QuoteSierra Sands: IS BOOKED!!!!!
http://www.sierrasands.com/
For Reservations Call 866-873-1008 DO NOT forget to tell them you are with the bluetraxx group to get the discount!
the NORMAL rate is $222 for both nights
I managed to get the cost down to 182 out the door
this is a NICE room with 2 beds
they allow for 4 people per room
split that among 4 guys that only comes to 45.50
think about it..
45 bucks... clean beds, hot showers, coffee and doughnuts waiting for you in the AM
they have excellent parking for your "longer" rigs
fire pit out back, a pool, ..WiFi
the deal is.. you have to say you are with the "Bluetraxx Group"
this place has been dealing with BT for years, and that is how they know me.
cant wait hope for better weather this time :clap:
If you have a rally in early June, I'll have about an 80% chance in making it. :) How big is Silver Lake?
My vote is for late June. I need more time after the baby comes before I make a weekend trip.
I think I'll only be able to make 1 rally a year for cost. I voted the early June weekend, When I was there not this year, but the year before. It was awesome weather. Warm but not BAKING. :thumbs:
Late June the weather would be nicer IMO. Plus I really need more time after the baby.

hell no, if you think it will change that much in a few weeks your nuts. The average for the end of June is still under 80. I could ride in 80's all day long. That's great riding weather for silver lake with that cool breeze off the lake. This year it was friggin cold when we went in the beginning of June. I want nice weather.

Yeah but you've spent years in cali and have become acclimated to weather that makes midwesterners sweat just thinking about it. 80 is freaking hot in this part of the world, upper 60's is nice.
It wont be in the 80's. Should be in the mid to high 70's......perfect. But mostly I need more time after the baby comes. End of june at the soonest for me.
I lived in Cali. and I have seen much hotter weather in the summer here in the midwest!
I will probably be in for a mid to alte June bu8t will hold off voting til I see my wife's schedule, and I don't get ahead of myself like I did last year. :lol:
i voted late june early july and mid sep. i hope it doesn't rain the whole time this go round.

Thanks bro, we need more people to vote for that so I can go.
Is it true you have to have a spark arrester and be 94db or under to ride at Silverlake?
sparky yes and i dont think the 94 db thing is enforced so many people there with duals and loud exhaust
Ok, cool. I can handle that. How big is Silverlake? It isn't really noted on any of Michigans sites.
It is there but not as big as some dunes.
This year they did some random inspections for the sound levels.
You can find more documented info with pictures and videos at http://www.silverlakeforum.com

450 acres designated to ORV. Thanks Smiley, lots of good videos of Silver Lake. :thumbs:
Damn... I forgot about silver lakes spark arrestor rule (been like 4+ years since I have been there).
How much does sparkys for barkers cost? My buddies have some laying around from their yfz exhaust... I might just jerry rig those up and make them fit.
What I used to do wit the POS MRBP exhaust on my first DS650 was to buy screen mesh (from a screen door) at the store, cut it and bolt it in. Worked like a charm! Only for about 300 feet...once You get on it, holes get blown in it lol.
Im voting late june and early september :)
Same here, first weekend of September for me. Any later it starts getting cold.
But you don't want to mess around with the SA, mine had a hole starting in it and they wouldn't let me in. And it was RAINING that day. :confused:
Barker pipes use HMF spark arrestors, I believe they're usually 50-60 bucks for the pair.
September 11th - 14th, 2009
Silver Lake Sand Dunes Apple & BBQ Cook-Off Festival
well I'm all for that weekend. As long as it doesn't rain.
Should we let Mad Dog stay at our hotel this time?
:lol:
Is it 450 acres rideable, or only part of it open to ORV's?
Honest opinion about HMF exhaust....Too loud? Any thoughts?
You should be fine Eric. And its a good place to ride, not as good as out west for me but you can't beat the people we ride with.
Well the dates are picked. Hope to all see you there June 19th to 21st or September 10th to 13th.

i have a hmf and totally agree. the pipe is LOUD, but not too loud for me. but last time at silver lake dunes, we were the last ones in the lot. i took my bike out for one last lap and i was the only one out there. when i got back to the trailer everyone said they heard me the whole time around the place. so i let my dad hop on my bike and take it and it is loud the whole way around. so yes i agree it is loud, but i like it that way

