RCH Oct. 2011 Debacle

So latest trip to RCH. I love that place but this trip turned out to be a turd. Only road 60 miles or so and 20 of that was limping home on a flat tire. THANKS JAY!!!!


He looks innocent enough. Getting ready to ride

Bobby ready to go. Note the properly inflated tires under him

Bobby having a little fun. Jay puts and end to that soon enough


Jay has no air in his tires!! Whats that Jay? No 3psi is not enough Dumb A$$

No Jay your #1

We did this X 25

It doesn't seem to be holding much air


Okay Jay I'm sorry about the Dumb A$$ crack I got you an ice cream. Yes your still #1

Much cussing and stopping 22 odd miles later we made it back to RCH. The culprit was a gash in the sidewall that went up under the bead. 8 ply Grim Reapers with only 100 odd miles on them. So we cut our trip short by two days and went home. Sux Thanks Jay Dumb A$$!!!!!!!!!! We will send you photos of our next trip.

Thats for sure, I believe in at least 6 to 8 lbs, I have seen to many tires pinched againist the wheel breaking a sidewall or the bead poping away from the wheel. Did you try & buy a tire down there, I know it would be hard to match
A lesson to remember in the future. I think I'LL check my PSI havn't done this in awhile.

To bad about you guys loosing 2 days of riding. It's hard enought to get a trip together

Okay Jay does not come by the site often. So to assure he gets the proper beating he deserves I e-mailed him a direct link.

You there Jay??

So far he has not e-mailed me back. Probably still looking for a tire gage.



For thous that do not know me so well. I'm really not a meanie ( Gump will attest to this ) Jay just has it coming. I owe him

I know it shouldn't be funny............

but I laughed out loud reading the captions

at least you had good weather for the 60 miles.

sometimes shit happens. I wasnt 10 miles into our first day at Maine when I knocked a hole in one of my new bighorns. I was sworn to secrecy about it so we wouldnt have to listen to a certain member who has bad luck with bighorns. I did have mine inflated to 7.5 pounds but sometime its just your time

G Bob

I seem to remember another new tire at BM a few years back. The one with all the plugs

Don't come to Jay's defence. Get to know him you will see he has it coming.

Yeah Grizz, I think that one took 6 plugs to fix..the one at Maine only took 4 but it took a day to get it to stop leaking. This after the friendly neighbor Can Am dealer told me he could put a plug patch in the tire but wouldnt do it because it might blow out and cause a wreck. Which reminds me...I was gonna go to Yellowbook.com and give him a poor customer service rating

words cant describe my feelings

Lmao gbob you just upset the sites major sponsor maxxi pads for big boys. Lol @ sworn to secrecy

actually it makes me feel good to know that I ride with almost as much reckless abandon as you do and that at my advancing age I'm still able to ruin a perfectly good tire with a 600 lb atv

G Bob

Look familiar

Poor Jay... he needed a few tire plugs last time we rode with him.

I finaly got a reply from the email I sent Jay


F$#% YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Denny

was all it said.


He loves me!

Another one of Jay's greatest hits

Yeah Grizz after ruining 2 terracross radials I decided to move to bighorns. I gave Jo the terracross tires for her kodiak and she ran them for over 4000 miles without a problem. So much like someone else on this website (Gump) Its not the tires but the guy controlling the vehicle thats the cause of the tire problems

dont worry gbob im sure when i reach your age i too will prob. Slow down and be scared of things. But you know us wreckless youth we dont give a shit! Money groes on trees around me.

Another note i think i rode with you 3 times and i think yours or your wifes quad were trailered back to the lodge. No one has towed my rzr back. You have a worse track record for break downs then me. Its an atv they take a beating and shit happens. So you can drop the bashing of me any time now
