Always dig the vids, takes you right back.

Can't wait to get back there ...

This is why the LT500R is the best dune bike ever!! You couldn't loaf a high strung banshee through the dunes like this. A 250 would be ok but its working pretty hard to pull the paddles. The 500 is perfect.

I have seen tons of video's of you guys play riding through Glamis. Most of you really just keep the big 500 spinning at lower rev's using the massive torque to pull you through the dunes. The power is there when you need to climb the dunes. You don't really have to beat the snot of it to cruise!! It's barely working hard.

Question:
- How far do you typically venture out? Does the lead rider use a GPS? Silver Lake Sand Dunes is only 500 acres so its hard to get lost

This is a bucket list of mine to make it out to CA to ride the dunes there and do exactly what is on this video - except with alot more wheelies.

Don't really need gps. Go to a high dune, look around. There are land marks to use to find your way

I love these videos, keep'em coming.

Rider, get packed up, my Dad and I are going out over Christmas and New Year's! I am sure we can find others from the forum. We'll Ride! We have wanted to go out there for 20 years... we're gonna do it!

Good job on the vid Bill. Sorry I didn't show..pretty much knew i wouldn't make it with all I had going on the week before. Sure looking forward to riding with you guys Thanksgiving. Got a couple new setups to try out.

B_Fuss · « **Reply #7 on:** November 08, 2012, 10:18:21 pm »

Oh yeah Dale, can't wait prolly heading out Wednesday sometime. Just a few small adjustments to the machine, and I'm set.

If I remember correctly the Imperial Sand dunes is about 10 miles wide by 40 miles long.

Good vid Bill, thanks for sharing! You end up at China wall at the end of this vid?

B_Fuss · « **Reply #10 on:** November 09, 2012, 08:45:38 am »

Joe we ended up at the top of Olds, for a quick drink, then back to camp for potluck.
Man we ate good, it was a multicultural feast.

Chile (Thanks Tracy)
Lumpia (thanks El Diablo)
Carne Asada (Brett)
German Beer (Kennerz)

YUMMY

Man that looks amazing out there! Sweet vids.... and what the hell is Lumpia?

??

Dezsled · « **Reply #12 on:** November 09, 2012, 09:11:08 am »

They are awesome w/ soy sauce, sweet&sour ....

B_Fuss · « **Reply #13 on:** November 09, 2012, 09:50:59 am »

they are like spring rolls. Brian can explain better.

El Diablo · « **Reply #14 on:** November 09, 2012, 12:56:23 pm »

Lumpia is a Filipino egg roll. Each island in the Philippeans has their own signature style of lumpia. The ones I prepared are similar to the ones from the island of Cebu.

FX4Pitrone · « **Reply #15 on:** November 09, 2012, 01:15:36 pm »

Thanks for the explanation... sounds better than what I pictured!!

Nice vid Bill... Your vids are getting better and better.

That vid doesn't show how fugging fast we were going. I mean we were shredding those dunes real fast. Bowl after bowl, ridge after ridge, slamming transitions, blasting thru witches eyes, non stop fun. The fastest ride I've ever been on in the many years I've been going to Glamis riding those dunes. And then the endurance,,, to go that fast, non stop, from China Wall to Olds... damn, that was fun.
I'm in a turbo SxS, and it was pushing the envelope for me. My hands were actually throbbing from doing 500 hundred right hand turns non stop... lmao. Bill was holding/stretching his arms out, when he got a chance.

This was no ride for the inexperienced or rookie duners... no way. I've followed Bfuss for years now and never saw him slam into his bars in the ruff junk transitions keeping up to Bret. Don't get me wrong, he didn't come close to crashing, just was getting tossed around at the speeds we were going. Billy R was flying on his 250, that thing was singing. I could here it over the 500's winding up to the moon. Man Billy rides that thing good. And
Bret, our fearless leader, picks one of the best lines I've ever followed, but, I think he has a death wish...lmao

Well, with all the new fresh JH & Q motors on all the above bikes, and this new found warp speed we seem to duning at, has kicked it up at least a few notches. Maybe its just this tight group of 4 that allows for the fast fast pace, or maybe not. Would be fun to get 10 of us in train going that fast...
It will be fun to see if other riders can keep up to this new pace, and hang with this group. The timid and slow, well... don't even bother trying.

Good video Bill. Yes, I agree with AllCool about the group size. Smaller groups can get thru the dunes quickly. 2, 3, or 4 can book thru the dunes if the riders are good riders, and trust each other. Rarely, we have a group around 8 that can do the same thing.

FX4Pitrone · « **Reply #18 on:** November 11, 2012, 09:56:36 pm »

When 4 of us trail ride out here, usually all goes well... but when we have 7 or 8, something bad always happens!

Glamisrider · « **Reply #19 on:** November 27, 2012, 02:21:36 pm »

Ok it makes sense now it was hill 4 to Olds in 13 minutes.

No death wish just looking for a a few thrills

Come Out and ride with us, the more the merrier

(as long as you can ride somewhat)

B_Fuss · « **Reply #20 on:** November 27, 2012, 02:25:46 pm »

And you have tightened up your lug nuts. Dont want any wheels falling off again.

Even if you guys are not the best rider, come out. The worst that can happen is you crash! lol

How are you doing Brian, I heard you broke 3 ribs?

El Diablo · « **Reply #23 on:** November 30, 2012, 09:29:52 pm »

I'm out & about with alittle less pain everyday. The ER Doc told me it was 2 in my right lower rear quadrant & 1 in my right upper front quadrant. Then he said there is nothing that can be done to speed the healing process. I just been trying not to over exert myself & take it easy. I took Bill's advise & bought a back brace / kidney belt. I wish I got one of those sooner.

Now i'm just waiting on the 250 to get done so I can bring both bikes to the end of year ride.

Cool man I'm glad to hear you're healing up and getting ready for New Years
