Just wondering if there are any dates set that guys are planning to meet at Silver Lake this summer, I'm trying to plan vacation ahead and would love to be there with a bunch of other 250R riders?
-
Right now the tentative date was for July 12-13 weekend. I plan on making a 5 day out of it.
-
Thanks Sky, I'm going to try to plan the same dates then; should be fun.
-
I am there multiple times a week, whenever everyone else can, works for me!
-
I'm hoping to make a 4/5day trip out of it too...
-
I really wish I could make this trip

Sweet, I'll come out to check out all the badass R's.

-
This looks to be fun. Wish my build would be complete by then. I dont see it happening though.

Joel, you let me know when and I can most likely make it work. I make my own schedule at work, and can take off mid day if needed!
-
I'm just gona stay at pinned's! The garage floor will work for me lolol
-
Does everybody know where they're staying? Are the campgrounds fairly close together so we can all meet up at night at one spot?
-
Yes the campgrounds are all fairly close, and I know where I am staying I hope. May be coming up early Thursday night now..
-
Im hoping to make it gotta get a damn title girst guy told me anywhere from 100 to 350 bucks to get it done hoping to hsvd it done by th ed n lotta cash going out latley
-
I'm going to try and make it. as far as campgrounds go some Val Du Lakes seems to be the cheapest if I remember and were not to strict on the rules. We stayed there last year, decent place and they have a bar at the top of the hill. I have heard horror stories about others. Pretty much all of them have a curfue but some are stricter than others as far as lights out and no campfires after 10 or 11 pm. I wouldn't stay at the Jellstone though, more of a family oriented place. A buddy's group almost got kicked out because they were sitting around talking (supposedly not drunk or loud) but they wanted them in bed and lights out.
-
I agree with Jon. Campgrounds are not for me...
-
You don't like hangin by a fire having a few beers??
-
That part is fine. I just don't care for tents.
-
What's the process for being able to ride at silver lake? Is there an out of state pass or something of that nature? If it's anything like the north east they love to take your money for any sort of fun activity....is this a sort of thing I'm going to need to get a tittle for
Thanks!
-
Need title and insurance
-
I am not aware of any insurance that we need to have. We are supposed to be able to provide proof of ownership if requested to do so and the only way to do that is to carry a copy of the title with you. But I have never had to do that.
-
Title and all if you get hurt , other than that you will just have to purchase a state park pass which they will sell daily ones and you will need a Michigan Orv sticker to ride as well and a tall flag ( the flags are sold outside the parking lot) so you can park and go get a flag and ride. And you will need a spark arrestor too.
-
Well I'm suppose to parking at silver lake 250rs property a d the other fellas going with me will me staying at the hotel next to marcs, the sands resort.
-
[MENTION=167]Morse250r[/MENTION], johann did you need to provide proof of title when you were in your wreck? This is new news to me. As far as everyday riding goes, no title or insurance needed. Marc [MENTION=124]silverlake250r[/MENTION] was asked for it one time, im not really sure what happened and how he proved it was his, but maybe he can chime in.
SPARK ARRESTOR IS A MUST!!!! Have one prior to coming, because you wont be able to get what you need there(on a normal day). Im trying to snatch up a few sparkeys with the rubber boot connector for extras incase people dont have them.
$26.50 for ORV sticker and State park pass(instate residents) and a flag is $15-25.
-
[MENTION=85]pinned250r[/MENTION] info on the rubber boot sparky please!
-
[MENTION=52]sameltoe[/MENTION], Sam this is a sparky http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Cobra-Sparky-Spark-Arrestor-KTM-/360794370162?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5401053072&vxp=mtr but they obviously come in all sorts of different styles and whatnot. Back when i had my Shee with toomeys, i ran these instead of the spark arrestor inside the silencer. I used a high temp rubber boot with hose clamps to attach to the sparky, and then to the silencer.
Using the boot and hose clamps avoids wrecking your silencer with scratches or permanent instal, some weld on sparkys. There are some sparkeys that you literally just crush and bend to fit your silencer, 1 it looks like shit, and 2 it ruins both parts.

They never checked my vin or anything. I don't remember much got taken out in a dnr truck
-
Right on guys just noticed the other thread with all the regs as far as the park goes thanks!
-
You guys rock the campgrounds this guy is staying at a hotel. I hate camping since I don't have a trailer
I guess I should've been more specific. All depends on the situation.
Needless to say...I've booked a room for my cousin and myself at the Sands, next door to Marc's place. Thurs through Sunday!!

So they let you reserve a room at the sands, I talked to them late last year and they told me I couldn't do that. I will be calling them this weekend and reserving a room then for Thursday thru Sunday then.
-
Yup! Booked it yesterday!
We're planning on leaving after work Wednesday. We should be arriving sometime late morning/early afternoon Thursday.

Jamie, there is plenty of room, people come in there with their goosnecks and have plenty of room. Also, Sands probably wouldnt let you reserve a room until the first of the year, much like the state parks and stuff. Now get that room!!!!
[MENTION=115]Fear250r[/MENTION], Jesse, i will take friday off to ride with you and Jamie! Shoot i may even come down thursday night to ride and have a brewski.

That's what I figured man and I know for sure I am heading up on Thursday after work. And if I'm still on 2nd I'm taking Thursday off and Friday off.
-
i am excited!
-
I'll come Thursday after work and stay thru the weekend! We can hang out at my place and have a fire and stuff, Jamie, you probably can park your trailer there, but the entire Sands parking lot is right behind my property so it doesn't really make a difference.
-
I might need to make sure I have a spare motor ready to go for this weekend, wouldn't want to miss any action!!! That and 20 gallons of race gas!

are you driving through the lakes needing a passport or staying south? either way it looks to be a little less the 14 hours, if you make this trip next year me and my son might join the convoy across to there
-
It's not too late to join!

Haven't really mapped it out. Just did a quick search as far as how long it'll take to get there. I'm seeing 15 hours. Plus I figure another hour for who knows what.
Colin (pinned) is right, it's not too late! I know you're right over the border from us. Be easy to hook up and get a mini convoy heading out there! Be part of the first ever ORGy get together!

I wish I could Im just not going to have all my ducks in a row for July to work for me....
ive got a daughter graduating college and all my extra funds are going to her and not my quads, just not financially ready this time :apologetic:

I hope to find out if we are going on our Harley trip within a week. If we are not I am going to have to come over. Just trying to see which is better to drive around the bottom or top or take the boat across to get there. Anyone know what the boat ride across is all about?

Im guessing you're talking about the SS badger right? if so that comes to my town, and is about a 30 minute drive to the dunes. I havent checked rates on the badger, but if you had your R in your truck bed, that'd obviously be the most affordable way. Im sure someone will have empty space in their enclosed trailer to park it when youre at the hotel for the night or something.

I am pretty sure that is what it's called. Either in the back of my truck and stay at a hotel or in a 6x12 trailer and camp in that.
-
Yeah your ferry coast would be a little more with the trailer, but who knows, maybe it would be overall less, compared to getting a hotel or campsite!
-
Made my reservations last week. My group and I are staying at Val-du-Lakes campground. We stayed there last year and had a great time and its hard to beat the price $15 a night.

I have taken the ferry accross to go to silverlake many times, but has gotten more and more expensive.Id call and ask if i were you. Night rates are cheaper and trailer rates go by footage from tongue to back. Putting it in the back of the truck is definetly cheaper. I think the next time i go im just going to drive around. The ferry ride is 4 hours but you have to get there like an hour early and then wait for unload then drive to silverlake. So all and all you save maybe an hour or so with the boat. The boat ride is alot more relaxing than driving though!!!!
