Hydromike, thanks for the info on the helmets. I will have to hurry up and find some helmets for the kids.

Good idea...
Just to clarify; their website says "A helmet is required all times you are on ATVs....<snip> ..." . It doesn't specifically say regulation DOT helmets, but I wouldn't push your luck with a bicycle helmets for the kids, only to find out the managment simply isn't being specific enough.
::EDIT::
I won't fight wearing a helmet if they're requiring it; it's their place and their rules. BUT.... loopholes abound:
"If you are on a utility vehicle (razor, rhino, commander, etc.), or a machine containing a roll bar, a helmet is optional."
'See that weasel-word "OR"? You don't get a whole heckuvalot more "utility" than the two tractors I'm bringing this time around. I'll wear my helmet; 'just sayin'.....

Dan! or Lewis! Are one of you def going to see Ken before you head to Busco? I just called and paid for a drive-belt for my Conquest. Could one of you pick up the belt and bring it to Busco? I told them if someone comes in saying they needed a belt that's been paid for and needs to go to Busco, let it ride! Could one of you confirm that my belt can catch a ride with you?? Thanks!!!
When I spoke to the staff about helmets they never clarified about helmet type. I think they do understand that our machines will rarely exceed a slow crawl and it's probably not necessary, but out of fairness to other riders they will require it. (Unless you have a roll bar) So I'm thinking they won't be terribly strict about helmet type on our machines, I really think a biking helmet would suffice.

Got the frame done! Going to bolt the cross bars on so it'll store smaller. Gotta get a coat of paint on her.

I'm bringing the Surtrek. It will be fine in open areas, but tight trails will be a problem. Need 9' to turn it around.
I'll be getting there on Thursday around 4:00. Is there a spot reserved for us? Lewis what day will you be there?
I will be getting there Thursday also if anyone is going to reserve a spot for all anyone heading down wed. night from the north east
I know how you feel there Raceone3, I'm still turning the wrench on my Hustler today and tomorrow afternoon. I hope to get it all loaded tomorrow evening so I can just head out Thursday morning. I don't know if anybody reserved any of the hookups in our area by the showers. I hope someone has.
Me and my group hit a major snag last night when discovering my driven clutch is jacked up.
I'm in a mad scramble to repair the clutch. Any insight or help would be majorly appreciated. Thread with the pictures and info at: http://www.6x6world.com/forums/argo-...tml#post129310
Also, if anyone has parts or an entire driven clutch they would bring to Busco and sell it would be a life saver. A new driven clutch was priced by my local dealer at $388. Jeez.
Packing up now, tomorrow I'll see family in MD and I'll arrive sometime Friday. I will NOT have a machine unfortunately. I had 0 time to attempt getting the wolf ready. I will bring a dirtbike, and between that and hanging out with some guys I haven't seen in WAY too long, it will be a good time I'm sure.
