My wife is due any day now, and with the shotty cell phone reception there, I don't think I'll be able to come down for a whole day. I will come down and visit a night for sure though!

Bumping this back up.....I know I have to have a spark arrested silencer but how much is this going to cost me to get in?  And what if I bring a backup quad?  Cost extra for that also?  Sorry for all the questions but I have only been on mx tracks pretty much my whole life.

Jeremy I have a stainless plate that attaches to the tabs on a rear bumper(same tabs as a number plate) that I put my stickers on. If I use a different quad, I just transfer that. I've also used a plexi plate too. Costs to get into the park will be about $50 one time cost. Then a flag of we run out of spares will be $15-25.

Engine and Bottom End / Swing arm cracked my case

Ps mine wasn't actually bad pivot bearings, but rather than my frame had ovalled out the hole and allowed for some movement forward. Fixed that and ran the cases. It was such minimal oil I wasn't worried about it.

I had this issue too. That's what happens when you ride hard! Unfortunately it also happens when you don't check things over every ride (something I still haven't learned).

Bumping it up. The dunes open in two weeks! Fired up the machines last weekend for the first time in 6 months. Smoked out the garage pretty good.

If you're riding woods and need low end, vf3 is not probably the best choice. The boyseen rad valve seems to be the choice for that type of riding. I beleive I remember seeing a dyno sheet that proved that, but can't remember where. Other than that, I agree with everything rupp said. Although a trx5 is a great all around pipe, I am sure there's a better low end pipe out there. I run the 5 on my duner and absolutely love it.

I do commercial insurance. Like the insurance world, can't stand most of the people in it. Half searching for a career change.

I guess I didn't realize how prevelant logging still is! Pretty neat stuff!

Well y'all, my wife and I are expecting August 22. So I may not be able to stay the night and get crazy. But she has given me permission to ride a day if baby isn't there yet!

Esr elim kit. And alli do is dune, so an outerwear on that is more than fine. But if keeping an airbox, I am useless for info. Never tried it.
