Geez thanks Paul! Well now it has adjustable seats so I can actually drive it and I just got a 2 wheeler

Are you sure you can reach the ground :kissass: Have fun over there come back in 1 piece.

Good thing I'm not a wife anymore... I want to learn 2 wheels I doubt I could ski due to a medical condition, but I was going to try I bought my own quad after about 2 trips to the dunes , I crashed it on the 1st trip and never gave up I drove the sandrail a little last season I have a dune dog, but he stays in camp. I drove a rhino once and almost rolled it end over end, but burried it to the frame instead...hated it I rode one of those huge 4x4 utility quads, cool for trails, but in the sand....hated it

I agree with you on this part Skyz.... :porn: When I was a BEGINNER the 'guys' who were trying to 'teach' me how to ride didn't really 'teach', it was more like this is how the quad works, now follow me and off they go up the biggest tallest dune out there, so that made me hesitant and scared :ah: . I didn't really learn to ride well until I found someone who was willing to take more 1 on 1 time and start out simple and work up to bigger things and was willing and able to answer all my 'stupid girl questions' so I could understand how/what I was supposed to do. I was determined to learn so I tried and tried and kept pushing myself . Just for info...they put me on a KFX700 on my first trip to the dunes because it is an automatic, I took it up the finger dune and turned right back around and parked it at camp. Those quads still scare me now, along with the 'farm equipment', I just didn't feel comfortable or safe on it, it was so big I was scared of it rolling over on me like it did my sister. I then asked them to teach me how to shift and I went out on a LTR450, of course I didn't get past 2nd gear for awhile , but I felt much safer on the LTR450 it being a smaller bike and felt more stable in the dunes. I didn't find it hard to learn how to shift, more difficult to know when to shift. I then tried the YFZ450 and liked it almost as much as the LTR. It took me a few trips to be able to ride in 3rd gear and for an entire season I never took it to 5th. I bought a LTZ400 for myself and I love it, it doesn't go as fast as the 450's but everyone I have taught on it has learned quickly and felt comfortable. I crashed it on my first trip with it, but it has never rolled. This is the start to my 3rd season and I can keep up with the guys on 'most' dune rides except the super fast hella Pauly rides . The 400 is not too much underpowered for the dunes, I take it to the top of everything out there. You mentioned it has to be an automatic, I question why? I think the hardest part about shifting is learning when to shift not how to shift, when I was teaching other people to ride we would ride side by side on the flats in the open and I would signal when to shift up then back down, do that for a few then pick a small hill and do the same thing, then go bigger. I agree with Freak also...if she doesn't really want to ride she wont learn. My sister was going to the dunes and would never go for a 'dune run' she would ride around the flats, over the finger dunes and around the small rolling dunes across from comp, but that was it. We all tried to get her to go into the dunes and she simply would not do it, same thing at Coral and Amargosa. After many trips she finally admitted she didn't want to really ride (good thing she never bought a bike). She rode the little bit that she did just to please her boyfriend. She would never explain why she didn't want to try, she wouldn't let you try to teach her, she simply refused to learn. But she did say that the bike she felt safest and most comfortable was on my Z400 compared to the above mentioned bikes. I'd be happy to let her ride my bike, if she is willing to try to shift, and I will take her for a cruise around the flats...and maybe some little dunes if she is really wants to learn...I'd only suggest that she try as many bikes as available before you decide to buy anything (including rhinos and razrs). randyvw... my bike has reverse which doesn't help in the dunes except to get you more stuck, but it is nice to use to get out of camp and to get it out of the garage and it back it out of the truck but I don't see the need for it really. :dance: :bert: :rhino:

I have pics of all the cars during the burn out, were you the pinto without the stickers and your dad the one with the stickers?

I won't be out for Thanksgiving, I get 2 days of 2 1/2 times pay, so I'll be working and coming out Saturday morning. I also work Christmas, gives me more of a chance of having New Years off (I hope).

:praying: Hope he gets better quickly.

700-800lbs with a light weight trailer and I'll be the one taking pics of you getting pulled out of the sand

Channel 3 News...Update 6:25PM: According to Clark County Fire five people were in the home at the time of the crash, two children ages 3 and 14, their parents, and a visiting friend. The kids were upstairs near where the plane made impact. The children's mother was taken to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation. The others are said to be doing okay. Two people were home in the other house impacted by the crash. They are said to be doing well. The pilot's body has been recovered from the remnants of the cockpit. The construction worker that used a water truck to try and keep the fire contained said a dog died in the fire.

Congrats...and good luck you are going to need it with that Rat they have endless amounts of energy. My sister bought one as a puppy about 2 years ago and it has been nothing but a terror, but that is mostly due to lack of proper care and training.

:hungry: I was going to ask the same thing... The is saggy!

Hey Ken...I tried to load the from the other weekend we were all there with the horses, but they wouldn't load ....You have some nice ones this time .

:surrender: He said he had been speaking with the bank.... Darby..good luck...I had issues with the bank and my ex-hubby, he knew all my info to get access to my accounts and used his new wife to call them and try to get into my accounts. Luckily I had contacted the bank already and told them the situation, so they changed all my accounts and placed security alerts on my accounts. If you haven't already you might want to check on any other accounts you ex was involved with .
