Timmy301 Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 just use some common sense. If you dont have the experiance your buddies have you will just have to wait till you learn how to tame that beast and not kill yourself trying. Lots of seat time and practice is about all I can help you with.If your looking for drag racing tips I cant help ya with that,sorry congrads on the new bike by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NugShee Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 So you want advie on riding the Florence dunes? First of all Park at the second parking lot to the left. That would be goose pasture. Until you know your bike is dependable this is the safest place to be in case you have to be towed back. For the first few hours stay close to the parking lot. If you break down way out by comp its going to be a nightmare getting back. Always keep your eye open for flags coming over hills or around corners. Keep your speed up. Going slow in sand is a lot of strain on your bike and will cause it to overheat and possible engine damage. as often as possible hit a flat and get the wind going thru the motor, running engine ice and a higher octane fuel is a huge improvement. Always be ready for a drop, I dont know how many times I have been WOT and taken a 10ft freefall. And one last thing, when in doubt, gas it!!
