Imperial Invasion Head Count!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ATC-Eric]

Listen up boys and girls, this is the official Imperial Invasion 2011 Gordons Well Roll Call!!!!!!!!!!!


This thread is for SERIOUS PARTICIPANTS ONLY! Corey Sprock and I will be setting the official date later this week. Right now I need to know who is coming with us so I can come up with an accurate cost for everyone. Corey, Mr. Crum, and I as well as a few other brave souls spend a lot of time, and put a lot of effort, and money into this trip; so I need to know only those who are serious.

The date will more then likely be the end of February, into the beginning of March. The dealer show we will be attending in Indiana at the end of February will be the start of our adventure. From there we will be splitting off. Corey heads for Michigan, and I will most likely head further east both picking up your bikes. After the trip I will be bringing machines back east within a few weeks of the trip. So if we are transporting machines for you, they will be in my custody for up to one month from pick-up, to Cali, all the way to back home. I also frequent Pensacola Florida a few times a year. I can schedule a trip close to March to pick up bikes from down south if I get interest.

At this point Im thinking with the amount of interest we have had, we can keep the cost to around $400-500 per person depending on the volume of people. This does not include air fair. This cost will also go down with the more people that sign up. This cost WILL include:

-Safe transport of your machines to and from
-All the food you can eat
-All the fuel you can burn through your machine (93 octane)
-Shuttle from the airport in Yuma to the dunes, and back
-A Moderately stocked bar with a choice of beer and cocktails

Air Fare will range anywhere from $150-$300ish depending on how far in advance you book your flight. Everyone flying in will be responsible for booking their own flight. We should have anywhere around 4-5 open seats between the trucks. Anyone who wishes to ride with us is more then welcome to meet us in Missouri, or along the way.



Once we get a headcount, and I can come up with an accurate price for what it will cost per person, I will be requiring a non refundable deposit (refundable only on cancellation of trip) to save your place on this ride. I only say this for the possible drop outs. If I come up with a price, and have 3 people back out, that extra money comes straight out of our pocket. The last trip Corey spent in excess of $3,000 of his own money due to short falls. The deposit will help to soften the blow if I have someone promise me, and drop out. If I have everyone promised in at $500 per person, and 3 people say Im not going, that would end up costing me out of my pocket $1500. If we have to many people drop out, the price shortage would have to be spread amongst the remaining group.

We try to keep it as cheap as possible, and do not overcharge anyone for anything. If there is extra money at the end of the trip, the funds will be evenly redistributed to all participants.

This trip is extreme. I will be spending 7 days, and logging over 6000 miles on my truck for this trip. We put ourselves through absolute hell for this. Some may say the cost is to much, or the circumstances are ridiculous. I can guarantee you one thing, you will not second guess yourselves when you are staring at this come March:

Please post if you wish to attend, where you live, and what bike/bikes we are going to be retrieving.........

[Bryan Raffa]

Yes me.. and one trike..:w00t::w00t:

[ATC-Eric]

Sweet! Love a quick response. We're gonna have to work out a "trike railroad" so to speak. Dont really like the idea of driving all the way to New york. If we can get your bikes further South it would rock.

[Billy Golightly]

I'm there!

[Jason Hall]

Sandy and I are In for sure! I have extra machine's If needed!!!

[zmpolaristech]

Amanda and I will be there too. I'll be needin 3 bikes (maybe 2... not sure yet) picked up at icefest. :naughty:

[djberg]

1. eric you will be at icefest.

2. need a price for a photographer.

thanks dj and there is no debating number 1

[ATC-Eric]

Ah you guys are horrible! When is icefest? I see Icefest is set for the 19-21.......... That is the weekend for the dealer show this year. May work out perfectly. I can hit the dealer show, then hit the tail end of icefest!

hmmmmmmmmmmmm My truck is going to hate me. Coast to coast to coast in 3 weeks......

[mymint87]

Thanks for doing this again Eric, Thanks to Corey and gary too

little something special this year...There will be a showing of a honda produced movie to coincide with the release of the 81 250R.....run time is about 30 minutes with an insite to how it was in the hardtail days leading up to the first race ready full suspension trike...it has an "On any Sunday" flair to it with a sneak peak at Sundahls 350x prototype....

