How come I can't see it?

I remember the days when two trailer park girls went round the outside...:smilielol5c:

Welcome back from a new guy wheeler!

congratulations hangingon!

We use it in the dunes, especially when we visit new dunes. It came in extremely handy for a poker run last memerial day when the locations of the poker stops were kept secret. With over 6,000 to cover, we used my tracks to record where we had been and where we hadn't...yet!

It works great but. like swampcat said, it puts a heavy strain on your battery. We have no problems with short trips around an hour or so but for longer excursions, we put them in the Rhino's, RZR's, etc that have charging ports installed.

Welcome aboard crash83! What is it about your wife's new Wolverine that you prefer over your YZ? And what is it that makes you love the site? Inquiring minds want to know :cheers2c:

Now, the bad news:

Montana

Setback in Lewis and Clark National Forest Lawsuit

In April of 2010 BRC, the Motorcycle Industry Council, the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America and Montana user groups were celebrating a landmark legal victory in a lawsuit challenging the Lewis and Clark National Forest (LCNF) 2007 Travel Management Plan.

A federal court in Montana agreed with our claims that the LCNF violated federal law. The central theme of the decision was that the Plan was more restrictive than any of the alternatives vetted during the public review process. The Court found that the Forest's final decision "reduced total motorized routes by nearly thirty percent from the most restrictive Draft EIS alternative. It also closed several routes which were not identified for closure in any DEIS alternative."

The Court also struck down the agency's treatment of off-route travel for dispersed camping. The Draft Environmental Impact Study (DEIS) portrayed as an element common to every alternative a 300-foot-wide allowance, which was already in place in the Forest since 2001. In the Final EIS, and thus without the opportunity for further public input, this was altered to a "vehicle-plus-trailer-length" allowance in every alternative.

Sadly, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals has reversed that ruling finding the U.S. Forest Service did not violate the law when it strayed beyond the range of alternatives proposed in a draft environmental impact statement, as long as the plan differed in only minor ways from one of the alternatives and was “somewhere within” the range of alternatives proposed.

I don't want to say too much about this because BRC and the other recreational groups are evaluating our options. Needless to say... stay tuned!

Oceano Dunes dust study called a little murky

From Eugene Oregon's registerguard.com

EDITORIAL: Oregon’s ‘crown jewels’

http://www.registerguard.com/wilderness-kitzhaber-rogue-wild-acres

Earlier this year, Interior Secretary Kenneth Salazar asked governors and congressional representatives across the nation to identify “crown jewels,” natural treasures on Bureau of Land Management lands in their states that should be considered for federal wilderness protection.

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber took him at his word and recently fired off a wish list to Salazar. Kitzhaber’s requests should receive serious consideration for inclusion in wilderness legislation that the Interior chief plans to submit to Congress in its current session.

Heck yeah I remember him! In fact I believe he once posed the question of why beauty pageants choose from a field of 50 people while the President of the United States is chosen from a field of only two. It's a good question.

Are rear plastics for that bike still available through Suzuki?

Welcome to another episode of "Pimp My Economy" with your host Barack Obama!

Support BRC through e-bay.

BlueRibbon Coalition is excited to announce our third annual Christmas Auction to save trails and keep public lands FOR the public instead of FROM the public. The eBay bidding will start December 1st, 2011.

BRC Auctioneer Del Albright said, "I'm stoked; this auction is kickin' it for public lands and waterways. Businesses from all over have donated products and goodies to make this year's auction a record-breaker."

Raceline Wheels and WARN Industries started off filling the virtual storeroom shelves already. Get ready to see Raceline Monster Diamond Beadlocks and a WARN winch to start with. More partner-contributing businesses will include a long list of recognizable names. Stay tuned.

BRC lists hundreds of items on eBay (as donated by supporting businesses) with all proceeds benefiting their national efforts to save trails and riding areas for our continued access.

"Thanks to the vendors donations, not only is each winning bidder getting some awesome product, they are also contributing to our winning team," said Greg Mumm, Executive Director of BRC. "This annual eBay auction significantly beefs up our ability to fight back," Greg added.

My shameless plug: The BlueRibbon Coalition is a national recreation group that champions responsible recreation, and encourages individual environmental stewardship. With members in all 50 states, BRC is focused on building enthusiast involvement with organizational efforts through membership, outreach, education, and collaboration among recreationists.

I've seen a few good ideas around about how to HELP prevent a trailer from getting stolen

but when it comes to security, too much is never enough. I figured we could all benefit by learning from one another what measures are in place elsewhere so jump in any time to contribute your idea. Here are few I'm aware of

Tongue lock

Wheel locks

Take the wheels off

Chain it to something stationary

Motion lights

Video surveillance signs posted

Booby traps
