Hello all. I have been trolling this site for a couple weeks, and from what I have seen looks to be very informative and insightfull.

I am the proud owner of a 05 Foreman S 4X4. Bone stock, no upgrades except grips.

I am a Cable Technician during the day, and an Auxiliary Police Officer at night. Married, with our first child (daughter) on the way. We live in Central Illinois...closest decent place to ride is about 1.5 hours southwest of here in Astoria.

I look forward to learning more from all of you!

There are better places her in central Illinois to ride than Brushy Ridge. Try this place out Wilburn Ruffcorn Farm in Loraine. Were going back the 16th of July for a big group ride. Lot's of mud!!!!!!! Nice creeks and nice trails. Just follow his rules because he has been sending people packing for hot roding in the parking area and riding in his cow pasture.

Oh and welcome to the site!

Thanks for the info! Yeah, Brushy Ridge is getting a little old. The hills are what I dislike about it. Lots of off-camber stuff, while going downhill. I don't care for that type of riding. The creek is nice though on a hot day.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

BigDaddy....Yup...that will be our next place to go. From the way it looks, it is just about double the distance from Astoria, about 2 1/2 hours. I am going to attempt to adjust my valves this week, and maybe shoot for next weekend to go!
