L riding the dune, he also tried out jumping (accidental and on purpose)

Forgot N's glasses, so he was riding basically blind, but he still logged more hours than anybody else.


Was great! Lots of adventures, good weather, great family time, some jumps, and several crashes (my hip and shoulder are still feeling it).


More pictures later!

Dunage!!!!

We got stuck here and there.

Way up on a berg.

D pooped out completely.

J cheesing it up with the 250R.

View from the top of the mountain!



Working out the kinks.

This is how happy you are when you are playing in the sand.

Pred and dead Raptor on the trailer.


Nice place to relax.





$10 bucks to mix up 4 gallons of 2 stroke full for the 250R, but still worth it.


There was literally only a few tablespoons of fuel left in D's bike by the time we got back to refuel.


Save the Bergs!!!


What a day! Started very early for me, 0330. Loaded up the Raptor and hitched up the trailer and off I went to pick up J in "Happy Valley." Everything went smoothly, and I arrived right on time. Ten minutes later the Predator was loaded and we headed off to D's house. Once there we ate some breakfast burritos and loaded up D's 250R (J2's Raptor was in the back of D's truck). We made good time down to the dunes and arrived just as the sun was breaking over the horizon. Took no time to unload, and just a little time to pump up tires (J2's tires were flat) and put on paddles. Then D took his first ride on the 250R (I've got vid of it). Eventually we saddled up and went out (D was on J2's Raptor). We made it up to the top of the mountain when D's chain came off and bound up, so back down the hill we went to fix the problem. At the base we learned that J2's bike wasn't registered and needed some serious repair that we couldn't do there. So, D, always the trooper, jumped on the 250R, which has no brakes! And we had some great riding.

Adventures:

How to get D over the hill without brakes?

How to not kill D on rides that you really should have brakes?

D's bike gets really bad gas mileage, where do we find more 2stroke oil?

All in all a great ride, I am sore from it.

Wonderful place to play!!!!!!!!

Just over 24 hours....

From our 1/2 day at the Dunes! Can't wait. We are going to take off really early in the AM and try to ride a full half day. D is working on his "beyond the thunderdome" 250R. Still not sure if he will have breaks, but at least it is registered (I think that is the first bike he has ever driven legally:).

It looks like it will just be me, D, and J on this ride (Raptor 660, Predator 500, and D's 250R which is actually a 300 two stroke) I think we will have a blast! On the last ride we three had a great time on the back side of the dunes going from bowl to bowl, probably the best riding I have ever done.

Can't wait!

1983 Honda ATC 250R ASTRO QUAD

C surprised D by getting him the 250R before he could get it. It was a surprise for their 6yr anniversary, what a gift. D and I got it started with little effort, it screams! Now we need to get the small issues resolved so it will ride the way it should. First on the list replace Carb Intake Boot, then brakes. D will get it registered and we are going out this Saturday to the dunes to try it out. Can't wait.
