Had to book at the Comfort Inn. It says there are trails to the RRB resort area. Should I just trailer it from the hotel each day or ride it? Wife didnt like the idea of rough lodging....hahaha! Also may have our little guy so the hotel may be better with him (3yrs old)...

Also, anyone used a car seat or booster for their kids on the bench seat between mom and dad? We may be testing one at the takeover..

Also, how do I get some of those nifty Honda SXS stickers you all have? I hate to be the dude without some at the event!

I used a booster seat in the center of the bench for a 3 year old and it worked well! If you are large in the mid section then elbow room may be hard but my wife and I had no issues. She is small at 5'2" and 110lbs. I am 6'2" and down to 190lbs ;-)

Cool. The wife and I are both "rubinesque" or as I say "portly" so we may struggle with it. Thanks for the info. We will mock it up over the weekend.

If anyone is attending and has a spare deluxe 1000 wheel front or rear they want to sell I'm all ears! It would be a good place to part out a set of 4. Just remember, I asked first!!! hahaha

Only 1 person per machine has to have the permit and under 13 is free.

Trail Permits - COST TO RIDE!
  • Daily out of state permit, type 038 = $37.00
  • Daily in state permit, type 036 = $15.00
  • Annual permits are the best option if riding for 4+ days or plan to return.
  • Annual out of state permit combo, type 071+093, $130.00
  • Annual in state permit combo, type 001+093, $53.00
  • Only 1 permit needed per vehicle, passengers ride FREE!
  • Get permits here --> Tennessee Online Hunting & Fishing License Center
    Click Hunting or Fishing and continue till you get to the selection type page. Select the correct type # listed above. Permit is called - NR High Impact
Just to be sure, the 071 and 093 permits are game related: small game and big game. Not sure how this relates at all to riding down there-but want to buy the right stuff. Just checking because we dont hunt! Thanks!

It's complicated, through a loop hole somehow.
@JACKAL can explain... Sometime.

Cool. Is it trail or rock fire roads? If trail I'm down with it. If paved or rock I'll save the fresh bighorns for trails!
It Trail 12 & 10 is dirt trails except the last 3.5 miles on stinking creek road that is blacktop to the campground, there is a way to stay totally on the trails but you will spend an hour getting there not 30 minutes.

Event Registration Cost - FREE, Donation requested!
  • UPDATE... We have decided for the 3rd year there will be NO required cost to attend our group ride. However, we are asking for donations to help cover the cost of the event, Saturday evening meal, and trail souvenir. We hereby declare this a non-profit event and all funds collected will be used for this sole purpose.
  • This year we will be asking everyone to register for the ride to get a better idea of the number expected.
  • Registration ends March 20th.
Trail Permits - Land access permit!
  • Only 1 permit needed per vehicle, passengers ride FREE!
  • Daily out of state permit, type 038 = $37.00
  • Daily in state permit, type 036 = $15.00
  • Annual permits are the best option if riding for 4+ days or plan to return.
  • Annual out of state permit combo, type 071+093, $130.00
  • Annual in state permit combo, type 001+093, $53.00
  • Get permits here --> Tennessee Online Hunting & Fishing License Center
  • Click Hunting or Fishing and continue till you get to the selection type page. Select the correct type # listed above. Permit is called - NR High Impact

  • The Hunting permits end up being quite a bit cheaper that the riding trail use only permit, so if you want to give them an extra $30 to protest hunting buy the trail use permit for 2 days, only one or the other is required.

You will be riding in a 200,000 acre Wildlife Management Unit ran by state of TN. To ride the trails, or have ANY access you have to buy a trail use permit or buy the combination Hunting permits as put up on here. The hunting permits are cheaper for out of state riders than buying the trail use permits, so to keep people from spending money they do not need to we linked only the hunting permits since it is the cheaper option.

if you're talking about the hitch on the rear of the camper, it is very simple. this trailer has a nice structural tube bumper welded solidly to the frame, so I'm using a hitch that mounts to the bumper with large u-bolts that are shaped like the bumper. It would not hold a very heavy load, but its great for hauling the sxs or my golf cart. If you're coming to the "takeover" at royal blue in april, you can check it out there.
Maryland sucks u can't do that in MD Im moving out west at some point or down south anywhere but here lol