From what I found out its 450 rideable. That's about 1/4 of Lil Sahara. IDK about HMF out there with the db's, but my kfx is loud as f@#k w/HMF.

thanks 4gunz and yamadog. Although I am curious about being too loud for db check at the park.
i had i HMF full system on my 700 up there and no one said anything about it. there are people with drag pipes up there. i think your HMFs will be fine. lol

Warren, I think I may cancel the LS trip to check out SL and make a big trip out of it. But keep my once a year LS trip. Not 100% yet, but looking that way. Sorry Bro. :( Don't hate a brother. :lol:

ok so what's the deal? you still want to go to LS in october or whenever then? because if you just want to go up to silver lake in june then we could do that. but i still want to go to little sahara sometime this year but i need a tour guide. :lol:
:lol: at tour guide! :lol:
I want to check it out, it is not that far away. LS might be too expensive for twice a year. ??? I will probably still go in Fall. $ is not what it used to be. Really hard to organize a ride that far away.
Plus, just to ride with all the other raptor guys again would be sweet. I haven't decided 100% yet. Gonna talk to my Brother.
Problem. If I go to LS: may not have enough $ or vaca. time left for SL. WHich I really want to do. But still go the following fall.
+LS is much, much better in the fall. And less chance for Rain.
Plus from the pics you had, SL looks just as fun, just not as big.
And a hell of a crew @ Silver Lake :clap:
I am in 100% for the September rally this year....The queen will have some paddles I hope by then, if not somebody can ya donate me a set???? Can't wait.
put me and my girlfriend on that list for june. :thumbs:

Scoping out stuff. we'll see what happens.
Lydia's on a kick for a house, if a house deal went down, I don't think I'd be making it to SL for $$ reasons. Or if I did, she'd have to land a well paying job.
yup, time to find work....then house.

Well you two enjoy your time over there wasting a ton of cash. We'll be the ones pointing and laughing.
:lol:
I'll agree it's nice, but IMO it's really not as nice as the price. I would say it's on par with your typical middle of the range hampton/comfort family type of hotel. There is a comfort inn in hart off highway 31 that I haven't been too but I hear is fairly typical quality. The water front rooms are kind of expensive and you've still got a playground between you and the water. But it's not a bad place and if your gf likes it then that's all the explanation I need. I still think the Sierra is just as nice as the Waterfront while still being cheaper and barely more expensive than Silver Sands. Then again, it's harder to go to hang out when everyone abandons you for another hotel.

found this youtube review of silver lake. Done by a novice rider. Looks just like a small Little sahara...but with the view of the lake. Dunes don't seem to be as extreme, but looks like some good jumps. Might make me homesick E. :lol: Oh wait...too late.
On the boring side at 7:08 but may help you guys who are like i was and thinking it wouldn't be that great. Looks like it will be fun as hell, plus it will be all us raptor riders. :thumbs: Check out the widened Renegade with paddles on all corners. Nifty.

Ok, whoops, I got some bad info on drive time though it was 5 hrs...
Total Estimated Time: 7 hours 37 minutes
Any one wanting to split gas let me know. :help:
FYI: Still going Socal, before you start in on me. ;)
16 hours for me gangsta. I am really worried about being bored as far as riding goes. Hell LS okla, is starting to get old. I only want to go because I haven't been there yet and it'd be a plus to meet all of you ladies.

I might your only an extra 100miles outta route. When we get closer to crunch time we'll see whats up. As of now I plan on using my pickup and no trailer. Do you have trailer? I do but its way overkill and I have to use my semi to pull it.

I can't remember the last time I heard vouchers ran out, I didn't have a problem getting in the last time I was there for the July 4th holiday. They are simple and free, though I admit the premise can be unnerving for first timers.
Tenting is great, there are number of good campgrounds around. I have always preferred the State Park but there are a lot of others in the area. Prices are reasonable from 20 bucks or so per night.
As Tempt said check out the silver lake forum, lots of great info there.

i know. and the fact that they make you have sparkys is just dumb as hell too. the only thing that could catch fire out there would be a piece of drift wood, and even if it did catch fire where's it going to burn to?