I hope everyone enjoys HONDA's "3 Wheels and a cloud of dust"

along with it are some 125cc 2 stroke races, ATC commercials (including a fat cat commercial) and a tri-cross event at Riverside in 1985 where the open class speeds in front of 30,000 spectators will blow your mind

[ATC-Eric]

We'll have to work out a projection system on the side of a hauler!!!

[KASEY]

i'll bring the popcorn!!

[Xpress]

Hmm, I don't see a reason why I won't be there :D

[ATC-Eric]

[mymint87]

Hey guys I live in Southern California and I am about 4 hours from Gordons Wells and I want to come on this trip!! Is there anything I can do from here to help out??
some wood would be nice....no pallets

[Billy Golightly]

I'd figure you west coasters would have by now figured out a way to make that sand burn so you wouldn't have to haul wood in :lol:

[ATC-Eric]

LMAO True story, in 09 the sand WAS burning better then our campfire lol It was Mr. Glens fault.


And Rich, Ill see you there!

[mymint87]

I'd figure you west coasters would have by now figured out a way to make that sand burn so you wouldn't have to haul wood in :lol:

this time its out to the dunes and writing 3WW in big letters on the side of a razor for a flamingly ghey photo op:naughty:

[ATC-Eric]

this time its out to the dunes and writing 3WW in big letters on the side of a razor for a flamingly ghey photo op:naughty:

We can come up with something better then that. This is not a 3WW ride, nor a .org ride. This is a freakin INVASION!!!!!!!!!

[bigbadktm]

i should be there, a local too, but I am as far out as xpress. used to go to gordons and glamis a couple of trips every other month or so, good times

[seadoo650]

Eric, please talk to me about this at sandpuppies. I really wanna go!!!

Same here Eric. Need more info and a more solid date. I'm sure I can save the coin but cannot commit 100% yet. Also, my place would be a perfect pick up point in Ohio for all the trikes. Plenty of room in the garage to store them till pickup and a spot big enough to get the trailer in.

[Bryan Raffa]

Raffa, I should be able to attend icefest and haul your trike to Ohio. Lots of time to work that out.

:beer:beer Excellent!;)

[mymint87]

Yeah i might go, and where ever i go...... thats the place to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ooooohhh dude:lol::lol:......it's going to be so fresh to bump around camp tossing grape sodas with you:lol::lol:


and believe me, you'll have a hard time keeping up cuz i can slam a grape soda sooo fast my eyes bleed


hopefully you can make it duner

[mymint87]

We can come up with something better then that. This is not a 3WW ride, nor a .org ride. This is a freakin INVASION!!!!!!!!!

well after being pounded by a "West Coast people suck" ride...I tend to favor..."IMPLANT Invasion"....after all, with the exception of a few locals, guess who that refers to....LMAO

[KASEY]

Eric, please talk to me about this at sandpuppies. I really wanna go!!!

if it is at all possible,,,,,,,,, you won't EVER forget it!!!

[KASEY]

Same here Eric. Need more info and a more solid date. I'm sure I can save the coin but cannot commit 100% yet. Also, my place would be a perfect pick up point in Ohio for all the trikes. Plenty of room in the garage to store them till pickup and a spot big enough to get the trailer in.

yesss this is getting better everyday....

[mymint87]

MEMO to implants

If you officially want to become a duner

FEEL FREE adapt to our 2 seasons that we live by.....

DEZ SEASON....during fall/winter/spring where we may go dune riding up to dozen or so times

BEACH/RIVER SEASON....during late spring/summer where we sit around trikeless and talk about how much of a HARDCORE DUNER we are


:lol::lol::postwhore:postwhore:banned::banned::lol ::lol:

[Bryan Raffa]

[mymint87]

Minty,,, you gonna have the Nickelson done?

[mymint87]

[Xowner]

[RapidRick]

[zmpolaristech]

Eric, if your not gonna be at icefest, i am really gonna need some dates soon to give you a definate yes.:wondering

[Xpress]

How many of us are going to be bringing 200X's out? Or should I get a 250r for it?

Never ridden on pure sand before, so I have no idea what to expect... (other than to bring paddles :D)

[RapidRick]

Alot of roost :twisted:

[KeepItOn3]

Xpress - How many of us are going to be bringing 200X's out? Or should I get a 250r for it?

