As requested by Kuma, here's the start to this trips thread. All is open, suggestions for camp location, pot luck turkey meals? Strippers wearing a beak and turkey feet shoes?

I'm in!

Westecbuilder and a few others have also confirmed. Hopefully the sand is as nice as it was last year. Less than 2 weeks away. Gonna be fun.

Hopefully I can keep all 4 wheels on the pilot

That would be nice! And hopefully Doug can get his pilot top end back together and broken in by then. I went up to his house Sunday and helped him pull it apart (from when he lost compression LAST Thanksgiving trip lol, still hasn't fixed it!) and found stuck rings, a pitted dome, and a few other problems. We concluded it only needed a top end, hopefully it gets done in time. If not, guess he'll be riding one of his 4 ATC 250Rs.

Well, at least KUMA hasn't moved to the DARK SIDE---- nick! he still has his pilot. I went to the shop that Rusty recommended. His book showed discontinued Wiesco piston in 81.5 size. SO, I came here to PilotOdyssey for help & "you all" ( you know who you are) showed why this forum shall luxuriate.

Dang. 250R it is I guess. I thought I saw a 81.5 on ebay, but I'd have to look again.

Weeeeeelll shit, guess we are putting trip off till next weekend. Westie had to cancel and Kuma and I decided to knock it. Any takers for the weekend of turkey day?

So I came into work today, try to save a vacation day, I'm thinking that I'm going to take next Monday off and head out to Glamis on Friday, drive home Monday morning to avoid traffic, I know the sand will be beat to shit but oh well.

Alan will be on gecko road in Glamis through Monday with the new scorpion side by side. Stop in and check it out

Maybe I'll see it at the hill.
