Welcome

Mike

Welcome to the 4 Wheeler Cowboys forums.

sam

YES, I was waiting for you to start a forum. How do I load pictures and such onto the forum?

sam

Does JED know about this?

Mike

I haven't told jim or jed about the forum, and since they never visit the site, i doubt they know about it.

To add pictures to the forum add them to the gallery in the album Forum Stash.

Here is an example

!http://atvcowboy.com/atvgallery/?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=7686&g2_serialNumber=1!

and here is the code used to do that

!http://atvcowboy.com/images/stash/imageInstructions.jpg!

I got that funky url by right clicking (control-clicking on the mac) on the image I wanted and doing copy link location.

sam

Sweet, I think I can figure it out!! I dont't think Jed will really log on that much unless we tell him about it. But I don't really see Jed getting into the who forum thing. But Im way stoked about this. I would reply to your trip monolog. It was the closes thing that I had to this.

sam

Bro. I really like the layout and the colors you picked for the webiste. Its really clean and easy to use. The photo at the top is way cool also. Thumbs up on a job well done......Not to shabby for a guy that hates to draw stick figures...

Heh, thanks man. it was a long weekend of work, but I'm really happy with the final results. I'll still probably make a few tweaks here and there, but that's just the webdesigners disease taking over.

Tell Jed about it, and I'll tell Jim. Hopefully we can at least BS here every once in a while.

sam

I can't remember If you got Big horn handle bars for your EX? Did you have to buy a adapter? If so, how much did everything cost? Also have you sent in your shocks to get them rebuilt? You should send them asap so they will be ready for spring riding....

Mike

For the EX I got the "Long Horn":https://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDetail.do?prodFamilyId=1447&navTitle=Control&webCatId=12&webTypeId=70&stockId=48576&navType=type Handlebars for $50, and a "trial tech big bar clamp":https://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDetail.do?prodFamilyId=6745&navTitle=Control&vehicleId=765&webCatId=12&webTypeId=186&stockId=29972&navType=type for $72. There are cheaper big bar clamps out there.

On the Z i just went with "ATV Sport Bend Tusk Handlebars":https://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDetail.do?prodFamilyId=12330&navTitle=Control&webCatId=12&webTypeId=70&stockId=120103&navType=type

Yeah, i really gotta get the shocks going. I was waiting for my dad to send me a check for the work we've already done, but I just got it today. So I'll be calling GTThunder hopefully this afternoon.

sam

Sweet, Im way excited to see how the shocks ride. Maybe in the near future I can get my hands on a pair of 450r shocks to use. Jed mentioned to me that you maybe wanted to go riding this saturday? I think its a good idea. My wife and I were personally invited to gavin oldhams bapitsm on saturday at 10:30 but maybe we could work something out and go after. We should go out into the desert or something. Which handle bars do you like better? I know that you havent really given them a proper test but give me your views on both:)

Mike

Well, its hard to say since I haven't actually ridden the EX since I put its bars on. But if I had to choose off of looks, and feel from just sitting on them in the garage, i'd probably go with the Longhorns.

Maybe tonight I'll do some doughnuts in my backyard to get the feel of each of them.

sam

Bro. what do you think about riding tomorrow?

sam

Mike, Have you sent in your shocks Yet?

Mike

No, I haven't ripped em off the EX yet. Hopefully I have time this weekend.

sam

Jed wants to go camping this weekend! See what you can do!

Mike

Ben is having a birthday party at 9:00am on Saturday morning. I don't think I can make it.

sam

Do you think you could come out later?

Mike

Yeah, I don't think Ben's thing is gonna last all day, and if it looks like it is going to I'll just leave early.
I might borrow Joe's quad or something because I think/hope my wife wants to come.

Mike

=\ Couldn't make it. Make sure you write about the trip in the trip log section.

sam

Dude, tell me that you can go camping this weekend!!!! The weather is going to be so nice....you'll have your new shocks for the ex....Ask your inlaws if you can borrow the there trailer to make it nicer for your wife.

Mike

I'm in man. Nat is gonna as her parents tomorrow. And knowing them it won't be a problem. I'm not sure if I'll have the shocks back and installed by then, but I hope so.

sam

Thats the best news I have heard all week!!!

jim

Howdy boys

Mike

Hey Jim. Glad you finally registered.

sam

Jim....its about time you showed up!!! I mean Jed signed up before you for cryin out loud. You use a computer every single day... HAH. I was thinking that Jim is going to be a DAD here in a week or so. You better call us and let us know when she is born.

sam

Also Jim I was thinking that since Mike, Jed, and I have had such a profound infleunce on your life that you should give your girls middle name Sammikejed! Sounds good to me. Ask what meg thinks about it. Im sure she will be up for it.

