2Wheels 0 Posted January 23, 2008 YES ! Good idea, and I'll fit my bike with a homing beacon. Deal? http://www.findmespot.com/ Cool gadget. $169 isn't a bad price. But they should make them in lime green for Pyro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joliet 0 Posted January 28, 2008 YES ! Good idea, and I'll fit my bike with a homing beacon. Deal? http://www.findmespot.com/ Cool gadget. $169 isn't a bad price. But they should make them in lime green for Pyro. I just got one of these for $145. The yearly service is $99. Not only will it call for help, but you can also check in with it. It will send up to 5 emails or text messages each time you check in. Sometimes I am gone from 5am until 9pm. This way I can let the wife know I am ok, maybe she will worry less. Also for an extra $8 per year you get $100,00 of rescue insurance. I hear those medivac helicopter rescues can be super expensive. I will post a report on it when I get to go out and test it (hopefully just the check in feature). Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCHWINN 0 Posted January 28, 2008 is this CRF or XR ride? i'm thinking about going, will call to see if there is any room left. Either bike will do as long as they are both street legal. Street legal is the key word here. The first 2 dashes I rode a street legal CRF 450 R. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RogerTOWM 0 Posted February 20, 2008 I’m not going to the desert dash this year. But I would still like to thank Randy for putting this event on. I’m involved with another group that puts on off road rallies so I’m aware of how much work it can be. We take large committees a year to arrange things and Randy appears to do all this work by himself. I don’t know how he is able to do it. These types of affairs are not just show up and ride. A lot of planning and work is involved. He had to: Determine the route. Get a meeting place (campground). Get permission from government entities for the event. Find sponsors. Get drawing prizes. Arrange for food. Figure how to register people and collect the fees. This is just a small list there is a lot more. Randy you rock! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADV Bum 205 Posted February 20, 2008 I cannot make the dash this year. I did not see what the shirt design will be this year. What will be the design, and how do I go about getting one? Did you make any 4x this year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KTMrad 516 Posted February 20, 2008 T-shirts are bitchin', club stickers are done, we have new trails on both days, got some great raffle giveaways, and the Head Ranger at Anza Borrego State Park is very cool.......the rider limit has been "upped" a bit. I already ordered shirts, and if there's any left, you can buy one, but must reserve them for people at the ride first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntmo 910 Posted February 20, 2008 I wouldn't mind a t-shirt and some stickers if there are any left. I can't make it to the Dash this year due to a boat ride to Puerto Vallarta. Life could be worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chickenheart 0 Posted February 20, 2008 damn i wish these doctors would just tell me its ok to ride again, then again the wrist doesnt feel 100% yet so maybe its best that i cant do the dash i was really looking foward to do my first one. well atleast my wife wont have to take off school just for me to play. so enjoy everyone have fun and brews for me!!! hopefully i'll be on the trails in march or april... ed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
