Anyone planning on going Wheeling again anytime soon down south?

I'd like to get in on that, and I might actually be bringing a bike with me.

As far as I know to go wheeling at that state park we were at you have to have a registered and insured bike to go riding there. But if anyone wants to do some quading and dirtbiking and knows a good place I'd definitely be in for it. I'm thinking of buying a used yamaha 250

Pretty sure you gotta have the full 9 yards, pretty much be able to legally ride your bike in from the street and onto the trails. Getting the motorcycle permit and test is cake though!

Alex, I'm installing new front wheel bearings and front axle U-joints as soon as they come in (hopefully tomorrow), and I'm ordering my new shocks tonight. As soon as they come in and go on, I'll be all set :)

You do if you ride in Wharton which I think is where your talking about.

you need registration, you do not NEED a motorcycle license and you do not NEED to be able to ride off the street

To ride a dirtbike in Wharton you need a motorcycle liscense, the bike needs to be registered and insured most of the dirt roads back there are considered state roads so on pavement or on a dirt road is considered the same

Dunno but everytime I've been pulled over by a ranger back there when I was on my bike that's what they asked for.

I was going by what Big Jon & Ted have told me because I've always been curious everytime in the area. I saw were street legal Dirt Bikes (which I was refering to with the whole 9 yards, being in a state park)

so you want a dual sport bike, not a dirt bike.

dirt bikes are not street legal.

Maybe I just haven't seen enough of what Wharton has to offer, but I would think it would be rather boring terrain-wise for anyone on a bike. Most of the trails are just flat dirt roads, and most of the spots that would present a challenge to any of us in a truck would stop bikes in their tracks.

Eah I just like to cruise around back there and check out the historical stuff so its more enjoying the ride than doing any serious off roading. When we take the trucks out we normally hit quarter mile mud and mount jamyma
