    Billy thank you for the article and the nice plug. Met many of the forum members and made new friends. Helped a lot of people and they helped me when I needed it the most when I took a tumble racing Jason Hall up Test Hill. Pretty sore for a few days but all healed now. "Sanchez" and I were the last two to leave on Monday, eleven wonderful days for me. Already making plans for 2016 if I survive the 3 weeks coming up I spend at Glamis for Thanksgiving.

    Excellent write up. A familiar story to my first experience as an east coaster getting a first taste of some real dunes. My trip was to Oregon coast and riding winchester bay area. What an amazing and memorable trip with some good friends. Cant wait to get back and ride again.

    Not looking real great for this year - I'll try not to jinx myself because every year I said I would be there, I wound up not making it for that span of time...

    I grew up 2 hours away from Glamis and rode there regularly. 2015 Invasion was my first real trip back (other than a quick 2 hour stop while passing through).

    This was a great trip! Hard to believe but I forgot how VAST the dunes are. Just amazing.

    Thanks Billy - great pics!

    Is it a open invitation to all. I'm just finishing a 86 250r and it sounds like fun.
