I'm like Rogue in that I also have an HPR #19 pipe. I ride the bike in the dunes as well and unless I'm riding with guys like Bfuss or Glamisrider, I usually keep the bike in 3rd gear as it has almost diesel like torque to practically idle up a lot of the hills out here. Then I can roll on the throttle and be gone. As Q2W said, the big boy pipes are worth every penny.