Never ridden on pure sand before, so I have no idea what to expect... (other than to bring paddles )

I have ridden Glamis for about 15 years now and I would say that if you want to go and have fun and keep with everyone, the 250R is the way too go. I have extra sets of paddles that I will bringing as well. I cant wait for this ride man you guys that have never been are going so amazed!! I cannot even begin to explain to you how much fun and how beautiful it is out there!!

[ATC-Eric]

Loving the enthusiasm in here. So far we are looking at a possible 23 people in our group! This means lower prices.

Keep it coming! Spread the word!

so should I book my own flight.. I could fly into Az again and ride out with Kasey , if that ok with him ,, and makes it easyer on you guys.. I know you guys were running alot...

[bigbadktm]

xpress- you wont regret getting a 250r there are a few air cooled ones on craigslist right now for under $500. You are gonna want the extra power to make it up some of the dunes, it sucks having to take a different line to get to the same place. the dunes need power. once you get out there, you are gonna love it, it is FUN.

[ATC-Eric]

so should I book my own flight.. I could fly into Az again and ride out with Kasey , if that ok with him ,, and makes it easyer on you guys.. I know you guys were running alot...

Yes everyone will be responsible for booking their own flights. We will gets some times together for when you should aim to be in.

Yuma is the preferred destination. I do not look to make the long haul to San Diego this year again. 5 hours in the truck running people back to San Diego, hook straight up to the trailer when we got back, and haul allllllllll the way back home. We have 7 months to work all the small details out.


Stay tuned for exact dates everyone.

[KASEY]

if your a good rider ,,, a 200x can be fun.. i would not even worry about trying to KEEP UP .... there will be a group you will find to ride with .... we have 30+ year vetran sand rats that you will never keep up with... so worry about having a good running machine in good condition so you won't be broke down and missing the riding....

AND TO THOSE WHO THINK THEY ARE FAST,,,, PLEASE BRING YOUR BIG BOY PANTS, YOU WILL NEED THEM!!!!

[3wheeler365]

I'll be there again. longer than just a day trip this time. I plan on having a couple t-shirts made with IMPERIAL INVASION 2011 on them. After all, i did come up with the catch phrase for this big ride. any way, count me in, and Eric, what's up with the gen 1 tecate cool heads? tried calling you a couple times to see if you had some. I want to get one while I have my engine tore apart. and tell corey he still owes me some crank bearings (lol).

[KeepItOn3]

ok Kasey just picked up my big boy pants Im ready now

[Xpress]

I don't think my 200X will have much trouble keeping up, it's got quite a bit of power over a stock 200...

(not that I won't buy a 250r :p )

[sandpuppi101]

I need to figure out the date's especially if it's gonna be around the same time as the dealer show but pencil Sandpuppi in with my 600X and put down Joedirt also with 1 machine.We'll work out the detail's at the ride if that's ok..FYI people this is some of the sickest riding i've ever done in my life with some of the coolest people i've ever met..

[dcreel]

The wife and I are planning to make this trip, we'll be driving down with the toys. Thinking about trying to rent a Toy Hauler in Yuma for the week. We'll have to see about that. I'm stoked. It's been almost 20 years since I've ridden at Glamis. I've been telling the wife about the dunes there for 4 years. I'm excited for her too.

You guys are really making me want to go. Is it a week long trip? Are we camping? Actual Date? If that info is in the thread I missed it.

[ATC-Eric]

It is a weeklong trip. The date is roughly set at the 27th of Febuary, through the 7th of March. Anyone can set their flights however they please. There will be a few campers, as well as straight camping in a tent. Hit it up Stud!

[NINJA]

Pretty sure I'm going to this one.

[ATC-Eric]

Be cool to finally meet the Ninja....

[ATC-Eric]

Hey guys, here it is, set in stone.

Plan to arrive the 1st of March (Tuesday) and depart the 6th of March (Sunday).

I will be there late Sunday, Monday at the latest. I am looking to have at least 24 hours of grace time just in case I have any sort of trouble on the road. If I break down, it will leave enough time to get another truck coming down the road to finish the job. I will not promise that I can accommodate anyone earlier then Tuesday. If you want to come on Monday, you will need to make arrangements with a local for pickup, and stay.

You will need to fly into Yuma Arizona. I am not making the trip to San Diego this year, 6 hours there and back is to much between the 30+ hour drive from Missouri. Yuma is just 20 short minutes from party time!

Please post, or call with any questions, suggestions, or comments.


Thanks guys!