i have a question. in june last year we were drag racing on the flats just to the west of the big hills. but then in september there were huge water holes out in that same spot from all the rain they had up there. i'm just curious if all those holes will fill back in after the wind blows alittle bit. because the spot that we had to find in september to drag race sucked compaired to the flats that we had in june.
Most years the flats stay dry, last year wasn't one of those years. The dunes change a lot year to year and it's hard to say what next year will be like, but they are putting up some barriers to try and catch more sand so we'll see what happens.
ok cool. as long as they don't put up more barriers to keep us off more sand i'll be happy.
so do they let sleds in during the winter or did these guys sneak in?

bring a sparky. and that's about it. the first day will cost you about $60 to get in with flag, ORV sticker, and the other stupid stickers you have to buy. i can't remember the name.
flag? what are the requirements. I have a 7footer from Little Sahara (10ft) triangle orange..does it need to be square?
think it is 10 but for some reason im thinking 14
Square orange and 10ft :thumbs:
thanks boys, I will remember to order one beforehand.
Little Sahara is triangle...

you can get your flag at the race shop that is like 20 feet from the entrance to the parking lot. they are $25 unless their prices went up.
i have a question. i know i asked both time i went last year but anyway. what's the price difference between a daily pass and an annual pass? i can't remember. i'm only going to make it up this year in june but if the annual pass is going to be cheaper then the 2-3 daily passes then i will get that.
Daily is 6 for MI residents, 8 for non-mich residents. Annual is 24 for MI residents and 29 for non-mich residents.
So it really only takes 2 weekends to pay for the annual pass.

only 6 to get in? sweet!
Still got about 5 flags :thumbs:

yup... But it's only 1 time fee (per year) :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:
ok so if i'm only going this time then i guess i will just do daily passes again.

GERD Dammit, I hope not! Got vacation scheduled, wife took off......she works every other weekend. :( say it ain't so....
only going off what erich told me ill let him or randy jump in to fill everyone in.

wonderful. Well, I have a chance to go to LS instead, we will see. Hope not, been looking forward to this.
well i talked to krandall alittle last night and he didn't seem to know what was going on. but maybe today they will get this all figured out. if we had a vote to change the dates. i would say leave them as is. becuase most people already have vacation times scheduled from work.
There has been a development and the principals involved are discussing the proper course of action. I expect that when Socal gets back online today the conversation will continue.
poop happens. I was just tired and grumpy last night. Painted family room, took 2 days. :mad:
If you change it, make it sooner. :lol:
We're still talking about it. I hope to have news for everyone soon.
I hope to make it this year, assuming I have a ride by then :rofl:
Ok, so here's the deal. We've been working with Yamaha to get a group event out at Silver Lake and they are planning on being there the on May 16th-17th. We really wanted them to be able to come the same weekend as our rally but it was something that couldn't work out. Now, we can do one of two things, change our rally date to be there on the same weekend or leave the date the way it is. Please vote for what you would like to do.
Yamaha will be bringing their full line up of ATV's, UTE's, ext. These will be available for test rides through out the weekend. Also, there will be a lunch on Saturday, if we change or rally date we will be involved with the lunch and doing a give away. I'm also sure that Yamaha will have some swag gear to give way so all in all it would be a great weekend to meet up with them and try out some of the new vehicles.
Please refer to this thread. We will keep this one locked until we have the dates worked out.
http://www.raptorsource.com/forum/index.php?topic=3881.0
Im going to both but i say keep the same date.. Alot of people already did vacation and have been looking forward to this for a long time.. They might not be able to get different days off or the new date just could not work for them.. Thats my 2 cents :thumbs:
I know we are to leave it up to a vote.. But wasn't that the case, the first time we put the rally dates up for vote?
My vote is, (for as cool it'd be to rally w/ Yamaha) to keep it the same date it is, I as well as quite a few others have already scheduled their vacation off for the dates it was set to.
Just my 2 cents.
I think it should just be posted as a ride. If people can make it (like you E, Ryan, as well as others and represent RS) all the better.
:thumbs:
i want to change my vote back to original date just cause alot of people have been planning on it and im gonna try to make it to both
my vote is for the original dates. just like everyone else said with the vacation thing.
i would like to say you guys are awsome for talking with yamaha to try to get one big ride with them
cool idea, but I vote to stay the same. I already know how cool all the new Yamaha's are. Plus if you move it to May, I can't go.
I think I will try and make both..
I would think most of us would like to be there when Yamaha is..
surprising how many people don't care to go then... hrmmm???
im sure everyone would want to go to both but funds and time off don't allow

