Riding Brewster Park

 

Jumping the KTM in Brewster park last September.

Jumping the KTM in Brewster park last September.

 

I ride a KTM mxc200 (yea, it’s a two-stroke), and my dad rides a Kawasaki Super Sherpa. My KTM is modified, with an aftermarket headlight, pipe, and muffler. My dad’s Kawasaki, on the other hand, is stock… (similar situation to our sleds!) But it still gets around.  They’re both are good bikes, and haven’t given us too much trouble – although I have learned how to get home with a snapped throttle cable…

 

The dirt riding season has only begun in the past week here. It’s the equivalent of a November snow storm: enough to get the sleds out, but not enough to ride very far. It’s kind of taunting. But, it’s only going to open up more, and today, I made it clear to Brewster Park. Actually, I made over halfway through, which is probably about 5 miles up the road.  Apart from a few snowbanks, it has dried out really clean. Unfortunately, I was, once again, stopped by an impassible drift.

 

It was fun to get back to really riding the bike again, and check out the road. Tomorrow, we’ll have to go and clear the road of some of the trees and rocks that fell over winter….

  1. [...] bikes, different styles As I mentioned in “Riding Brewster Park”, I ride a two-stroke KTM. Part of why I love it is because it’s got a snappy powerband – [...]

  2. Hello Forrest,
    Cool blog you’ve got going here! My family and I are looking at buying an outfitting business in unit 76 and moving to the area as well, that’s how I stumbled onto your lost trail website. I am curious why you guys are selling. I am sure you aren’t too excited about selling your place as it is so beautiful. I would love to talk to you or your dad in person and get the details. The dirt biking hobby really caught my attention as we have a long history of racing/riding. I don’t know if you’ve heard of Danny Hamel (my brother) or of WORCS Racing (I started and sold it) anyhow, it was cool to see folks that enjoy motorized as well as non-motorized ways to travel in the mountains. If you get a chance please give me a call sometime 702.413.4169
    Thanks,
    Dave Hamel

    Hey,
    i have heard of WORCS Racing, and it sounds really cool – even to someone who doesn’t race. Probably it’s quite a bit different from the jeep roads over the high mountain passes here… Which are about all we ride… they’re still good rides, though.

    I’ll get my folks in touch with you to discuss the ranch and outfitting, too…

    Forrest.
