According to Bob T, we went 152 miles on Memorial Day from Hilltop to Matewan, WV. Yes, Matewan and that's one way. We came back on outlaw trails. We went from Hilltop, to Welch, to Gilbert on outlaw trails. We then did parts of Hatfield-Mccoy Rockhouse trail system, all the Devil Anse trail system. Some of us then did Parts of buffalo Mountain trail system into Matewan, WV. I rode with Coop which was an exhilarating experience. The dude has driving skills and moxie. He was constantly racing Scott, Randy and Allen. I was holding on for dear life. Below are pictures when I was standing still. It was impossible to take pictures while riding. The Devil Anse Cemetery The view from the Matewan Bed & Breakfast Bunkhouse Balcony. I was in the same room with 11 other snoring guys. Bob explaining to Ken how to adjust his mirror. Randy assisted Allen with his arms crossed. Scott is on the left. The rest are guys from Northern Virginia Coop More pictures below. larrymccallie.smugmug.com/2016-Memorial-Day-Hilltop-to-Matewan

Good write up and pics Larry. Now it's time to repair some Rzr's. Mine has a light metallic tapping above 20mph - I'm hoping it's just a loose bolt somewhere easy to get to. I really enjoyed the ride. The time's we had a quick pace was fun. I like the pics. This one's a classic...

Well, after the mountain climb to get up there everyone was huffin and puffin and all the big headstones were taken. That small one was all that was left! Fun times

Larry and Coop feeding the wild critter that was terrorizing us and blocking the trail!

Does this picture make my nipple look big? For the uninitiated, Ken is talking about his right brake light; not a body part. There is a little bump on the brake line lens. We think its from the heat of the light bulb.

That is a very dirty picture with the strap almost covering the nipple.

Wiley, I will make a new map this weekend with the connector on it. I was missing about 2 miles of it which I got this weekend. Checked my machine out and no carnage but it had the most mud with embedded gravel I have ever had. Confirmed my fan is bad. I ran my theory past Greg and he agreed. Three weeks ago when I had a stick stuck in it and it could not spin it most like got so hot that some of the winding insulation got burnt off. Now when it runs for awhile like when going up a big hill it shorts out and trips the circuit breaker. I noticed that after it ran a while it would start to slow down and then quit. I have attached the GPS tracks for this weekend rides. 2016-05-28 Hilltop to Matewan.gdb (217.4 KB) 2016-05-29 Matewan to Hilltop.gdb (155.06 KB)

Not sure running it past Greg counts as a definite conclusion. When I pulled up to get my FJ to rescue Ken Jim was telling me Greg concluded the A/C in our camper did not work and needed a capacitor or something. I went into the camper and bumped the a/c Temp down and it came on. Guess "I" fixed it (lol).
I've got Carnage but have to find it all. Last ride I sheared some bolt heads. Haven't looked hard enough yet after this ride. I do know the new rear knuckles, hubs, and bearings held up perfect.

The Mass of the stick x energy of the fan squared = winding meltdown

Does this picture make my nipple look big? Looks like you should of had the wooden spare on. Did the brake wear through the backing plate or did it just fall out? N/m I just watched the vid.

Thanks to Randy's RZR Recovery Service for coming to the rescue! He's building up quite a pile of happy customers! He must really like you. He sure didn't volunteer to get Bob.
