BansheeDan Posted October 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hey Dave we should see about getting some plans going for the spring LS trip. I wanted to go on the fall ride BAD but funds didnt allow it this year. If we could get a few of the MI guys to carpool or whatever it would proll be a pretty cheap trip. I know Shayne and JT have both been to LS and said it was a great time/place to ride. Lets see what we can do. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Thanks again 421... Dan...LS is a haul. I really want to do an out of state trip, but it might have to wait till the following year.... I'd really like a second bike to bring out there, and next year I may only make Silver Lake once. trying to get my girl's house fixed up, sold...so we can live at my house...fix it up, sell it...etc. buy a bigger one. Majority of my $ will be going for the houses...and in this shitty market...never know how long it's gonna sit on the market. I'll be at Bob's and Albright as much as I can, but I'm trying to get things sorted for the future...and if that means taking a year off from any travel, so be it.

shanYE west Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 I'd like to go in the spring but I think we should wait on our winter projects first to see how they turn out before we start makin plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 A Fricken Men to that, Shane... I've been to Silver Lake about 5 times the last two years. The first trips of this year and first trip of last year pretty much sucked banshee riding-wise...issues all around. Luckily this year I got smart and had my 400EX to bomb around on, or else they would've had to have an AA class right there at the dunes for me....LOL.... Other than a wheelie bar and MAYBE a different chassis for next year, I don't plan on doing much.. Well...maybe a little funny gas, never know....

If we do go. I'm pretty sure we can squeeze 4bikes in my hauler if we take the tires off them and find a good arrangment. and if I figured right @ 3.00 a gal for fuel it would be about 150.00 ea. for fuel there and back. 2400 miles / 13mpg = 184 gallons of fuel * 3.00 gal = $552 for the round trip taking the hauler. I usually get about 17-18mpg with out the hauler. I can fit 6 guys pretty cozy in my truck 7 is a bit tight but can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell...it cost me, Evan, Sean and Newtz 100 a piece to take a gas 2500 and a 30ft enclosed just to Silver Lake....(Luckily we had free lodging... )... 150 out of town is awesome, give or take... Fire up the BBQ baby...you know that would be a fun trip!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does sound like a hell of a good time!! well the mornings might be a lil ruff but.... :biggrin: Yeah after the fuel cost all thats left is food and we can pretty much pack food in the hauler to save $$ . Well and probably some camping fees but that should be minimal. I'm tryin to make plans but like I said.. it wont be until Jan or so.. Then I'll have a idea of whats going on.

We'll just auction off Dan to the local hotties and they can pay for our food... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have enough time to get drunk, pass out...wake up..and get drunk again... WHOO HOO.... I would have to spend a month just planning pranks for a haul like that... All I know is lock your door or don't pass out early... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badassbanshee479 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 last time I checked, you where the one going to bed early!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 last time I checked, you where the one going to bed early!! I think you better check again...Jr. Dan crapped out...you busted Brent's balls for being up his old Lady's ass, then he came out of the truck/camper and you were snuggly/wuggly...so he went back to bed. Shane and I were last men standing at the bonfire on the other side of camp for Albright.... Unless you got a second wind....Shane was last man standing, I was second...and in bed by 2AM.... I had to drink enough to medicate myself to sleep.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badassbanshee479 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 you may have been in bed last that night, but I do remember many silver lake trips where you and bob decided it was time to cuddle and that was the last we seen of you two!! :yelrotflmao: All I know is, I started hearing the in the jungle song and a bed slaming against the wall. :yelrotflmao: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