I think if everyone knew about it before things would be different, but many people have booked vacations already. I myself would love to go then, but I can only make one trip due to funds.

gigantic +1 to this.
I do appreciate you guys trying to get something going with yamaha for it. Awesome idea, scheduling didn't work out. No biggie. Still looking forward to it in June.
LOL. I already own the best Yamaha has to offer... makes no difference to me!!! j/k I'll try to be there both weekends, it would be cool to get some Yami gear though... put in a good word for me!!!
ATTN: Yamaha personel... please bring an XL t-shirt, black. Thanks. I'll be riding this Yamaha ATV and towing it with a matching truck. I feel you owe me some sweet gear... do you know how hard it is to find a truck that matches my quad??? :P
When did ya get the sweet wheels for the truck? 8)
Couple weeks ago, just got everything on on Saturday. On on... LOL thats funny right there. :clap:

they have walk on dunes where you can only walk up them. you can take your snow boards and do some sand boarding. they might have the go-kart tracks going in town. and there is some other stuff too, but i can't think of them right now.

go ahead and take me off the list guys. :'( :'( :'( i don't think my new employers will allow me to take the time off if they do decide to keep me. i will find out next week if i still have a job or not. and i will ask them then if they will honor the pre-scheduled vacation that we had from work. but i do think that they would. :( so as of right now take me off the list. i will have more info next week.

Silver sands is closer to all you can eat shrimp. MD will be staying at SIERRA...alone.
UGHHH Sasquatch HUNGRY!
Sierra Sands:
http://www.sierrasands.com/
For Reservations Call 866-873-1008
the NORMAL rate is $222 for both nights
I managed to get the cost down to 182 out the door
this is a NICE room with 2 beds
they allow for 4 people per room
split that among 4 guys that only comes to 45.50
think about it..
45 bucks... clean beds, hot showers, coffee and doughnuts waiting for you in the AM
they have excellent parking for your "longer" rigs
fire pit out back, a pool, ..WiFi
and one lucky guy gets to sleep with Erich!
the deal is.. you have to say you are with the "Bluetraxx Group"
this place has been dealing with BT for years, and that is how they know me
who's in..?
it would be GREAT if we could all stay at the same place (or most of us)
whadaya say?
Hefe...I am in brutha! Put me down for one.
im in also if someone wants to share room let me know my woman will be with me as well.
Silver sands has two beds and is less per night. Just a thought. Oh, and the all you can eat shrimp right next door.
Plus the nazis at the front desk.. F U C K Silver Sands motel.. :tmnt: With all the people that have trucks we can load up the bed to get food or cook out back :thumbs:

And where do you see Silver is cheaper? Every where I have looked it is more by $10 at least, not counting the $10+ deal they gave hefe.
Gettin' amped fellers.
When I stayed there it came up to 84 a night.

Excellent, if it is cheaper....and a better location, all for it. You guys know more about it than me.
well when was last time you stayed there if in September the rates are lower then in the summer
silver sands is a MOTEL, and kinda dumpy
it IS a bit cheaper.. I think???
Double rooms (2-4 persons) Two Queen Beds
· Summer: Weekends from $159 (that is 40 bucks per guy.. with a 4 man room)
I assume that is the whole weekend price.. not per day
they are calling me back.. I will have a price then
well.. I was wrong..
that was a PER NIGHT PRICE
Silver sands is 119 per night plus tax for a "parking lot view"
that comes to 257.04 for the weekend including tax.. WAY MORE!!
looks like sierra is a much better deal

Hefe. let us know what we need to do to get it in the books. :thumbs:
well, I would say..
just call them
you will likely get Bob or Marylin
book your room
be sure to mention the "Bluetraxx discount"
it might benefit you to line up your roommates first
but once you have the crew lined up.. call and book it
Who wants me? I need a room buddy.
i would but you dont want to
unless you changed your mind

I should have two guys. I'll keep you posted. My friend Scott and Jay want to go. Scott has a f-250 and he can tow my trailer with all our quads. Cheap weekend split 4 ways.

