wow, so this place DOES have a heart beat. sweet Keep the posts coming. It's great to hear what everyone is up to in their daily lives. Wow, twins? Congrats Andy. And congrats Jakster on the new place!

Well it looks like less and less people have been going through Tecopa. I just received this e-mail from the manager of the Tecopa hot springs... My reply...

I don't see alot of talk about the dunes lately, yet there's always a ton of peeps online. Maybe everyone is just about done for the season. If that's the case, let's hear what else you all have been up to. And don't say work. Everyone works (except for OGP ) As for me, I have been gearing up hard to start hitten nearby places to ride. With this really nice spring weather, I have made it a goal to ride every weekend and maybe even once or twice during the week after work if the day permits. These longer days might allow for a quick fix. Most of our trips we had planned are on hold until work picks back up. But in the meantime, there are so many places that we forget we have to explore around Vegas. I am really looking forward to getting my old YZ250 sold and start shopping for a newer dual sport 650. Other than riding, Anna & I have just been doing a couple improvements around the house and enjoying each other's company. We find that during slower periods at work, we go out a little less and stay in. There's nothing like enjoying a backyard fire, grilling up some meat and tossing back some cold beers. So if you were inclined enough to click and read this topic, go ahead and post up anything that you have been up to lately. Did you dog crap on the floor? How about your kid's newest stupid thing he or she does? Maybe you have been sitting on your a$$ staring at the wall for the last 4 weeks? Did you organize your sock drawer? Let's hear about it.

BITCHEN! It came out great, guys.

Gotta work.

Is everyone's season already over or do you still plan on getting more trips in before it gets hot out there? I'm planning for at least another day trip (or 2). Maybe even a full weekend if things permit. We'll see.

...nor do they do anything crazy enough to make em break. On 2nd thought, I have heard of quite a few blown motors on those things!

Yea, the server would love that. BOOM! haha

I'm loving my new side x side. This season has kicked a$$ since we picked her up.

Yo MOTHER SHIP, it's past the time for photo submissions since we have already started voting. Try again next month before voting starts. Nice air and great pic by the way!

ahh gotcha You don't have to. I trust ya. haha

You said earlier that it was 2" pipe. Is that correct? The pics don't look like 2" piping. Either way, lookin good! Very nice welds.

bump Just curious how everyone is doing compared to 6-7 months ago when I started this thread. Things have been down quite a bit at the the dealership lately, but every now and then we have a good day or two. How is everything going in other professions?

Yeah that was awesome. I thought he was just doing a quick wing dip to say hi, but he kept doing it back and forth. Pretty cool to see!

Yeah I pulled into your camp once with Nick, but we didnt see you around. Your bike was there but no Vic. ? Oh well. We'll catch ya next time bud.

Yeah I too was blown away to see Mike pull up. I'm really glad he made it out. He came straight from work to loading up and heading out. I thought for sure he'd pass out on the couch like usual. Yea it sucks about his bike, but it was fun while it ran. He still managed to get some duning in during the tow back to camp thanks to the ol Rappy.

Me too. Going out there my truck barely used a 1/4 tank. Then coming home it used quite a bit more. I got home with only a 1/8 tank or so left. Then again I was on the gas quite a bit trying to make good time coming home. It was late and we were beat! My 5hr energy shot was wearing off pretty quick.

Well I take the "cheap" part back. Looks like the trans vented on the Z71. I thought it was shifting kinda funny on the way back. I'll have to get a look at it tomorrow and see what happened. There's ATF all over the bottom of my truck now. Ughh, good thing I've got another truck.

I wish you could have too, Ian. Let's try to get another trip in before the season is over! After yesterday, I just can't see ending the season yet. Day trips are cheap so let's make it happen.

We met up with some friends and spent the day at Dumont from 9:30AM to 9:30 pm. It was absolutely amazing. I am sore as hell today from all the riding we did but it feels great. I can't even remember how many runs we managed to squeeze in yesterday. The dunes were way nice and the weather was just about perfect (mid 70's, slight breeze). Every run was pretty much a tapped out in 4th & 5th gear type run but I was sitting down almost the whole time as if it were nothing. The dunes and lines were that smooth. It was just what I needed. Great seeing everyone. Sucks I didn't get a chance to meet up with aceisback and a couple other friends couldn't make it this time around, but all in all it was a really good day at the dunes. I wish there were many more like these to come before it gets hot. some pics... a quick stop at the after an AM run Jakster chillen after the AM run marbelous 2 wheeler on comp LouB Stu a couple old waterpumpers These guys came buzzing over a couple times during the day camp nice dunes just about a full moon check out the moon above us at taladega a perfect day

Man that blows. Too bad. I'll still try to check it out though.

This sh*t is ON! YIAH! I'm so stoked. I cannot wait to ride. Weather and dunes should be epic. It's windy as all hell right now, but forecast says it will die way down tonight. You know what that means for dune conditions tomorrow. Then a high of 76, clear skys, sunny, and light breeze all day. awwwwwwwwww yiah See you guys tomorrow morning bright and early. :cheesebong:

Awww shiat! Hope you can make it, Jaksta! Congrats, Dan. That's awesome. The sand will be waiting for ya. House first though.
