Potential Florida Dirt Ride

[Dave_In_Florida]

I guess we need to start talking about dates.

 

[gbabins1]

so whats up with some group riding guys we got off topic

Sorry about that :doah:

 

[Dave_In_Florida]

So lets talk dates. Should we aim for July to give people time to schedule around the ride?

 

[dollastudios]

Fort Myers?? Im in for first or last weekend of July or in August

Have any of my fellow Floridians heard of this place.

Suburban Estates Holopaw Florida Recreational Land

 

[Dave_In_Florida]

I've heard of it, not real interested in riding there. It's swamp land. It's also like the wild west. Lots of fighting and shooting out there, terrain too rough for the cops to show up so you're on your own. And its swamp land, so lots of water and mud. Search youtube, lots of mud truck videos taken there.

Yea I kind of thought so looking at the photos. Where I live there is no place to ride. Always looking. Really can't do much now any way but should be good to go in about 4 months. Thanks.

Has anyone heard about an old abandoned neighborhood/development in Palm Bay??

 

[Dave_In_Florida]

Not me. I did hear of a place in like Punta Gorda or somewhere near there, Markus could probably tell us. Our mutual friend Brett was telling me about it at a VW show. Supposedly some paved roads and lots of dirt riding. Not legal but everybody does it anyway kinda thing.

 

[maverick1]

I'll ask about Palm Bay at work. Many miles of roads there.I do know the 4 wheelers and atv's have managed to get allot of the places closed down in Palm Bay and other places throughout the county. It only takes a few bad apples.

 

[Dave_In_Florida]

We need to get something together, maybe southern Polk county to make it fair for everyone?

GO KART TRACK, did someone say access to a GO KART TRACK?!
How fun would that be?!! :2guns: yeeeeehaaaawwww!!!!
You need to get with him, set a date and make that happen!
There are at least 5 of us from West Palm area that would make a drive for that kinda fun, dirt or pavement.

August 6th 7th and 8th going to croom motorcycle area in brooksville fl me, my son and brother gonna ride 2500 acres set aside for dirt bike ,atvs and 3wheelers should be lots of fun

 

[Dave_In_Florida]

Are you only bringing mini bikes or are you also bringing dirt bikes and quads? How much is a day pass to ride there?

 

[markus]

you guys know you have to have OHV permits to ride at Croom right? In order to get a permit for your bike, it must have a "title". What are you guys using for paperwork to get a mini registered there??

If your under 16 you must have a saftey course cert. as well, Lots of fun rules and regulations

 

[Dave_In_Florida]

I looked on the website for croom. It mentions a fee to ride in the park that's paid for a whole year (prorated, but the year is July-June, so you'd end up paying almost the full amount). Another web site said this fee was $65.

I didn't see info about having a title on the web, but I've heard this before from friends that ride out there.

I don't have the certificate of origin for my Baja Warrior, so not sure if I could get one

Either way, it's not happening for me in the next couple of weeks. If you guys come out I'll come up to camp and hang out though!