Excellent!
What about Todd?
Haven't heard from him in a long time, I wonder if he's out of the country on duty.
So I may not be going on the big dunes trip we typically do every year (Little Sahara, Utah).
I am considering going to the rally instead, since its 5 hours instead of 21!
I have not been to silver lake in about 5 years. I know they require spark arrestors. What I did a few years ago with my exhaust on my DS, was cut some heavy duty screen (cut to shape) and bolted it behind the end cap. This got me through the checks at the gate and into the park (but blew out while riding lol).
How much and where can I buy actual spark arrestors for my barkers? I dont really want quiet cores and I think that is the only way they sell them is quiet core and sparky together?
Does anyone know if an HMF Small screen spark arrestor (just the circle with the domed shape screen sparky) will fit inside a barker end cap? Last I knew those were pretty cheap (10 bucks each?). That way I could have a more legit way of getting into the park and also not have to worry about them blowing out.
Thanks in advance...and I might be seeing you guys up there :)

Someone shoot me a PM when we get started with the hotel booking and whatnot. Looks like I'm flying solo, so if anyone needs a bed and can put with an asshole of my epic proportions (I'll be calmer in june, there's no football) then I'll have space. I plan on being up there thursday afternoon and leaving after breakfast on Sunday.

Anyone else planning on being up there Thursday? I'm going to try and head up and get there around noon or so and get some riding in, then stay Thursday night as well.
If I'm still without a job I would be all for it, but Peels is meeting at my house and I would only leave early if he could as well as the other two guys I'm going with.

how many have booked their rooms?
ok guys here's an update on my situation at work. my girlfriend and i might be getting to go after all. i'm about 75% sure i'll be up there. i just have to wait on my boss to give me my vacation request form. he already told me he would do everything he could to get me that day, so hopfully that means something. lol. i'm just curious if anybody has any room left in their hotel rooms? i'm asking for a friend of mine. some of you guys know him from here already and he might have said something to someone already but i'm just curious since i'm the guy driving. his screen name here is scurry57. does anybody have any room for him to stay with you? we would probably be leaving right after work on thursday, so that would put me us up there around 11PM.

Warren, you can stay with Krandall and Nick, maybe MD. Good luck with that. :lol: sleep on your back, that is all I will say. :rofl:

QuoteFood/Who's Bringing it/What we still need
- Burgers
- Hot Dogs
- Cheese
- Beans and a pot to cook them in (or some other non-perishable side dish)
Sand84 - Grill, fuel for grill, utensils for grill, guy to run grill (Socal)
Socalrappy700 - Buns for Burgers
Socalrappy700 - Buns for Hot Dogs
Socalrappy700 - Condiments for burgers/dogs
Krandall - Chips of any and all kinds
PeelsSE2 - Cookies
Here's the list of stuff people are bringing and what we need still. I'm thinking, if it doens't work out that we find dogs / burgers we do a small donation like $2-3 a person. that'd be plenty and one of us can pick up the goods before goin out there. Thoughts?

I know the line of work you're in man, when work demands you simply gotta be there. I was just giving you crap the other day as I'm known to do from time to time ;)
I don't have a trailer or even my quad down here, it's all up in mich in pieces hoping it will be together for the rally. I wouldn't be able to offer you a spot on the trailer anyway. I will just have to get the quad fixed and down here so I can come out and ride at your family's place. :thumbs:
Im pretty sure Beaner is out but I think I might have the green light :thumbs:
Gotta check the work schedule tomorrow but Im pretty sure Im off.
Now just gotta find a copilot....maybe something of the female variety >:D
Everyone thats going should bring their RS shirt for a group photo..... I know I'm gay, but what the hell. Is there a place to camp out in the back of a trailer? How freak'n hot is Michigan right now?
4gunz
hot...
MI is kinda chilly at night right now (50 ish)
Temp..
if you can get a ride up here I have tires you can borrow.. let me know!
Will do Thanks man

