dunefreak Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 So with summer upon us and dune trips quickly dwindling for most duners, what can we do to keep this place worth stopping by and checking in? Revive the 3 word game? NO Here's one thing my dual sport riding group does and I thought it would be pretty cool to try... I'm thinking of having monthly (or every other week) DDR eat & meets. They'd be similar to Thirsty Thursday but maybe like a place that is good pizza or tacos or ? etc. Sort of a place where we can meet up, grab some grub, maybe some drinks, meet some new faces from DDR or just check in with some familiar ones and shoot the sh*t. Of course I can only try to organize Vegas/ Henderson meetups, but I was thinking a good majority of DDR and Dumont people are in Vegas so at least I can try to do one here. California DDR people are a bit more widespread but are welcome to take the bull by the horns and do one in whatever area they live as well! So please let me know your thoughts and if you would make an effort to attend or make suggestions for decent places to eat and grab some drinks in different areas of town. Maybe even some suggestions such as the best day of the week to hold this as well. I think it would be a cool way to get to know each other better and at least a fun way to stay in contact with those that we dune with over the months between dune seasons. Maybe even get a better gauge of each others interest for summertime early AM dune runs too. Any and all other ideas are welcome. Just trying to keep the DDR community a fun and tight knit group as it has always been. People come and go, but one thing's for sure: DDR always has always been full of GOOD people.

EY3BA11 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 No 3 word game...

tatooedwhtboy Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 eat and greet sounds pretty good, anyday is cool with me.

dunefreak Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 I like the eat and greet idea, hump day (Wednesday) is kinda a mid week time that would work? Sounds like a good day to me. Breaks the week up. DUAL SPORT RIDES! lol maybe a full moon nighttime dune sesh? Well that's a given! haha Not many people on here are into DS bikes though. I'll still post up my trips reports and pics when I go out. Not sure that many people read them, but I know a few people on here like them. I've noticed the biggest thing that keeps conversation going to is to speak what's on your mind, post up when you going to upcoming events in town, or just something retarded and funny that will get some good comments going. Too many people these days get sucked into facebook and don't ever post these things on DDR anymore. We pay alot of $$ every month for hosting and bandwidth. Let's use it! We have plenty to spare.

ynot Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Eat and Greet sounds good to me. Any day usually works for me ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 There is this little hole in the wall place on Sunset and Sunset in the Smith's shopping center named "The Chicken Shack" They have the best wings, fingers, fries etc and are priced right. They sell beer there bud light and maybe a cpl others but we can always have a meal and a beer and then move it up to Barleys for some Fresh beer? So that's it I am in and I have named a place so somebody say when? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatooedwhtboy Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 sounds good to me, i also have a contact at Lucilles Smokehouse. We could take over the patio area, It is not to budget friendly but knowing the GM helps a little. Its a thought. Let me know if thats something everyone would be up for 1 of the weeks. The more notice I have the easier it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 All great suggestions. I'll put a post together soon with Terry's suggestion as the first DDR eat n greet! Only thing is Wednesday doesn't work for me. I already have a thing from 6-8 on that day every week. Maybe Tues or Thurs will work for most?

sand chick Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 You guys suck! Would love to join in but I'm in bed by 5pm work at 2:30 am Charlie could go by himself though. I could be Charlie's date Sounds all good to me. Maybe a couple of Saturday or Sunday dirt rides up in the cooler climate of the mountains? Those have been good times in the past.
