I have an idea...With the Pro Bowlers here in town, got me to thinking.....What if we (as a club) put on a bowling tournement, for a charity or to help fund a project.  We all could have fun and maybe help some people that really need it.  It would also get our name out there in a positive way..Let's hear what ya think?  I personally haven't bowled in about 5 years, but I bet I could still beat the VP.

[PDP Shane]

What could an atv riding club do ? . . .  HEY !!! LETS GO RIDIN' !!!! You can bring some of your killer recipes for spam !!! Put it on a stick , hang it over a fire , IT'S DONE !!! LETS HAVE A FLAT HOT DOG FOR DINNER !!!!   YEEE HAAA !!!

[duraraptor]

What could an atv riding club do?.....Maybe you have heard of Toys For Tot's?    Don't be a spam hater, be a spam eater.LOL

[Dune Dude]

OK,

So far we have an excellent idea of a bowling night,
More riding of the ATVs,
And a gluttonous Spam eating orgy, (which if I was involved would be followed by a puking contest).

Come on people!
More ideas?  Hello, is anyone else out there?

[RTOYZ]

Dune Dude is doing a lot of work on this, AND this is your big opportunity to be heard and have the club go in the direction you want it to. THIS IS ALL FOR YOU, THE MEMBER. So if you have any ideas please respond.

[Dune Dude]

Now look what you kids went and done.  I had to sic the VP on ya!   

[duraraptor]

It's not my fault!!!!, it's all his fault.  He has spam envy.  Plus I don't think he has the athletic ability to bowl.  Seriously let's hear  some idea's. P.S.  DD I got it

[RTOYZ]

Bowling sounds fun. I used to be on a league. Let's go Duraraptor. 

[PDP Shane]

The diesel truck drags are coming up in late spring , early summer @ woodburn drag strip . I know its a long trip for you guys , but I would be willing to put up a few performance parts to the fastest T.I. member . I will get the exact date and let you know , if its something you guys would be interested in .

[duraraptor]

That sounds like a blast.  I would like to go, havent been there in years.

[RTOYZ]

Sounds like a guy trip to the Diesel Drags. Shane, Let us know when we are taking a trip. 

[PDP Shane]

I'll get some dates this week then !

[Dune Dude]

Shane,

Are you going to be entering that slug of a Dodge product you own?   

[duraraptor]

DD, remember he hit a deer a while back.  I'm sure they had to rebuild the whole truck.  Good thing he was only traveling 15 mph when it happened, other wise he may have been seriously injured.

[PDP Shane]

Yea , I'm a pretty lucky fella being able to pull off that death defying act . The doctors told me that they can remove the hoof from my forehead in a few more days . I think they are laughing at me , just like you #$!%in'    $!#holes !!! ............. just kidding !                                                           On another note , the drags will be held Aug. 4 ( hopefully not the same weekend as dunefest ) , and yes , I am entering my truck in the drags . I did say that the fastest truck owned by a member wins some free performance mods , right ? Well , I'm a member just like you guys ! I wanna win some free stuff ! I'm kidding again ! Don't be scared little chevy boy , my run down the track will be an exhibition run ( that means " it don't count " ) . PDP Diesel will be providing lunch for everybody , hopefully , diesel energy drinks will be there as well . V.P. you bring the mixer ! For the evenings of course . I do believe you can camp there as well , but I'll have to double check . Let me know how many of you are wanting to go so I know how many cans of spam to get for the b.b.q.

[SANDDEMON]

CAN WE ORGANIZE TO FIGHT HOUSE BILL 49, AND SAVE THE ATV RIDING FOR THE 12 AND UNDER RIDERS??? MAYBE GET THE MESSAGE OUT TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND CITY OFFICIALS OF COOS BAY, WINCHESTER, NORTH BEND AND FLORENCE, AS WELL AS THE TOURISM WILL BE IMPACTED , BIKE SHOPS.? THANKS  SANDDEMON

[Dune Dude]

Thanks Sanddemon for the heads up.  Here is the only info I could find on the web about the proposed Senate Bill 49;

As for safety issues, Oregonians who live on narrow, twisty roads would have to slow down to 15 miles per hour under House Bill 2297, proposed by Rep. Carolyn Tomei, D-Milwaukie. And there would no more ripping around the Oregon Dunes, or anyplace else in the state, on an ATV for anyone under the age of 12, under Senate Bill 49 - proposed by State Sens. Richard Devlin of Tualatin and Alan Bates of Ashland, both Democrats.  

Get your phones and e-mails ready this thing needs to go down in a flaming heap! 

[DuneJunkie]

DD, remember he hit a deer a while back.  I'm sure they had to rebuild the whole truck.  Good thing he was only traveling 15 mph when it happened, other wise he may have been seriously injured.

he was only going 15mph because its a dodge...........thats almost top speed!

[RTOYZ]

Shane, I think DuneJunkie wants to meet you at the Drags in Aug. 

[DuneJunkie]

I would like to go, however, I don't think I will be able to get vacation time then..............

I will no my work schedule for August sometime around mid July.........that may be too late........

[PDP Shane]

If you think your chevy can beat my little slow dodge , you dont need to hide behind your vacation schedule , now do ya ? Come down and win some free stuff . Maybe then , you'll be able to keep up with V.P. on the trip home 

[DuneJunkie]

ok, I must admit.....................if I do get some time off...................

I will be attending DF....................sorry PDP, but that takes priority over diesel drags............

[RTOYZ]

I'm sorry about the date. We will be in full force at DuneFest. Make them sooner and we can make a trip up there.

[PDP Shane]

I am looking into a date that may work for all of us . We may be able to meet on a test & tune day or something . Either way I think it would be fun and something different for the club . Who knows , if I can get a date that works for everyone , it could be an annual thing . I would love to be at dunefest as well . Does anyone have the dates for that yet ?

[DuneJunkie]

I would love to be at dunefest as well . Does anyone have the dates for that yet ?

August 1-5, 2007

[Dune Dude]

So lets tally up the valid responses to date:
1.  Bowling night...
The Duraraptor Invitational

2.  More atv riding...
Just plain fun

3.  Diesel drags...
The PDP Kick Butt and Take Names Night
(I'll take it in on my left cheek and the name is Dune Dude)

What else?

[duraraptor]

I have a question for you Shane, does it have to be a diesel, or even a truck?  I may have sumpin for ya?  Will that Dodge beat a ford?

[PDP Shane]

It has to be owned by a member and yes , it has to be a tow rig . Diesels are prefered , just for the sake of ordering parts , but if you have a gas tow rig , and win ...... well , we will figure something out .

[duraraptor]

So if I put a hitch on my El Camino?

[Sandflicker]

You know (as I just got on this site and don't know any body), I was thinking maybe there's a few others that (like myself) would like to get to know fellow quaders in our area.
Maybe pick a date and park and have a get to  barbecue. Or some other sort of get together as a get acquainted function.
Just my 2 cents.

[duraraptor]

That is what this club is all about, as for a meeting, how about the March 10th meeting in Grants Pass?

[Sandflicker]

That's where I live / I'd like to go.

[RTOYZ]

That's where I live / I'd like to go.

Sandflicker

you must come to the meeting then and meet us fellow riders. I also have children (makes it nicer on the camping trips to have some around the same age) Garrett 7 and Tyer 12.

Pat

[Sandflicker]
