Nope, looks too exclusive for me. I don't have an orange bike...

Re: Highlands Park Motorcycle Resort, Georgia

I don't have enough money in the budget to send my bike to a resort

A true middle-ground bike to bridge the gap between high-strung 250cc 4-strokes and overbearing 450cc thumpers. The 2010 FE 390 is unlike any other bike on the market. Fuel Injected, electric start. $500 damage deposit. $159/day + tax.

Husaberg FX450
Razor-sharp handling and ultra smooth motor make it very easy to ride in tight, technical conditions. These characteristics make it a great trail bike! Fuel injected, electric start. $500 damage deposit. $159/day + tax

Re: Highlands Park Motorcycle Resort, Georgia

Shirley and I pulled in there when we were on our BRP ride a couple of years ago. I wanted to talk to them about doing a head mod on my 200. Had a great conversation with a couple of the people working there. As for riding, we did not unload. Not a place for the 690 and Shirley was not going to let me out on her pristine 530! It is you basic red Georgia clay. Slick when wet, and hard any other time. But looking at the trails just around the camp ground looked like fun X10!
If you go, take pictures and bring us a report!
Here's a great Video! Sam

Oh, one more thing, take your GPS, cause it's out in the Boondocks. You will think you at the end of the most rural road in Georgia and there it is. Sam

Re: Highland Park Motorcycle Resort, Georgia July 5th, 6th

Georgia in July. It's gonna be hot. About like Houston I think. But the trails will be great, if not too much moisture finds you. Georgia clay gets slick.
Have fun! Keep us updated. Sam
