Thanks for the update. I'll be joining you in about 12 hours.

That's why I never meet up with anyone

Will there be a DDR north pole meetup?

Wednesday or Thursday depending on last minute work schedules. Friday morning will work fine though. It's proper that you enjoy some time there too.

Have you decided which day you will open? I need a couple 6 foot whips. One green and the other? Looks like the weather will be nice. And fuel prices are getting better.

Dumont should be empty this weekend. We should all be fixing last minute stuff for NEXT weekend.

Looks like you are really roughing it. Sweet.

The micro start started my kids Blazer with the battery not just low, but out of it completely. We were doing some work that required removing the battery. It defies logic! The thing is tiny and has skinny wires yet started the Blazer like there was a fully charged battery in it. (I also need a green 6' whip for my kids quad. See you on vendors row fri morn)

I haven't broke anything, but I sure get lost at night. Especially if there is no moon.

What is a superstrap? My tow strap is huge even rolled up. I assume it's good but smaller? Thus, super?

I got this from the Snap On truck. It will jump start 10 V-8 motors on a charge. It will also charge usb stuff like your phone, mp3 player ect. I used the front of my Jeep for size perspective.Fits in the glove compartment. The jump starter itself is the size of a pack of cigarettes. It also has a bright flashlight that flashes SOS or on solid. On the side is a state of charge indicator. Park too long with the stereo playing, no problem. They also have lithium batteries for SXS's. http://antigravitybatteries.com/microstart/ This saves me tons of fuel in the toyhauler tank. One gallon runs it over 8 hours. It will run everything in the hauler except the A/C The Onan 5500 uses about a half gallon + per hour. Quiet as a mouse too. My kids ride so much, fuel is always a concern. 587 hours and absolutely trouble free... Honda's are really good too. What else can make camp life better?

If you have a motorhome or 2wd tow vehicle, beware of random soft spots when looking for a camping spot. Also, most people I know drive their kids around or ride to trick or treat. Walking around anytime, especially after dark is dangerous.

They need to ban tennis first. There were 87,000 injuries last year. Golfers reported 127,000 injuries. Ice hockey? 105,000 Horseback riding? 316,000 just last year. Clearly dangerous. Softball? a cool million injuries. Baseball, 763,000 injuries. Skateboarding? 676,000 We also need to ban bathing. Bath tubs and showers are incredibly dangerous. After all these activities are banned, I see no reason why we can't discuss atv rules.

2007 KTM 300 XCW. I bought this bike brand new and have the title and full proof of ownership. (lots of bikes in Nevada seem to not have this...) Aftermarket parts on the bike... GPR Steering Damper, Fasst Flexbars, Full hand guards, LED tail light, Slavens Next Level Fork valving and sprung for 230lb rider (www.slavensracing.com/ktm-2-stroke-suspension-services), Slavens Mule Port and Polish (www.slavensracing.com/services/ktm-2-stroke-services/ktm-2-stroke-engine-services), Synergy fork seals, Fork seal savers, fastway footpegs, engine ice coolant, converted to DC electrical to run halogen/HID/LED lighting, Enduro Engineering case/master cylinder saver, Ultra HD tubes front and rear, Twin Air filter, full skidplate on bottom of frame, fast bleeders on forks, Hinson Clutch plates and HD springs, O-ring chain, TM Designworks chain guide, Langston dual rate rear coil spring for 200+lb rider, Rear shock valved by Future Shoxs, Motorcycle Suspension Service Phoenix, Arizona, Synergy lower shock bushing, Lower shock bearing boot, Extended Rear Master Cylinder Reservoir, FMF Gnarly Pipe, Alum pipe guard, Radiator guards Spare Loose Parts Included with bike: Brand new renthal O-ring Chain, nicad battery for HID setup, Stock fork valving and pistons, upper chain slider, whip mount for the dunes, brand new rear wheel bearing set, stock clutch plates and springs, digital Odo/timer/speedo, stock bar clamps, tons of jets and needles to dial it in for any altitude and temps, various power valve springs to customize the power delivery from super smooth to massive hit, 2 brake light switches, throttle assembly, rear brake pads, front brake rotor, oil cap, gas cap, CS sprocket (quick gearing changes), bar mounted headlight switch/harness, 1 spare fork seal, fork seal driver, All Fluids (engine ice, 2 stroke oil, fork oil, trans oil, high end brake fluid), spare silencer, 1 side radiator, spare radiator shroud, paddle tire, spare front tube, halogen headlight/numberplate assembly, LED headlight/numberplate assembly. Stand in pictures not included but will toss in a kick stand to raise and lower the bike. This bike has seen it's use but it's also been very well maintained. Has never let me down or left me stranded. It will trail ride with the best thru the most technical stuff you can throw it's way and lug lower then the modern 4 strokes without stalling while still ripping your arms out if you crack the throttle open. Transmission oil was always changed every 3rd ride. Jetting was always done to keep it crisp, this bike doesn't seep oil residue out the tail pipe, in fact it's usually a nice chocolate brown residue around the pipe, It runs very crisp. Runs 91 octane, no special race gas needed even with engine work. Mule porting increased low end power for the really technical stuff and it's amazing on hill climbs. I've always ran Maxima Super M, it's what Slavens recommended and I trust him as a KTM expert/guru. Asking $3250 OBO. Title in hand. If interested in a small bike sized enclosed trailer to accompany the bike we could talk a package deal possibly. I love the bike and have ridden for 29 years now. It's just a chapter of my life that's over and the passion isn't there anymore as I've taken on other hobbies. Hey Khris, hows the truck coming along? Chris

Looks like another enjoyable. trip. Love seeing the pictures. The moon picture is pretty cool

While everyone is sleeping, I am out driving around for work. Around midnight the people who are out and about change. At work I say after a certain time, It's mostly cops and criminals. Along with alarms and cameras, which are a good idea, a well lit exterior also helps. Some people turn off light when they go to bed thinking they are saving energy. Lights (especially newer efficient lights) don't use that much energy. Criminals hate bright lights. Also a good old fashioned German Shepard can be a good deterrent as well. I have security doors and Rolladen shutters on every door and window.

Great video. Beautiful views.

I'm going to try to be there Sat afternoon. I can't dune with you guys (jeep handicap) But I'll help get rid of your moonshine! Always wanted to meet you guys.

I really like the paint on the Polaris. Kinda reminds me of a cop car.

It's official. I don't like you. (Really jealous!) Just kidding, great trips and pics.

Oct 28th thru Nov 2nd YEEEEE HAAAAWWWW!

I think you're right. I'm always looking where my lights aren't.

Yeah, it was definitely one of my "DOH" moments!

I'll see how it goes halloween. After going to Dumont 5 or 6 years, I'm still a beginner. It didn't seem the shadows or dust was the problem, I had no side vision so when I needed to turn, I was turning into blackness. I think I need to try some aiming.
