Crowdog

I'll be there with my kids. Can't wait.

Thanks for the report Woody. And thanks to you and everyone else that made it to the meeting.

I plan to be there with my 6 y/o son and maybe my 8 y/o daughter. Just the Rhino this trip. We plan to cruise around, do some Geocaching and maybe wander up Sperry Wash. Map of Dumont Geocaches.

Most of the Rhino pipes I have seen are just loud without much benefit. I am working on providing a list of pipes sorted by decibel level: Rhino Exhuast Manufacturers A pipe shootout is in the works. Hopefully we'll get it done in the next few months. My Rhino is still stock until I find something that isn't too loud and won't break the bank....

Sand looks crisp. That is where I wanna be.

DanZio/RhinoCraft have an aftermarket setup available.

I plan to do some Geocaching with my son on the cleanup weekend at Dumont. There are lots around Dumont. Check out the DuneGuide.com Sand Dune Geocaches page. I've made it easy to pick a dune and bring up all the caches nearby. :freakin_nuts:

You are right about that. I have over 20 shops listed on my Rhino Long Travel Buyer's Guide :mc_smiley:

I think it is a bit ugly, but with more power and better agility I can get over ugly. Here is my RZR Product Review.

Rob Smith. Looks like a fun little car.

I will be out for the Cleanup - March 17.

What are you getting Pete?

DuneGuide.com will be there taking pictures. Thanks for helping get the word out Pete!

Well?

How about avatar's from Glamis? :worthless_without_pics:

Here are a few in-car videos that use my camera from sportzshot.com. You definitely lose a lot of resolution when you upload to Google Video.

I have one from www.sportzshot.com that works well. There are a bunch on others listed on my links page. Scroll down to "In-Car or Helmet Video Camera Equipment".

Nice air. Lot of meat in the car to fly that high....

http://www.thedesertsun.com/apps/pbcs.dll/...UPDATE/61223002 New ATV law for kids under 14 going into effect Kakie Urch The Desert Sun December 23, 2006 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beginning on January 1, 2007, a new law requires any child under the age of 14 on an All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) to be directly supervised by a parent, guardian, or an adult designated by the parent or guardian, when operating a ATV on public lands, according to a news release from the Riverside County Sheriff's office. And parents can receive a stiff fine -- up to $500 -- for not supervising their kids. Sheriff Bob Doyle said, " These new laws will be enforced vigorously and we want parents and children to ride safely and follow the new rules." Deputy Sheriffs can issue a citation under California Vehicle Code section 38504.1 and a judge can order a fine for the adult who fails to provide direct supervision. First offenders may be ordered to attend an ATV safety certificate training class or fined. The first fine is $125.00. Second or third offenses result in larger fines. The second fine is $250.00 and the third or any subsequent conviction, a fine not less than $250.00 nor more than $500.00.

http://www.sacbee.com/111/story/97239.html Off-road formula skewed Survey: Spending exceeds what sport nets, raising doubts about park funding. By M.S. Enkoji - Bee Staff Writer Published 12:00 am PST Saturday, December 23, 2006 A new survey shows state spending on off-road vehicle recreation is double what the sport contributes, which could mean cutbacks at off-road parks such as Prairie City near Rancho Cordova. The survey for the state Department of Parks and Recreation concludes that the state has been relying on a skewed formula to collect a share of the state gasoline tax reserved for off-road vehicle recreation. The 16-year-old formula used an estimate of five illegal, unregistered off-road vehicles for every registered one. That would have meant 202 million gallons of gasoline every year would be consumed by unregistered vehicles. But the new survey puts the ratio far below one unregistered vehicle for every legal one. "It's a $56 million program and we're looking at a reduction of more than $29 million," said Daphne Green, a deputy director with the department. The amount apportioned for off-road vehicle recreation from the 18 cents-a-gallon tax is set by the Legislature, which would have to decide whether to adjust the formula. A budget collapse like that, though, would devastate the department's program, which includes maintaining eight off-road parks, Green said: "It would cripple it." Some environmentalists have long suspected that people who use street-licensed off-road vehicles for other pursuits, such as fishing or camping, were subsidizing the state off-road recreation facilities. The survey seems to confirm that the majority of the state's off-highway fuel is consumed in trucks and SUVs rather than in recreation vehicles like dune buggies or ATVs. "Every time Californians drive on dirt roads to camp, fish or hike, we are paying fuel taxes to promote the same dirt bikes and ATVs that are trashing the land and ruining outdoor recreation for the rest of us," said Brent Schoradt, deputy policy director of the Oakland-based California Wilderness Coalition. "I think this shows the need for the off-roaders to pay their fair share of the program." Most of the off-road fuel-tax money is spent on maintaining the parks, but a smaller share pays for related functions such as enforcement and environmental measures. The state's off-highway vehicle program will come under scrutiny in 2007 by the Legislature, which has to renew it or it will expire in 2008. Green said it would be unwise to gut the program for a growing sport. Industry representatives, expecting the survey's outcome and responding to a tremendous surge in the sport's popularity, were already searching for other money sources, said Fred Wiley, executive director of Off-Road Business Association. The group is looking at how other states raise money for the sport. Boosting the registration fee of $24 every two years for off-road recreation vehicles is a possibility, but any new law would have to ensure the money would not be used for anything else, he said. The characterization of irresponsible riders who leave behind a trail of destruction is unfair, he said. "They've tagged that 1 to 3 percent of the jerks that every group has and that's not really fair," Wiley said.

Bummer Pete. Right in the middle of the season too.

Built by Fabrications Unlimited. It will be for sale soon. I'm building a new car.

Pretty sure the lug pattern on the Rhino is 4/110. What about the offset?

It's not that I don't want to support his project, but DuneGuide.com is a business. And content is what makes people go to my site. If I let Jon use all the text and pictures from a particular page, why would someone find it necessary to go to my website? A couple pictures and some text with a link to my page for more detail might have flown. I often create new pages with some info & pictures, then provide lots of links to other sites that have solid detail that would be silly for me to try to reproduce. I obviously haven't been to all dunes out there. For most, if not all that I have not been to, I have received permission to use a businesses photos in exchange for them getting a link and their URL on the pictures. They get exposure. I get to use their photos. Here are a few examples: http://www.duneguide.com/sand_dune_guide_kermit.htm http://www.duneguide.com/sand_dune_guide_l...e_sahara_ok.htm - scroll down to other photos & aerial All that said, I try to be fair, but I'm obviously not pure. I'm sure ISBB could go to my site and find fault. I do have a nice DDR banner on the Dumont page. Does that buy me any love?
