itsaripper Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Yes!! I ride mostly at Hauser north on Coos Bay. That way we can go north to Spinreel or south to Boxcar. The weather has been real wet lately so haven"t gone for a month. Do you ever go to Planet Sand ? There are a lot of Oregon riders on there.

itsaripper Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 You lucky Duck. Living right there by the dunes. I bet on a summer evening you can set on your front porch and smell the 927 in the air, from the drags at Boxcar. There are alot of Oregon riders on here too. Maybe some of them will find this and drop off and say Hi. When we get ready to head over there again I will PM you so we can see if we can get together. Say you don't have alot of room in your front yard for lets say two four-wheel drive with trailers. No not really. We stay at the KOA, nice place and easy to get right on the dunes. A lot of the peeps on Planet Sand are into drag racing, and that is kind of what that fourm is geared to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbluebanshee Posted February 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 when i cant get out riding at night i can hear the drags at boxcar clearly. that gives me the rididng itch so bad. i actually do have a bit of room in front on my house. my girlfriends brother and his friends come up from brookings a lot. he has a 26 foot warrior, and his friends have trailers. my shee is tore down right awaiting chrome and billet goodies i just cant wait for summer though. a good riding trip when the weather turns sunny would be nice!!

Dune Ratt Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I just got back into the HQ after being down and out for a while. I live in Gresham and ride the dune every chance I get. Haven't been in a while though. at least not since the weather got wet. Plan on hitting it hard this summer though. the member formerly known as Junior.

dnhyoung Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I live in Grants Pass, And just went to Winchester Bay this weekend. The dunes were wickedly steep, and you had to watch out for all of the ravins, but it just made it that much more challenging. It's been so wet and windy over there, that the dunes had a cornice like lip at the top and you had to had to be on the throttle enough to punch through with out launching into space. I just wish Banshee hill wasn't getting so washed out. I can remember when you really had to have your shit together to even think about attempting it, now there are craptors damn near backing up it...LOL I've got 8 spaces reserved for my family/friends and myself at the campgroung at horsefalls for the second week of May, I am just keeping my fingers crossed that it will be decent weather. Maybe I should sacrafice my friends warrior to the weather god!!!!!! Do they still have all of the chutes going down to the Train tracks between box car and hauser road blocked off. Those were some of the best riding places, and the last time I was there, they were all barracaded off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbluebanshee Posted February 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 dnhyoung, the chutes by the railroad tracks? the only spots closed are the spots right next to the tracks. everything else is open. they just blocked access from the railroad tracks to boxcar. the rr company got tired of unburying the tracks after each weekend about banshee hill, wait till this summer when the hill dries out and the wind blows the other direction= steep and soft!!

rzcolobanshee Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I'll be moving to oregon soon, I'll be up for a ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnhyoung Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I don't know exactly how far in they are, but when I was there this past fall (around september) most of the good runs going down thru the trees were blocked off and had signs saying that they were closed to motor vehicles with a big 6" x6" timber buried in the middle of the trail, and the bottom of the trails had been cut-out with a piece of heavy equipment leaving a drop off at the bottom. Maybe they reopened them, but I haven't been back since due to the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
