i would try the night run, but i dont know my way around and i would also get lost easily..

 

Hey Yardbird if you ever need any parts for those 350X's let me know... I've got a complete bike in pieces and they aren't doing me any good right now. I live right up the road (Swinger Springs) if you remember that joke.

 

Hey Pilot what kind of condition was the 350X in before it got dismantle? My buddy is puttin around on a 200X. He's hopped on mine a few times on Blow Sand hill at Ocotillio and he comes back with a big ole grin. I'm sure he would be interested in a project bike.

 

LOL when I say mine I mean the 350X.

 

Hey guys I wouldn't recommend going to Glamis if you don't know your way around unless you take someone who knows it really well. My first time there was at a night ride and I got lost for 5 hours before I found my way back. I got seperated from my group and thought I would take a short-cut back to camp..big mistake on my part...this was in the middle of december so it was pretty cold out there at night..luckily I had a sweater, some water, and a full tank of gas....after wondering around for a while I decided to make my way up the biggest dune I could see...I went up there, shut off my quad and just sat there and waited for someone to pass by...an hour or 2 must have gone by when I heard what sounded like a faint explosion...I heard it again and turned around..to my extreme relief someone was shooting off fireworks...those big lights in the sky were like a god send to me..I fired up my quad and rode like I never rode before, I was a good 4 or 5 miles away from where they were shooting them off...I finally got there and I was still about a mile away from where I was camped...when I got back to camp most of my friends were out looking for me...only a couple of them stayed behind to see if I came back...all I have to say is thank God for fireworks!!!

 

So I guess a GPS would be good to have!

Yardbird the 350 was in ok shape... send me an email (sanddiegoduner@yahoo.com) and I'll give you all the details. I was thinking about parting the thing out on ebay but I would hate to see an almost complete bike shipped out in pieces.

 

yes a gps would be good. like raptorrider said though i highly recommend that you ride with someone who knows the way around there. if you have never been there and go for the first time without an experienced glamis rider, i think it's like a 90% chance that you will get lost.

 

Ya a GPS sounds like a good idea. Does anyone have any recommendations? I don't even know what a portable GPS would cost 200-300? I will talk to my buddy tonite and see if he would be interested in the 350X and I'll let ya know Pilot.

 

Also the key to having a good GPS is knowing how to use it. I was out riding in the woods once and ran into some lost riders. They had a GPS but had no idea on how to use it to back track. Showed the way back to camp and then showed them how to read the direction manual.
