Welcome to the site! See you guys out there.

I'm pretty stoked about this. Gotta order one up soon! This will come in handy capturing photos on a ride instead of having to grab still frames from videos wasting battery life and card space. Smart phone app coming soon too! I like the wrist mounted switch and screen. I'll probably mount that on my handlebars or right wrist. http://gopro.com/hd-...c-remote-combo/

Badass. Glad we have a good group going! Still surprised there aren't more "non-DDR-regulars" that want to join us. Let's go, lurkers!

From my experience in hosting events at Dumont, I was told by the BLM if you are advertising it in any way, collecting money, registering participants or giving out prizes you need a permit. IMO, these races are borderline organized. Informal, but still organized and competitive in the LEO's eyes. They really arent much different than people talking about going out on Presidents Day and racing each other up comp hill. Again, many other factors come into play when citations get written.

Doesn't really matter unless you are trying to fight it in court. I've come to realize it's up to the ranger, his/her mood, how cool or uncool he/she is, the conditions surrounding the gathering, your attitude, how many laws or rules your breaking, etc. There's alot of factors in a LEO's decision to cite someone regardless if it is actually a valid citation.

It is no secret the BLM watches the forums. They have been doing it for years. Hell, we even have some BLM and San Bern Sheriff Dept as members on here. As far as the BLM's definition of "organized event", it is usually based on how involved it is and how big of a crowd it brings. Also whether or not everyone that shows will be playing by all the rules determines if they send out rangers. What were they ticketed for?

So far: Me, Sand YFZ, Mike B, Chadwhick, you, and maybe Chris1223 and rushjunkie.

Bummer man, but there will be other trips this summer. Screw it...let's plan one a month until dune season comes back around.

What's weak sauce? Your broke a$$ trans? lol Or me riding instead of driving? I don't ever bring the buggy out on summer AM runs. Those trips are always about the riding. That's fine. Let's dune! Glad you remember the url to this site!

Quad

Same building that Villa used to be in, yes. New and better company now. It's one of my favorite pizza joints.

Good man, Randy. I am sure just about everyone else on here would have done the same. We're all hard working, honest duners like yourself and hate to see other people lose their toys that they enjoy so much. Sounds like this is going to turn out to be a great outcome for the owner.

Thursday, June 7th at 6:30 PM This place has awesome food, whether it be pizza, subs, wings, fingers, salad....all very good and reasonably priced too. They also sell beer too.

early morning run to D: Sunday, June 10th Let's figure out who is going and maybe get a Vegas carpool plan together. Here's the plan.... It doesn't look like it's getting any cooler between now and then so I'm thinking we'll be leaving vegas around 3:30/ 4am, arriving at Dumont around sunrise (5:30). It should be in the upper 70's. Ride until it gets close to 100° (which is looking like 11/11:30 am or so) then bail. We should be able to get at least 3 good runs in and screw off between rides while the temps are low. Only experienced riders should consider going. The summer dunes can be unpredictable and very dangerous to the less experienced. Bring lots of water and sufficient gear. Let's ride! Anyone in?

That's great news, Nick. 1st gear buttcrack! lol

Randy, raspadoo posted this link for the guy on gd.

No, but I don't know if Greg (the owner) was 100% sure whether or not he was going to be forced to close. It wasn't something he wanted to do. It doesn't matter to me whether they knew or not though. They gave me a great deal on the bike I wanted and they had one in stock.

We have a winner! Homepage updated. http://www.dumontduneriders.com/

Correction. Sportsman is no longer a KTM dealer. They sold their franchise to Champion. Their mechanic does work on KTM's though.

Sportsman isn't s dedicated KTM only dealer, but yes I guess they are a KTM dealer in addition to Gas Gas, Husky, etc. I've never been very impressed with the place but I guess I will have to give them a try if I need any warranty service.

Yeah sounds like an aftermarket radio/ module thingy issue. I've never heard of that before.

That doesn't necessarily mean 200 people looked at it. Many members revisit the topic more than once. 30 members voted

Got some pretty crappy news yesterday. Champion KTM has closed their doors. I'm glad I got my new bike when I did! Otherwise I would have had to drive out of state to pick one up, not to mention probably wouldn't have gotten as good of a deal as I did at Champion too. I texted Greg (owner) yesterday and he called me right back to verify the bad news. He feels really bad and said he did everything in his power to try to save it, but couldn't. I hope another KTM dealer opens in town.

Thanks for sharing you guys. Awesome photos, Jodi!