[Xpress]

Yuma is only about 3 hours from San Diego, and that's driving at the 55mph trailer speed. A 6 hour trip is going out to Mesa Arizona.

[RapidRick]

Dunes to San Diego, San Diego to Dunes = Round trip (the six hours he's referring to)

He's already driven from Missouri to get to the dunes

[thestud25]

Well Officially count me OUT. My work will not let me off that week!!! Again, have to miss another great trip!!

[Bryan Raffa]

Confirmed . flyin into AZ to Kaseys again.. gonna ride In with him and ride out with him.. So eric you dont have to worry about me at the airport!.. just my bike!. whats for Dinner??? LOL thanks Kasey... you shure made it feel comfortable already.. and i know what to pack!..;)

kasey let me know dates .. I can do a day early and a day later also .. I wanna help ya load and unload.. and chill in that pool with the waterfall on!

[3Razors]

A little help for anyone that is flying to Yuma (YUM). The 2 airlines that are most likely to take you there are UNITED and US AIRWAYS, Continental I believe might have a codeshare through UNITED now though. If you fly on United you will have to connect through Los Angeles, Ca, If you fly on US Airways you will connect through Phoenix, az. Connecting through phoenix will be shorter flight time, and you should have more options as US Airways has the most flights to yuma. HTH

[Bryan Raffa]

I had codeshare through continental,, and it was really stressful flyin for the first time .. I kept tellin them IM FLYIN CONTINENTAL!!!....... THEY WOULD SHOVE ME ON A UNITED.. was real nervous,, thinkin I was in the wrong plane...:lol::lol::lol::lol:

[wild200x]

are Rob and Tammy commin this time?? (Mosher's)

i will probably be there this time. was hoping to meet the ppl who made my seat..cant wait to meet the rest of ya too!

[Enigma]

Oh how I wish I could make it to this. Too see 20+ trikes snaking through the dunes what a sight to see. Hopefully by the 2013 Invasion I will be back in the states.

[atc400x]

Cool to see you wandering around over here!

Hard to tell at the moment.
Having 2 young kids makes planning a little hard for us, and Sprock hates the fact that we wont know unitil about 45 days before the ride.:lol:
If we do go, I would LOVE to get my own 250R out there,and meet some new westcoasters as well.
Last year, those on that side of the country that did come out, were VERY cool to meet..And I missed my "snuggle time" with the Mintiest of all.:D
Unfortunately, I only got to say about 6 words to the guy, and for him that was probably enough to last him a life time.:lol:
I dont think he liked me...:(..I guess next year I can bring the "over the shoulder boulder holder" and that would help break the ice?
Maybe shine the "Mutt" with a Ohio Tube Top from one of our finest specimens??:lol:

But either way, to all those that go, it is DEFINATELY an experience.
The Dunes feel.....Uhmmm Wierd.:wondering Especially to us mudhog rock hoppers over here..
We are not used to "That feeling" of the ground sliding out from under you..:wondering
Hopefully we can get back again this year.

[mymint87]

dude...I just choked on my taco reading that you think that......dont even go there.....I enjoyed every goof and take you had on members that night around the campfire...never anything bad about anyone, but something funny as heck about everyone...I even think you goofed on me comparing me to one of your friends and dissing my burrito......LOL....the only reason YALL got one burrito is cuz your tummies were full from OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE...It was my intention that I buy you all a plate, but since you had already stuffed your grill ..... i figured you could all at least share a bite, just for the taste......freaking I think atc-eric and tim hammered on that burrito the next day....i wouldn't of hillshot with ya or warmed yer arse by the fire if I was sick of your shyte.........LOL.......I concider you a friend forever

remember when we stopped and got wood....i started loading the pallet one stick at a time in the bed of the truck and you moofing hillbillies said "let's just hulk up the whole pallet at once"... you guys freaking slammed it in there and before I knew it you trikers were on the freeway onramp.......off to the sand

[Bryan Raffa]

I was just talking about the hot coals under our buns to my neighbor the other day. THAT was a neat trick. Wish we could do that here, but we would start a forest fire:(


:lol::lol: wish that vidio of the plastic snake under Billys chair would pop up:lol::lol:

Hmm, I will look for it. It's kinda dark but still funny as hell.

And what the hell is a tree? Is it like a palm tree???

