Chadwick

I'm in the Las Vegas Summerlin area.

Not even close Steve! Wanting a TRX 450R or similar.

I'm selling my 2007 Yamaha Raptor 700. I purchased this brand new and am the original owner. Bike has never been rolled and I followed up with servicing (oil change, spark plug, etc) far more than what the manufacture recommendations are. Bike runs great and is a very comfortable duner. Asking price $3,400.00. Call or text Chad at 702-355-0284 if interested. Bike comes with the following extras:

Sparks big core exhaust

Power Commander 5 with Auto Tune

Aftermarket intake

Re-valved rear shock

Elka Dune Edition Front Shocks

ODI grips

Fly aftermarket handle bars

AC Racing nerf bars with integrated pegs

Brand new steering rods

After market skid plate on swing arm not sure of brand..

Skat trak paddles and front razors rims included

Dirt tires rims included

Powder coated blue hubs and other misc parts

Pro Armor brake pedal

Pro Armor shifter

Pro Armor rear bumper

AC Racing front bumper

Why the hell would you even say that!? lol And Raptor broken down? Those words don't even go together. C'mon Chad. Get yer sh*t together.

Sorry I should clarify it's not officially "broken down" but it's taken apart in my garage. Tie rods are bent pretty bad and suspension needs some necessary service before the season starts. Needless to say have fun guys and be safe!! Post pics and trip report!!

Have fun guys! The raptor is broken down in my garage right now otherwise I would be going. It seems every summer sand run I've been on the last few times someone has gotten hurt so be careful out there.

Terrible news! His family and those who knew him best are in my thoughts and best wishes.

We went through those "No OHV" points and didn't even know it. To be honest I couldn't even tell where they ended or even begun. By the end of the trip if we "accidentally" went through one we continued to ride until we got out of the closure without any acknowledgment that we were even in a closed area. By the end of the weekend we just rode and if we were in a closed area then so be it.

Well it's been long over due and because I'm a cheap SOB I finally broke down this weekend and bought myself a new Macbook Air. Anyone here have one? I've been a long time Apple fan and my first real computer was an old PowerMac G4 processor but have never owned one of their laptops before. I chose a laptop because I recently was promoted and would rather use an Apple for my work duties. What has everyones experience been with the Macbook Air? I've heard there is a way to get a dual monitor set up with one but looks complicated. Anyone tried it?

I'll be rolling in later tonight after work. I'm looking forward to a fun weekend out in Dumont with a lot if runs in the sand box. It's been a while and this is just what I need. See you all out there!

This sounds like a great idea, I'm in!

That's crazy temps right there. No thanks I'll sit at home in my bathtub full of ice and water instead!!

Nice vid Pete! Took me back!!

You launched but seemed to have a soft landing considering.. Could have been much worse. It was nice of "Tow Strap Black" not to wave you off before you went over though...

Yeah that first wreck could have been a lot worse and glad it wasn't to serious! It was a great day today and glad we could make it out for a fun run in the sun.

The low out on Saturday is supposed to be 73 degrees so it should make for a nice first run right when we get there. After that I'm sure temps will start creeping real fast. Looking forward to this one!

Well considering I changed all the fluids on my bike, gassed up my bike and spare tank, cleaned everything including my bike, chain, filter etc I'd say I'm pretty stoked!

I think last year we met at the gas station and that worked out pretty good. I'll meet up at the last station. One more week, can't wait!!

Dayumn Pete!! Good video and now I want to go back even more.

Yes that's what I meant! I'll be in bed by 3 pm the following day and I'll be fine!

The summer runs are a special moment out at Dumont. You literally have the entire place to yourself and not even BLM is stupid enough to go out there! You won't find smoother softer sand during the normal season than in the summer. Every year when I wake up at 4:00 am I wonder what the hell I'm doing until I get out there and ride the epic dunes. Breath taking is all I can say!

Pete, great write up!

Like Pete said this was a weekend full of hours of riding. That's exactly what I needed and Coral Pink straight out rocks.mike was freaking me out getting so close to that rattlesnake. Then I kept thinking how bad it would suck if he roosted a f'ing rattlesnake at me while riding behind him. Can you imagine?

Last time I went I never went on the one way trail. I think I can say nobody goes through the one way trail as fast as we do! Holy smokes my legs are still sore. Seriously we were ripping through that thing as fast as possible. I almost got launched a couple of times and still managed to keep a big a$$ smile on my face the whole way through. Coral Pink has so much variety and its such a different feel than other places I've been so far.

Good food, great company, priceless seat time equals a fantastic weekend!!

I love these kinds of trips and this was such a good weekend. I can't wait to go riding again soon. I'm washing my bike down and changing all the fluids only hoping another trip is on the horizon soon.

Pete thanks as always for your superior hospitality!!

I'm in! Only been there once and it was such a memorable trip.

Well let him high center a few more times and he may get the picture.

Still not feeling very well but I toughed it out on Saturday for some good rides. Good seeing everyone again and hope to get out with you all soon.

Lets do it!
