Thanks Boomer I think we will make it by Sat noon to Glamis. Is route 66 a better way to go? Plan on coming back that way if we don't go to Dumont.

Well you can count on me being there with cannondale27. Just bringing the yfz450 and the dale is staying home

. Can't wait to go. Also what is good gearing for my 2006 YFZ with 21" 8 paddle tires, was thinking stock (14-38) should work?

If you guys may need to take a more southern path via Route 66 on the way out, you can overnight in Scottsdale at our family homestead there, say on the 27th? -- that's if getting all the way to Glamis on that night is too ambitious via I-15 Vegas.

Dave if you need a place to crash my door is open. I know McMinville is right at 800 miles from my house.

A bunch of us are in Boise too if you need a stop there.

We run 13/44 gearing on our quads in the sand. It makes wheelies in 4th easy, and all the hills are climbable no problem.

Hmm in Pismo I run 14/42 with a 21" hauler. I was thinking next time out to try 14/40.

That's a pretty tall gear ratio.... We don't drag, just play follow the leader. If you are drag racing things may be different. That's also probably why I can climb Choke Cherry in the top of 3rd.....

I always ran 14-39 with my yfz. Same tire setup. I could pull 4th through dunes and stay on the power instead of having to downshift to 3rd in some spots. 5th is a tad bit shorter, but really not to noticable. You will get to 5th quicker and have a bit more torque to help with the power robbing effect sand has.

I do still have some yfz sprockets. Even a 15 front. I'll bring all the gearing I had for my yfz and you are welcome to it all. You can play around with it and see what you like.

You guys have fun. I really wouldn't go to Dumont on the way back. Im curious to hear what dunes are the best after you get back. Have fun warm the weather will be nice!
