saleenster said:Keith, you must purchase another Quad bro.
nope no quad rentals that I know of... the do rent down at winchester bay, but there just little polaris pos's... There are some ok dunes at sandlake, nothing compared to coos bay or winchester, and it is pretty flat. Theres one major trail thats pretty long and branches out different ways, but for the most part, I've had the most fun off to the sides of the main dune areas, where all the steep tree shots are. We'll deffinately have to plan a :SNSign: trip next year I'd be down for that. I'm planning a week long trip to winchester next year the week after the 4th of july since its usually good weather and everyone else goes down on the 4th. oh and john.... just slap a hitch on the back of the 4 banger find a small trailer and tow her downSMOKEDYA said:Damn sounds like a blast! You guy's need to post up some vids i wanna see what it's like there! So there is some nice hills to climb? Figured it was all flat for the most part? So are sand hills harder to climb then dirt ones? We rode the hills in ohio when i lived there some preaty steep ones, but we did most of our riding in the snow threw the trails! Man everytime i read post's like this i wanna go so bad and buy another bike! Just sorta in the same boat as duner need to get other priorities straight firstjust when you think you got it going good to If and when i ever get a bike i'd have to ride all the way there or help one of ya out with gas or whatever cause all i got to tow it with is the stangs. Dont they rent bikes there? Are they worth a crap? Anyone know the rates. peace

do NOT go to pro caliber... there a friggin rip off, I paid a little over 7k for my yfz the week after they came out, my friend bought his a week after me from them and paid nearly 10k (he didnt know what I paid untill he brought his home). I'd suggest going to action motorsports, alot of ppl dont like em, but they have the best prices around here that I've found. You'd like the yfz450 or the honda 450... both good quads, the yamahas a little faster and will outhandle the honda, but the honda is more comfortable... them new raptor 700r's are nice as well!SMOKEDYA said:I was thinking of going last weekend to procaliber here in vancouver last weekend to check some out. A guy at work has (well he claims) some bad ass yamaha? I think a yfzr 450??????????????????? Hell i dont know but something like that? He only pays like $115 a month with like $1500 down he said. peace

hehe yea, I believe yamaha is still offering the YFZ and the 700R at the same price... I nearly bought the 700R, and theres days where I wish I had lol, the fuel injections gotta be nice, as well as the comfort281pony said:yeah, just sucks taking a hit on new bikes. if you find a clean used one, you can get a nice yfz for 5k, sometimes cheaper.
cousin bought his 700 new like 3 months after me, and paid almost 500 less.

yea I bet... I love the way mine handles and how it lands when jumping, but man... riding around on the flats at the dunes... theres so many people and its so tore up most of the time that it beats the hell out of ya lol281pony said:yeah, i think they are the same or like 100 difference.
they are two different bikes, but both badass. i bought mine being strictly a trail rider and have been really happy. if i rode strictly dunes, id probably have a 450 myself.
the comfort thing is nice though lol. especially coming off a broken wrist, the suspension helps me out quite abit for now.
