K_Fulks right it is called siverlake sand dunes and you do have to be 16 to ride. But if your 15 look older and they wont even mess with you. My dads friends kid had a blaster and he was the only quad on the trip so i had to ride with him and they would let me go through but not him, its cause you could tell his age

Someone posted last week that they were not really enforcing the sound limit now but will do so starting in May.

And yes, it sucks.

I can do that. I really do think we should get a dune ride organized though.

Have you had that e-series tested to see if you can pass the test, nakomis0? I put the stock exhaust back on my ex (I sold my old big gun ehaust), and i need to know which pipes are passing the sound test before I decide on which pipe i want.

Ya I think that would be cool to meet some Exriders up there also.

As far as pipes, I'd really like to see how they are going to be testing during the busy season. I'm sure they are going to be a little un-organized just like they were with the voucher system they started a few yrs ago.

I'm pretty confident the e-series is going to have no problem passing. If I do have a problem with it running the 13 disks. Its simple enough to just remove a few disks to quiet her up.
I'm sure you could probably even remove the disks, put them in your pocket till you get out on the dunes and put them back on. \

But I think they are going to be focusing alot more on the drag pipes, and racing pipes like Toomies, CT or Sparks, ect.

I kinda live far from the dunes (4hrs). but I have 2 trips planed so far, one the weekend before the 4th of July, and they other June 6th.

I might be going next sunday, with a friend that went opening weekend.

I agree with you about just adding/subracting disks. I was thinking about getting the R4 with the quiet core along with a powerbong header. And once I get out on the sand dunes just take the stuff off of the exhaust.

I'm hoping to get there sometime in the middle of this month. I always stay away from the holidays, way too many people.
some friends of mine went a couple weeks ago. like the one guy said, if your close (under 98db or so) you'll pass. they're mainly cracking down on spark arresters and insainly loud bikes.

we should get some exriders out for a weekend.

last year at silverlake :D

I went to Silver Lake this past weekend. I just wanted to post, that if anyone plans on going this year, make sure you have a spark arrester! no exceptions! I saw a lot of people turned away. they didn't seem to care how loud you were, but you MUST have a spark arrester.
I saw a few trucks not make it in either, I don't know what standard they failed to meet.

Yeah, when I was there, A guy had some old muffelers clamped on his truck tail pipes. I stuck out the back like 3'! It looked so funny.
