That's kinda what I thought but, I am partial so. . . thought an impartial view would be good.

I'ld like to see that thing run one of these days.

Not trying to bash at all but, it is amazing that a garage mechanic could do what Honda has been unable to do.

Then again, "Service Honda" is a separate company that has been putting 250 2-stroke engines in Honda 400EX frames for years. . . how long will it be before someone steps up and starts building a custom frame with either Bomb or Yamaha plastic / A-arms / swingarm / etc. and a Streetbike engine in the chassis? Hmmmm

If you could make the A-arms / shocks / swingarm / plastic / headlight / etc. of a DS work and just build a frame and a streetbike engine inside it. . . How many of us would line up to buy that set-up? Offer light / drag frames or desert racing frames fully gussetted.

 

A good while back I was kicking some butt at LA Dunes and a Warrior pulls up beside me. Im thinking no way but when the race started I was following it across the sand. I finally got a look and didnt feel so bad. He was a nice guy and said I ran him better than any other DS to date. We have talked on the phone a few times but have not ridden together since. Im a little faster and from what Ive heard so is he. We will line up again at Sand Fest and gang out. Hes a good guy and welcome in our forum anytime.

 

Thanks for all the support guys, will have the bike up and running again in 3-4 weeks and will be tuning and racing all wknd. at Sand-fest Okla. Sept. 16th & 17th.

Hope to see some of ya'll there. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Thanks for the invite. I would love to come out to meet and greet everyone face to face. Sit around and share knowledge and stories! I've never been to the dunes, well sorta. Theres a place outside bonham with a little sand.

 

Little Sahara is awesome hope you make it. Sand fest is always huge so dont miss it

 

I live about thirty miles east of dallas. With that said where is some good sand thats not more than say 24 hr drive?

 

You are about 6hrs away from kermit dunes in west texas, 6hrs away from La dunes south esat & 6 hrs away from little sierra okl north west. These are approx. times & directions. Dune riding is better @ kermit. Little Sierra okl is better for the big event party time & racing. La dunes is small but is a good place to meet up with forums for a day ride or racing. JMO

I almost forgot that there is some good sand drag racing & riding in sicily island about 5hrs east in la. I think sicily island has something going on in Oct.

 

Sounds good, now i need to get a group of friends together and try to set this up sometime.
Thanks for your input.