[mymint87]

Glamy you must give the implants a break....especially the missing link between back in the day and the present..... known as the Raffanator..... For he has to live with knowledge he cant describe to his neighbor.....hauling arse up to the tip of the skies, then back down to the bottomless pits of the bowls.....you know they all must think he's lost his marbles from sand on the brain

Hey Guys just wondering what I need to ride out there reg.? flag? I would be bringing my 250r. Is a knobby up front fine for sand? I have a set of the maxxis 4 snow will they get the job done? Also where would I have to bring the trike to get loaded on? I am really looking forward to this.

[rasorroad250r]

You need a flag, you can buy a temporary Ca permit which you will also need. The 4 snow tires would be fine in my opinion. I believe the permits are available online but not sure where.

You can count me in. I live in Casa Grade AZ so I will be bringing my self to the dunes. I have been to Buttercup and Glamis alot but never to Gorden Wells so I will be lost there. :) My 84 T3 should be ready for the dunes by then. If not I'll take my 86 Banshee. I'm also thinking about taking my sandrail. Anyone else taking a sandrail?

Bring what ya got or is there a fuel source out there??theres a gas station about 30 minutes away via freeway....but plan on being fully self contained with every you think you'll need....there is a cafe/small store with limited parts, supplies/bar about 20mins away by trike

[Xpress]

Looks like a good reason to buy a handful of 20 gallon jugs :naughty:

Who is bringing their 84 T3?

[KASEY]

LAST YEAR. i burnt 40 gallons.. that was 6 days worth of riding on 4 different machines,,,

[Zane]

Just a reminder for the first timers to the sand dunes. Make sure your bikes are running the correct size Outerwear Pre-Filters. I always run K&N with the Outerwears. This really helps to keep the sand off your air filter.

no way,,,same old plastic since 07.. give me a reason to buy new...:twisted:......:crazy:

[RideRed250R]

it looks like I am all locked in and ready to rock, I recommend no less then 40 gallons if you own a two stroke for fuel. I know I have to bring 55 to make it 6 days. and that means I have to have 3 1 liter Super M bottles as well....

I am so stoked though!!

[Xpress]

I think I will be out with a 2 smoker and 2, 4 pokers, so I'm thinking I would be fine with 40 gallons, 20 mixed, 20 regular. I only plan on being out 2-3 days tops, 5 days at any place away from home and I start to get back pains and crap.

I count 24 of us, and yes, flags are needed at Gordons.

Kintore - this guy will leave you like a panting dog after a 20 mile dead sprint run. I am unsure how exactly he does it - but it is so hard to keep up with him on a fast ride - and I am putting $100 on saying he is not riding at his full potential so as not to lose any of his implants. Wait - that did not sound right - so as not to lose any of us from the East!

:postwhore:postwhore:postwhore
I'm bumping in on wednesday.....which ever implant is there first better set up a BIG circle.......not like that rookie newby chyte like last year....I alone will need 70 ft for my scud...if you say 50 ft average for each invading implant...and figure at least 10 scuds....thats 500 linear feet already....GET IT!!!

In addition, set up around a kiddie berm track, dont make me hold your hands so listen, position your scud about 70 to 100 feet away, that way we can encompass a playground for the 70 freaks for campsite entertainment

[RapidRick]

Don't you mean the circumference of the circle should be 500" :rolleyes::naughty:

Lineal implies a line :idea: you're really going to get them confused. :D

[KASEY]

ok so figure out how many feet you want between reference point A and point D then from point D to point D1 and then back to point A . we will have VEGAS250RR come in with his GPS and set all the weigh points along with hubs at all the intersecting reference points in between. that way he will have no confusion when the haulers begin to arrive. as for saved spots i am not going to allow sectioned off couridors for certian individuals . if you find a problem in my methods please advise ...

http://www.tutornext.com/system/files/u22/tangent7_0.png

[bigbadktm]

aside from the parking issue, i am travelling out solo so I am not going to know anybody and hope that I make some new friends and riding buddies...

so all of us local guys should get together before the invasion for a meet and greet, sound good?

