What do we want to see different than last year? 

Personally I’d love to stay a couple days and camp on the sand.
Title: Re: 2020 Winchester 250r meet up.
Post by: The norm on December 10, 2019, 09:53:43 PM
I'm planning to snag roughly the same area. The spot our neighbors had was more protected from the wind so that would be my first choice
Title: Re: 2020 Winchester 250r meet up.
Post by: The norm on December 10, 2019, 10:30:53 PM
The group bbq was cool so lets do that again, but maybe do a potluck? Kevin has a radar gun so we could do some top speed runs. Wheelie contest would be cool for a laugh or two. We could also entice people with some hill drag racing. Maybe even a poker run with prizes. I could donate a  set of pegs or a steering stem to the prize pot. Then last but not least a more organized and structured group ride. I also must make a demand! If you are there on the sand you will not go by my camp without stopping by to have a beer and a laugh. Not to solicit business. Eddie Sanders was a perfect example. He came by our camp and shared his wisdom, drank one of my beloved pbr's and then went on a ride with us common folk. Just my thoughts here.....

Just sitting here at work thinking about the 250R meet. We came up with some great idea's for activities a while ago.  Did any of them spark an interest?
I know the meet is still several months away, but do we have any idea how many people are hoping to be there? Should we try to get a head count? I ask about numbers mostly for planning the meet and great bbq lunch.
Also it was a treat to see Mr. Sanders show up at our camp and eat with us let alone go for a ride! Does anyone friendly with Arlen want to press him to appear? I will work on Pete as I am sure others will. I rode once with @havvinoj and @traxman a few years ago and had a blast. I have not seen Damon since that day. I would love to see someone strong arm him into making an appearance.  He is a pretty cool guy to shoot the poo with.
All things considered,  I have had a fantastic experience every year this took place.  I can't believe how far some people have traveled to attend. Hawaii, Ohio, California, Arizona, and Nevada to name a few. One crazy sob even flew into pdx and within a few hours purchased a 86 trx250r! That particular fella has a  permanent seat at my table.
Through this event and this forum I have met people I will be friends with for life.
I can't wait to see what this year's event brings us!

It's funny, 2 years ago we didn't have many "outside" replies and had a great showing.  Last year we had a lot more replies from Facebook and such but lower turnout.  As it gets closer, yes we'll try to get a firmer headcount.

Agreed on comments about Damon, Pete, and Eddie.  Damon's kid generally plays baseball and he coaches so tough to get away.  Pete - get a damn dog sitter - 6 month warning lol.  Eddie - yeah we'll have to mention it to him when it's closer.

I love the group picture idea - meet @ 3rd parking lot, the lunch, and group ride (Gene I'll bring a spare watch for you this year :D).  Anything else is just icing on the cake.

Title: Re: 2020 Winchester 250r meet up.
Post by: The norm on February 13, 2020, 11:03:16 PM
We try to go on group rides every day. We usually meet at the last parking lot and go from there. Last year we had Eddie Sanders come out and ride. Arlen was unable to come, but he will be invited again this year. Several of us also tried to get Pete (the owner of Hybrid Engineering)to come. There is a group of us that all kind of camp together. Last year we camped in the overflow area and that worked out pretty well. Take a look at the threads of the last three years and you will see some pictures.

I’ll be riding a 450R if I make it.  250R will go for back up.  Mine just felt dead on the low end last year.  Hard to climb the tree shots.   Don’t have time or money to deal with it.  Spent too much on the 4 poke. May be a CEO in my distant future.

I too enjoy riding at night but the only night riding I have done is in the woods.  The dunes at Silverlake Michigan do not allow night riding.  Silverlake is the closest dunes for me at 400 miles away.  I’m in Ohio. Last year was the first year for me riding the Oregon dunes.  As much as I think about riding the big dunes at night I think I wouldn’t do it with just a stock R headlight.

Welcome to Org!!

I don’t remember how many attended last year.  I will say this it was one great time.  Seeing bigger dunes and meeting our great ORG members.  I know I’ll continue going for many more years.

First year turnout was in the teens, 2nd year was in the 20's & 3rd year was back down into the teens again. First year though there was more R's at the dunes than I've seen since the 90's but not many of them came around. Weather the turnout is big or small it's a blast regardless.

