Sounds good to me....How are the noise restricions now? My 350 is VERY loud, but the Pilot is stock. I don't want to quiet it up for 1 ride.

Gottaride said they were sound testing Wednesday when we were there. Not everyone, just now and then.

Sorry to have to post this again, seems to be a trend :-(

My dad has been in the hospital for the last week, not expected to go home again :-(
They did not expect him to be alive this long, he is a "fighter" and does not want to let go.
I am spending my time there - will have to postpone this trip until this is over ,,,, tom

Good to hear from you again, sorry to hear about your father spend your free time with him.

Hey Shifter.... sorry to hear about what is going on...... Be positive and stick by your dad.
The dunes will be there after all and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Pilotman

Sorry to hear that. I wish I could have spent more time with my father, enjoy your time together. You and he will be in my thoughts!

Thanks guys,
I know that there will always be another time for fun, BUT never another time for dad ,,,,,,,,,,
We have been re-establishing our lives together for the last 15 years ,,,,,,,,,,,
Mom ran off with my sister and i when i was 2 years old. Finally met him when i was 35 ,,,,,
So much that we missed together, so much that we talk about together,
life really is TOO SHORT !!!!! Good to be here at the end with him ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, tom

sorry to hear this shifter,I wished i had more time with my father too,he passed away at only 42 years of age.Time goes by way to quickly,catch up while you can.

Tuesday i was with him until noonish when i had to go to work. I stopped home to get my lunch
and the phone rang, he passed away 1/2 hour after i left. Funeral will be saturday, cremation
before hand. He was not in a presentable state for a wake. I was able to spend a few hours each
visit, sometimes he was able to respond, other time not. He was 84, and had been fighting cancer
(Leukemia) for 10 years, kidneys failed last year, failing liver, pneumonia, shingles, and an
infection was attacking internals. SOOOOOOOOO he did pretty good considering.
I would consider it a good fight if i last that long ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, tom

Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. We're never prepared no matter what the lead up. I went through a similar time with my Mum last year - she came close to going a couple of times but did not survive the last one. I was away for a few days and uncontactable so I did not know she was on her way till too late - it's good to hear you got the last times with your Dad and even better that you got the last 15 years together.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

Tom,

I'm sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I guess the only good thing is that you got to spend a fair amount of time with him in the recent past.

My best wishes to you and your family,

Jerry

I guess it will be an October trip to Silver Lake this year as other years . We will be ready for
a local tune-up trip mid september, maybe KI tracks ?? on a saturday ,,, or Byron MotorSports ?
I will be doing some calling around to find a good place for tuning.

I LIKE the OCTOBER TRIPS Cool weather = empty dunes = much fun ,,,,,,,,,,, tom

We will be arriving at Silver Lake friday Oct. 29th at 8:00 AM and staying until noonish sunday.
Crazylegs, Odypilots, Sidewinder Bill, Jan and I, and maybe Hauss and the Breese will be there?
Anyone else that has time ??? Looking forward to a great time ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, tom

Hope to be there myself with the 2 lt`s(250r and the Quadzilla). Need to get the head for the 250 i`ve been waiting for. Quadzilla is already to go and got my paddles back finally and on and ready to shred some sand after 2 years of not going to silver lake. Hope to see ya there. I`ll be in a red dodge 4x4 with a v-10 and 2 suzuki quads.

We will be driving a blue custom GMC Safari with an 18' trailer and two buggies, one blue, and
one yellow ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, tom

Tripp,
Sorry to hear about your dad also :-( It is never good to watch someone pass away from
disease, ESPECIALLY when you are younger, needing a father.

The Safari IS a 4X4 ,,,,,,,, this trip will be the first towing i do with it, which is why i bought it.