[mymint87]

Don't you mean the circumference of the circle should be 500" :rolleyes::naughty:

Lineal implies a line :idea: you're really going to get them confused. :D


yes...i figure at least 500 ft in circumference, and also take note that winds predominately blow in a southern direction so prime spots would generally be on the northern egde of the circle......in addition, the circle needs to be surrounding a existing berm track for 70 fun

[mymint87]

:postwhore:postwhore:postwhore

. as for saved spots i am not going to allow sectioned off couridors for certian individuals . if you find a problem in my methods please advise ...


its gunna be one circle, I dont care where I park in that circle.........I just want the room........and even if it only turns out to be a half circle, at least we have room for everyone, as of right now, i have no idea how many skuds will show, but lets be prepared to accept them....better that way than the effed up chyte that happened last year....i still have a scar from that one.....and whos to say if you roll down that same road it wont happen again, maybe even with worse results...dont you care about safety?


I have no problem in peeps wanting spots left open so there friends can park next to em....after all, its an open desert,

its Cory, Eric, and Gary's ride, they put in the work, as a local, familiar with the area, I will continue to guide them, advise them and support them to make this ride special than the rest, this is a ride that brought 2 sites together, and I have met many special friends here at 3WW, it was good to see us all as one group and that will continue

I have a problem with your method for many reasons some of which I have already mentioned....... my advice is, Im sorry for you richard, and I will do my best to comfort you while your there, but in the end...... thats your burden.......Don't undermine a good thing for selfish reasons

[mymint87]

I didn't see a particular problem with the way we were all parked last time :) thats because you never experienced a large circle around a berm track, the ultimate in campsite fun........the dunes take care of themselves, where we can improve is a camp that benefits everyone with round the clock camp racing no matter what size the trike.....but lets face it....70's are the ultimate in ragen runts

[Bryan Raffa]

Ya thats pretty mutch how it went down.. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[atc400x]

well i say it wasnt that bad last year. yes a little tight but someone would have to risk a lot to go in that circle to take any thing. we have done this twice and so far nothing stolen, so even tho we my not live there and go there all the time im gonna say the tight circle thing works. it also i belive makes it where poeple are more apt to interact with each other and get to know every one in stead of hanging out with there own group like tf is as a whole. in close i have to say kasey what is the punishment? ha ha and the parking dosent matter to me so much as knowing we are going to get together and ride some awsome 3 wheeled heven sent machines. lets just make the best of it and have fun. .

[Bryan Raffa]

Ya ,, tight Circle.... like last year ,, but without the BUSH in the middle:lol: more room for firewood!!! it got cold at night ,,I will be prepaird this year.. still only two carry on's and a helmet..:D Is there a flat rate on a piece of wood? Ill start shippin out wood now Who cand handle a face chord in the mail? :lol:

[fmnrd]

Count me in.Just got back from there over the Thanksgiving Holiday .There has been mention of bringin 200x's out to Gordons .Yes they will go through the Dunes but to enjoy the Dunes to the fullest extent you will want to be aboard a 250cc 2 stroke with paddle tires ,anything less is almost a waste of time .I will bring some extra trikes and try and put some extra paddle tire sets together .Will also load up the truck with fire wood .Gordons Well is the perfect location for this Event .Not only some of the best Dunes in the world but here are a few other close by hot spots that may be of interest to some of you .Mexico is a stones throw away .The group I ride with has made to drive over to the boarder walked through to a little town had lunch and a few bewsky's .Good times but you will now need a passport to get across (Thanks Bin Ladin ) .About 20 Minutes from Gordon's well are some Natural Hot Spngs Nice place to relax after a day of riding best of all it is FREE. Lastly a trip to Gordon's Well would not be complete with a ride to Duners Diner . Great place for luch and to hang out and BS. They have a large patio area with a bar that seats probably 200 people .If any of you other Locals have any other ideas on things to do or see while in Gordon's please share .Frank

[fmnrd]

True mm87 but I think blog area where we have been reading about damit's sponsors for the past 2 months would be a great spot to highlight the Invasion. You make a good point about the other 3w sites .I will email Saul over at airfoolers and see if he can do some promoting there as well . btw : missed you Thanksgiving out at the Well , looked a few times out at the flats but did not spot your ride.Dide see aout 5 trikes which was nice to see .