So it varies year by year. This is only the fourth time we are doing this also.  The first year I think we had around 10-12. The second year was somewhere between 20-25. Last year I would say we had 10-15. It is very difficult to get everyone in the same place at the same time so we can get an accurate count and a group picture. We also struggle keeping everyone together on a group ride. It's kind of like herding cats lol.
Regardless we have always had a great time. I personally like putting a face to a name and enjoy sitting by the fire hearing everyone's story.

Super awesome to meet other R owners. My favorite part is BSing and checking out everyone else's R's. All the same yet all so different.
My family trips out when i tell them where i went and what i did. "you went where? to do what? with people you never meant before?!"  Yes, and i had a great time with all of them:)

i wanted to go super bad but i have to go with a parent to be legal(even though i am over decible level, no spark arrester and will be wearing a super old helmet.) and they were confused why i wanted to go ride with a bunch of people i dont know, never seen them in my life and ride my pos with them. i did eventually convince them to let me go. it took months of convincing them to even let me keep my 250r with me paying for it the gas/oil and finding a way to keep it out of the shop taking up room.

Even though sandlake is small & gets boring after an hour you gotta check out that place too as long as your here on a dune adventure. If you want to do some serious driving try out Christmas Valley in central Oregon as well while your at it.

So after some careful thought while sipping a tasty Rainier beer  I decided that I wanted to not camp in the overflow area. I just booked sight #46 August 12th-17th. I am hoping that it is not as dusty as the overflow area. I didn't like getting dusted out by the neighbors.
#46 is also cheaper than the overflow area. $10 per night for 5 vehicles and 20 people vs $24 per night and $5 per extra vehicle.
#46 is also closer to the 3rd and last parking lot. Hopefully people will be able to locate me!

Nope direct sand access. Depending o  your site you will have to ride on the gravel for a short time but most people dont k ow about the sand trail to the dunes and they just take the road it's only a 2 minute short ride to the dunes. With banshee hill right there

Well I had a ruff trip! We lost the top end on Coopers R and it seems that my clutch basket has blown apart.
All that aside I still had an amazing time. Great people and amazing R's. I'm already counting the days until the next R meet.  I hope some of our distant friends that came in years past can make it back next time.

We’re planning next year for sure just to much going on this year for us now that I don’t have kids in school anymore and their all working I’ll have more to time during the year to go see my family instead of during the summer

It would be great to have you guys there. Jeremy has been to Winchester before so his mind won't be blown away like yours will Steven. Winchester bay is by far the best dunes in Oregon.

I had an absolutely fantastic time at this year's meet up. Thanks to everyone that came out and participate. I will work with Ryan, Gene, Kevin, Joe, and who ever else is interested to get this more organized so we can make it better. Let's throw some idea's around and then in June/July we can nail down a solid action plan. Again thanks Loren

Looks fine, just run it lol.  Thanks Loren, it was a great year, I think the proximity & visibility of site #46 really helped. I'd like to get the same spot next year.  And axe the afternoon ride in lieu of a morning photo + ride and then midday lunch.  Maybe do a 4pm racing session.

We could book site 46&47 next year.  At $10 per night it's not a big hit cost wise.

Agreed. I went to look at tentative availability & dates (https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234196) but they release availability on 6 month rolling basis for individual sites.  Also, I didn't realize individual sites were limited to 5 vehicles, that US Forest Service guy was super cool.

That being said, off-hand, I say we do it the same weekend -  Aug 12- Aug 15 2021.

Self machining clutch basket. It's all in the sales pitch

Any of you go through Vancouver? I still have a bike up that way, but no wheels to get it to the sand dunes.

I live in Longview Washington which is roughly 45 minutes from Vancouver. I drive through there to get to the dunes.

Maybe I can hitch a ride sometime. I haven't been up that way in some time. Wonder how my bike is doing?

It’s 15-20 min north of me.  You have a bike there but you live elsewhere?  Give us the backstory!  Would love to get you and the bike to the dunes next year..

Vancouver Native since birth. Moved to Texas at the end of '14. Left a few bikes up there with my family. Definitely miss the dunes... There is no sand in Texas. Closest is Little Sahara and that's about an 8 hour drive.

Sucks, I want to do things to the bike, but it is hard to do when it's so far away.

Ah okay, well nice to meet another fellow PNW native!  I'm sure we could find a way to get the bike to the dunes!

I think less than half the R's in attendance were actually out on the sand with us but the camp site was the meeting spot so it just looked like a 250r party.
