For 1 guy its probably not even close, but I can't get out by myself ever so for me the time driving down there and what little more its costs isn't a huge issue, and like I said before the awesomeness of Harlan makes up for it. The difference in fuel is because a trip to haspin is through towns and country roads, therefore a lot of starts and stops to suck up diesel, Harlan I just hop on 75 and go. The old 12 valve sipped fuel on the interstate.

I'm not trying to argue, I like haspin better than most people on this site, just putting in my 2 pennys.

Only $10.00 more a year to make Harlan better than what it is now ?? Hell I would give em $20.00... Harlan is Awesome and my favorite place to wheel, glad to hear of work being put into a park to make it a better place with more trails/ obstacles coming soon.

monkeystrong · 01-11-2014, 05:43 PM

Justifying our own personal perspectives on the microeconomics of wheeling is completely speculative from one person to the other purely because of the personal value that we place on our time versus return on our money spent.

For me its about content, friends, and getting away.

A drive to Haspin costs me $50 in fuel vrs $230 to Harlan. I would still choose Harlan every time. $10 bucks ain't chit...

Most people think that the backbone is the toughest haspin has to offer. This is the problem. Quit riding the main trails and conquer some land.

I have to be with humpy on this one! didn't know haspin had any hard trails. nothing but a bunch of mud if it happens to rain! if you think haspin is hard maybe you ought not even go to Harlan.

My point exactly lol it's hr and a half drive to haspin for us and I won't even get outta bed for it... I'll go to Harlan every time... We have places 15 minutes from the house that are more challenging than haspin... Everything I saw at haspin, and we covered from fencerow to fencerow that we could find , would b hard for a street driven rig on 35s or smaller...

That or the creek out of the backbone since the hard rain could put the hurt on a 42" tire buggy or smaller. Clay hill backwards could be fun! Harlan definitely has some tougher climbs no doubt.

This thread is hilarious! I see a lot of **** talking that needs to be settled on trail!

93 Krawler · 01-12-2014, 09:24 PM

If Harlan could take a dump, it would chit out Haspin... The only thing hard about Haspin is getting 20 bucks out of my wallet to give to them....
