Just wanted to say what a pleasure meeting everyone. We have a great group of guys on this forum, and I felt right at home.
I camped with redyfz450 ( Jeff) and eggyhead (Bob ) And recieved my first actual Joyner rides...the 1600 and the 250. The 1600 "ate up the bumps" and flew...I would trade my quad for the 250 today. They were both great machines.
Hoodlum (Randy) and Guy (Mark) sat around the campfire with us untill late saturday night. Thanks for the firework display Stu
It was truly a please hanging with all of you, and meeting everyone else on the trail.
I know many of you still have a long drive...be safe, talk to you soon.

DITTO that! I just got home, tossed my gear in the garage. Tossed my filthy laundry down the stairs (sorry, hon!) and I'm headed to bed. Luckily I took one of Paddy's wonderful 40° showers this a.m. so I'm clean enough for bed
I had a blast and got reacquainted with some return members, met some new ones, etc.
Pics & video to come... _________________ _________________

It was great to meet you and everyone else there. Everyone was great! I can't imagine spending the weekend with a nicer group of people. I have some great video and pictures of the weekend. I need a day or so to sort through them all.
Hoodlum-
Thanks for letting me take the Razor for a spin. That is one awesome machine! Glad I can say I was the first one to get yours up on two wheels. Just sorry no one saw me do it!
My favorite machine there was probably the Joyner 1600 that redyfz450 picked up on the way from San Diego. That thing was incredible!
Mark-
Great to see you again and sorry I didn't get to take a ride in your Ridge Runner! That thing is SWEET!
My highlight of the weekend had to be the night ride on Saturday night with my son(Tyler), Gogokarting(Bill), Boo(Bailey) and the Yerf Dog Boys! That was awesome. Also, the kids drag racing was endless entertainment. No wait, maybe the highlight was watching Bailey go 3/4 of the way up 400 hill with his Blade 70. Don't worry, I have video of that one. Or maybe the highlight was me driving Bailey's 70 back from 400 hill in the pooring rain and then doing donuts in the mud with it.
Haha!!!! I had a great time this weekend and sure enjoyed meeting everyone! Tyler asked if we were going back tomorrow. I hope everyone returns back home safely.

Yea, what they said...Had a great time...Glad you made it home o.k. Mark....I know you had a LLOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG drive....lol....
A shout out to Jim in the big coach....I enjoyed talking with you and John....You meet some truly unique folks when you get out at events like these....
Better get some shin gaurds soon....That grandson of your is going to keep getting bigger and stronger!!!!...lol.....(inside joke).......
Also a shout out to Ebb and his mud luvin wife....That girl wears mud for makeup!!!!! lol.....By the way Ebb...At least make a post every once in a while just to let us know your still lurking......Let me know when you guys are going riding sometime...I would love to catch up with you.....
It was a pleasure meeting Jeff from SD California...That 1600 is massive!!! Hope you are having a safe trip home...Let us know how that turbo works out....
Also had a great time visiting with eggyhed and Layman and company Saturday night...See you guys at ST Joes soon I hope....
It was a great trip... The rzr performed perfectly...Hardly even rode the pilot except to do a little drag racing....They rzr is much more adequate for those type trails than the pilot, and uses ALOT less fuel.....lol.....
Your quite welcome for the test ride Blister....I am glad I didn't see you on two wheels....Atleast you stayed on rubber, even though it wasn't all of it...That's still better than rollbar and fenders.....lol....
Hate it for you guys that didn't make it....I would post some pics, but I didn't take any!!!!!

I too had a great time. I could have only asked for another day to meet more people. I have made it to Little Rock so far, only 1,500 or so miles to my next stop. I will definately make another trip in the future.

This was first time to Bash, first time around other buggies, and was really looking forward to seeing what Buggie life was all about. Tried to have my 2 Blades running good enough not to be too "rookie". Great week-end. Not near enough time to meet enough people and ride too. Been fighting desease over 2 years and take potent meds that put me down early in eve which took away social time. Being next to Hoodlum, scary, was a pleasure, never got him a good breakfast. Guy was great on taking us a good ride. It was a pleasure riding with the "big" boys with our 150's. Great to finally meet Stu and several of his helpful dealers. Only lost fender, trashed reverse unit, had seat coming apart on track, rear disc brake came loose. Found out later, grandson "powered" a reverse move. It lasted quite awhile and went out at the best possible place. Being first time, it is unbelievable what these buggies take.
Stu, Buggie News and the great input from you guys certainly got me going in pretty good shape. Great group.
Only thing I found confusing was what was happening and when/where. Maybe just being new was my problem.
Thanks again to everyone. Fine time.

It was great to meet & hang out with you too, Jim. Sorry about the confusion. I guess the motto of the Second Annual Buggy Bash should be "JUST RIDE!" We just didn't get our poop in a group and figure a way to communicate with everyone. Next time maybe we'll put up a bulletin board and encourage everyone to stop & look at it a couple times a day to check for scheduled events. I'm learning as I go... _________________ _________________
