shanYE west Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 fouledout, keep me in the loop, as to I have never been anywhere but silverlake for dunes. I would love to go somewhere else The BansheeHQ LS ride is in OCT. check out the thread in the riding events section Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted February 28, 2012 Report Posted February 28, 2012 I've run CPI BB In-frames and Shearer SB In-frames (Both with clamp on Sparky's) at Silver lake on my Gas 492 Cheetah and not had an issue getting in and out. Now if you pull up with out OOF pipes or running Alky......you might have an issue. But they honestly try to NOT test bikes that that are kind of loud. (They aren't TRYING to catch offenders.....they are just trying to meet a minimum required number of checks per season.) My wife's 370 long rod motor is fully dune ported by D+M and I'm running FMF Fatty's with the Turbine core silencers. They have tested that bike twice and both times with fresh new silencers it was still 1 Db from getting turned away. (They let me by and pulled my wife's bike over to test it.) Trust me....my bike is ALOT louder! LOL. But in 15+ years of going to silver lake, we have only had 3 bikes sound checked ....Ever. They are MILITANT about spark arrestors, but a lot more lax about sound checks. But the bikes with OOF's all come in the place in the beds of pick-ups. When you thinking of going to SL? We're up there once a month all summer.... Quote

We're up there once a month all summer.... I got turned away with a stock motor and t-5's (99db) my PT's rang in around 95db's if i remember right. They wouldn't let me back in with the t-5's even after I put in fresh packing and got it down to 98db. I've been sound checked about 10 times since they started doing it. My cousin had blown out packing and did 104db.. turned him away.. went and bought fresh packing and got it down to 99db.. they told him to get it down to 98 and they would let him through. Some of them are dicks.. depends on who you got running the check. Quote

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 I dont know as of yet when were going, but my son is thirteen now and hes a good rider so im planning on making a few trips this summer with him. We will have to keep in touch with each other and try to hit the same weekends to have some fun. He can ride at that age....but it has to be a machine that is sized for his age. (you'll have to check on that one....80-90cc's?) My daughter was riding a Raptor 80 there at age 12. She is 14 now and I'm hoping she can move up to a 250. Regardless.....To ride at Silver Lake....He is going to have to take an ATV rider safety course and get certified. Then he can ride along near you. The class is easy and the kids enjoy having an official check them out and tell them that they really do know how to ride correctly. ( They really like having an "ATV License". Makes them feel like they are close to driving. ) I signed my daughter up for the class and they let me take it with her for free. (We both got certified.) The course was very basic....if he's ridden at all...he'll pass. But mostly he'll have the added confidence that even someone other than dad thinks he's good. If you need any info on the ATV test program let me know. Let me know if there is a month your thinking of and I'll forward you our dune dates. Quote

We have a ride group that is 15-20 people strong and we go once a month all summer....we only have 3 sound checks total for the whole group over 15+years! My bike is a full bling machine that is stretched 15" over stock. It's got the looks of a Cascade bike and a high HP 492 with Shearer In- Frames and I drive right through the check point. (Just wait ....I probably totally jinxed myself.) Quote
NickisGod Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 i know for a fact there not going to like the pur of my cheetah, my neighbor 2 houses away has literally tryed kill me over how loud my bike was. Quote

(Just wait ....I probably totally jinxed myself.) Yes my sona nd I are planning on taking the ATV class, All he has for a atv is a 96 banshee I built for him last year. He started out on a PW80 then he went to a YZ80 and then wanted to get into ATV's so Since I have been out of the banshee world for about 11 years I figured it was time to get back into the sport. So I built him a stock port,stock hotrods crank with v force reeds,28 pwks and a billet head bike. I bought a 2004 last fall that the guy that bought the banshee never rode the thing, it sat in his grandfathers barn so I bought it for 1500 bucks. The cylinders, top case, and tranny is at dans shop A&S racing now and I will be picking those items up this thursday. He is drag porting the cylinders, im getting a billet head to run alcohol, 4 mill crank with tz installed, trans just modified to shift better where he will take out everyother dogg out, and a set of 39 mm carbs setup for me. Hoping for 96 to 98 at rear wheels when done on inframe CPI's. Its been awhile since Ive been into these things and forgot how much money it takes to move fast. Im getting excited since I havnt been to the dunes and done some dragracing in a long time. I currently race a 421 cub on 1/4 mile asphalt and that is definately different but it still not sand. Im looking forward to meeting you and your friends and have some good times riding and racing Quote
