If someone is going on a trip they usually just post a topic in the "Planning a trip?" forum saying "This is where I'm going, this is what you need to bring, this is where we are going to meet. Who's in?".

Sometimes it gets a bit more formal than that if you want to start covering your arse, but that's up to the person organising it. If you want to go that way then you generally start to list the safety equipment that is required, state that they need rated tow hooks, etc, etc.

If you go back on some of the other posts in that forum you will see some examples. But most of the time it's just an informal "come and have a play" type invitation.

P.S. Lets not turn this thread into another argument about how formal/informal it should be the rest of you! If you want to read a lengthy debate about liability, etc look here.

I'd love to help more chicks get out there and do it! They just need to convince their husbands to let them either buy there own or borrow theirs :lol: but yea i've come from gp bikes to dirt bikes to 4x4's I've got 2 young boys to think about, so four wheel driving is a bit safer and they normally come out too, as for the beauty salon, it pays when i break my truck :lol: D4YSPA plates on the 4x4 it's a good look :lol:
