If they are going to ride in the Dunes, the 250 won't last, trust me.  But a great compromise is a 350, we have a few in our group on kids under 160lbs, they rock them.  Bigger boys are all on 450's.  We had 22 bikes in our group last weekend, they were fun to watch battling thru the dunes, 3 wide at times.

I agree. My son is 145lbs. I had that 310cc Husky and it did fine in the dunes at 170lbs. We'll see, he's going to have to wind her out to move in the sand for sure.

My son (26) has his first dirt bike, a 250 and was learning how to ride. My Mom's in Rialto was perfect as it is flat mostly, a little rocky here n' there. I ran the RZR behind him. Good times.

Consider yourself lucky.

They fvcked me after my '02 custom Lightning show truck was stolen.  $32k truck + $60k in mods.  Paid out $42k.  Lawyer intervened but didn't help much and they paid his fees.

Others have had positive experiences like y0res after pushing back.  I'm not a lucky man so I chalk it up to that.

Yup totally lucky... thing is I was going to off the SXS's and TH and move (back) into an LS sand car and Moho. I couldn't have gotten this much trying to sell them.. my TH had SEVERE wall sag. 

Yup, State Farm has had my back on several occasions. As mentioned before in this thread, don't take the 'first offer'.. I was lucky as I have stacks of dealer receipts (Del Ammo for the RZR, El Toro RV for the TH).

Was condsidering a lawyer in the begging, but my agent did right by me.

I'll be staying with them.. as long as they don't cancel me.

I'm pretty sure State Farm will pursue the shop as I believe they caused the fire. I just dealt with my insurance so I'm not 100% sure on that.

That's gotta be a big load off your shoulders.

Time to shop!

For sure... my agent is the one that got me the extra dough... pretty big difference $37k vs. $67k.. lesson learned, don't take the first offer.

Congrats.

Lesson here is have good insurance and keep all paperwork, receipts.

 

What's next? Take break and eventually get a LS Sand Car?

That's exactly the plan, but I've promised the bride that I'd off my remaining SXS and toy box, before spending on an LS Sand Car and a motorhome. Market is soft, only offer on my SXS was some crappy land in the desert. .. outskirts of Palmdale... I passed.

Dropped my TH with the RZR in it in a few months back. Rick's RV was fixing the propane system for the fridge when a fire broke out, total loss. Initially insurance offered me $25k for the RZR and $12k for the TH.

Submited my pile of receipts and disputed the payment amouns and now I am getting $40k for the RZR and $17k for the TH.

All in all they did right by me.

Was going to take my Son to my Mom's in Rialto so he can try out the new MX 250 he bought, but had to kill it as my Dually is still in the shop (was going to follow him in the RZR). I love how a $350 bill, moved to $5k for maintenance and repairs on the rig.. UGH!

No other plans.. had sushi last night,. . always a nice treat.

Hope some of you are in Glamis.. and that the wind flatened out all the ruts.

Some dude on FB offered me 5 acres of land in Palmdale.,... I passed (for the RZR).

I've seen 2 deaths on Oldsmobile that involved buggies, both time they went up the right and turned left over the elbow and struck a quad one time, the other was MX.

Best to avoid going up the hill when the sand cars are there to boogie IMO.

I thought only SXSs did pile ups in the dunes.   

You mean burnt up 🔥 

My 17 year old daughter is in Glamis. Wife, puppy and I are home. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