NO voucher for Friday.. Yes for Saturday
Vouchers are free
ORV is under 20 bucks (like 16.75 or something)
State Park Day pass $6 you need one for your car and one for EACH quad
they offer an annual one too $24 same goes for the quad
If Scurry57 needs a room, hit me up.. X-Rider and I might have an extra spot or 2
maybe we get Phucker to stay with us too, he can sleep with him
That is my issue to I am gonna have to look into a room also If I get the go ahead I will sleep in my truck to be there... I am gonna pester my boss some more today to try to get an answer, I get the well it is to early to tell answer all the time Driving me nutts

if scurry57 goes with us i will have the bed of my truck free. you could throw it in there. :thumbs:
I sent Hefe the info.
You may be able to get away with just loosening the clamp and folding the handlebars forward or backwards, depending on how close of a fit it is.
I will have the prairie and the 660 on the trailer, but if I put them towards the front of the trailer I may be able to fit a 3rd on. I realize it's no enclosed trailer though.
I'm sure we'll find a place for it. I know if we stand quads up we can fit more. Trip is right around the corner, I guess its time for me to get the quad ready.
sweet, thanks guys!!!! I'm really pumped for the trip!!!! Wellp. Headin out to grease the quad up and throw a swinger on her!!! :nana:

I'm about 20 freakin minutes from Erich :help:
I think hey MAY end up having extra room on their trailer
BT has one..
and the current Rally has been mentioned on the old post at MR..
you want me to start a new one?

Don't sell this place!

so what's up nobody can get me a voucher then?
Quotejust get your voucher after sunset...panzy!
I think the voucher booth closes before sundown?! Someone correct me if Im wrong.
Quoteso what's up nobody can get me a voucher then?
I was worried about the same thing myself. I wont be there till 8am (if Im lucky) on Sat. ???
I might need a parking lot voucher. There's a good chance I'll be pulling a trailer.
Usually I just get a dune ready voucher (easier to get) and take my truck on the dunes with the quad in the bed.
You cant start getting Vouchers till 9PM...
Ok SLACKERZ, I booked a room for Friday and Saturday nite. Got super lucky...........They only had the double queen setup.... So if anybody needs a bed I got 1 for ya. You guys that are double stacked in a bed that may not be able to handle the groping, let me know.
1) Also I need to know for sure the Barkers can pass the DB's... I'm from Oklahoma, we don't care about that crap.
2) I'll bring Hot Dogs
3) This voucher thing, is that going to be a problem?
4) How much is a daily pass?
Im so excited I might just leave on Wednesday. :clap:

1. Yes your barkers will pass just be easy on the throttle as you pass the gate.. I got checked with LTE's with old blown out packing and was 97 db no Quiet core. YOU DO NEED A SPARK ARRESTOR.. They check everytime for a sparky except sometimes during the week..
2. SWEET :thumbs:
3. The Voucher thing is no big deal. The way i do it is as I leave the dunes i go get inline for the vouchers or if leave the dunes early just unhook the trailer and roll down to the voucher station..
4. Daily pass last year was $8 a day.. You need the ORV for the quad thats $16.25 I think. You need a Daily pass for the truck and quad per day.
ok..
1) They really hardly EVER test for DBs, that being said, I (or Phucker) will have some Barker Quiet cores to sell (if Tim can't make it, but he says he will try to be there)
you MUST>> MUST>>MUST>> have a spark arrestor, (and we will have those also)
2) I am bringing the dogs.. but you could get the burgers (or I can.. I don't care)
3) Vouchers are NOT a problem, the place will not be full, Vouchers are easy to get in the morning or before they close the night before
4) Day passes are 6 bucks (or 24 for a yearly), they might be a touch more for out of state people (quick research reveals $8 daily and $29 annual)
you will need one for both the truck and the quad
ok..
your Room, did you get it at the Sierra Sands like the rest of us?
or did you decide to stay and hold hands with Warren and his bride?
did you tell Marilyn (at the sands) that you were with the BT group, so she puts you next to us
I can call her and tell her we want you FAR away!
dammit Sand84.. beat me to it!
:ninja: SKILLS 8)
I'm at the Sands too, but they said they couldn't put me next to you guys. If you can fix that please do. (reserv under Michael Caraker). I did get the Bluetraxx discount. I have one QC, I'll try to pick one up in the next few days if not I'll buy one from you when I get there. How many burgers you think? 40, 80, or what? I'll bring them. I can't remember are we doing 1 cook out or 2? If it's just one I'll bring a box of 40ish.

