    Wish I could but I'm injured. Also, if that's the pb500 I don't think I have enough cc's because they don't like the enduro guys in their event.

    It's not that enduro guys are not welcome, the ride is set up for large bore adventure bikes. A lot of distance between gas stops and a lot of street/dirt road mileage.
    It's not the type of ride you would want to ride an enduro-specific bike on anyway.
    Also, because it is on highly visible public roads, they don't want illegally plated dirt bikes getting pulled over by cops for spot inspections.( ie: 2 strokes, etc.)

    I understand and have read a lot of discussion about how the bigger bikes get tired of the enduro guys revving behind them...no worries I didn't mean to sound cynical about it. I just feel for drz400s type guys that might want to join the trip and can't. My little 250 wouldn't be much fun on that ride for sure, but I don't think it would be bad on a 450/510 though I think they're out too right(under 600cc)?

    Now I'm really bummed I'm hurt though it would probably not be much fun on my bike.

    They describe the intent pretty well here: http://www.pinebarrens500.org/

    Now Open to All Size Dual Sport and

    Adventure Style Machines!



    Have fun everyone!

    Would all you street legal guys be interested in a fun invitational ONLY party series?

    Something along the lines of an informal trail ride series that uses all areas of New Jersey not just state forest.

    And again it would be for hard core street legal dirt bikes.

    Yes I would be interested for sure! Currently nursing a broken wrist but I hope to be back in action in late October. Not sure if I will be ready for the early October ride.