[mymint87]

theres a new POI out at gordons...we need a group pick OF AS MANY TRIKERS AS WE CAN GET OUT THERE, I'll have my 4 seater dune buggy to take people if we lack individual rides:postwhore:postwhore:postwhore:postwhore


its in the valley to the east between the third and fourth set of dunes


its obviously been there a while (because you see someone has painted it and maintaining it) but its becoming quite famous real quick

no ones releasing the GPS co-ordinances so it will be a fun thing to find it as a group

[fmnrd]

Ya we found that at Thanksgiving and took a group picture . I can see that thing growing in size and people adding on to it as time passes .Hopefully the BLM (fun police)Do not take it down .The solar lights are a nice touch . Minty how cool would it be to build something similar Invasion Week . Kind of a donation to the Duners from the trike community .

Im down for being at that spot! Just hoping to find a sport trike before I go, if not you gonna have to deal with my 4 wheels and a 2 wheels.

[mymint87]

Ya we found that at Thanksgiving and took a group picture . I can see that thing growing in size and people adding on to it as time passes .Hopefully the BLM (fun police)Do not take it down .The solar lights are a nice touch . Minty how cool would it be to build something similar Invasion Week . Kind of a donation to the Duners from the trike community .

well dont give up the location, all you can say is warmer, colder...LOL


not a bad idea.....maybe a 3wheeler only parking sign....LOL

[fmnrd]

I was thinking more of a old rusted out trike leave out there with some random signage near it .Did you notice how they drove stakes into the grond and secured that bench so it would be tought ot move? could weld some angle Iron to the trike and secure it like that as well . Guys look at the above photos and toss some ideas about this out there . Think it would be a fun project . We have got some creative members throw out some ideas if you are comming or not .

[Kintore]

theres a new POI out at gordons...we need a group pick OF AS MANY TRIKERS AS WE CAN GET OUT THERE, I'll have my 4 seater dune buggy to take people if we lack individual rides:postwhore:postwhore:postwhore:postwhore


its in the valley to the east between the third and fourth set of dunes


its obviously been there a while (because you see someone has painted it and maintaining it) but its becoming quite famous real quick

no ones releasing the GPS co-ordinances so it will be a fun thing to find it as a group



I LOVE treasure hunts!

[Bryan Raffa]

thats cool! I'm In....

[ATC-Eric]

Simpsons did it!

[fmnrd]

Any of you guys comming down for the Invasion going to be needing Paddles tires? If so email what trike you are Riding and I will start putting loaner sets together .Please don't reply if you are just a maybe .

[Xpress]

Oh boy, so cal is getting a good hosing right now.

[Twilight]

11 inches of rain according to one of my growers... yikes!!!

[Xpress]

Should make a new surface on the sand, no?

[Dammit!]

I need a few things for the vids. If anybody could bring this stuff it would be awesome.

Is anybody bringing a black trike and by chance do you have all black riding gear? If so I have a part for you in the vid.

If one of you I-can-build-it types can mock up something that resembles a lightsaber, we need two of them. Specifically the handle part. The "blade" can just be a wooden broom handle that inserts into the handle. Painted red and blue (or green). If you need more info pm me.

1 pair of black binoculars. Don't need to be functional.

1 can of air freshener in a spray can. Don't ask. :lol:

Probably more that I haven't thought of yet.

[Xpress]

I have black binocs...

What about a brown cloak? :lol:

[fmnrd]

Damit ,dont ask me how I stubled on this but a while back on UTUBE I was checking out some "how to" vids and one of them was how to build a light sabor , then the guy goes into the process of how to shoot a video to make them come to life . Anyway being that you are into video making I thought it might be of interest to you

[Xpress]

Here's how you make the handle grip thing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHSVjIUml50

You gotta break out some video manipulation software to add the blade part of it.

:shock: gonna need a cr500 for a trip out there......250 would have to have the snot kicked out of it

[keister]

I will need a set of paddles to borrow. 1985 250R. Thanks for the offer.

[mymint87]

:shock: gonna need a cr500 for a trip out there......250 would have to have the snot kicked out of it

300' is the estimated height of the dune beyond the flat valley....the dunes up close arent that big....maybe 20' to 50' max...... cr250's eat sand up....its all about forward momentum

[NOS_350X]

Ok, yall looks like im coming, got 3-4 guys with me too, maby a couple more. IF all goes at planned, will have my 3 R's and X. along with TPC, and 2 other stockish R's.

You all wana do any somewhat official drags? I have an easly portable Tree, just gota have someone sitting at the finish line. Also how are you east coasters for night rides?

I have a searchlight, Big ass, spinnig, would make finding camp EASY at night.

