April 25, 2009 Southern Harbor ATV Run: (14 Photos)
14. This week I finally received all my parts for Project Foreman and I managed to get the bike back together just in the nick of time for a weekend rip. I had ordered and installed a new Front Disc Brake Upgrade kit to replace the worn out drum brakes, and made some minor repairs including a new CV joint boot and a front wheel bearing.
13. Friday evening Sandra and I loaded up and headed out over the highway to her mom's house in Southern Harbor for my first ATV run of the year. I was doubly excited as young Joe just picked up a 2003 Yamaha Banshee earlier that day so a great weekend lay ahead!
12. Saturday morning Terry, Captain H, Joe and I left the house and headed West on the old railway track towards Goobies stopping here and there to check out a few side trails. We didn't really have a destination or a plan, we were just enjoying the absolutely beautiful weather and the ride.

10. There are lots of scenic places to visit all throughout this area, for example the river delta in Come by Chance is a great spot to stop for a cook up.
9. Joe's Banshee was working great the only downside is that the Banshee has a small gas tank so you have to carry extra fuel to get the same range as the other machines. It's certainly not hard on fuel, and it's pretty damn quick too!!!

6. We ended our trip with another run down to the Old Mine & Beach in LaManche Placentia Bay meeting up with Scotty along the way.
5. This is one of my favorite stops in this area, a place with unbelievable scenery, neat history coupled with some interesting challenges for ATV's getting to and from the beach.

1. My newly installed disc brake kit was working great getting better and better all day as the new pads broke in the stopping power increased. All in all it was a fantastic run on the bikes!
Cheers, MIKE
