Dunnin, JPraptor,Sandcousin,MC,El Duke',C-Diddy,[color=blue][/color]LET'S RIDE!!!! June20.

Regulators? Oh no are you guys laying down some new rules on top of the BLMs :shock:

Sorry, just had to goof on your typo

If you guys do go out let me know....there's a good chance I'll be looking to head out that weekend to test something new.....the Pinto may even be ready for it's first test run (without paint) after the rebuild....but I've got a little something else I'm hoping may go through by then that I think I may have to give a taste of sand to

I here that the group from of Phoenix will be out on that night at oldsmobil with their lights. I am trying to confirm this. If not I should be at gordons if ca riders are allowed?

The buggys still in the trailer from last weeks trip to buttercup. Lets go, count me in.

Dont think Duke can make it though, i hear his new lady has him on a short leash.

damn i forgot to double check to see if anyone felt like going for it.well if you went i hope you had fun.

duke-you have to sand train your girl.

Ok, it's official. New car in my garage and I'm itching to see how it does in the dunes I'm going to try and make it out there next weekend sometime for sure. Still a chance I'll have the motor on the Pinto running by then too but I can only fit one on the trailer at a time

Talked to sand cousin this morning and he's in too.

When do we want to head out? Friday?

Duke - call Hanks & Mcormick

Everyone needs to bring an inter-tube for Saturday's canal float. Sports Authority has them for $5.00.

Hope you have fun.

C-diddy, you up for a ride this weekend?
Probably heading out Friday morning with the Solar Turbines crew. We'll camp close to the canal. Or do you guys want to do Buttercup? The bridge/canal action would be nice!! 8)

i'll have to check and see if i have obligations first but i am having withdrawals for sure.i like the buttercup idea.there is that spot with the tall bush/tree might be nice plus the canal beach is a good idea.my neighbor across the street just got an alba 04 raptor.i'll see if he wants to cruise.his family may get pissed for leaving them behind,but i dont have room for them and they only have 1 bike.someone is gonna get
bored.
since its unlikely my neighbor will go there is the idea of using my trailer with your burb.what do you think?

:beer: Count me in. That is if everything goes O.K.. I'll just have to keep in touch with you guy's.

If not drink and drive one for me. :beer: :X: :beer: :X:

[size=18]O.K. well maybe 2 or 22

:devil: [size=24]LeDemus strikes again ha!!!!

:bounce:Check out that [size=24]FOOL'S MOON ARISEN. :bounce:

Hope to see ya there.

Hey MC and Sandcousin. Any preference as to Gordons or Buttercup? Let me know as we will be heading out early friday. :bounce:

i'm voting "buttercup"and as close to that canal as possible.

anyone want to ride out in the blind van with me i will have the ragin'?

Lets go to Buttercup. We were out last weekend and it was pretty hot. Makes it nice to be able to make a quick ride to the canal.

Bring some inter-tubes (5 buck at sports authority). We'll drive up stream, leave a car and float down.

Jerry have you talked to Bobby? Who else is going out?

Cripe-
I'm out! I have to work! What's new :cry:! Have fun!

I'm hoping to hit Buttercup friday or saturday evening for a few hours...if I can find someone to ride out with me. If you guys are going to be at Buttercup for sure let me know and I may come out even if I can't find someone to go along with me.

I'm dying to see how this Manx does - I'm still waiting on plates so I can't drive it on the street yet so the dunes are my best chance to put some miles on it and shake it down. I won't be doing much serious duning but mainly driving it around in the flats and small dunes to get a feel for it....and then if I like it we'll see about the real dunes

come on out jhitesma.we are always up for meeting fellow duners.we will be out there friday morning for some and friday evening for others.look for bigdaddysd with a black suburban w/ a30 ft ww.i will be out in the evening with a budgetblinds van (cant miss it) towing a ragin'

COME ON OUT HMMPH

Jason, come on out. It'll be cool to meet you finally. If the manx isn't ready for the dunes yet, there will probably be a seat open in one of the 4seaters that are coming definitely going to buttercup.
Hope to see you there :beer: :beer:

Bigdaddy have ya heard from J.P. === Hows he feelin?

I got a itch thats rarin to be scratched. Give me a call if you hear anything. :beer:

We should be scratchin that itch by10:00am or so friday morning. :bounce: JP and I were thinking about playing a prank on Russ by leaving a voice message that we couldn't wait to go and for him to meet us out there in the Z. :wink: That is if judge joe brown doesn't bend him over too hard :twisted:
Hey Mark, what time you guys headin out?