[ATC-Eric]

Very nice NOS. Love the dunes at night. And for drags, sounds like a plan.

[Xpress]

Sand drags? Sure why not, that would make for some killer photos :naughty:

Also count me in for night riding. Who says the party has to end when the sun goes down?

[fmnrd]

NOS---> damm the only light that brite around here is on top of the LUXOR Hotel in Vegas ! You break out the Tree and us So Cal guys might might have to get Serious lol lol
BTW they set up drags at Dusk Friday and Saturday's at Gordon's ,havent seen a Tree out there yet (Minty you ?) You guys can UTUBE "Gordons well sand drags " to get a idea of what you are in for .

[fmnrd]

I will need a set of paddles to borrow. 1985 250R. Thanks for the offer.

Ok no problem got a set with your name on them

[NOS_350X]

The Luxor, has like 35 of what my lights are. its 35 of these small lights side by side, water cooled, all setup perty nice. When one or 2 or 5 go out nobody notices, they bring someone in to get them fixed, Rather than one big light, if it broke you would instantly know.

If we do some drags you do it somewhere where nobody is, in the middle of the day, if you tryed to set it up during a popular time, we would never get in there to race.

[atctim]

Last year we never did any drag racing - I would love to do some dragging this year!

[fmnrd]

Well the open drags usually start about 4:00pm or (dusk).If we get out in that area about noonish we could set up and do it before the crowds line up .Then if you wanted you leave it set up for the general population you we could match the trikes up against some quads ,buggys , moto's ,rhino's ,ect ,

[mymint87]

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g285/NOS_350x/IMG_7977.jpg...that searchlight is TOOOOO sic, but I dont think it will be used enough to justify hauling it out there...looks like that huge mofo fills the bed and if ya wanna haul its weight, i would prefer that weight be in firewood...hint, hint

[mymint87]

...that searchlight is TOOOOO sic, but I dont think it will be used enough to justify hauling it out there...looks like that huge mofo fills the bed and if ya wanna haul its weight, i would prefer that weight be in firewood...hint, hint

if it were a new to all place without the american and coachella canals to box us in....i would say haul that huge thing....that would be a life saver....I cant tell you how many times Ive been night riding, where buggy tracks turn to quad tracks turn to motorcycle tracks turn to no tracks>>>LOL, wasn't til I learned to read the stars and quit relying on distant glows from cities or prisons or pump stations that i felt secure in riding at night while still expecting to sleep in my own sleeping bag that night vrs sleeping out in the dunes....LOL

[KASEY]

drags happen anytime you get to the hill.. if you set up a tree i am pretty sure LEO will be right there looking for your permit.. there is NO organized racing aloud, unless you have a permit and insurance.. so there is no reason to attract any more attention to us or the event.

[NOS_350X]

Actually you can, you just cant charge. Without the giving the state there cut. Its not really organized. You saw it at rasor, its not much, Ive had it at pismo where the cops are crazy there, but they cant do a thing. It will be fun to find out who the fastest REALLY is.

The light is 2'x2' and about 3' tall. and can be ran off a generator.

[fmnrd]

Good point KASEY
Man I miss the good ol days when there were not so many rules !

[bigbadktm]

i miss having comp hill open at night in glamis, that was wild, but the punks made it worse every year and ruined it....do they shut down test at night in gordons? i havent been there in over 7 years

[KASEY]

the only thing that dies is the drags on the upper level above buggy flats. at dusk it shuts down because of the darkness.. unless it gets out of control. then the leos cut it off.. but test and patten are always open, even on the weekends.

ACTUALLY you can not have any kind of organized racing without a permit and insurance. i don't know how many times you have been to gordons well.. BUT the last thing you want it to attract alot of attention to your group . they randomly do walk thrus at camp.. and i hope EVERY machine and person has all the required paperwork necessary. because i have set and watched several times as they go thru everything . the newest is carb cans .. do you have them? do you know what they are? gas is cheap compared to the fines they hand out,, for the stupidest things . but they can and do,,, these are not scare tactics just a reality in the imperial dunes in the last couple of years,,, its revenue generating not a safety issue. what maybe ok in your little corner of the world won't fly here,,,

you signature is funny..... you said darren owned it on the other site.. but you own it here?

[Twilight]

CARB cans? WTF is that

[Bryan Raffa]

coffie can air box... some redneck mofo from NY runs em LOL!
