I been hanging around here for around 2 years now, and finally found a place I can ride with the group!
this is my first year with a RAC permit. I ride a TE250 (1.9 gallons of fuel so not sure of the range). Older B rider in the ECEA.
I would love to go up to RAC with a group (or person) who can show me around. I will be running a GPS so I can get it all figured out.
But I have to work pretty late on 4/13 doing a firewall test Not sure I can make it on 4/14.
But in case, what time and where are you meeting? Do you park out on Burma Road?
I was unable get the old avatars reimported. Regretfully, you will have to upload your avatar again. Please report any issues here,.

Yes we can meet at Burma Rd just outside of Saint Clair, PA, 9:30am sounds like the time.
I-81 North to Pottsville exit Rt.61 south (or east?) go about 3-5 miles and you will see a Wal Mart on your left, at the NEXT LIGHT turn left, Hancock Ave (or street, lane, rd.). Within a mile it turns into Burma Rd. and has a very large and long pull off area, go about 1/2 way or more and park there. Bring a bike thats ready to ride with a full tank of fuel, some water and lunch money.
A plated ride is helpful but having a worthy trail machine is most important.

Re: Next RAC ride - Sat 4/14
How many miles do you think your going to ride? All dirt or ?% blacktop to show us around?
Will 50 fuel range be a problem?
thanks.

Re: Next RAC ride - Sat 4/14
All trails except the occasional short bit of dirt road as a transfer with the only black top we did last time being getting into town for lunch, which was only a couple miles of pavement.
I don't know the total number of miles we did or if a 50 mile range would be a problem. But then I have no idea the range of my bike so for all I know I'm in the same boat. :lol:
Anyone know the range of a ktm 300 exchange with stock tank?

Re: Next RAC ride - Sat 4/14
ktm 300s vary so much with terrain, riding style make a big difference, i have gone just over 35 miles and was just about empty but with the same bike play riding or open stuff i can get 60+ miles out of a tank.
as long as its not some tiny MX tank you'll be fine, if its 2 stroke bring some oil to carry with you in case we hit a gas station but otherwise very little blacktop, unless there is a request

its a 250cc Husky 4 stroke with fuel Injection. I switch back to running the O2 sensor to try to extend the mileage. Plus I ride mostly bottom end, with a 15/50 gear ratio. Now to see if I can get out of the work schedule so I can make it.
Re: Next RAC ride - Sat 4/14
Carry a Gatorade bottle with fuel. As soon as it'll fit, dump it in. Simple, cheap insurance. My buddy has a FI TE250 and needed that extra fuel to make the gas stop at the Hammer dual sport a couple of years ago.Towpro wrote:its a 250cc Husky 4 stroke with fuel Injection.