Why don't you all kiss my ass :.(. Wish I was going!

What a great warm-up for my weekend

You guys are great - thanks for the encouragement on the Manx and help with some lights so I could see my trailer loading up tongiht!

Can't wait for tomorrow. Finish putting the Pinto together in the morning - then about 5 head on out for some more sand - and this time I may even toss the paddles on the Manx and actually get out of the flats now that the motor is starting to wake up

Hey Jason what happened to you on Saturday. The night ride we took about 6 was incredible :mrgreen: . You should have been there. Maybe next time.

Well, here's to another great trip on the sand :beer: . Too bad it was so crowded. Ha!!!!!! :mrgreen:

I really wanted to come back out saturday but got tied up with work stuff and wasn't able to pull it off like I had planned

However my girlfriends mother ended up making it into Yuma saturday as well and has been dying for a ride in the dunes. So I went back out today and had a good couple of hours in the late afternoon Other than some leftover firewood (that I helped myself to) there was no sign of your camp left so I didn't get to say hey to you guys again.

What a great weekend for dunes though! Getting to see buttercup in the daylight today was spectacular. I love taking first timers out in the summer since the dunes are so ripply and smooth!

It was soft though! I found out that I can't put my paddles on the Manx - the manx studs are too small and have special collared lug nuts to fit the centerlines that didn't fit my douglas rims for the paddles - and without them the rims were too loose on the studs. So I just had to make due with 5psi in my street tires.

The Manx did great today - found out that the temp guage is working I just wasn't even warming up Friday night After a good trip out to the valley and some playing on the side of the hill I crept up to 180 and stayed there the rest of the day. It was kind of hard to start the motor when warm but other than that I had a great day. The Manx suspension is WAY smoother than my rail. A couple of times I'd tell my passenger to hang on thinking I'd bottom out (since it would be something my rail would always bottom out on) but we'd just float right over it! I gotta figure out what's wrong with the rail suspension for sure now.

Will have some photos soon, just gotta reboot my computer because it's barely hanging on right now and I can't even get to my card reader!

Got the photos up. Don't know if you GW guys have seen it or not...or if I even remembered to mention it Friday night but I help run a site called YumaDuners.com that's mainly dedicated to Buttercup and Gordons. We have Duner Diners on a regular basis (second tuesday of every month in yuma and final friday of every month usually at Buttercup or Gordons.)

Anway the reason I mention it is that's where I put the photos

Just click the Manx for a few shots of the fun I had today:

Well guys, the trip was fantastic! Mother nature cut us some slack and turned down the heat for the weekend. I don't think the temp. got over 100. The dunes were sweet!.

The ride on Saturday night was awsome. It was nice having Glenn lead so I could fully enjoy the ride. I didn't want it to end.

Jason. It was cool to meet you. It's too bad you couldn't make it back out Sat. night for the ride. After you left I wondered about the temp gage. I kinda thought it might not be getting hot enough to register. Oh well. You got it figured out.
Hope you can make it out with us again some time. The manx is sweet. If you ever want to onload it let me know. Maybe next time we'll get to see the Pinto beans

MC and Sandcousin. Thanks for the offer for lunch on Sat. Next time I'll be ready for sure :bandit:

To all you guys who couldn't make it: [color=red][/color]

I forgot to mention I found out where BigDaddy got his name! I think I still have a stiff neck from looking up to say hi to him

I'll definately hook up with you guys again sometime. Didn't get the work I wanted to done on the Pinto this weekend but it will be running by October no matter what. Oh and did I mention that it actually is an official old school "Pinto Beans" adapter I've got on it That buggy and motor where around for a long time before I got them!

Jason thats yours? Its looks nice I cant wait to get my grandmother out in my truck. Its almost done and she has been asking me to take her out to the dunes. She is only 89.

yep-
it was a fun weekend and i'm glad we had the weather on our side.smooth dunes,fish bitin',good grub etc..damn i'm bummed it's over.
well it was nice meeting new crazy duners as well.so all you wussies that thought it was going to be too hot missed out.





[size=24][/size]got slappy? not sure yet!

The night ride rocked :hot: , except for a few WITCHES EYES >:< The night ride rocked a little too much :beer: for those who missed the two Sunday morning rides. I lead/dune much better when I can see where I'm going. :rollsmile:

Dune on!!!!!!!!!!
