Ruko Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 hey all... I am planning to go somewhere this Aug. to hit some good dunes. We were originally going to go to St. Anthony's but we've been there a few times allready so we're thinking of hitting Oregon instead. Where would be the best place to go, and what kind of restrictions are there?? I read somewhere that you need to be below 93 decibles in Oregon, is that everywhere or just certain places?? Also do you need spark arrestors?? Quote

RoostRocket Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 winchester bay all day!!! banshee hill is the spot enough said!!! Quote
Jhughes7 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 Yes you cant go wrong with dune fest in winchester bay, I tend to stick down at coos bay because its like 4 minutes from my house. But anywhere between florence and coos bay is good riding. Quote
FireHead Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 Coos Bay, Windy Bay, and Florence are my favorites. Some people like Sand Lake, but I wasn't as abig of fan of that place as I was the other. :thumbsup: Quote
kb7kuh Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 I like SandLake it's like 45 min. away. Down South, it's Winchester hands down. Lot's of razorbacks and witch eyes. Watch your sound levels down there it's 93db and Sandlake is 95 or 96db. Have Fun!!! Quote
Snopczynski Posted February 6, 2007 Report Posted February 6, 2007 Florence is 93 db's. You almost never come across sound checks in Coos bay, Winchester, or Florence though. There is Coos Bay (my favorite= Horsfall), Winchester, Florence, Sand Lake, and Christmas Valley. The first three are the biggest and have the best amenities. Quote
Ruko Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Posted February 7, 2007 Thanks guys... sounds like Winchester would be the place to go... I"ll start looking into it. It's about a 20 hour drive to get there though :yucky: Quote
alf44 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 ILL BE AT WINCHESTER BAY FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. CANT WAIT, FIRST RIDE ON MY NEW SHEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yelrotflmao: :thumbsup: :yelrotflmao: :thumbsup: Quote
odaen Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 I think if I was coming from Canada, I'd hit Florence, Winchester, and Coos Bay. They're all within 45 miles of each other, with Winchester right in the middle. I think they each have their pros/cons, but all are very good riding. No offense to the Sand Lake fans, but that place is nothing compared to the larger areas mentioned above. Probably 1/10 the size and almost as many people riding. Give us a heads up when you make it down, i'm sure some HQ'ers would meet up with ya and show you around and drink some of your beer as well. Quote

CPIBanshee04 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 Coos bay has the best drag racing and the fasest banshees in oregon , winchester bay has the biggest dunes , florence has the best dunes for jumping, sand lake is ok for a daytrip but you can cover the entire thing in an hour easy. My friend got a ticket on his banshee with t5's at horsefalls campground for being 2 decibals over the limit a pig on a honda 450r rode up beside him and motioned him back to the rangers truck were they tested him it was total bs cause there was bikes way louder drag racing at boxcar 500yards away. below is a pic of winchester bay Quote
Jhughes7 Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 Yeh I live in coos bay, Shoot me a pm when ya come down, I will come show you some nice spots! That goes for anyone going for a ride down here. Anything that gives me an excuse to go riding Quote
