Well the 27th  is my little one's B-day party and the 28th  is the super boat race in Clearwater, $$$$$$$$ so I may not be able, plus I have a hunting lease in north Florida which tis the season for hunting so I may be a ghost for a few weeks.  :'(

I could do a Sunday ride. Only day of the week I am off.

You work to much. More than likely it will be Sunday. Unless we do a double header and ride both days. Stay tuned for more info. You are on the list !

Roland your a riot!!!  Am lost for words...   LOL

Kountry I could do a Sunday. Like Roland says maybe both days might just camp out at Croom..

Patches one excuse after another...   ::)

I do work to much at times seems like joys of working for a ford delership.

Cash is King!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :no :no :no

 :'( Wish I could ride but will be out of town working. Start off in Pa. then NJ. then Conn. then SC then Ga & then home for a week.
Gotta do what I gotta do to keep the wolf away from the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Ya'll have fun!

SMP63 it's a shame you can't make it. :(  Maybe next time you and Mr. Excuses(aka Patches206) will be able to ride.  J/K Patches 206.
  I'm hoping we get a new rider or two to show up. We always have a good time !

I'd like to go. I'll have to see what the family has planned that day before I can say for sure.

Great ! We hope you can make it. Tell them it's a mandatory quad safety testing day or something.

Thanx for the invite.  I can ride either day.  Just let me know where to meet.  Thanx

We park in the back near the shelter.. Some of the older rider's need  to be near a bath room....   ;D

Starting to look like a good group ride. may have to break out the mud dance

What day you animals going?

Looks like Sunday seems to be the best for most of us. Can you make it ?

Do you know how to get there ?  The gate opens at 0800.

Was told today have to work the Super Boat Race in Clearwater, can not complain I need the $$$$$$$$$.   You guys have fun Thunder get some video.  We have to plan a camping weekend in the future with a little bit of warning so I can make plans not to work.

I got GPS.  I should be good to get there.  Just let me know which day and what time you guys are meeting and I'll be there.

Looks like it will be Saturday for the wife and i. We try to get there as the gates are opening at 8 AM. WE park in the back by the shelter and restrooms. I drive an old blue ford dually with a white enclosed trailer and the wife and i both ride camo polaris sportsman 4X4

So who is riding at Croom this Saturday?

I have an appointment I've got to keep Sat. morning. I can get there late morning or noonish.  I'm going to be there Sunday when they open the gate.
 Why not ride both days ? 

No me :'(

I'm good for whatever.

Well whats the game plan?

Looks like it will be Sunday for us.. Roland says Sunday.. Kountry can you make it Sunday?

Sunday is good for me

You can ride both days. I'll let you. I just can't get there till late morning on Saturday.
  I'm sure I'm going to need a guide to get in and out of the mines.
  Also the parts I've order are on a slow boat from China.  :(
So lets make it Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! 
 I still have the same silver GMC and a Green Yamaha Grizzly. I'll be at the gate at 0800. then headed to the back near the pavilion.

Ill be at the gate a 0800 also

Have fun, maybe next time. :S

I'll be there at 8.  All I need is cash and a title correct?

Oh yeah, I'll be driving an Blue/silver F150 with a renegade in the back

Title -yes    cash I think they take credit I'm not sure. Make sure you pack some cold drinks and lunch. Also helmet required at Croom. I might go by tomorrow if I have time. I'll let you know about cash or not.   We should have a good time. I think with all the summer rain the mines have changed. Make sure we show the croom mud to avoid it turns to concrete when it dries.  And every time we are there Thunderdually shows me a place I've never seen.
 Patches we will ride in the missing man formation for you. See you next ride.

You don't have to have the title with you. You will however have to show the green decal that you received when you bought your atv if it was bought in Florida.   If you show them a Vin number that is normally all you need.


Just a little extra information..

The application form will need to be completed and submitted with a fee of $38.85.  The fee is broken down to $29.00 for the title, $5, for a decal that will be placed on your OHV (see below for specific information) and a service fee of $4.25.  The application form and fee are submitted to your local county tax collector’s or driver license office.  The State of Florida’s OHV titling brochure will provide any other information you need and can be found at:http://www.hsmv.state.fl.us/html/OHVGuide.pdf

Both ATVs and OHMs will be distributed a title decal which must be affixed to the vehicle.  For ATVs the decal will need to be placed on the left rear quadrant of the vehicle where it can be easily seen.  On OHMs the decal will need to be placed on the left fork leg where it is clearly visible from the left side of the bike.

Your a riot Roland...   I would think by now you would know your way around...  I'm sure the mines have changed but it's a no problem...  LOL there is always a way into the mines... Caution it may involve a cliff or two.

BJ one of these days we will get you to ride with us again...


Trevor should be a good day for you, lots of mud..  I have the winch greased up good......  LOL

So they give a sticker there?  Or they just submit the paperwork for me at croom

Croom doesn't have any thing to do with the title decal. They do issue a sticker but it's just a permit sticker to ride at croom. If you bought your ATV from a dealer they should have sent all the paper work to the state and they would have sent you the decal. To my knowledge Florida doesn't send a paper title unless you ask for it. They keep a electronic title.

If you bought it from a private party and it wasn't already titled in Florida you will have to title it and pay a one time sticker fee AS Mentioned above. If it was already titled in Florida it should have the sticker on it.
They have always asked to see my state sticker and Vin number before they would give me a Croom sticker

Damn.  I bought it in NJ.  I did realize I needed that also.  So, I can just go to the drivers license center and they issue the title sticker or does it take forever in the mail?

You should be able to go to the tax office (drivers license center)  and apply for a title. I'm not sure but i think they will issue the sticker there.  Next thing is to find a tax office that is open on Saturday.

Another option is you can get a day pass to ride for 15.00 dollars

Thanks buddy! :bow.gif

Your from NJ there goes the neighborhood.    What Exit?

oh...  I'll do the day pass for now.  I bought the Can am in NJ when I lived in PA.  Where I rode you I didn't need to register it.  So, I never had to pay the sales tax.  I just read on the website to get the sticker I would have to pay the tax here.  Sucks.  Good then I'm definitely in for Sunday.

Have a blast those guys will take you all over that place. :drive.gif

They do take Visa and MasterCard.  I stopped by this afternoon and got my sticker .  It was a good excuse to get out of the house.

Can't wait see every one in the am

I'm not going to make it. The kids have me busy. Hope you all have fun!

Kids are important . Enjoy your day with them. There will be more rides coming just keep checking in.
  I'm sure we'll be planning more soon.

And the waiting at the gate begins

Great ride today !!!   Never a dull moment it seemed like the day went by to quick.   I'm ready for the next ride. Good job leading today Merle.  It was fun watching the boys play in the mud.
