Yes you need a voucher and yes they check every single vehicle b4 it enters the park for spark arrestors.

 

So lets have some names of who will be there?? We are trying to get a evening ride in on Friday. Who's in??

 

I will, just look for a limited edition raptor and a lifted 02 red F-150 supercrew, will be there friday through sunday, staying at the sierra sands motel

 

hopefully ill be fixed up.

 

We will be in a Red/Grey Silverado & red Trailer.............loaded to the gills.

My Raptor (Should be sporting a new look)
RhondaV's Drag Bike (She will have to tell you about it........I have been threatened with bodily harm if I talk about it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img])
STecate925's Cannondale and his new V-Force

We are probably going to be staying at the Sands as well. We just checked their web page today and it looked like it is gonna cost a cool $100.00 Yikes!! Oh well, the old "pay to Play" comes to mind I guess.

 

OUCH!

 

There are some small towns near by that we may be able to get a better deal. It would be cool to be staying at the same hotel though.

To bad that ATVConnection.Com doesn't send us some pendants with their name on them so we could attach them to our flags so we could identify each other better?? It would be grat advertising for the web site.

Hint hint..........

 

hell yeah it would be, waaay easier to see who is off of here.

 

ok, i dont know if I will get in trouble for posting this. I do not condone the deception of Governtment employees or endangering the rights of the people to ride by skipping safety regulations. But heres a little trick....

Take the end off your pipe. a little ways into the pipe, fasten a piece of wire mesh over the exhaust pipe. There are many ways to do this, remeber however, that the pipe wiil get hot so your application has to be heat resistant. Then replace the end, and viola, instant spark arrestor. When the dnr puts thier stick in the pipe, it will stop on the mesh, and you will pass the test.

I do not endorse this, but there is the information. its always a good idea to get an arrestor, because when you ride in forested land, there is a real chance of spark blowby and fire.

 

Don't feal bad about posting that Maddog56........that's basicaly all a spark arrestor is anyway. If I take the end cap off my Yoshi pipe, there is a rounded wire mesh screen right at the tip. R & S Performance sells a spark arrestor for the C-Dales for $20 that is nothing more that a cone shaped wire mesh screen.

The way I see it is that you you can fabricate one that will work......more power to you.
