wow glad to see that this thread didnt turn into a pissing match....and damn i only have non carb approved cans, and you can stick a stick down my silencer (another ticket), i hope that this trip doesnt end up costing more than just gas, food and permit

I never heard of them messing with anybody over spark arrestors. I don't have one on my R.
X2 I HAVE SPARK ARESSTORS ON ABOUT HALF OF MY MACHINES... iu have been checked for plates several times and never a mention about a sparky...
most people who have never riden bowls would look at this and say 40/50 yards ...plenty of time to miss it.....
but they are unaware of the characteristics of a typical dune, its like a wave, with a smooth round side and a sharp wall side, sometime when your on the smooth side you cant see the razor or sharp wall side, plus mix in the fact that you were probably going at a good clip in 4th gear...THEN, maybe the newbs can understand why you almost bailed

Thanks Guys I guess I will gave to pony up the cash to get green stickers for all my rides and take off the current ones that are from Trikes I have bought and sold. I can't imagine this trip will be one without a visit from the BLM
Sobe bottle are now plastic. At least the ones around here are now. I might have a glass one or 2 laying around.

i just use 40 oz beer bottles with a metal screw on lid. some day i am going to make a reusable steel pipe bottle that i can screw on metal lids. would be much safer than the glass. today's glass bottles don't hold up as well as the old ones.
TPC Trikes Are Awesome
Ok GREAT! I was not thrilled about handing over more of my hard earned cash to "THE GOVERNATOR" Guess I will chance it with my free green stickers .At least I ponyed up the $90.00 for a season pass , Oh wait I borrowed one of those from a friend as well . Damm I am CHEAP !
yeah dont get those LEO's started on writing tickets because they can hit you with the DB meter and spark arrestor violation. I am sure that glamis is worse just due to all the goons that they have to deal with, but it is a likely threat
I have never heard of them going after the gas cans though, has that happened to anybody in the group? I cant afford to go and buy all new gas cans and then have to fill em with premium...lol I just aint that rich

noise has never been an issue,, the gas can law has been in effect for a while,, they have started enforcement . in the last year worth of trips we have not been bothered at all, a large group will be fine if we maintain while in the flats... its pretty simple to stay out of the radar..
