    Unfortunately, theres no map of this area. I've been looking online for info, and all I find is fly fishing links for this watershed. Last weekend, I went up in there again. But found a diff easier route. Called Huffman Creek rd(dirt rd at first. but degrads down to a 4x4 rd, then turns into a...

    Today I rode another area only 20 minutes from the house. A huge wilderness area, with a 27 mile long dirt road cutting thru it, and up and over a 4000' ridge line toward the next town. Covered up with countless old jeep trails, cabins, seasonal deer camps, log'n operations, privater land...

    No, but its relatively close as the crow flies. Basically on the other side of the mtn and on the NC side. This is where you come out past those 2-3 cabins at the top and near the Skyway.. Gotta be the same route. No other way up there to the state line that I know of. You come out about 1/2...

    Looking down where we just came up. Told by a local, when you see some buried car tires, your at the top of Squally. At least we knew then, we were on the right track. Not out yet tho. Wayne up on upper left, scouting that big arse rock. finally, at 5300', we came out here behind this...

    Need someone who is a gasgas guru

    I think my 05 FSE is possibly doing the same thing. When I turn the key on, nothing. Then upon reaching under the tank-seat junction and slightly pulling the main hardness rearward, I always instantly hear the fuel pump energize and its gtg. Sounds pretty hokie, I know:rolleyes: My friend and...

    Another Gasser rider emerges in western NC

    Thanks. I still have some issues from the crash, but I'm riding dammit. Tried a mtn bike race last yr.. One that I won back in 010. Got my arse handed to me tho. Oh well. Hard getting back all that fitness when your older. The 450 runs good. Good smooth power w no bobbles. Feels like 3...

    Another Gasser rider emerges in western NC

    Cranking good w the button. But only tried the kick start once during todays ride, and it wouldn't start. Only tried a few times. Not encouraging tho. No spares for sale at this point. I live here in the Smoky mtns of NC. Theres endless fire service roads, but also some old school moto/4...

    Another Gasser rider emerges in western NC

    Hey guys, just thought I'd say hello. Been riding since the late 60s. Raced MX and hare scrambles thru the 70s and early 80s. Then gave it up for roadracing superbikes for a few more yrs. Been racing mtn bikes in XC and endurance events the last 12yrs..until a catastrophic sport bike crash...
