I’ve become a SxS douche

[DEEZUZ]

Yea I’ve been putting it through the ringer lately. 15-16k behind a 13yr old 3/4ton. It doesn’t seem to mind much though.

Heading to Silverlake again tomorrow. I’m super pumped to beat the snot out of it again. I bought some side mirrors and a small front bumper so I can mount my flag easier. The mirrors should be a huge help because I can’t see anything behind me when strapped into the harnesses. I also bought a roof off a guy up in Michigan, so I’ll pick that up this weekend.

Very awesome

Had another great weekend at Silverlake. I hope to put my roof on today and order a windshield. They say to do the first service at 25hrs which seems long. Right now I’m at about 10hrs and 230 HARD miles. So I think I’ll go ahead and do the first oil change and greasing. In 2 weeks, we are headed down to Windrock in Tennessee and Durhamtown in Georgia. I’m super pumped because it will be the first dirt riding I’ve done in it.

I don’t know how to do videos, so not sure if it works. But, I took a few videos of my wife drag racing her 700. Hers just has a filter and dyno tune. It’s funny to watch her beat up on dudes while she still has a stock pipe.

Some photos from some trips of the last few weeks. We went down to Durhamtown off-road park in Georgia. We had a lot of fun in the red clay trails. One thing that made it real enjoyable was the directional trails. We were really able to open it up with no worries of oncoming traffic. They also had a dirt drag strip and quite a few tracks. The coolest one was called the Turbo Track. It was designed for newer high hp sxs’s. I was able to keep 70mph through some of it. This was also our first use of the new windshield.

I also ran up to Michigan this past weekend to do the Baldwin trails. My buddy just picked up a new xp4 Turbo and we ran them pretty hard.

Back on Black Friday, I happened to stumble across a FB live video from Shock Therapy. In the video they announced that they would be doing 1hr of 20%. I jumped on their website and ordered up a dual rate spring kit. Not something I was planning on buying quite yet, but their stuff never goes on sale. I’ve been trying to finish up some house projects, so I just now got around to installing them. Still need to make the final ride height adjustments and fine tune the crossover rings. I can’t wait to get this thing out and give it hell. I was getting a little bucking through high speed whoops, hopefully this addresses it.

 

[SleeperLS]

That will make a solid difference.

SleeperLS do you do any duning?

If we had big dunes like silver lake or glamis, I would probably be there all the time. I primarily ride the desert trails and mountain trails out by me. There are a couple dune type areas in southern New Mexico I think. I would like to hit those up someday. Really need a set of paddle tires for that. It is inevitable I will go to glamis one of these years as it is about 10hrs away.

I’m working on planning a fall trip to Little Sahara Sand Dunes in Waynoka, OK. Not sure if that’s something that interests you. It puts Silverlake to shame in size, but is definitely smaller than Glamis and some of the others out west.

That sounds like a good time to me. Looked it up and it is only 7.5hrs away. Not bad at all. What month you thinking in the fall?

I’m kind of low on the seniority list at work, so I haven’t been able to pick my vacation weeks yet. I’m hoping for end of September/early October.

 

[SleeperLS]

Definitely let me know. I will see if I can get the time off as well.

 

[taws697]

I’ll be curious to see what the grass looks like in the spring ?

 

[taws697]

We went up to Silverlake this weekend and got to test out the Shock Therapy springs. I also installed a 300 watt 30in Rough Country curved light bar that work out well. The video quality isn’t the greatest, oh well.

The gf's parents just bought a brand new XP 4 seater to replace their 900s 4 seater. I'm looking forward to ripping that around in Reno this fall. The opportunity to buy their 900s is there but I'm not all that excited about it so I told them to cash in on the covid prices.
