My wife and I, and possibly our son, plan to go. Not sure which day. Hope to see some big wheel trail bikes and maybe have one follow me home.

About a 4 hour and 15 minute ride for me.

Might be nice if I took my Dad along with me, spent one day at the air force museum in dayton and one day at the bike show/swap meet

I couldn't either just the biggest show/swap meet combo.

I'm going, Its a event not to miss. It is three times bigger than Windber. I've been there every year since 08 except 2011, damn work schedule. I got the time off from work already. Also Camping on site with my camper.

They are old fashioned when it comes to the web site. They do not update it very good. But its in the Jay county fair grounds and they announce the rides over the loud speakers through out the fair grounds for the time of the rides in the morning and then do a line up call before the rides start.
Also they have the times up at the registration building that's open during the whole event in the day time.

This is from Portland 2009 road trip when we went to Eldora speedway that NACSAR's Tony Stewart owns. It was a 50 mile round trip.

Here is the beer run we made on our minibikes to the local liquor store.

man i want to hang out with the rupp guys..........:laugh:........:thumbsup:
i think my briggs bike would be perfect for the road trip patrick...........
my bike hold about 1 1/2 gallons. so 50 miles would be ok for me,but what about you guys with smaller tanks. do you guys stop a gas station.

 

[minibikedude]

My Honda Trail 70 with a 110cc engine and a half gallon tank made it on a full tank and back with some left to spare, I would think the Rupp's could make it too, they hold about a gallon of a fuel on a full tank, The ride is a little slow like at Windber on the way there, and on the way back once you know your way back to the fair grounds guys will hit it hard back there. It's your butt that gets sore on the ride. :laugh: Also some guys strap a small 1 gallon gas tank to the luggage racks on there bikes if they had one.

 

[smallbikes88]

i plan on doing all the rides i can, even though you can just go out on your own all over the town! I have my street ride for portland almost done!

 

[minibikedude]
