1) traded in the old travel trailer for a new one.
2) had a class 3 hitch put on the back of the new 5'ver
3) one new yamaha 3000 genset.
4) velcro's new KTM 250EXC,( wont stop growin!)
5) 4" exh, on the cummins truck
6) AFE phase 2 intake
7) Banks six gun.

Some folks spend very little. A few bucks for gas, a tent and a plate/fork to beg with. :ride:

I remember a picture of someone stuffing a diassembled bike in a Dodge Neon for the trip to Casey a few years back.

I'm gonna have to tear one bike down as well too! :bang: to bring a family of four, and three of them are riding, and a tent is out of the question, it tends to raise some pretty BIG issues for us. :eek:

Funny you should post ... I have been thinking about this thread for the last few days, coupled with Okie's comment that Stillwater wants info for their website.

One way to improve the dirtbike community's relationship with the unwashed would be to document the economic benefit that an area and/or town receives as a result of an activity (in this case, DW).

I need to muse on a way to document the economic benefit, so we can tout it.

Regarding your tent comment ... Get a BIG tent! I am bringing the tent I got from junkjeeps ... 16x35. It will sleep a bunch of folks and with any luck I will find a quiet generator, so we can have AC! :nener:

 

[Nice Guy Eddie]

Won't the money you save on a tent be used up by the generator?

Eddie, you need to come to DW and see Camp Tejas ...
The legend continues to build. :laugh:

Uhmmm.... So someone actually stuffed a bike in a neon for the trip? It looks like Jer and I will be making the trip alone this year - Think it is possible to stuff a 450f and a RM65 into a neon? :think:

If my laptop hard drive hadn't died yesterday I'd post pictures of the neon and the 380. If I remember correctly he pulled both wheels, gas tank, fork tubes and handlebars off. He then pulled the passenger seat and bolted tie downs to the seat bolt holes. He only drove about 2000 miles like that :)

Probably not,..... but one would fit nicely on the roof! :rotfl:

Tents are fine, chip in on food, ice and drinks and you are there. Gas is gonna cost me the most this year, I'll just eat less!

 

[gnarlykaw]

since we got a trailer this year, and momma wanted to go,( at least she said yes), I have to drag the trailer as opposed to fighting for a hotel room. i do enough of the tent thing with the boys during the year for scouting events. I need a real bed.
