Mud feud: Tucker Rocky's annual ATV retreat visits Hatfield-McCoy trails system
Author: Dealernews

Anyone who wants to play in the mud, follow me," hollered Kevin Bates, our tour guide from Bandit's Ridge Riders, and owner of Bandit the dog. Earlier I asked Kevin to locate a mud splashing photo opportunity and he indubitably delivered.

Prior to the mud bathing, Bandit and Kevin led our group through a portion of the 500 miles comprising the Hatfield- McCoy trails system. The system traverses the valleys and peaks of the Appalachia Mountains where America's most famous family feud ever done took place.

No shrapnel from loose hillbilly gunfire was recorded, but Tucker Rocky product line manager James Cramer did have a row with his machine that ended with a visit to the local infirmary.

Another casualty was Logan Motorcycle Sales, the local dealer who, along with the help of Honda and Suzuki, supplied the 50-plus ATVs being used.

"We never could have done it without them," says TR's Glen Urquhart. "Their store was flooded twice the week before the event, and they never once called and said, 'We ain't coming.' They called with encouragement even though they were standing knee-deep in water in their showroom. They really came through!"

TR used the ride to announce the launch of the QuadBoss Pro-Series. The marketing effort refashions the QuadBoss logo to distinguish sport use from utilitarian.