sam

Hey, My wife's bday is in may and so is one of her good friends that she works with. Sarah and her friend want to go camping up lake fork the weekend of may 18,19th so pencil that into your schedule. Jim, I know that your wife just had a baby,.....your still invited and we would love to see ya all there. But I was thinking that we should go camping sooner also. I think Jed has told you all about the dune trip for Douglas G before he goes on his mish. that would be the 27th and 28th of this month if im not mistaken. My mother in law is coming in from England so I dont't think Sarah will come. But, She gave me the OK to go.

sam

Hey, just a reminder This weekend (May 18-19) we are planning a camping trip. I can't recall who I have invited and who I haven't. We are planning on Lake Fork. Mike and Jim let me know if you can come.

Mike

I'm still not sure whether I'm camping or not, but I'll be there Saturday for sure.

sam

DUDE, your Little Vanity Movie is pretty sweet. It totally pumps me up and makes me want to go RIDE.

Mike

Heh thanks man. Once we get more footage, I'd like to do one of all of us. I've also started adding new banners to the top of the page. they get randomly loaded, so you might see yourself. I still need to do one for jed though.

Johnny O

Should I send you my bank account number so you can do direct deposit on the royalties of my sweet photos used on this site?

Johnny O

Also, how many talent scouts do we have out there?

Johnny O

Mike, this website is totally sweet. Can I upload photos as a member or do I need to give them to you as the Administrator to upload? I will be packing my camera everywhere in hopes of making the photo of the week at atvcowboys!

Johnny O

Maybe you could show Jed how to use a computer and he could actually join the club. Tell him that I will be assuming his position in ATV Cowboys until he officially registers on the site. I know that I am a member of the website, but how do I actually become an ATV Cowboy? Namely, get invited to go riding with you guys? Besides the two times you invited me because you needed me to drive my truck?

sam

John quit complaining. Besides if you go that means I can't ride your dirt bike. (this is Richard)

sam

Just kidding. I think that they should invite me more often. The last time everyone went riding I got uninvited by you John. (this is Richard again)

sam

Mike how do I get a picture for my ID?

Mike

I have to manually approve who can add pictures. And you've been approved =-) I'd love to see your pictures man.

Mike

Go to profile at the top of the forum, click on personality, then add/change avatar.

Mike

Stop talking as sam and just sign up your own account.

Offroadstallion

Novice #1 checking in. Still dreaming to have the vibration from a thumper, feeling the back end slide out, and the throttle power up. Happy to be aboard.

sam

Richard tried to sign up for his own account but it gave us a error saying that we had to wait for a hour before we could sign up another account from the same IP adress. We tried to sign him up right after I got john signed up

sam

Offroadstallion, Killer name!!

sam

Congrats Offroadstallion on your sweet purchase of a KTM....
You need to get us some photos of the bike. In fact if you want I can show you how to put your Bike as your picture.

Nice forum,

Its nice to see people with a forum centered around Utah, All the ones I have found doesn't really have a lot of information for Utah. Especially the sand dunes.

Check out "http://ivinsoffroad.com/":http://ivinsoffroad.com/

Mike

Welcome to the site. I agree with you on the Utah thing. It's hard to find info about a lot of places besides the Piute trail and Little Sahara. Our forums pretty new, but hopefully we can build a decent catalog of nice places to ride.

From the looks of your site it looks like you've been to more dunes than we have. We'd love it if you would "tell us what you thought of them.":http://atvcowboy.com/punbb/viewforum.php?id=5

sam

Mike What are you doing tomorrow for the 4th? You hanging out with the inlaws?

Mike

I don't know. I want to ride somewhere bad at least for a little while. My truck is still not starting, and I had a meeting today so I couldn't get it to the shop. I'll have to dig up a trailer and at least get over to the SF track for a little while.

This friday is my birthday, and I really want to go to the dunes. Can you go? It's so hot I think the best riding will be friday night from like 7 o'clock on. And in the morning from like 7 to noon. So I think it will work best if it's an over-nighter.

sam

I will talk to my Wife about it. But it sounds fun.

sam

Hey Mike, My wife said that it would be alright for the dune trip. (I have to check to make sure its really alright though) but I have to be back in time to write a 10 min talk for church. So coming around 11:00 or 12:00 would be ideal for me. I was also wondering who would be attending this trip?

Mike

Awesome! We have Jed, Jim, Me, You, Richard and some of Richards female friends. Should be pretty fun. Natalie might come for the evening on the Grizz, and Joe is coming in the morning.

sam

Mike we should go riding this weekend or something!!

Mike

Can't man. I have a test saturday, and I go on a trip sunday. So I'm going to be mostly studying and packing.

sam

NIce, Its helping me realize that it is almost halloween!!!
