DIRTY BARF Trip; Stony? Dec 6th-8th?

Seriously, Kyle. WTF were you thinking? :laughing

(Glad it's not this weekend, as I am still nursing a slight little hairline fracture on my throttle wrist)
 
i dunno i will probably be getting a pismo trip together too sometime within the next month or so. ive never ridden a dirt bike in the sand. i hate to admit it but of all the years ive been riding dirt this is still on the to do list. usually im on a quad(i know i know) or a sand rail when i go there.
 
thats what ive heard. but the air you can catch off some of the dunes looks like fun. but ive heard sand is just a bitch on a dirtbike and forget turning lol
 
We were there for the weekend and I just got so sick of the sand; in your buttcrack, in your ears, in your food, in your nose, all down your back, it goes everywhere. As for riding, the only thing that wasn't fun was that some of the hills would gobble you up at the base. So, you'd ride on a flat part building speed for a big hill and the transition would sometimes just suck in the front wheel and I'd nearly go over the bars. Find hills with nice gradual transitions, lean back and twist that thing on the right.
 
ill keep that in mind. it looks like the time to ride in the sand is fresh after it rains

It's not a bitch, but it takes commitment and some effort. Speed is your friend in the sand. Put your butt on the rear fender and wick it up to keep the front end light. As soon as you slow down or let off the throttle the front end will want to dive into the sand.

I don't mind riding in sand at all, but I would never seek it out and spend a weekend riding solely in sand just for the sake of riding in sand. It gets boring after a while and is hard on everything (chain, sprockets, tranny, etc.)

How much do you need?

Depends largely on how late we stay up drinking. So...probably a lot. :thumbup

Since there is sufficient lead-time, does anyone have a special request for a particular style of beer? I plan to bring 5-10 gallons and have ample time to brew between now and then. Some of the higher gravity beers would take too long, but I figure we'll want stuff that is more session-friendly anyway.
 
There's tons of firewood available there. If I can get there early I'll bring my chainsaw. It's a Husqvarna, of course
:)
