    Last I knew Kintore still had trike spots on his trailer. Not sure what he's charging.... or what you consider cost effective - gas prices always factor in. If you are looking for a ballpark figure, I've never paid less than $400 or more than $600 to get my trike from PA to CA.

    They are two separate events all together. They are only a week apart actually.

    there is a facebook page for the imperial invasion. it was started several years ago and its a week long dune adventure, there are several people coming from all over the united states , we camp and ride the dunes for a whole week, we have had from as small as 20 people to over 150,, its a great time , all riders welcome and any machines. . 3 wheeler week is a completely different ride coupled together with a 2 day race put on by calvmx in California, they are having a dune ride after the racing is over . imperial invasion is march 2nd to the 8th .. we moved a little earlier this year as the last 2 years have been warmer than normal,, there is plenty of information about the invasion on here ,

    If I decide to pull the trigger and make this happen, would anybody be interested in renting a camper for the week? They are a little pricey but they will bring it out and set them up.

    I fixed that for you!
    You NEED to make this trip.
    At worst, it will give you a whole new respect for riding 3 wheelers -- at best, a whole new outlook on life.
    We are getting a camper, but ours is already at full capacity - possibly even one person over. ATC Tim will have to confirm that.
    Can't wait to see you in the dunes, Weezy! Best riding ever - hands down.
    This will be my third pilgrimage and we are bringing a few rookies too.

    What I would like to do is find an 86 250r in great running shape to bring home with me. What's everybody got? I know there are some good deals out there.

    sorry but I have been looking for a 85 or 86 for josh ball for over 2 months,, here in my area there are several guys buying up everything to part out on ebay.. so they get every good deal ,, since they do it for a living nothing but jumk lasts for more than a few hours at the most,,,,,, that's why I have been done with 250r's for a long time.... BUT I agree you should get your butt out here just once,,,,,, "no regrets" PROMISE!!!

    What machine will you be riding? Any plans on attending the race in ANZA, if so do you have a machine to race?

    This is a video from 2011. 3/4 of the video is you following me on my 85r with knobs, good times.

    I've got some arrangements to ride a bike there. Getting anything of mine out there from here was looking really complicated and expensive since no one else from this corner of the US was going out.

    I will not be able to stay the following week unless something significant changes, I had to book the flight already. Maybe if I make a lot of money between now and then and hire an in office assistant I might be able to stay another few days



    That ride on that video was great, one of my favorite ones actually. That whole time was an amazing experience being out there, I'll never forget it as long as I'm alive.
