I'd like to have seen what you had before you edited it.  :)

a lot of the stuff isn't on purpose I'm sure, I know I saw some empty bottles of alcohol out there. that's just plain idiocy... But there's stuff that we cant' help when a random Spark arrestor/tip falls off ect...  :lol:

What's the fine if you're caught riding on restricted land?  If it's not more than $200, I'd go for it!!

How long would it take to climb a 750' dune?
How much power would you need  ???

Post by: Sandeater on October 06, 2008, 12:08:48 AM
About 30 seconds with 55hp  ;)  Depending on steepness of course  :lol:  20-25 seconds if you have a 869.

When I was living in Colorado Springs, I had camped out at those sand dunes.  And yes it is very unfortunate that we can't ride out there.  The closest you could come to camping out there was the other side of a river that ran on the south side of it.  That place is awesome...and HUGE!!  Maybe someday we'll be able to ride out there....but I doubt it... :'(

RF Out!!