Looks like the count (Not counting anyone from RF or MR) only people on the list here. It's 20 people
Figure 2 burgers a person is a good place to start. since theres dogs not everyone will have 2. Plus there'll be chips cookies ect..... :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:
If i do make it to the rally (if quad is still in the garage) Im bringing some beer. maybe 3 or 4 cases. Prob Miller Lite and bud Light.

Cool :thumbs: What time are you guys planning on leaving Friday morning and how long of a drive is it from your place?
I want to be on the road around 5:30-6 and its about a 4.5 hour drive. What will you be driving?
Either my Denali w/trailer or my Dodge w/out trailer, depends on if anybody decides to go or not and if anybody needs to be picked up on the way.

Word!
Ok so here is the deal... A buddy and I MAY be coming. If we did I think we would come up saturday morning, ride all day saturday and then ride a bit sunday.
I just called the hotel and apparently they are booked up. Does anyone have a room they want to split with two more guys? The operator at the hotel said they have plenty of roll aways so im sure we can cram them in there (or even just bring sleeping bags for the floor). I have stayed here before and its a pretty nice place and the rooms are of decent sized.
I have a few messages into steve about getting me two of those universal Spark arrestors (HMF ones I think) for my barkers but no response yet...guess it ulimately depends if he can get two sparkys to me before the ride date!
Is anyone camping? Might have to even consider that if the weather will be half way decent.
I just finished my build and bought some extremes and missed out on my riding groups "big" ride out to Utah last week, so I at least want to hit up the miny dunes and meet some forum members!
If anyone has a good place to buy those universal sparky screens at a good price online let me know so I can purchase some ASAP to get them by friday. Steve only charges 10 per (so like 27 shipped priority). I found a few places but some want almost 20 bucks PER screen!
Thanks

Moped?
Warren do you have two extra sparkys I could throw in my barkers just for saturday? Not sure if I can get some here in time so was not sure if I was going to make the trip.
who said that they had sum quiet cores? hoping that they will fit in my dg pipe otherwise i guess its gonna be stock pipe for me ???
ok for everybody asking about sparkys and quiet cores. i have 2 sparkys and 3 quiet cores.
the sparkys are called for by 4gunz but i still have the 3 quiet cores, and they have spark arrestors on them. so anybody that needs a sparky will have to use one of the 3 quiet cores i have. i will be up there friday morning after breakfast(sometime around 9AM i'm thinking) so whoever needs one come hit me up. i'll post a pic of my truck and trailer set up one wensday this week. :thumbs:

Im still tryin to get a copilot, but I'll ride up solo if I have to.

that is an awesome (yet very disturbing) song!
:lol: NIce Aaron.
hey socal thanks again for updating that first post. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
ok so anybody that needs a sparky or quiet core let me know. i guess that 4gunz only needs one sparky so i will have another one up for grabs. i'm thinking i might take a $10 deposit on the sparkys and $20 on the quiet cores which will be refunded when i get them back. i just to make sure i get them back that's all. if you need a sparky let send me a PM to let me know. i can't keep track with all these pages to go through. like i said before i will have 3 QC, and 2 sparkys(4gunz called 1 though)
if QC's are required, I'll take one off your hands, anhd I'd buy it if you want to get rid of it. lost mine XC'in last summer.

there'll be a "hole" lot a loving for you in SL this year :lol:
Alright so im MAYBE going to come (possibly just for saturday, drive up - ride and drive home).
I have not ridden at silver lake in about 5 years. I remember back in the day there was a huge PITA process to get a vehicle parking permit...does this problem still exist? We used to have to line up the night before to get a permit for the next morning!
We have to have MI DNR stickers to ride, right? What is the process for getting this? Just stopping and buying one and putting it on? Do we have to have any proof of ownership or anything to get the sticker? I know in WI they make you show proof of ownership/ proof of paying sales tax in your home state to get a sticker
Also...Warren, are you sparkys/quiet cores called for? I told steve not to send me any thinking I wasnt going but now I might be but will obviously not be getting past the check station w/o sparky's!
Thanks guys! I know some of you are going friday but I would love to put my [oil burning] new build to the test in some sand!

