  1. If possible, park off to the right across from bathroom 10. That's where I told everyone to meet us. See you in the morning bright and early.
  2. No need to meet up first. Let's just meet out there across from bathroom 10 area at sunrise (5:20 ish). It's fairly hard packed there just in case someone doesn't have 4WD. The camp area gets really soft in summer. C-6 area
  3. It's hot but we don't care. A group of us are heading out and planning on getting to Dumont at sunrise on Sunday 6/14/2015. Experienced duners are welcome to join us. Conditions are always sketchy in the summertime so we always take it easy and roll together in a group. We usually dune for about 4 hours and then pack it up and get out of there before the 100+ temps roll in. If you are interested, we'll be meeting across from bathroom 10 at about 5:20-5:30. The sun comes up rather quickly so we always get to duning right away. Be sure you're ready. Summer is one of the best times to experience Dumont. The sand is never this smooth and steep during the season. Forum discussion is here so if you are in or have any questions, hit us up. http://www.dumontdun...=20168&p=251478
  4. Sweet, looks like we finally have a group. I'll be getting my car all ready tonight. I'll bring my 10x20 canopy so we have some shade in between duning.

  6. Ok this Sunday morning is a GO. We'll be arriving at Dumont sometime around sunrise or hopefully just before. Sunrise is 5:23 am.
  7. I know the owner of BikeBandit! lol
  8. It's only 1-2 degrees cooler on Saturday. It does look like it's going to be warm, but we won't be there during the middle of the day for that heat. Should be out of there by 11 AM. Chad and I are shooting for this Sunday. My part came in so I should be good to go. Just gotta round up a flatbed now.
  9. I have ordered a few things from KTM Twins, but they take forever to ship and they are pretty much retail+ on everything they sell. It depends what you need, but sometimes you can find it cheaper and faster from other places. I have a Giant Loop Coyote which is very similar to that bag. The one you posted looks nice. Eventually I'd like to get a side rack/ luggage system for big trips and leave it off for when I hit places like Nelson and day loops near town. The loop luggage is tough for carrying a tent. Maybe I need a smaller tent. haha Get a skidplate asap. Check out Flatland. http://flatlandracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=FR&Product_Code=24-46 Also this is a decent rack that you can carry a rotopax for extra fuel if you don't feel like dropping $1400 on a RR tank. lol http://www.nomadic-racks.com/store#!/KTM-690-Dual-Sport-rack-2008-present/p/26154096/category=976076
  10. Hell yeah, Ken! Another 690. Congrats. Let's get a ride planned soon.
  11. We've decided to postpone since nobody else seemed to be able to confirm except for dentboy and myself. So I guess it may be the 14th or 21st. We'll watch the weather and pick a date that works as it gets closer.
  12. If anyone can commit to this Sunday, I can make it happen. There hasn't been much response on here. Lots of lurkers but that's it. I would rather not go out with only 2 sandcars. It's always good to have at least 3 just in case something happens.

  14. Well it's now June 5th. I guess I'll update the homepage now. lol Sandchick is the winner by a mile.
  15. Awe c'mon Adam. You got this! lol It's not looking like I can either. Even though it will be a bit warmer, it's looking like it will have to be later in the month for me.
  16. I am waiting on a part for my buggy to show up. I would like to go this Sunday but if it doesn't show up it may have to be a different date. I will keep you guys posted as soon as I know. Gonna call the place I ordered it from today and see wtf.
  17. Yeah Accuweather doesn't ever seem to be very accurate. lol It's one of the only sites that let's you embed weather on a website though. Might have to change that and just use some links to weather.com instead.
  18. I'm reading a high of 90 and sunny. http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/l/USCA1133:1:US 115? Shows 106 for Tecopa on the 13th but we won't be out there during the high for the day. So I hope I get my spring and get the car ready by this weekend.
  19. The weather looks awesome this coming weekend. If I get my parts in time I may be tempted to do this Sat or Sunday if everything works out. Can anyone else make it? I probably won't know until mid week or so though.
  20. As of right now I'm leaning towards June 13th or 14th.
  21. I've never heard or seen that model before. Sweet! Congrats on the new ride.
