Hi All
Been following the site for a while and finally decided to register. I have found it a great source for info on the K5 (the only bike to ride). If anybody gets the hankering to give the trails of northern Michigan or the Michigan Cross Country Cycle Trail (MCCCT) a good shredding, give me a shout. :-D

Hi GotThrottle
Welcome to the site. Lots of great information here. I spend much time riding Northern Michigan on my KX500. Baldwin,Kalkaska,Cadilac and Bull Gap are some favorites. I plan to install the paddle and try the dunes this year.
Give me a shout and maybe we can roost the red bikes together. Im not street legal so the MCCT is off limits for me. Are you a member of the Michigan Cycle Conservation Club ?

Hi there Johhniespeed
Living in South Boardman (about 8 miles south of Kalkaska) I ride the Grand Traverse, Fife Lake, and Leetsville loops without the trailer. It is great to have the K5 plated but I try not to push it. I been dieing to get over to Bull Gap but haven?t had time yet this year. I haven?t figured out yet how to contact you directly, but if you are headed up this way drop a line on this thread and I will see what I can do to meet you.
No, I do not belong to the Cycle Conservation Club yet. They appear to run dual sports and tend to frown on the motocross bikes with a plate bolted to the rear fender. But I am eyeing one of those new KTM 525 EXC-G that comes completely street legal. While it is a nice looking, light, trail bike, I am having a moral dilemma with the four stroke. Never owned one but unfortunately times are changing. Once I acquire the dual sport I will probably join the CCC and maybe do the six day ride.
Hi there maddoggy
If you are going to ride the dunes in Michigan I suggest you head to the Silver Lake Dunes. I do not think you will get a very warm welcome on your K5 at the sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. And if you are heading over to the Silver Lake Dunes make sure you have a flag and a USFS approved spark arrester. The DNR will inspect it. Don?t want to be setting those sand dunes on fire!!! :roll:
