Where exactly is Rocky Candy? I have a book with all of the riding areas and it doesn't list it. Is it open year round? Can someone give me directions to this place?
Me and acouple of my friends are thinking about going riding on the 18 for those that are not going to the dunes are more than welcome to come. We usually go to Belfair, but we want to try something different.

Rock candy is closed right now. It is a part of Capital Forest, which closes the 31st of OCT and opens 1 April. Sorry to spoil the fun! Evans creek is open though. There might even be some snow up there still!

Evans Creek is great, but TONS of big rocks to climb/drag over. It is also pretty rutted. I can post/pm you directions tomorrow if you would like. It is out past Buckley.

Calibration is done by the manufacturer and I believe the instructions for mine say send it back to be calibrated. With that said, I had the sheriff down at Coos Bay do a sound check on my bike and at that time I compared the readings from their db meter to mine... they matched. I also checked the vibra-tach (sirometer) I was using as well (from Brigs and Stratton).
I have one from radio shack and I believe (without checking) the weighting needs to be on the 'c' range rather than 'a'. The 'a' range will indicate a higher db on the quads. 'a' and 'c' weightings are just different frequency ranges.
The prescribed method is as follows:
1/2 manufactures RPM measuring at 20" at 45 degrees from the exhaust tip. The funny part about the 1/2 manufactures RPM is that the book that looks this up indicates a lower RPM than what the manufacturer states... go figure. The net result is a lower db reading for you anyway. The Siuslaw National Forest will send you a book of all the ATV models and RPM's if you call them and request one.

Hey Toyz, I bought a sound/decimal meter to check our bikes. How do I know if it is calibrated right and making correct readings.
