander Max 800.  Mostly ride Croom and Ocala.  From time to time Durhamtown. 

Cool, those DS650s are neat machines. I am going to be getting my girlfriend her own bike again soon. We want to get back into doing riding trips. I love Durhamtown!

suzuki ltz 400 (440) live in Miami,fl, ride woods & mx,  Croom my favorite!!!    was suppose to go friday am 4am but buddies let me down (again) I personally will take the 600mile round trip solo but DONT wanna get to Croom and ride solo ( riding is just like scuba, always gotta be with someone). its about 4.5 hrs of a drive one-way but well worth every mile I drive.

Cool, I would down for meeting anyone. My schedule with commercial jobs gets pretty crazy, but I can usually make time for a meet.

I know there's more sport riders on here!

banshee...lakota....ksf50 for the litle guy

croom/onf/northport

Zman maybe when it cools down  Oct-Nov you can come camp out at Croom and mybe we can get a few others for a night or two.

im ready!!!   cant wait for the weather to cool down!!!! ;)

As of right now I have a 300ex. LOL! I believe my uncle is buying it(pending). Within the next couple of weeks I'm planning on getting a Honda 700xx whether my 300ex sells or not. I haven't been riding in about a year. I would like to get up with some others and ride. I've ridden out at Flagler Estates, ONF(1 time), Olustee as far as local. I've traveled other places to ride but Durhamtown is my favorite. It's family friendly and some what close.

Yeah Durhamtown is amazing! I was like a little kid on Christmas morning there.

Have you thought about an Outlaw 525IRS? The Honda is a good bike, and sounds like you might be Honda-loyal, which is cool! The 525IRS is a little lighter and quite a bit faster. If you're looking used, either bike can be found reasonably priced. I love my KTM powerplant! Just figured I'd throw it out there since a lot of people overlook that bike. I just broke my hand this weekend, but I'm down for riding after I'm healed up! haha

Nothing against the polaris(I have been reading a little since reading your post) but I'm going to stick with the Honda. Only thing I've read bad about it is it's a little slow and not a lot of aftermarket parts for it.  But they are reliable and I've havent heard anything different.


I might be up for some riding next week as I'll be off all week. I have a 700 spotted out and hopefully it works out I will have it this coming up weekend. Although when I'm off there seems to always be work to do still.

I agree if you've had goodluck with Honda stick with them :ThumbsUp.g
It will def  be a nice upgrade from the 300!

I got the 700xx Thursday. Big improvement over the 300ex. Me likey!

Congrats! I haven't been riding lately since I broke my hand but I don't think that'll keep me off the bike for much longer.

I got a 2007 honda trx450er.. best bike Ive ever rode. Im from Miami fl.  I have been riding in florida city, 8st &137ave, k krome ave, ocala, la belle, 41st. But it seems everything is getting closed.. im interested in meeting riders that want to anywhere...  I also have a banshee, 1992 suzuki lt250r. Project bikes: 2004 yfz drag bike strickly for drag to long for trails. And a 660 rapter frame with r6 engine...

Run an Outlaw 525s.  I didn't go IRS cause I also own utility quads and wanted something to play on. I have been going to Canaveral Groves allot cause its close.  I also like to go to Mud Muckers which is north of Daytona.  I do 5A a few times a year but with all the rain right now it sits in the trailer while the utilities come out where ever I go.   

Before my trx450 I owned a 2001 honda 400 sporttrax so I became a fan.  Riding buddies used dislike polaris.  I do like ktm however.. anyway im in for a ride whenever

You should check out PolarisProRiders.com a lot of great info on the Outlaws. That's where I got most of the ideas for mine.

I'm down to ride whenever too, I've owned pretty much every 450 so I'm no brand sleeper, I like them all.

Where is this place by the cape? I'm in New Smyrna.

Sooooo. Is anyone riding this coming up weekend in the northern half of Florida/southern Georgia? From reading on here sounds like everything is under water.

I ride a trx310R and my daughter rides a 250ex sporttrax, used to ride ONF quite often and fl motoplex, but have stayed local for the past few years riding possum creek and sandhill sand pits in waycross ga, Hey dorsey have you been up to the pits in waycross? its about an hour from jville. Next year me and my daughter will be in FL alot as she joined FTR but we have to wait till her birthday before she can compete so shes been practicing like crazy,may goto the motoplex in a few weekends.

I've been interested in Sandhill for a while and haven't seen any updates, is it still fun out there?

I've read about it in the past but have never been brave enough to go up that way because I didn't want to get up there and not be able to find it

Let's do a group ride there, Syko could lead?

I'm cool with that! When? I'm not off every weekend though.

400ex here with a lot of goodies and a few more to come. Im out of the Clearwater/Dunedin area. I have always been ridding at croom or years ago Ocala NF. Anyone ever want to meet a croom let me know.

Welcome! As soon as my hand is a little better I'm definitely wanting to go to both Croom and Ocala NF.

Also, Dorsey, I would like to go to "Sandbox" sometime soon. Does anyone else like riding when it's colder out? I LOVE riding in the cold myself. Sport riding warms me up quick, and I usually have downtime with work.

If you asking about Canaveral groves as the place by the cape its really easy to get to.  You get off on the Port St John Exit which is 208 off of I-95.  Go west off the exit and the road makes a right only at the stop sign which is Golf View Ave.  Go down about 1/4 mile or less and you will see a stream on your left with a dirt road next to it.  Pull onto the dirt road go down about a 1000 feet and on your left you will see an area to park.  I'm planning on going this Saturday or Next Sunday if Saturday doesn't pan out.     

Cool, how big of a place is it? Its about 45 mins from me, not bad

Its not as big as 5A but def big enough.  Plus I rarely ever see a hunter out at Canaveral Groves.  Offers the same things as 5A just don't have to drive as far to get to the areas that are wide open to ride. Has very similar trails like 5A besides the Ridge line.  If its real wet out there which last time we went it was, its tough on a sport quad.  Had to actually park the sport quad last time due to the deep water areas.  When its drier which it should be due to the lack of torrential rain its fun on a sport quad or a dirt bike.   

Yes! Let me know when. I drive a truck so I'm out of town a lot but when I'm at home I'm usually there for a week or two. I was just home for 3 weeks so I have some work to do.

Sounds like me. I travel all over the east coast doing commercial retail construction, mostly finish carpentry. So I'll be gone for 2-3 weeks sometimes and home in between jobs as well. Right now is our busiest time and slows just before the holidays in December. Hand is getting better, so a group ride shouldn't be far off!

I'll be home until after turkey day. So I'll be up for some group trail riding. Anyone interested?

Looks like I won't be free until almost Christmas! Hopefully have a few weeks to get a few good rides/trips in late December - early January.

I'll be up for some more riding at that time also as I'll be home for a couple of weeks then too.

Sounds good! I have friends who live in Jax who ride Utes and been wanting to check out Osceola. Also wanting to try some new good spots for sport riding.
