there'll be a "hole" lot a loving for you in SL this year

[r00st]

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!

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

[Eagle700R]

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

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!!!

[r00st]

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
