When she's not swamped at work, the girlfriend and I enjoy camping in the outback - meaning undeveloped or "rough" camping. Campgrounds are for sissys! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Hey, I represent that remark! :lol: :lol:
I have not been camping since my grandad passed away back in '95.
Got a new tent, bought 3 years ago and it has never been taken out of the box. I gotta get outside more.

My hobby outside of toy cars is raising picture number 1 so that we can restore a picture number 2.

I took you for a liter guy :D

Just given ya' a hard time. Nothing carves like a six.
I miss my 12R though. I think we are going off road next year. I love the Polaris Rzr although I don't like side by sides. Got 2 kids though so standard 4 wheelers are not an option.

Yep the R6 is a corner weapon, we got a lot of bends in the UK :wink: I used to ride a Gixer K2 but chopped it for the R6 and one of these to take the lady touring on :D

Ohh that is nice. If I buy another bike, it'll be a cruiser or naked. Maybe an Eddie Lawson style 1200. I like those.

I ride a 06 Honda TRX450R, and the wife has an 06 400EX.
Try to hit Coal Creek, and Turkey Bay OHV areas as much as I can when I'm not racing my other toys......

Have you ever been on the Hatfield and McCoy Trail Riding System? I think they actually renamed it to Hatfield and McCoy Trails. They have over 500 hundred miles and they just keep getting bigger. Here is a link: http://www.trailsheaven.com/

I live about 45min from Watkins Glen, so that's my home track. Such a luxury! I think I'm 3-4hrs from NYC.
