dunefreak Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Does that Shell station have diesel fuel? If they do are they reasonably priced? I get diesel everytime at that Shell on Rainbow and 160. It's usually pretty reasonable. Quote
JoeDuner Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I thought you were going Thursday night Nick? Quote
dunefreak Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I thought you were going Thursday night Nick? He was, but now he has to wait until Friday because he has to put sprockets on his bike. Quote

Ooo Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 I will more then likely meet you there Nick - Do you have a round about time? Quote
EY3BA11 Posted October 4, 2006 Posted October 4, 2006 Cant miss my truck!!! Should have a 2 wheeler in the back and supplies... no trailer.. Quote
dunefreak Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Call nick if you have any problems 702-283-7411 he will be at the gas station at noon! Quote
Gazlay43 Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 im out the door now Go through Pahrump. It's a little longer than the Tecopa way, but it is way smoother especially if you have some type of camper. Quote
Richard Cheese Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 it isn't faster to come down the 15 to baker for you guys? Quote
dunefreak Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 it isn't faster to come down the 15 to baker for you guys? nope Quote
Richard Cheese Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 nope so the old spanish trial road to the 127, then south to dumont for you guys? how long does it take you to get to dumont? Quote
dunefreak Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 so the old spanish trial road to the 127, then south to dumont for you guys? how long does it take you to get to dumont? It's about an 1hr30min/ 1hr45min going through Tecopa. Baker way is about 20-30 minutes longer. It depends on how many tricks you wanna do on your way though. Quote

dunefreak Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 tow vehicle with toyhauler attached tricks Fullsize trucks popping wheelies...it has been known to happen. Quote
SandBox_Kid Posted October 12, 2006 Posted October 12, 2006 like brothel tricks or tow vehicle with toyhauler attached tricks I'm pretty sure he's talking about tricks on the road with the hauler. Quote
vegas style Posted October 12, 2006 Author Posted October 12, 2006 i was happy i could play follow the leader behind pete on the way back last weekend. only one trick and it would have been a better trick if there would have been cooked meat coming off the BBQ instead of parts and tools. the only tricky part of the tecopa route is that one section that is tight and curvy with the hairpin turn. but it is what a couple miles at the most. the rest of the road is fine and if it keeps me off 15 on a weekend im all for it... ps we need a flying food smiley Quote

I kept the speeds to a minimum since I thought I was gonna run outta fuel. Quote
