New guy from Cross Lanes WV

Just picked up my first SXS.. I have always been into drag racing (just sold my Corvette).. I found a dirt bike for next to nothing (2007 KTM 250 4 stroke).. Had a blast on it for the past few weeks riding with guys from my work but the wife didnt really like being left at home all the time alone so I sold the bike to a friend and we went Monday and picked up our brand new Maverick 1000R base model.. Just starting to figure out where the trails are around here.. if anyone has advice of places please let me know.. I live really really close to the Casino in Cross Lanes WV.. We used the money from the sale of the race car to put a substantial down payment on the SXS, 6X12 trailer, and several accessories.. List below and more coming soon :)  Cant wait to meet up with some new friends with this thing!!

ITP SS212 wheels 14"
ITP Black Water Evolution tires
EMP plastic roof
Winch
Mirror
Grab handles
Sport Alum doors
Full windshield
Back windshield

Next up will probably be 4 points, and rock bars..

welcome to the forum!

   Congrats on the new Maverick!

Welcome!!!!! I think you will like the maverick. Be sure to check out the vendors on this site for some accessories for your ride,it looks like you have a great start!! most of them offer discounts for members. I run all the JBS skids and arm guards and roof and really like them.....they also make a nice heat shield for under the rack

  

     on your new ride

congrats on the MaVERICK, looks like you have a great start for a top notch MO' cheen.,

I'm not to far from you and work even closer to you at the Toyota plant. But point being I live in Kenova and often go to cabwaylingo or eastlynn to ride and it is a great area to ride let me know if you are interested in going.

 

Welcome!

Thanks for the warm welcome!! Very first ride was awesome today... UNTIL I got home... seems one of the neighbors called in and reported me (rent apt at Presidio Pointe). Told the owner my machine creates a disturbance and he didnt feel safe with me driving it down the street.. (200 yrds to trail head).. owner told me its never to touch the concrete again.. so now I will have to load it up and park my truck down the street and unload from now on.. total b.s. and im sure next time I see this guy there will be words

Nice Maverick welcome to the site.And I think I would be looking for a new place to live and tell that landlord to kiss your ass

What is the Landlord was 300 pounds and an X linebacker front he NFL?  Would you still say that to him?  

 nice ride, dang neighbors.....

I'm honestly not really mad at the landlord.. yeah he could have been nice about it since it was my first time ever having any issues and I've been there 3 years but I guess some people are just natural born buttholes.. The neighbor is who I have the biggest issue with since I, in NO way, effected his life or caused him any disturbance, yet he felt the need to call me in like a little tattle tale or something.. I have since called him a MF'n Pu**y to his face twice!!  Wont even acknowledge me.. so yeah.. he basically is exactly what I thought he was.. but I'm in no mood for a neighbor war so I have dropped it for now.. He knows how I feel about him and he isnt willing to engage me so whatever..  I went up to the KTM store in Crosslanes cause I noticed on Google maps satelite view they had a bunch of trails behind their shop.. they are totally cool with people riding on the trails but they had everyone going sign a waiver to keep on file.. works out perfect.. all the guys from me work are meeting there tomorrow morning for a ride and its a big nice parking lot to load/unload on.. If anyone local is interested we will be at KTM at 7:30am and will ride till about 11:00/11:30.. we all have to work at 1pm..

   You have as much riding as you can do in Wayne, Kanawha, Raleigh, Ritchie, Mercer, etc.  Someone is riding every weekend.  Hope to see you on the trails.

My parents are in Wayne so Im sure I will be there several times. Most of the guys at my work are wanting to join Hatfield McCoy so that will be fun too. Thanks again everyone

Welcome to the forum from a relatively new member also...MD

Welcome from about 15 mins east of you, 30 if you're stuck in Cross Lanes traffic. I used to live there years ago. Lots of outlaw trails in the eastern part of the county.