Here ya go
http://www.silverlakeforum.com/index.php/topic,6.0.html
Guys i got a question on the silver lake..Im not going to get to make the rally but will be there the next weekend.It sucks but its the only time i can go..Anyhow im running my monster pipes with the screens,are they gonna check the decibles (test).
2nd the flags i got a couple flags(bike) that are 10ft long and the flags are 10X10 1/2..Will this be ok.I have never been there and 7 of us are going up for the day a week from sunday.Is there anything i really need to know.I really appreciate your response..Also i dont have paddles just my razor 2s will this do.
Eagle I have not been lately but can give you info based on riding there 5 years ago!
You will be just fine riding on razrs! Sometimes its more fun because you can whip it around easier
When I used to go they were not really THAT careful with checking DB's. If you roll up at 75% throttle and its loud, they would check you. If you rode up at lowest throttle possible you would be ok as long as you have sparkys (which you said you do). I used to ride with a sparky in my MBRP pipe on my DS650 and it was 106DB but they never checked me so I was ok.
Your 10FT flags are A-OK. They used to sell flags at the parts shop on the dunes parking lot too so if you break one or cant get some in time you can buy them there.
If you have never ridden dunes before I must warn you: its a blast and you will be back :)
Thanks so much for the reply,im really looking forward to it.I would have love to went to the rally to meet some of you but the date is just not possible for us..It will be my 1st time along with a 1st time for some of my friends.Thanks again
Have fun you guys, ride safe :thumbs:
dicks :(
Don't be a hater. We'll send you some sand. :lol:
Well just got news from 4gunz!! He went to the rally. He sent me pics of him sitting in the ER!!! He nose dived a 5ft. jump and broke his right wrist!!!
lol yikes... Its actually funny because I have almost biffed it twice back at silver lake (5+ years ago) and the damn dunes are only like 500 acres. Funny considering in the REAL dunes out west I have ridden probably 100 hours over the last 6 years and never biffed it once.
Those little witches eyes/pockets/G=outs at silver lake can kick your butt!
Hope you heal up quick 4xguns! Hope everyone is having fun :)
have fun guys and get kicked out of resturant for me :thumbs: i dont know if they take minn. money krandall

Home from the GREAT weekend. And this may be my only serious post but I have to say I've never gone riding with a better set of guys. Our newcomers to Silver Lake, Shawn (preddy), Mike (Gunny) and Eric (Peels) are top notch in my book and for sure my brothers from other mothers. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time, this weekend was just what the doctor ordered in my life right now. Thanks to all that showed up and made it such a great weekend. And thanks to Shawn for cooking last night when everyone else was too dead tired to get up. The stories we all will have from this weekend could go on forever. By far my top Silver Lake rally. I still find myself busting up laughing just thinking about all the BS going on around the camp fire or out in front of our hotel room. I already find myself looking forward to the next time we all can do it again. And the 2011 US RaptorSource tour is going to top it all. Thanks again to all for the memories and some great duning.
Erich
how many jokes about me ya bastards

You were out playing somewhere else while preddy and 4x4gunz(at least his quad) and I were lining up.

I rode that baby too. Thanks again, Tim. Nice ride.
I was breaking my 700 drag race cherry on 4gunz' quad, under his watchful eye of course. :thumbs:
I know he was cheering you on. If you and preddy had some different paddles instead of the sand stars i am pretty sure the outcome might have been different.

Tim, between my bike and your bike, Shawn was talking stroker all the way across Iowa. I was so pissed I couldn't ride your bike. Hopefully you'll still have it in Oct at the Little Sahara Rally. :clap:
Maddog on mine and Preddy on yours.

Oh yeah. Did about 20 or so races on friday and a dozen or so Saturday. I must say I love lining up my Barker trail bike on the drag strip. :clap:
I really wanted to line mine up, it pulls harder than my old one, and THAT one did VERY well on the strip
PATIENCE my son we have to make sure it will be fast enough before we run it. ;)
I will try to get that ripped down this week

CRIPES!
Is there a seperate thread for the September Silver Lake rally, or are we using this?
A new one would be convenient ;) :thumbs:
I am hoping to have my motor back together by then. I just bought some spark arrestors for my barkers and still have my extremes mounted up from the last rally (that I conveniently did NOT make!)
This year there will not be a fall organized Silver Lake rally. Instead Raptorsource will be doing a rally at LS.
Please see the following thread.
